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.

Nicolas Jaar

Nicolas Jaar is a 23 year old DJ and producer, originially born in New York. He also has his own label, Clown and Sunset.

He is currently creating some of the most original music in the industry. By taking elements from minimal techno, but maintaining a lower BPM (beats per minute), around 100, as apposed to 120 - 130, by doing so he creates a nicely chilled out sound.

My favourite track has to be Time For Us. It has a great sound that progresses at a steady pace, introducing new beats and rythmns. You can easily get up and dance to it, or lie down and chill out to it.

Olej

Hailing from Naberezhnye Chelny, in Russia, and DJing under the alias Olej, Олег Мищихин produces some truely amazing electronic tracks.

Олег describes his music as "amateur Deep Music". However, I think it is anything but amateur. His tracks have a trademark hypnotic, trance like beat to them that have strong similarities with the minimalist deep-house genre. I highly recommend his Walks EP, and Airport.

You can find him on just about any social networking website, but I suggest visiting soundCloud first. You can hear the majority of his music there, and there are links to the rest of his accounts also.
