It's the weekend! We all know what that means; music, flashing lights and having an incredible time with your best mates. What better then to get you in the mood for this than Sander Van Doorn's guest appearance on the first ever Spinnin' Records Mix? The whole things is 1 hour of audio alcohol, getting [...]

Melodic dubstep fans, rejoice! Rameses B is back with this teaser, a stunning remix of Vicetone and Collin McLoughlin's huge anthem 'Heartbeat'. This was no small project, as Rameses explains. I went all out on this and produced something melodic and energetic while still focusing on the emotions drawn from the vocals. It took well [...]

Not too long ago, electronica collective Jalebee Cartel officially announced that they were moving on to greener pastures (read the story here ) and one of the members, G "Force" Arjun was already deep into his own side-project by this point. You might assume that he went back to making thrash metal or perhaps he's moved on to a solo career, but his latest venture is a bit more interesting than all of that. G Arjun is one of the founders of SuperSike Games  and recently the company launched their first title on iOS and it's called [...]

I have got an electronic treat here pour vous. It comes in the shape of short but sweet original from Kailo and Moralo, with an addictive vocal sample. The fluttering of the notes behind the vocals really makes this track for me. The style of this song reminds me of something, but I just can't [...]

Wow! Not Some Kid Madera is back with a really fresh remix of One Republic's anthem 'If I lose Myself'. I don't even know what genre this fits in. Maybe a touch of trap? I don't know. Who needs genres though right? This is lovely, perfect for chilling too. And it's a free download. You [...]

This song is the epitome of Walden's genius and just when you thought it could not get any better, Special Features decides to step in and work his magic. The chord progression in this song is absolutely magic with a very Madeon-esque feel to it. Special Features aka Eden Anderson has done remixes of various [...]

While searching for new music I typically go to Spotify, because it has just about everything. The other day I came across the Boston based power-pop group Pretty & Nice , and man am I glad I came across them! The group recently released their second full length album,  Golden Rules For Golden People , and it has been in my everyday rotation ever since.  I was lucky enough to get the guys to answer a few questions for The Nosebleeds about their latest release, Boston, writing, and their future plans. [...]

Let's face it, the apocalypse is fast-approaching. And while this upcoming apocalypse could be of the world-swirling, four-horsemen-laying-waste-to- the-world variety, it's more likely that we're all just going to be chomped on by zombies (we're halfway there anyway). Hell, it may already have begun . We can't really trust the world to be smart while the apocalypse builds up, as this comic will demonstrate. If you're clued in to the rules  and keep your head about you, you might just survive. However, it's near-impossible to know when exactly the outbreak will reach your city, or when someone [...]

In the spirit of almost every zombie flick ever made, director Raj Nidimoru's  Go Goa Gone  doesn't take itself too seriously. Nidimoru and his co-director, Krishna DK, have been working on this zombie comedy for over two years now and are going to finally see their efforts pay off with the theatrical release of Go Goa Gone on Friday, May 10. Saif Ali Khan, Vir Das, Kunal Khemu and Anand Tewari are the major stars in the movie, the story of which takes place in Mumbai and Goa (duh!). When I first heard about the movie, I was skeptical. Bollywood [...]

They infect, they consume, but we just can't escape them. Zombies are a pop cultural phenomenon (check out all the zombie blockbusters that will release this year here ). Over the past year or so, I've found new ways to talk about zombies and believe me, it was easier than I thought. Every few weeks, I'd write Double Tap, The Zombie Watch  and come up with a new take on the shuffling, brain-hungry goons. It was really easy in the beginning. I'd talk about zombie origins , video games , comics and survival [...]

You guys. It's warm outside. The times of sweatshirts and boots are officially behind us in favor of shorts and Sperrys, and I couldn't be happier about it. I'm currently sitting on my porch, taking in this beautiful Ihacan weather (part-time residents don't see it very often) and got the itchin' to write about some music. So I texted Arjun and forced him to tell me how he finds so much awesome stuff and, after some digging, I came up with this. So apparently "Waiting All Night" was, up until this week, the #1 [...]

A name from a Monty Python sketch. Musings about Norway. A breakdown in waltz time. Are BRUCE! playing it for laughs or just misunderstood? - By John Sturm.

Because not everything needs to be super serious all of the time, check out this straight-up awesome video of music sound designer and composer Diego Stocco making beats with ordinary leaves. Those familiar with Stocco may remember his work designing the soundtracks to movies like Sherlock Holmes and Crank, TV shows like The Tudors, and the music for the original Assassin's Creed.

The Goa Project , a crowd-funded "unconference", is scheduled to take place this week between March 28 and 29 at Marbela Beach Resort, Morjem, Goa. The event is an excellent opportunity to soak in knowledge, with workshops, talks and interactions and more, based on six major tracks - Performing Arts and Music, Society, Entrepreneurship, Visual Arts and Design, Film, and Fringe, spread over the two days of the event. Of these, only Performing Arts and Music has been divided into themed sessions (more on that below). Funding for the event has been almost completely crowdsourced through the event's funnel page, and this [...]

Hey everyone! I've got a present for ya! Another song from Magic Man ! This is one is even better than their last song (which is saying a lot, because "Paris" was an awesome hit!). This track is entitled "Texas" and it's a song with a very HUGE sound. "Texas" has that energy that drives through you and gives you that moving chill in your skin and bones. I've listened to this song so many times already. Its so catchy and epic sounding. The synth in the background and the driving guitar powers "Texas" forward, and then [...]

Double Tap, The Zombie Watch is our first line of defense against the undead scourge. Join us as we search for all things zombie and zombie-related, but don’t forget to double tap. Safety first! This is going to be the year of summer blockbusters... of the undead variety. Finally, Hollywood has learned that zombies are truly flexible and that they can fit into genres such as horror/thriller/action/comedy! So much has gone down since George Romero's Night of The Living Dead , but the world has accepted zombies into the mainstream. Sure, you've got films like [...]

You Bred Raptors? has been on my radar for a while now. With a reference to what may be my favorite movie of all time, how could they not be! Jurassic Park references aside , YBR? is an experimental instrumental band from Queens with a penchant for masks. If you live in NYC, you may even have seen YBR? as you've navigated the subways. The band has played many times in stations throughout the system as part of Music Under New York. Playing a recent headlining show at [...]
