Our affinity for music keeps us on a constant watch for the goods that are out there. America is such a vast country, you never know when something interesting is going to pop up, usually coming from the typical places – NYC, L.A, Chicago, Miami. Instead, we find a young lad producing some worthy tunes right in the countries heartland, Kansas!

With no connection to Dorothy or Toto, “Thunderous Olympian,” a ‘Kansan,’ as they’re called, has not been producing that long. He has held the DJ role for a bit of time, plays gigs, and hosts Radio Stylus – a Thurs night radio show that features electro, techno, house, disco, tech-house, pop, hip-hop, ghettotech, “and all kinds of hip bullshit,” says TO. Perfect! Who doesn’t love ‘hip bullshit?!’ Until more recent, he decided to create some of the music he’d play out. As it goes in the music blog world, ‘bloggenz,’ as he calls them, got ahold of his ‘Lite Ghosts’ remix of Justices ‘Phantom,’ and people started talkin.

Well gabbin is good when it means people in Sweden, far from Kansas, invite you to come and play for them. So for the month of July, Thunderous Olympian will be taking his thunder abroad. We can expect some more remixes and originals, as well as tracks that will come out under his minimal Detroit techno moniker, ‘Olin.’

I’m keen on Web 2.0, his Daft Punk remix (we love thee Daft P), and the Justice, ‘Phantom’ remix. May the Gods shine on you oh thunderous one! (finding it hard not to use thunder throughout this – Feel my thunder babyyyyy!) enjoy.
