Awesome techno, popping beats with smooth synths. This set of tracks really has a ‘snap’ to it, this is the best find in quite a while. Sort of a loungy, housey feel, if you need something to pick you up then throw this in the mp3 player.

Obsibilo – Movie on the Moon – subnet014
Jazzy electro music. The vibe set up by this release will have you mellowed out and tapping your toes. Snappy and smooth at the same time. Great release, great netlabel as well. Excellent basslines by this artist also. -
Terribly interesting web show
Afterworld – a web based show about a guy who wakes up all alone… literally. Where did everyone go? An interesting style of animation, with a narrated storyline. Real interesting stuff here.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
Please bear with me, if the site looks strange (well it definitely looks strange in Internet Explorer anyway). I’m in the process of developing my own theme for the site, so there will be some ‘technical difficulties’ for a few days. Please stand by. Had this been a real emergency… etc. -
Hamsa Lila
Is Hamsa Lila Trance? Or Rock? Or World? A little of all three, an acoustic band that does some jazzy trance numbers that will take you somewhere in between the earth and clouds. Ethnic instruments combine with modern dance beats and wonderfully smooth vocals that speak to that mysterious part of your mind that likes to adventure to exotic locations while you’re asleep. Give that bit of your brain what it wants – it wants some Hamsa Lila. -

Sitting By The Back Door
Here’s my latest tune – sort of southern rock, sort of bluesy. I’ve been told it sounds like the Black Crows. Give a listen and let me know what you think.

Naturally7
I became an instant fan of these guys when I saw this video. Watch the way everyone on the train loosens up by the end of the song. Observe how a normally boring train ride home from work turns into a micro-party, even the complete herbs in the train eventually crack a smile, everyone whips out there blackberrys and camera phones. Be sure to hit up youtube for Naturally7’s concert performances.

Traditional Chinese Music
Traditional chinese instrumental music is one of my favorite things in the world. If there was one place on earth that I could go visit right now, it would be China. To be able to see Guilin, to be able to inspect the clay soldiers in the tomb of Qin in Xian, to walk the streets in Shanghai – that would be my dream trip. But for now I’ll settle for some music from the culture. Sinohits.com has some excellent and well recorded songs available for listening. Sorry, no downloads here – the tracks play in windows media player only. But they are worth going to the trouble for, if you like this sort of thing. (Of course, if you’re just a tad bit sneaky, you’ll figure out how to grab them anyway.) Give yourself a culture injection and give these songs at least one listen.
