Primo music site thesixtyone just hit a milestone of 6000 simultaneous listeners – the highest they’ve ever seen. T61 is responsible for two of the five artists featured here thus far (proj::echts and Bankai) and houses a third, though I discovered him elsewhere (Eim Ick), so naturally I have to show some love. And if you’ve followed along with the addictive video gamey nature of that site (listen to good music, gain points, level up as a listener), it makes sense that everyone who participated in the milestone gained a nifty little badge for their awesomeness. Congratulations on the mosh pit, guys!
To celebrate, I’m asking everyone to send me a link to 1-2 of their favorite artists on the site. I’ll compile all the links here in a long list of time-devouring aural radness – eventually I’m hoping it’ll expand into dozens upon dozens of fresh pages to get your jam on (most of it will be electronic). Starting with what’s been featured:
Bankai
Eim Ick
proj::echts

Don’t forget THroNG. It’s not danceable, but way out there defining new boundaries of electronic music.
