FACT: The electronic music scene is growing in Texas and Tommy Blackburn aka Tommy Boy, video director (Telepathe, CFCF) and purveyor of obscure electronic music, is letting the world know with a rad mixtape that he created for Vice UK. Here is what he had to say about it:

“When Vice UK asked for a submission, I knew I had to share the sound that can only be found right here in my home state of Texas. I am fortunate to live in a place where so many of my peers are creating the kind of music I love. When most kids are worrying about how the grass is greener elsewhere, these bands are working hard to make where they are where they want to be…This mix is made up of current Texas synth-based projects and covers many genres, from industrial EBM to techno, leftfield disco to electro, deep house to minimal wave and even a little screwgaze for good measure.”
