20.03.06 - While the printed magazine remains in limbo, with issue X still going strong, we are proud to announce the launch of a new Podcast series, entitled The Sounds of DARKLIFE.
These are audio shows that will feauture music culled from the releases we review in our online area and on the printed magazine.

HOW TO: if you are on a Mac, you're good to go; just follow the links and enjoy the show. If you still use a PC, make sure you have Quick Time and iTunes installed (or download them for free following the Quick Time link we provide in the podcast page).
