DIY

When soundcloud introduced the 2 hours limitation for the basic account back in February 2010 i decided it was time to bark at another tree, however my friend Denis Yashin decided to go a little further and make his own music streaming website. It has a clean minimalistic design and ease of use. Sure it strikes resemblance to other established services but who cares, it just works. Also on a music prodution note I can't think of another motto for Denis workflow than instant grooves, releasing track after track his sound is easy and unpretentious. Soundcloud is sure missing a lot more than just 29 euro that Denis did want to pay but as he put it "they DIDN'T FUCKING ACCEPT MY CREDIT CARD :D". I've always been a fan of free stuff, not because i'm cheap, but because i never really believed in money. If you really love doing something you'll love sharing it with others and the simple knowledge that other people are enjoying it, well, lets just say you cant put a price on that and Instant Grooves is an example. Ain't nothing to it but to do it.

Hear it to believe it

Prosumer aka Achim Brandenburg delivers one of the most exhilarating House/Techno mixes I've heard in a while. Made for Panorama bar mix cd series and released on Ostgut Ton his music selection ranges from widely recognizable tracks to some hidden old gems and also some anonymous artists but without ever losing sight of a future sound. The arrangement keeps us right in with listening ears, with some raw track changes in between it always has an harmony or groove that rolls throughout the cd. It was released on 6th May 2011 but it still keeps its freshness, and will for a long time, I believe. Many of these tracks are instant classics, if not classics already, that will stand the test of time. Essential.
