Mary Jane Baker free Fidget, Electro, and Bassline mix

Total party mix from Toronto DJ Mary Jane Baker.
MJB is known well for her styles behind the decks and in rave media (she is also a talented designer).

Quality tunes and tasty tracks. MJB has an incredible flair for mixing a set proper!



In her own words,
This is my first recorded house set. WARNING to those who don't enjoy house you can GET down to; this set is HARD and DIRTY, and probably not like anything you're used to. It's very possible youre head may ex/implode. With tracks ranging from a variety of prestigious and award winning 'Nu-Aged' producers, this Nu-Rave house mix includes a selection that borders on a variety of genres such as Garage, Techno, Fidget, Trance and even Breakbeat. I wanted to share nothing but badass basslines, cheesetastic vocals and never ending delicious drops, to keep those rumps shakin.


Big thanks to Jessica for the set! Now download and enjoy!

PS22 Chorus public school chorus sing their hearts out

The chorus at PS22 , Staten Island, New York have turned heads, ears, and news channels towards their vibrant and emotive renditions of such iconic songs as Survivor - Eye of the Tiger, Tori Amos - 1000 Oceans, and Viva la Vida by Coldplay.


The video that caught the viral pull:

PS22 Chorus - Eye Of the Tiger

Metric Official video for Gimme Sympathy + XTRAS

The brand new album Fantasies from Toronto's Metric encapsulates and enforces Emily Haines' views on many subjects. Vocal, synthy, and deeply down to Earth - the album hits all the right spots.

This particular track brings back the wave of excitement I first felt listening to the original debut several years ago. Pop-py, but not generic. A satisfying return of the bright Canadian band.
"Who would you rather be: The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?" Here's Jimmy's answer: "Neither. One is dead and the other is corporate!"



Gimme Sympathy




Listen to the entire album and get excited to catch Metric live. Drowned in Sound invited Metric to review the new album track-by-track. Check it!

Little Boots Video for the single New in Town

Siftables - Interactive Music Cubes



Siftables are cookie-sized computers with motion sensing, neighbor detection, graphical display, and wireless communication. They act in concert to form a single interface: users physically manipulate them - piling, grouping, sorting - to interact with digital information and media. Siftables provides a new platform on which to implement tangible, visual and mobile applications.



Sounds like a tasty exploration of electronics? View how the seemingly simple cubes can be used to create dynamic sound modulation. Might be interesting to see at a Chip-Tune party or in the production studio.
