thehypefm

as a budding young dj and fresh music lover, heaps of my time is spent perusing thehypemachine in search of new tracks. and i fuckin love it. the hype machine is for sure one of my favourite websites/search engines/concepts. for anyone who hasn't checked it out, do so now. and its not just me. here is what others think,

“A great place to hear stuff that’ll be big in six months”

“Nearly too good to be true, a fool proof weapon when it comes to seeking new music that you’d otherwise not have a chance in hell of hearing.”

“a stethoscope on the chest of aural awesomeness.”

“The Hype Machine is really what makes the tides work. Screw the moon.”

so its great. however today i came across something else, while not being in exactly the same league, is equally as good. its thehype.FM. its an online radio station programmed by bloggers with their fingers ahead of the pulse. endless good tunes. day and night. and mixes and interviews and the like. just stick it on in the background and it does the perusing for you. simple.

p.s. on a bit of a graphic design tangent, the guy who designed thehype.FM website, eric hammond, has a website of his own just here. pretty good flyers and logos and album covers and things.
