No fue fácil la tarea de elegir nuestros favoritos dentro de los temas recomendados del mes de julio, ello por la altísima calidad de lanzamientos y de sorpresas que recibimos este mes en NNM.cl. Para empezar el conteo, no podemos dejar en otro lugar a dos de nuestros productores favoritos, ambos noruegos, Todd Terje y Lindstrom , tanto cuando trabajan juntos como en solitario sólo saben crear joyas musicales y esta no fue la excepción. Muy pero muy de cerca lo sigue el señor Morgan Geist, quien bajo el ya conocido seudónimo de Storm Queen [...]

photo by Ken Roeder Chicago indie rock band The Sea and Cake have announced a new record and released its first single. Runner is out September 18 on Thrill Jockey Records, and the band will tour shortly after that. Their tour will include a stop in Seattle on November 3 at the Crocodile. The new single "Harps" is an ethereal mixture of electronic and organic channeled into a seriously beautiful tune. You can download it below: [...]

With a name like Christian AIDS, is there any way you're not getting attention from music bloggers or the indie press? This UK band's been getting a lot of love from some hype machines lately thanks to their deft combination of witch house and four-on-the-floor aesthetics. Thankfully, the duo (since renamed " Stay+ ") have all the talent to back up the recent-ish interweb fanfare. Coming off like a combination of Salem , The xx and Crystal Castles , the group trades in grimy bangers that are as appropriate on dimly [...]

Click image for more artist information Sounds like: Jamie xx, Crystal Castles "The xx - Untitled New Track" What's so good? This track just emerged on my Tumblr dashboard labelled as a new track by The xx. After playing it, I think it probably is more than an elaborate hoax. Although we have no idea where this came from, or what exactly it [...]
The Hood Internet on Monday released their 5th mix annnnnnd oh boy it's a good one. I haven't been able to stop listening to this. There are a lot of great blends going on and while my recent favorite blend of Arcade Fire and Blondie didn't make this mix, a ton of other favorites did. [...]
2010 was a fantastic year for music and a very good start to a new decade of it.

You might notice that the December 2010 mix is a little different from our usual mix. First, a lot of these tracks have been included on prior mixes whereas I normally try to avoid re-using songs from prior mixes. Second, it is pretty light on the indie rock (our bread and butter). This isn't intended [...]

This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the site, but sometimes I get backlogged and can't get through writing [...]

As you all know, yesterday was 09-02-10, so in honor of the date and the show that was a part of so many of our lives in the early 90s, make sure to grab the 3,912 excellent versions of Jamie Walters’ “Hold On” that we’ve included in the Dig-It section below. Now to the links. We hope these links introduce you to a site or two that you may not have known about before. All are definitely worth checking out, bookmarking, and reading on a daily basis.

QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like, out into the wide web world (or dubya dots). Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the site, but sometimes I get backlogged and can't get through writing up pieces for each artist and stay on top of the game, so hopefully this will alleviate some of [...]

I awake Saturday with not so much as a hangover but rather the feeling that my whole body is trying to tell me that 2 days in a row of alcohol and fast food is more than enough thank you. It’s not a pleasant feeling. I remind myself that I’m not getting any younger and that I really should have figured this out by now. Sadly I feel dreadful all day, and this has a knock-on effect on the amount of bands I drag my sorry carcass to see. [...]
