Los stands de periódicos y tiendas nos invaden con revistas de todo el mundo y cada vez es más dífícil seleccionar entre tantos títulos y cientos de portadas. Generalmente ya sabemos que encontraremos a la actríz o modelo del momento un poco o muy retocados con demasiada información innecesaria a sus lados.

Cada vez es más complicado tomar la desición por tanta competencia e información que vemos a diario, por eso me [...]
another disco house bomb from the MofoHifi team here... Keep Mooooooooving!
Adebisi Shank, Jape and Le Galaxie are just some of the bands who'll grace the stage of Charleville Castle, Tullamore as one of Ireland's best festivals celebrates its sixth birthday from July 29 - 30 this year. Yes, Casltepalooza is back. These days, I spend so much time in Tullamore coaching its American Football team, that I tend to forget it is home of one of Ireland's finest music festivals. Taking place on the [...]
It’s probably been said before, but considering all the bands who’ve reformed lately and basically performed guided tours of their back catalogue, it’s refreshing to see an act like Seefeel who all-but ignore the sound that they made their name with in favour of exploring a completely different avenue. The vibe among The Button Factory crowd seems to be one of curiosity rather than anticipation, but if anyone came expecting Seefeel to dip into influential records like Qique they would have been surprised at how the show pans out tonight. VisionAir are on supporting [...]

Oskar Christiansson is the curator behind Swedish music blog No Modest Bear , and we asked him to make a us mix that will let us know what he's all about.

Deep in the eye of the swirling bloodstorm, it's day 3 of the Gatekeeper video unsheathing. 'Mirage' is 'X-Mix 3 - Enter Digital Reality' as re-shaped by the peyote-fueled visions of the cleric in a tribe of psychic desert beings. It's soundtrack an environmental catastrophe where the Na'vi's homeland is nuked by the remorseless machinery of the Nitzer Ebb alliance. In addition to Thunder Horse, this video was created in collaboration with the Lenox Brothers , a pair of brilliant twins from chicago who created many of the animations. [...]
Below is my first attempt at a music podcast. It was done all by myself, using the power of my not-very-powerful computer. Any constructive criticism is more than welcome, and if you want to be harsh, I will try and prepare myself. It is a podcast in that there is [Read more]
