About Me

EMPULSE is the brainchild of Reed McGowan, with the collaborative efforts of many of his peers, including Quentn Harris, Richard Morel, Warren Rigg, TRL, Naked Highway, Edson Pride, Zhana Saunders and others. The debut single, "American Idle", is the first in this eclectic soundscape project. Refreshingly honest & poetic in it's approach, it is an aural snapshot of pop culture & politics. The subject matter is an irreverent & cathartic epithet of modern life...an electronic slam on society. Click on the player to hear some mixes from the 2008 debut single "American Idle", and follow these links below to purchase the first batch of released mixes online! ~Digital downloads available at: HMSPMusic.com, Beatport.com, and i-Tunes
STAY TUNED FOR THE 2009 RELEASE of "FIGHT THE PEOPLE".
