Our favourite Electronic Music Blogs

Friday, May 27th, 2011

Best way to stay in touch with your favourite electro acts is to put some good blogs in your RSS feed. This month we have some real goodies for ya.

First of all there’s Disco Demons. Name says it all: this blog has the most awesome Electro remixes in store for ya. You know why this is? The Disco Demons are super successful Djs themselves! 3300 facebook fans can’t be wrong so make sure you follow them.

Next one up is Some Kind of Awesome. This blog is written by four individuals from Brooklyn, Vancouver, Manchester UK and Los Angeles so it covers a lot of great stuff. Mainly amazing and rare remixes and Electro tracks, but also a few Indie tunes get thrown in so its a great mix for new discoverys!

Another online mag we love is Vacay Wave. Vacay Wave is an electronic music blog streamlined to bring you the latest and best from the music scene around the world – this includes Electronica, Electro, Dubstep, Dance, Indie Electro, Nu Disco, Nu Rave, DnB, House, Minimal, and more! The writers want to share their love for electronic music and their constant state of Vacay.

If you fancy a bit of Electronica, check out Electro Club Radio from France - you can receive this station via STREAMIUM. Make sure you crank it up!

Our favourite Travel Blogs

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

Time to get out of your trusted neighborhood and see the world. We wanted to check out some great travel blogs for you this time.

One of the really good ones is Globespotters by the NYTimes. With themes like the gentrification of Mumbai’s western sea front and its vast swath of the resident flamingos or the London Antiques Fair in Chelsea… their reporters are all spread all over the world, bringing the coolest events straight to you via their blog.

Another classic: Lonely Planet! This Travel Guide has been an inspiration for people for many, many years. They document various things… the picnic culture in Turkey, recommendations for first-timers that travel to Hawaii or Tattoo-tourism all over the world.

If you’re someone who prefers a trip to be planned out to the core, this is the perfect website for you. You can also go to your local book shop and purchase the Lonely Planet Hardcover books.

Perfect Station with this:  Slowburn with Innocent – A time-travelling, genre-hopping, globe-trotting mix of music with a laid-back tempo and mood on wjcu.org. This is of course available via your STREAMIUM.

Streamium’s favourite Hip Hop / Rap Blogs

Friday, February 18th, 2011

Last time we dug out our favourite Indie Music Blogs – this time we’d like to make Hip Hop the center of attention.

We do enjoy reading Concreteloop. This week you can grab an overview of the Grammys in pictures, the coolest behind-the-stage-impressions and, of course, some new fresh music!

Earmilk also has a fantastic Hip Hop and Rap section. Highlights in the past few days were the new Video by Nas and Damian Marley, a free download for Eminem’s ‘Gimme the ball’ as well as Pusha-T with ‘My God’.

Also awesome: The Rap Up. These guys like to cook up unusual stuff! This is a little more underground, a little less mainstream than Earmilk. For some rare gems, add these guys via RSS feed or add them on Facebook for some fresh tunes, yo! (Picking up the lingo here:)

For some instant Rap, whip on your STREAMIUM and tune into the Rapmonster from Pittsburgh. Rap Monster offers new rap songs of 2011 via it’s hip hop community of unsigned artists.

In Search of the Best Music Blogs

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Earlier in October, we introduced Club Philips to you: this tool allows you to add MP3’s from your favourite blogs by copying the URL of the track and saving it to your Club Philips ‘My Media’. You can then create your own playlists from all those great tracks out there and listen to them via your STREAMIUM. This basically screams for a list of great music blogs.

One of our favourites is GorillavsBear. They just did a post on their best songs of 2010, so in case you have missed a few great indie tunes this year, this is a great chance to catch up! 23,226 followers on Twitter can’t be wrong!

Indieshuffle.com is another gem in the blogosphere. They post a couple of great tunes every day, ranging from rare remixes to the latest indie hits so if you want some new ipod input, this is just the right blog for you.

If you like a broader spectrum, pop on over to the Music Ninja. This blog covers Alternative/Rock, Electronic, Folk, Experimental and Hip Hop. This week they have an awesome Michael Jackson ‘Bad’ remix up which is totally worth checkin out. Just click here.

And another blog who has a safe place in our hearts: Pigeons and Planes. This visual diary is a place where you can keep up with good new music, whether it be mainstream hip-hop, indie rock, or anything in between.

We really hope we gave you some inspirations with our most hearted blogs… if you have any great blogs you’d like to share with us, get in touch via Twitter. On this occasion, we’d like to introduce German Radio Station BYTE.FM to you – Each second Wednesday, they do a show called ‘Blog n Roll‘ where they introduce their favourite blogs with a selected playlist.
