Chrome Daydream
Chrome stars, jelly hearts and holographic colour. A nod to the glossy, optimistic graphics of the early web.
The notebook changes its cover every month. Each one takes its cues from a different corner of music, paper and internet culture. Explore the collection below.
Haunted Notebook is here through November 1. Coffee Shop Confessional takes over November 2.
Chrome stars, jelly hearts and holographic colour. A nod to the glossy, optimistic graphics of the early web.
Cassette ribbons, red-pen hearts and pink paper. For anyone who ever put too much thought into a mixtape.
Vines wind around the speakers and flowers take over the margins. Spring gets the volume knob.
Pixel ghosts, cherries and electric blue meet the notebook doodles. A little arcade cabinet in the margins.
The pink splashes, coffee ring and black doodles that started it, with the volume turned up. The notebook's home colours.
Peel-and-stick chaos: skulls, butterflies, hearts and neon lightning. Think of the back of your favourite battered laptop.
Torn tickets, halftone fragments and bright scraps. A cover that borrows the rough edges of a wall full of gig flyers.
Black ink, torn paper and acid-yellow sparks. A love letter to photocopied zines and the flyers you kept after the show.
Stars, speakers, tape and every loud colour at once. Back-to-school stationery with absolutely no restraint.
Moths, little ghosts and crimson ink creep through the black flourishes. The notebook has a late-night alter ego.
Coffee rings, headphones and warm paper. A cover for the long walk home and the track you play again when you get there.
Moons, moths and constellations spill across midnight-blue ink. The margins drift into space; the music keeps going.

We recently had some issues with the sql database that holds ColdplaySucks.com. For a moment I was afraid all was lost. I quickly emailed tech-support at hostgator and within an hour I had a reply. One of the server techs logged in and fixed some database issues restoring the site. Phew, and A+ to the great Host Gator, a really fantastic, easy to get ahold of web host.

Another top quality Afrojack track, if you are wondering where that verse is coming from it looks like a combo of : Plus someone singing "A" since thats when the beat kicks in on the Purple Robbpm All Stars song. Crazy!

If Justin Bieber was in the second level of dreams in Inception, his songs might sound along the lines of this version of U Smile, slowed down 800%. At this extreme range of time stretching, Bieber’s bubblegum pop sounds surprisingly like ambient space music – an improvement, if you ask me. This is crazy and sort of enjoyable. via Synthopia

The first video shows a quick video of Eva Simon and Afrojack in the studio. It's a little bit like an interview, but mostly just shots of Afrojack in the studio and playing live, along with some interview cut-ins. It looks like Eva Simons has the next craziest hair in dance music since La Roux. Sorry America, but the Dutch sound is taking over. This second video is HOT! This is the latest single from Afrojack. Clearly this man is the future of house music for the next little bit. The vocal is so catchy, I really hope this keeps...

These three Swedes have been making huge tracks these days. LTWB was such a big track that I wanted to remix the track for my own DJ sets. Their hit summer anthem "One" has been getting huge airplay everywhere, and in the clubs. Check out their latest music video for it:

Here you will find the fruits of my labours. After almost a month in production I have posted and submited my remix of Sander Kleinenberg's epic track "This is Our Night, but with a sexy addition: it now features the vocals of Victoria Garland aside from a complete overhaul of the instrumentation. Now offline but it has been released. Check this post for more information on Massaad + Garland

It's not often that such a low quality video can have such a huge impact. In this case, this music video owns. I feel this is exactly what DJ's at house parties are like.
