    Episode 6 - Elephant Gym "Angle"

    Luis and Mark get mathy AF and talk about Taiwan's Elephant Gym and their 2014 record "Angle." Neither of us is particularly good at math by the way. Luis also drops some personal knowledge on the community.

    Episode 5 - Lasers in a Blender - Crystal Castles "Amnesty (I)"

    Luis and Mark talk about the latest entry in Crystal Castles' catalog, Amnesty (I), and forget about the beer part of the podcast. They also forget about recording production and technology. But you've probably heard more booty podcasts before, right?

    Episode 4 - BONUS JAPAN EPISODE - Andres Velasco y Coll

    Episode 4 - BONUS JAPAN EPISODE - Andres Velasco y Coll

    B-B-B-BONUS Luis and Mark are back from hiatus with Andres Velasco y Coll and a special episode of Crafting the Groove that's all about Japan (the country not the band that Richard Barbieri was in)! It turns out that we have a significant number of listeners in Japan (maybe). We hear about food, drinks, and maid cafes. Maybe Senpai will notice us!
