我一直喜欢 Turntable.fm，闲着没事或者口味淡了就去跟着一群人听 dubstep 晃脑袋。在它之后再也没有让我兴奋地用一天的音乐产品了。
可就在刚才，我刚刚用到了另外一个牛逼东西：Soundrop。它其实是个 Spotify app，基本原理就是在 Spotify 内跟好友听同一个 Playlist，然后每个人可以添加歌曲，也可以投票改变每首歌的位置，同时还能聊天。
这还不算最牛的，Soundrop 的 iPhone 版 虽然很多地方还不是 retina 的，但是已经强大到跟 Turntable 的手机端匹敌了，更伟大的是直接内置了 Spotify 的 API，登录后直接就可以听了。

Beirut – The Rip Tide 我是在看到 Rdio 上写 “One of 2006’s most unexpected indie success stories” 后才知道是多大的范儿。反正把管弦用得那么淫荡的 indie 也只有他们了。Spotify
Markus Schulz – Markus Schulz Presents Dakota Thoughts Become Things 2 所谓老树焕发第二春说的就是这张专辑吧… 反正我是很开心地听完了，也顾不上 Markus Schulz 现在是入流还是不入流了。Spotify
Eelke Kleijn – Untold Stories 千万不要被这张土鳖的封面迷惑！烂名字和烂封面都抵挡不住专辑里面的才情啊。最早知道这位神奇的制作人是因为这首 Danny Loko – Coastal 当时就觉得这摇摆的 bassline 也太牛逼了，找来专辑一听果然名不虚传。Spotify
Andy Moor – Breaking The Silence, Vol. 2 神奇的 Andy Moor 大叔！这张合集里面也都是狠角色，听完这张建议再把 Vol. 1 翻出来听。Spotify
Penguin Prison – Penguin Prison 怎么介绍他们呢？首先，虽然是同名专辑但绝对不是新人，风格跟 LCD Soundsystem 有一点点靠，另外你听完 Don’t Fuck With My Money 笑了就对了。Spotify
Astrix – Red Means Distortion 绝对的狠角色，这个在俄罗斯出生但是在以色列长大的 DJ 继承了俄国人做 trance 的狠劲儿，当然没有 Arty 之流的滥俗旋律就是了。Spotify
The simplest internet radio since Pandora, now has an iPhone app.
从 M83 开始，最近听 indie 电台越来越多是怎么回事…
The Naked And Famous – Passive Me, Aggressive You 虽然跟妖艳的 M83 没法比，但这支 08 年才组团的奥克兰乐队扎扎实实地借着 The Secret Circle 火了一把，稀奇古怪的采样很耐听。Spotify
Maga – A la hora del sol 应该也是在 indie 电台里听到的，叽里咕噜半天才知道唱得是西班牙语，整张听下来居然很不错。Spotify
Fraction Records Spring + Summer Collection 2011 算我偷懒… 最近一直在补 Fraction Records 旗下的东西，质量出奇得高。Beatport 上最新的季候合集只有这四张，去听 一、二、三、四。
Diego Stocco - Music From A Dry Cleaner
Previously existing as progressive / melodic house entity Solarity, Dusky are London based musicians Alfie Granger-Howell and Nick Harriman. As comfortable writing elegant orchestral pieces or stirring piano motifs as they are jackin’ house and epic techno grooves, their diverse sounds are united by the duo’s singular aim - to compose electronic music with depth, soul and originality.
Their debut album “Stick By This” is released on Anjunadeep on 17th October. Pre-order now on iTunes.
