Headphone Commute

Headphone Commute is an independent online magazine that focuses specifically on the latest electronic, experimental and instrumental music.

They mainly write about reviews, interviews and record labels, but their main significance to me is the podcast. It is usually a weekly podcast, lasting around an hour or so and I always manage to find something new in them as well as still hearing tracks from some of the biggest names in the genres.

you can find all their articles on the Headphone Commute website and the podcasts are posted onto MixCloud, so definitely check it out.

Mr. Wi$e - Narrative Mixing

This truly unique listening experience comes courtesy of US based DJ Mr. Wi$e, who has mixed music and everyday sound together beautifully.

Mr. Wi$e (Brett Wise) used an extensive collection of found sound from a network of creative commons and mixes it together with some well known modern classical tracks. It is possible to close your eyes and imagine that you are actually standing by the side of a street, in a shop, or in a crowded room listening to live music.

1st Movement, Land is intended to be played through a set of headphones, and after listening to it twice myself, I highly recommend it.
