I had never heard of Justin Bieber until he hit the news on Monday - seems he's the latest youtube sensation signed to a big label and now I am up with the play with who he is all this NZ Music stuff just seems so lame and antiquated.

Might just be my mood, so this second coffee should perk me up some. If not the the music I've got coming at me down the information highway now thanks to Arch Hill. They are celebrating, again - the animals, their tenth year of business by giving away a wonderful compilation of their artists music.

Release Of The Day:
nsu - Panic Bells - Remixes

The first release of 2010 for nsu is the Panic Bells remix single, which comes with a pair of quality cuts by two of Auckland's most rated producers.

First up is a dark, grimey and percussive dubstep mix courtesy of AP3X, while on the flip-side, Bromide Dub delivers his so-called signature "menace-funk" rework, rinsing several key elements from the original version.

Panic Bells is taken from the Escape EP, both available now.
