  • The Veldt

    Ray Bradbury, the famous author of Fahrenheit 451 (among many other things) who passed away earlier this year wrote a short story called “The Veldt” back in 1950. It’s a fantastic story about the future, technology and the imagination. If you’ve never read it before, I recommend you check out the full story here.

    In 2012, the story comes to life and is retold, in part, by deadmau5 and Chris James. A long range collaborative project by the two gentlemen (deadmau5 is Joel Thomas Zimmerman from Ontario Canada while Chris James resides in Long Beach, CA) the story comes to life with vivid images, catchy vocals and the deadmau5 proven beats to match. But don’t take my word for it. Check it out.

  • Sports (DJ Plat) – an Up and Coming

    I love discovering new musicians. Soundcloud is an amazing place to explore all kinds of new music and hear full tracks, and even download some.

    This is one such artist. Just listening to the available tracks on Soundcloud you can hear the musical progression and developing skills as a DJ. It’s well worth checking out.

  • Nit Grit – Sick Slick Sounds

    If you are dubstep fan, there is something you should know. Nit Grit is bringing it like nobodies business.

    I stumbled on to Nit Grit while listening to Grooveshark a few months ago. After doing a quick search I found his website and discovered, much to my delight, that all the San Jose artist’s music is available there…. for free.

    Nit Grit has a great sound. Very dubstep, but also very emotionally diverse. Each song is a sonic ride through his well-chosen sample base. Some songs tick along and a slow pace, building layers upon layers of sounds, while others clip right along and rage like a dirty wall of sound, smashing all eardrums in its path. It’s even more impressive that Nit Grit understands the future of music distribution… and makes it free to all who want to hear.

    So check it out. You’ve got nothing to lose, and Nit Grit has everything to gain. Grab a free album and then check out a tour spot near you.
