Blame an average movie about an accountant assassin for my discovery of Sean Rowe, but that's how it went down.

A long-time Paul Mac fan, from back in the Itch-E and Scratch-E days, it's always a joy to hear new tunes from one of Australia's electronica pioneers.

Watching Armin van Buuren geek out to this live performance from Giuseppe Ottaviani is pretty cool.

Great new release this week from Above & Beyond, called My Own Hymn. Another high velocity episode of the greatest trance radio show on the planet.

I’m building a website for a client today. It’s a chill project. So are these tunes from Rocket Empire. If you subscribe to Spotify, enjoy!

IAMOMNI's eponymous full-length debut brings back memories of Massive Attack, Portishead and DJ Shadow, but with an LA twist. Enjoy!

This week's A State of Trance is the best I can remember. Driving synths, chill breakdowns. Coding? Pushing your daily exercise to the limit? This. Is. It.

Eminem put the idea that white guys can't rap to bed. Just in case you're still not convinced /:

Notwithstanding my criticisms of Spotify’s family pricing model, I still love the service. Especially when it comes to hearing new tunes.

Portishead’s Dummy was a revelation when I first heard it and like all great records has retained its vitality while revealing something new on each listen.

Any questions about Australia’s ability to produce amazing music (or tech startups for that matter)? Flight Facilities feat. Emma Louise released by Future Classic.

I have posted this album before, but it's one of my faves and I listen to it often. It is one of the very rare recordings that will stand the test of time.

If you love electronic dance music and have not yet discovered, Armin van Buuren, you're missing out experiencing a master at work.

More *Hilltop Hoods*. *State of the Art*. Sounds kinda old school, for 2009.

Hilltop Hoods is the best hip-hop group Australia has produced. Few would disagree. If you're not familiar with their work, do yourself a favor and check out their debut State of the Art. Here's their new release, Walking Under Stars.

I remember seeing John Butler Trio play in Sydney, Australia in 2001. It was a stunning performance and at the time I thought to myself here was an artist with something to say.

Justifiably one the ten best hip hop records of all time, The Low End Theory swings and grooves like few other records in the genre.

Mastodon is band I hadn't really paid much attention to. Once More ‘Round the Sun is a stellar release.

No idea what the ethnomusicologists say about Robert Johnson, but imho a lot of modern music follows a road back to this master of the Delta Blues.

This record makes me so incredibly happy: can't quite explain it. You'll just have to listen and discover for yourself.

These are some of the finest rhymes ever ... Everyone is due a second chance after all.

Growing up in a very white Australia, Public Enemy had a huge impact on my world view. Thx Chuck D.

The greatest Australian album of all time? You've gotta listen to the entire recording — no cherry-pickin' songs. DJ Dexter is pure genius.

I. Love. This. Record. Good movie too, with a narrative about alienation, foreigners and building walls to keep them out.

Ambient, spacy chill for late night coding or relaxation. You may know Steven Price's work as composer of film scores for Gravity, Aningaaq and many others.
