Google I/O 2012 - After Hours - Paul Oakenfold [pics] (+ TC Interview) - Paul Oakenfold is the DJ that drew me into trance and electronic music in the 90s. During the back half of the decade I saw him play a large Canadian weekend festival, was first in line to see him play a downtown Toronto club show and then saw him open for U2 at The Skydome. I bought several compilation and album releases and looked for recorded sets across the web and kept following his music. Fast forward 15 years and my job involves helping to pull together an event that sees Paul as the guest musical act. Completely serendipitous. I chatted with him around soundcheck, took a photo with him before he went on that remains as my SoundCloud profile picture to this day, and had the chance to sit and have a drink with him after and hear crazy stories about his journey as one of the world's top DJ, producer and artist. It was a huge thrill for me the links above include a part of the set, photos (with a few really bad videos.. sorry!) and an interview he gave to TechCrunch while in SF on that trip.
Lo-Fi Earth & Lo-Fi ATC - Cruise the world and listen to Air Traffic Control with soothing Lo-fi Music as a backdrop.
Neil Young Archives - Neil is my favourite classic rocker. This is a great exploration tool of his music throug the decades. Hard to get your hands on Neil's music with it being taken down from several streaming sites.
