Local rapper Kid Millions -- better known to some as John Kuester, co-owner of Lotus Land Records in Riverwest -- has just unleashed the record of the Milwaukee summer. "Victim to the Beat," co-written with Codebreaker's Sage Schwarm, is a fun and breezy retro hip-hop dancefest with a sound that will send you running for your old Sugar Hill Records 12"s -- or at least the first Tom Tom Club CD.

Codebreaker makes its mark walking its own road
Part British technopop (think Depeche Mode), part late-'70s and early-'80s synth-heavy disco, Codebreaker is making music like no one else in Milwaukee. And it's working for them. The group's new disc, "What Is This Earth Love?," has arrived.
