YES: Artist of the Month
Wow! Our second month is coming to a close, and what a month it has been! A great deal of you are probably new readers at this point so let’s review what this wrap-up is all about. On the last publication day of every month, a wrap-up article is issued which runs through everything that was published that month, declares the Artist of the Month (which is selected based on site statistics), a song (via YouTube or other means) from said artist, and perhaps other surprises as the publication grows.
There were so many high points this month, including our first ever contest, which was for a special Capital Cities DJ event at Tattoo downtown Toronto. The turnout was spectacular and the set fantastic. Good reviews across the board!
Thanks again to everyone who has checked out the mag, shared, liked, favourited, retweeted, etc. Replicant Ears has really taken off in the past couple months and we owe it all to you! Your support means everything! Please continue to spread the word while we continue to present you with heaps of forward-thinking awesomeness.
