Halloween Comes Early With 10th Installment Of Figure’s “Monsters” Series

Plenty of artists try to take advantage of the Halloween hype with mixes, music, tours, festivals, costumes, and myriad other things. One of the most well known in EDM is RL Grime’s annual Halloween mixes, in rotation since 2012. But another oft looked over artist who’s been doing the Halloween thing even longer, and with all original music, mind you, is Figure.

This year, Figure returns for the 10th in his series of Monsters albums, and this one could just be his best yet. For the longest time, Monsters 4 remained my favorite, with “Are You Afraid Of The Dark” and “Living Dead” just two of the massive tunes on that release.

Figure’s Monsters series puts himself ahead of the general curve by creating new, original music year after year inspired by classic and new horror films. Rather than just slapping a spooky mix together or showing up in costume, Figure lives Halloween year round, both on his body as tattoos and in his live TerroVision shows. His Monsters releases are just an extension of that ethos.

For the 10th in the series, “Phantom Of The Opera” and “Poltergeist” are just two of the tracks repping the old guard, while “The Crooked Man” is a relatively newer film, and also brings back Lexi Norton from “Are You Afraid Of The Dark.”

If you’re truly about Halloween and horror in dance music, you’d be doing yourself a disservice by not listening to Monsters 10. Check it out now below!

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
