  • Dan Gries – Various Tracks

    Dan Gries, aka grease, produces mellow piano tracks and rowdy breakbeat electro.

  • A Led Zepelin Cover

    I did a cover of ‘When The Levee Breaks’. It’s for a contest hosted at The FLipside, sponsored by Image Line, the maker of FL Studio. Listen and let me know what you think. This is just a preliminary version, it’ll get cleaned up in the next two weeks.

    Laters…

  • Uniquetunes – A Year Rocking

    es18.jpg
    Jazz quartet that does electro jazz. Seven tracks, live studio and club performances. Originality at it’s finest.

  • Band Of Mad Women – Rodopted

    The name of this group is apt. These folks do things musically that normally just shouldn’t be done, but they pull it off quite nicely. For instance, a reggae vocal track over a funk bassline, american indian style chanting mixed into an electro track, etc. Weird, but in a good way. A very good way.

    While you’re checking out Band Of Mad Women, head on over to Britney. and vote for them. Britney. is a music blog that operates like Digg.com in that users vote for the items they’d like to see on the front page. I’ve made some excellent finds there so far.

  • Sunburn In Cyprus

    Various tracks by Sunburn In Cyprus, featuring chilled out, mellow vocals by Milena Jurczik over down tempo tracks that create a totally relaxing mood. If you like Morcheeba, then check out Sunburn In Cyprus.

  • Revolution Void – Thread Soul

    Yes! Revolution Void has released another full length album. Revolution Void is organized by Jonah Dempcy, who has a knack for combining jazz and breakbeats to create something that no one else is doing. Thread Soul is a funky electro trip down the jazz aisle. I especially enjoy track 2, ‘Biomythos’ – the stand up bass is perfect, combined with ambient stabs here and there to keep it moving and the everpresent breakbeat. Then track three, ‘Mind Mapping’ goes in an experimental direction, a trip best experienced on head phones.

    Thread Soul gets my pick for net release of the year.

  • Explosions In The Sky – The Rescue



    Ambient alt-rock. A musical journey from one place to the other, reminiscent of The Big Sleep.

  • Lunar – Hybrid Awaken

    Thanks to Motorman for the heads up on this net release. Chilled glitch beats back up wispy synth sounds and orchestral instruments. Very relaxing, but Lunar still packs a punch.

  • Arturo en el Barco – Music for Students

    An ambient yet glitchy release. Created by Angélica Negrón, from Puerto Rico, these tracks are slightly reminiscent of my buddy blipp, found at the auditorium. Dreamy piano with ambient spacescape backgrounds carry this release from start to finish.

  • Madison Strays – Lost In Photos EP

    Old school alternative, if The Cult and Bush had a baby it’d be this band. Think back about twenty years ago, when you were checking out stuff like Talking Heads and Peter Gabriel. This is what you would have found between The Cure and Depeche mode. Madison Strays has a retro sound but still stay fresh.
