An absolutely beautful release of melodic, mellow guitar tracks sprinkled with ambient noise, piano, drums and spoken word that all comes together to create a lush, chilled and slow postrock record.

NEVER SAY DIE RECORDS – Free Music
Dubstep! Why has it taken the orbit so long to come around to this style of music? I have no idea – it is right up my alley. The best way I can describe dubstep is to say that it sounds as though a robot with an impeccable sense of timing has gone insane, broken his programming and wired himself to a synthesizer and a couple of drum machines.
So today I found a website with a pretty decent podcast of tunes from the dubstep world, plus a download page of free music from various artists. If you love dubstep, then this is worth checking out. If you have never heard of dubstep, then this is the place to learn about it. At any rate, go there and get some free music!
Mark Meino – The Techno
Dark, mechanical, minimal and at times, creepy. Thats how I describe this set of six tracks of pure techno. Russian techno artist Dmitry Chusov, alias Mark Meino, offers listeners this throwback to classic techno with a numberswiki.com
minimal aspect to it. Driving beats along with Marks excellent synth work (no loops, he records all his tracks) and an occasional vocal sample layered on top make The Techno an excellent find. It’s perfect music for listening to while driving.
The Stereofox Collective: Post-rock vol. 1
Here is a superb collection of postrock tracks from Stereofox, a fantastic music resource that deals many different genres from electronic to punk to hip hop. This collection features artists who do postrock just the way I like it – not too light, lots of motion and far-away sounding, heavy guitars. These rocking songs are like postrock was back in the day when I first stumbled across it, back in the days of bands like The Big Sleep and Milhaven. Â If you like driving, heavy, instrumental more info
postrock then you should drop by Stereofox and give a listen. Also, explore the rest of the Stereofox site – there are tons of great tracks there to listen to.
UPDATE – There is a track here that is definitely not “family-friendly”, which is how I like to keep this blog. I intended to pull this post when I got home tonight, but on second thought I’ll leave it with the warning. Sorry folks – completely my fault. I got lazy and did not do my due diligence on the first couple of listens.
