The new album from Ontario’s Memoryhouse is called The Slideshow Effect and its title speaks to what hasn’t changed: their continuing interest in the synthesis of the aural and the visual. It refers to the photographic / cinematic technique of zooming and panning to animate still images, often used in documentary film making to give movement to archival photographs. The 10-track album, produced by Abeele, with assistance from friend, collaborator, and occasional Memoryhouse bassist Barzin Hassani Rad, finds Memoryhouse heading toward a new clarity in composition as well as sound; a more organic direction for artists who are, in their own words, transitioning from a “bedroom recording project” into a fully realized band. Nouvion’s voice has never been more present than on the new album, which finds her stepping away from Memoryhouse’s past reverbed sound in favor of a more upfront, and intimate vocal approach.

When Earth Sleeps is the musical project of Toronto artist Alex MacPherson, blending guitar driven rock, carefully crafted melodies with inspired story-like lyrics. When Earth Sleeps is excited to have recorded their debut album with producer Scott Komer (Fefe Dobson, Silverstein, Protest The Hero). The album, titled Our Future & The Skybound Kids, will be available May 2012 on iTunes. All of the proceeds from the album’s sales in the first 6 months will be given to the The Hospital For Sick Children in Toronto Canada, which saved the life of MacPherson’s younger sister as a child. Four songs from the album can be downloaded for free here. Support a good cause! Have a listen.

Amazing new album recently charting under our Top 200 charts. Amazing Pitchfork review here. Definitely a banger.

This talented Toronto duo are upcoming comprised of Beck Motley and Bon Voyage, and produced by the extremely talented and musically dark Illangelo, have made a splash from the underground to the uprising scene of a melodic, hard-hitting, alternative hip-hop. With their release of their “Where’ve You Been” mixtape, they saw a tremendous amount of positive feedback and interest in this extremely well written, composed, and recorded compilation of songs. Recently, they had shows in the UK, and in the east coast hip-hop capital of New York. In the next few months, they will be performing alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, The Weeknd, Justice, and a ton of other talented artists at Coachella.

New Blood is the group’s new single recently released. Have a listen below, and stay tuned for more!

Any song that combines two genres into one is bound to be a hit regardless. Well, this collaborative effort takes that to EPIC next levels. Listen to DJ Premier, Mark Ronson, Skrillex, Pretty Lights and The Crystal Method as they remix, recreate and re-imagine five traditional styles of music. From the classical perfection of the Berklee Symphony Orchestra to the bayou jams of New Orleans jazz, the RE:GENERATION Music Project is the future of music, now.
