Last year, we reviewed “Electronica 1: The Time Machine” where Jean-Michel Jarre collaborated with a huge variety of electronic artists, and now he’s just announced “Electronica 2: The Heart of Noise” featuring an equally impressive roster.
Rein arrived with a bang when her self-titled debut EP dropped in January 2016 – lots of attention in several big media outlets and great reviews.
