While doing my usual rounds I stumbled upon something quite surprising: a two hour DJ mix by Dr. MaartBleepGalore composed entirely of music available on Ektoplazm. Artists featured include Soul Kontakt, Anakoluth, Nuclear Ramjet, Shapestatic, Tsabeat, Crow Nick, Telepatica, and many others. The flow of the set is certainly surprising–there’s nothing quite like hearing Nuclear Ramjet at 145 BPM or whatever speed that is–but it works well enough. Interested? Download it here!

Here’s another silly video by Kristofer Ström for Minilogue! The song is the title track from their 2CD debut, Animals. Watch it here:

And in case you missed it, here’s the award-winning stop motion video for Hitchhiker’s Choice:

DARKRAVE will be commandeering the entire Big Bop building on the 1st Saturday of every month from this day forward. This event is going to be huge so I hope you can be a part of the good times.

This DARKRAVE is a GLOW PARTY with extra black lights. Therefore, I encourage everyone to dress in white or UV reactive clothing. This event will mark the first performance of Bizune at DARKRAVE. The Kathedral will be hosted by the popular psy/goa promoters Shakti Collective. They will be transforming the Kathedral into a psytrance UV heaven. Holy Joe’s will be our EBM/Industrial stomping ground. I hope to see you all glowing on the dancefloor.
