“The award winning “dwelle.ing” are a range of carefully designed micro-buildings that are highly sustainable, fast to erect and extremely adaptable. They can achieve zero carbon status, potentially meet Passivhaus standards and if doubled-up (which can be done at a later date), will meet Lifetime Homes Standards.
The building concept responds effortlessly to the occupants’ requirements, however varied. It can be personalised from the outset, but can easily change to Read more The dwelle.ing buildings
After five murderous albums with System of a Down, three solo albums and one vivid collaboration with Arto Tunçboyacıyan (Serart), the time has come for Jazz-iz Christ. This is an album I was really expected since Serj Tankian posted on his SoundCloud page the first track of this avant-garde/fusion project. This is not metal, although it has a few powerful guitar riffs, but it’s a nice melange of progressive rock, funk and jazz with several more or less exotic flavors.
Jazz-iz Christ is Serj’s brainchild, but truly is a collaborative effort between several musicians that Tankian curated to be part of the group and this self-titled album. Among others, there are considerable contributions from renowned pianist Tigran Hamasyan, flautist Valeri Tolstov, trumpet player Tom Duprey and additional performances from Stewart Copeland, actor/musician Davis Alpay and Vincent Pedulla. The 15 tracks that comprise Jazz-iz Christ, is mostly instrumental effort except for 4 tracks: “End of Time”, “Distant Thing”, “Song of Sand” and “Garuna”.
This is an exciting trip and a colorful amalgam of progressive jazz, electronic, ethnic and rock elements, a cool trip into the generous area of genderless avant-garde music with strong jazz roots and resonances. Read more Jazz-iz Christ – Jazz-iz Christ (2013)

This is a mixture of indie/alternative tunes with smooth, jazzy perfume and uplifting, but still dark and contorted, Latino fueled dance track. Swinging on experimental waves stubbornly. While the blusy introduction it’s smoky like a Badalamenti soundtrack, the rest of the song pumping on high energy. Enjoy!

I’m old, bored, and wtf, I honestly admit it: I’m a hater! So, I’m not really into this, it’s not my daily “casual” music, but it’s for free, it’s summer, and a mixtape it’s always kind of handy these hot days wherever you are, whatever you do. Hip-hop/Rap/R’N’B mixed up with wobbles and drops, twisted off noises. Crunkstep? A new breed of Dubstep, dirty, nasty, filthy, whatever. Contorted, dissonant, pretty abrasive, but designed for the dancefloor. Risk free, free download, worth a shot. 33 tracks running for an hour.
