Veronica Maggio’s voice is soft, a muse-like melody floating into your ears. Her gypsy-like undertones mixed with a general bump from the european lounges make for a wonderful listen. The swedes know how to make a solid chill tune. The song to listen to is Kan inte säga nej. Check it...

I was perusing a list of artists related to deadmau5 when I came across Ellie Goulding. The soft british voice mixed with some synth and a medium beat makes for easy listening. Her cover of “Your Song” by Elton John is refreshing. She’s an easy listen. Check out Lights and...

As an artist as well as an engineer I work hard and I work often. I can work for hours while still allowing my mind to break from the critical thinking in the free moments in between ideas and execution.  This is where I would like music comes in. When I am heavily focused I can’t...

Man, this is some seriously industrial noise. What the hell is the girl even saying. Do I care? No. I like the monster sounds and it’s crazy good listening for creativity flow. Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites is a great album for that dark mood you’re in and you’re looking to...

It’s been a really long time since I’ve heard a good song with some fairly original lyrics. Miguel really nails it with his sweet song and urban beat. The mellow speech and well thought out analogies makes this definite favorite of mine from this summer. Check it out on Spotify or...

Man I’m really getting into this techno-ish dubsteppy thing that’s happening this decade. Latest love? Bounce by Calvin Harris. Check it out on Spotify, Youtube or...

Nero is my latest dubstep discovery.  This London based duo have produced a song that could be mistaken for being produced in the 80′s.  The drone underneath an electronic surface vibrates your eardrums in all the right ways. Listen to Nero – Promises   Spotify or...

I was browsing some new releases yesterday when I picked up on a very similar sound in one of them. Remember when I posted about a  group I’d come across like Penguin Cafe Orchestra a while back? Well apparently Leona Lewis and Avcii caught on to the addictive little stanza from the...

Oh man Spotify. You make my life complete. I CANT STOP DANCING AT WORK. Also David Guetta & Benny Benassi … how I never expected you to wind up working with names like Flo Rida, Snoop Dogg and Chris Brown. I would never have...

I started listening to some Aretha Franklin last week and got into a funky kinda mood. That’s when I discovered Aloe Blacc. He’s got a good voice and this song tells a good story.  Listen to it on spotify. If you need a spotify invite, Justin Bieber is giving out seemingly...

So, like everyone else, I love spotify. I got to listening to  Time of My Life ( listen here ), the latest album release from 3 Doors Down. Honestly, I only listened to their one major hit song Kryptonite in the past. When spotify recommended their album, I hit play and got back to coding. I...

This is an old favorite of mine, played excellently on the piano. I’ve been itching to learn how to play the piano. I feel like there’s so many songs I would be interested in practicing and perfecting. The best part of a piano, unlike the violin, is that you don’t need an...

This is an older song from Mike Posner’s latest album with vintage hints and visual shout outs to Duke University. It’s got a mellow sound with a shoulder bumpin’ beat.  Singing through his perfectly trimmed beard, his voice stirs memories and nostalgia for my...

There are times where you happen across something that is wonderful, resonates within you, and makes you feel a certain positive way even though that something is simple and possibly meaningless to everyone else.  Having played the violin for so many years has tuned my ear to music with...

Creative juices really flow when I have some music on. I have been on this pop music stint and these are my favorites from these last couple weeks. They’re pretty much all about dancing. Move your body, out on the floor Put your troubles aside And start living Anybody can let go Throw away...

I was browsing some dubstep music and I heard this song and thought to myself  “hmm… that voice sounds awfully familiar”. So I looked it up and to my surprise it was MILEY CYRUS. Yes, the same disney curated teen pop idol whose music had most recently annoyed me was singing...

Don’t tell me you haven’t heard this song yet. Can you believe Willow Smith is only 10? This girl has some serious attitude for being so young. I wouldn’t expect much less from the product of Will and Jada Smith, though. And she IS the product of Will that’s for sure....

I couldn’t quit browsing kpop tonight. If you can get past the really awkward engrish at the beginning of this song, it’s actually pretty catchy dance music. Anyone want to try some Korean BBQ? I’d really like to go to Iron again, in November. ...

It’s not news to anyone I love electronic and the latest trend that brought it mainstream has thrilled me to no end. My friend Kevin introduced us to a local restaurant called Iron Age. It’s a Korean Barbeque restaurant with a little kpop twist. They play popular KPop music videos...

This has been a mainstream song for a while but it hits a chord with me. First of all, I tend to be biased to rock songs that effectively incorporate string instruments. Something about the vibrations that come from a violin or cello that kinda rubs my soul the right way. I also love a smooth...

David Guetta became pretty famous last year for his single Sexy Chick but the rest of his album is pretty jumpin’ too. If you’re a fan of epic beats, you’ll enjoy this next...

Kate Ryan is a french artist and her dance version of Desenchantee is definitely enchanting.  Has a very early nineties feel. This song was on a CD I borrowed from my friends brother, Mohammed. I actually never returned...

Cascada is a european dance group and I love their songs. Their beat tends to be repetitive but for danceability, they...

My good friend Henry turned me on to this up and coming new artist.  There’s something I love about her vintage sound and video. Also I really like her face.  Check her...

I kinda got into Trance music at my first job at an IT firm back in 2004. I had fired up Yahoo radio for the eleventy millionth time and just out of curiosity chose the eurodance station. One extreme coding session and four hours later, I was totally hooked. So now I listen to classic rock,...

I visited my parents this weekened and their knockout roses are just blooming. I got a couple shots I really liked.  I think I’m going to go to Home Depot and buy some for the entire length of the right side of my house. That’s a lot of flowers, but it would be spectacular next year. Both...

I got my hands on the Owl City album recently and just listened through it.  If you know me at all I love things like dance floor beats and techno/electronic/trance stuff. I was intrigued by the appearance of Fireflies by Owl City on the airwaves. It had a very unique sound to it. It was...
