Our focus is music.

We think that music is the purest form of art, because it can hit you directly, without any rationalization. We think of music not as an industry but as a form of art and culture, that therefore must be free for everyone (then, if a musician's worthy, one should support him, not his label).
We want to spread the word about bands and musicians that see music as an art more than a chore. People that try to innovate or that simply put their heart in what they do.

First of all, we suggest our followers to sign in to last.fm to find out more bands similar to the ones they already listen to.
Here're ours:
Angel Tear (Aka Dark-Blaze)
Aleps
Kain
James

Kustin

Second point: we don't think of genre categorization as an absolute. It's useful (and we use it) to give an idea, but, especially if the music is not one-sided and monodirectional, as good music should be, it's just an approximation and it's not meant to represent the whole of somebody's artistic production. For the same reason, we think that it's stupid to hate a whole genre a priori, but we believe that every artist worth of this name works his own way and should be judged individually.

Third, if anyone has a band or a musician that he wants us to create a link about, just contact us through the /ask or the /request page.

ghostfm: I’m not a big fan of leaving people. I’m not a big fan of people leaving me either. But there always comes a time when you have to utter the bitter, the goodbye, in the airport. And then comes an often emotional hour of solitude. It also happens to be peaceful and relaxing, too. It doesn’t necessarily have to calm you down, but in the transit area you already feel a little weightless and comfy as though you’re already halfway toward your destination city. Last year my airport music was Twin Shadow: melodic but not enticing, a sort of electro-pop you usually find appealing without an effort. I’d like to have more posts on airport music. This is an inevitable fraction of our lives, and the music behind it serves as an aura sticking to moments. Air Tycoon’s “Los Angeles” does not sit in the same category as Twin Shadow but can fit the waiting atmosphere well. It’s repetitive in nature but does not require your attention. It’s stays in a plasma state of stability like it’s not supposed to excite you. And that’s how I’m going to have it on my iPod I reckon. Late December last year, Air Tycoon released an album with an unbelievably funny title (Fuck Everything I’m God). You can stream it via bandcamp. “Los Angeles” is the latest tune. Photo: unknown - but it’s hauntingly beautiful, right? There’s beauty in the industry. At least there’s something going on in there. There’s beauty in the dead too not to mention.
