Henry Steinway is an LA based producer known under the pseudonyms Clockwork, his electro house project, and RL Grime, a persona more focused on hip hop and trap music as shown in his album VOID, the first full length album under either alias.  RL Grime first started to gain popularity with his remix of "Mercy" by Kanye West and singles...
*Note that this list is purely my own opinion. I'm basing it off of originality, past performances by developers, and released content thus far.   10.

With The Endless River, Pink Floyd, reduced to David Gilmour and Nick Mason, aims to end its run on a positive note with a...
WATCH THE TRAILER BEFORE READING! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIP_gtjDtfE] Normally I don't say this with films, but believe the hype. Because Whiplash is not only an amazing film, but it's also one of the greatest films to come out of this year. Already heralded as one of the best films of the year and winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance...
