Bring the funk on with Hermigervill. This is an absolutely EXCELLENT album of hip hop breaks, scratching, old school synth lines, funk, and who knows what else is in there. If you can translate the site, please let me know, I’d love to know what language that is. It looks like Norwegian or something. Anyways… enjoy this one – I know you will.

Nick Schelle – We Should Have Been Done Hours Ago
Electronic breaks and funk well done. Nine tracks of funkiness with a slightly humorous edge. The second track, Kashirai, really stands out – the fast hand drum line really makes the track. Then the organ comes in – perfection. Wrong Man is another good track, it reminds me of the Chemical Brothers track ‘Born Too Slow’. This album is top notch, probably one of my best finds on the net so far.
Olchey
Olchey! Tuvan throat singing at it’s finest. This is a video of a concert by a group apparently called Olchey. Not much information is availiable at the site, but trust me – it’s worth the download. There are five members, all playing various stringed instruments, with two (maybe three?) vocalists performing in the Tuvan throat singing style. This is a must download video! It requires the DivX player, and it’s a large file (550 MB) so you’ll want to have broadband to get this. Enjoy!
Transfer One
The first release from the netlabel Transfer. Trance music! There are four tracks from various artists, each with their own style.
Kobra Audio Labs
Instrumental hip hop. Some funky sampling going on here, simplistic beats and instrumentation in the style of DJ Shadow.
Parallel Worlds
A set of outstanding rhythmic soundsketches. Combines raw studio synth sounds with outlandish scifi ideas, for a series of music that will transport you to another dimension.
Stimmhorn
All I can say about these fellows is WOW! Amazing sound from some swiss guys, combines yodeling, resonant throat singing, various horn type instruments, and modern electronic glitchy music. You absolutely *must* check this out. If you only listen to one track from Stimmhorn, make sure it’s ‘Minor’, the first one on the page. Do not miss this!
Happy Generated People – Compilation
Crazy pop influenced breakbeat tracks. HGP convey a good sense of humor through their music, with ten tracks of energetic breaks.
Sergei Rachmaninov – Etudes
Rachmaninov, the Russian composer, greatly influenced generations of composers. Here are fourteen of his Etudes-Tableaux.
Oakhurst – Various Tracks (and some christmas cheer)
First this: Yay! O Holy Night, the William Hung version!
Next, check out this:
Go get some bluegrass for christmas! Not an actual web released cd, but there’s plenty of tracks in this bands archive section, so you can create your own compilation. Excellent polished bluegrass sound from these fellows.
