Soulwhirlingsomewhere just released a new "name your price" ep, Sleeplike, on Bandcamp.

Soulwhirlingsomewhere first emerged on Projekt Records in the 1990s--producing records of hearfelt, ethereal music that calls to mind everything from Red House Painters to Brian Eno and a slew of other acts.

Don't let this foolish exercise in comparison feel you; Michael Plaster created, and creates, something all his own as well. His music is like a fingerprint, when you hear it you know it is his.

DJ Puzzle (aka Jason Donnelly) is always releasing so much material than it posting on one of his projects will find three more in the email. He makes loop libraries, produces music and tons more.

For the 12 year anniversary of DFA Records he has done a "We Love DFA Mix" which you can hear HERE.

You can also download some free music. The first is funk music Donnelly did with John Hobart. Check out Funkin' Around featuring John Hobart HERE.

And you can produce your own Funk music using a limited Peace Love Productions Funkstep sample pack. This costs $14.99 and the $$ goes directly to the producers and performers. Go HERE FOR SOME MORE INFO AND TO DOWLOAD.
 
One of DJ Puzzle's most popular free downloads are his Brazilian Lounge Sessions. This had over 1300 listens on Soundcloud in two days. You can check it out HERE.

His loops have been used by so many artists it would make your head spin. You may not have seen his name cause, well, you can buy loop libraries and use them as you please.


Puzzle's new record, Look Ahead , is available for download now for $6.99 HERE.

The release includes 14 tracks, some of which have been used on TV shows. They are mostly upbeat, danceable tunes. It is available only via the DJ Puzzle website.

The Faint are reissuing their third record, 2001’s Danse Macabre on October 30, 2012. The release is remastered with six bonus tracks from the time. The release also includes an large booklet and is available on a triple disc set with a DVD and on double vinyl (which also includes the CDs and DVD).

The DVD includes archival footage from the band, music videos and projections videos they used on tour. The album will be limited edition—5,000 for the CD/DVD release and 3,000 for the LP/CD DVD package. It sounds like a LOT these days for something you refer as a “limited edition” but that is neither here nor there.

The band is also touring and the dates are below. Pre-order the record HERE FROM SADDLE CREEK. Get the track, Take Me To The Hospital, for the price of your email too.

DJ Puzzle (aka Jason Donnelly) is a musician, producer and maker of loops extraordinaire. Recently TWO of his sample CDs, Wobble Talk and Clubstep, made it into the Beatport Sounds Top Ten list for Dubstep. Any producer looking for dubstep and brostep samples might be into it. Check them out at Beatport. Keep in mind these are not songs but samples so YOU can create songs.

This isn’t all of DJ Puzzle’s work. Check out more at Reverbnation.

But again, this isn't all. As you might imagine Donnelly creates music. You can  check out his latest single, Lose Control (Heat Up The Snow) at Juno Downloads or at iTunes.
