Washed Out is Ernest Greene, a young guy from Georgia (via South Carolina) who makes bedroom synthpop that sounds blurred and woozily evocative, like someone smeared Vaseline all over an early OMD demo tape, then stayed up all night trying to recreate what they heard. To hear Greene tell it, he’s only been making music as Washed Out for a couple of months. But he’s already generated attention thanks to gorgeous tracks like ”You’ll See It”and the BNM’ed “Feel It All Around”. This guy’s music is absolutely incredible.

As you can see on my blog, music is very important part of my life and every free moment i use as ‘me time’, I spend it looking for new music. It impacts my work and personal life a lot. My favorite music genre is trip-hop but this past summer I have been listening to electronica and indie pop and rock as well. Here are some of my favorite artists: … massive attack,  portishead,  lamb,  bjork,  thievery co,  morcheeba,  simian mobile disco,  the tone, amy winehouse,  basheskia,  vela havle,  yello,  tricky, moby,  faithless,  hooverphonic,  everything but the girl, tracey thorn,moloko, roisin murphy, 2Sleepy, Air,  Bent,  Chicane,  Barry Adamson, Blonde Redhead,  mungolian jet set,  peter nils molvaer,  chemical brothers,  chrystal method,  dj shadow,  dj cam,  goldfrapp,  hot chip, royksopp,  kultur shock,  kkn,  white stripes,  coldplay etc etc…………………  the knife, junior boys,  cut copy,  mirwais,  dizzee rascal,  martina topley bird, g race jones…..  and lately… the passion pit,  snob scrilla,  morgan page,  pictureplane…

The other day I accidentally found about Snob Scrilla. This US born Australian makes incredible indie/hip-hop electronic music. I downloaded his Day One album and got obsessed with his song without any title or ‘………’. I cant get it out of my had, just constantly repeating it on my playlist. You have to listen to it ;)

If you are looking for cool stuff on a daily basis the The Cool Hunter is definitley right place for you. Design, Interiors, Fashion, Music, Entertainment, Architecture… the best of everything on just one place. I spend hours and hours of my life looking for inspiration right here.

Layering memorable pop-driven lyrics over the crisp synths and pounding beats of progressive house, Morgan Page has emerged from under the radar with a unique sound that connects with dance music veterans and newcomers alike. And with one GRAMMY®-nominated song and two IDMA nominations (Best Breakthrough Artist and Best Progressive House/Trance Track) in 2009 alone, producer, remixer and DJ Morgan Page has firmly established himself as one of the top talents of the next generation of dance music producers. Here you can see great video for his song The Longest Road. Remix is by Deadamus, or visit his personal website.

Every day I spend some of my time looking for new music and I accidentaly found Hype Machine – website where you can find new songs every day, new remixes of some old stuff and the most important thing of all, direct links to download them instantly if you like them. Enjoy it like I do ;)

Passion Pit is an American electronic band from Cambridge, Massachusetts. Formed in 2007, the group consists of Michael Angelakos (lead vocals/keyboards), Ian Hultquist (keyboards/guitar), Ayad Al Adhamy (synth/samples), Jeff Apruzzese (bass) and Nate Donmoyer (drums). My favorite song is The Reeling and it has a very impressive video.

Koop is Oscar Simonsson & Magnus Zingmark.
When listening to Koops music it’s somehow easy to believe that it’s played by a small orchestra, but in fact the music is based on samples. Thousands of small clips from records puzzled together into new songs. All the drums, strings, horn sections and choires are actually sampled! This is a very time consuming way to make music (it’s one of the reasons it takes such long time to make a koop album), but it’s the only way to create the surreal Koop sound. One thing though, that for sure aren’t sampled, is the vocals. Many singers has blessed the Koop albums with their talent, and on Koop Islands the singers are : Ane Brun, Yukimi Nagano, Hilde Louise Asbjornsen, Earl Zinger and Mikael Sundin. Koop Island Blues is sung by Ane Brun and it’s taken from the album “Koop Islands”.
The video was shot in Paris by J.F. Julian (director) and is starring french actor Mia Jacob.
