Fri, 5 February 2010 ![]() I love getting lost in this city. When I had first moved out to Hollywood, I spent most of my night driving through downtown, Little Tokyo, Skid Row, China Town, all the way out through West Hollywood and out to Santa Monica and Venice Beach. Some of these tracks I've compiled on those late night drives, but mainly for when I was going out on the town. This set is perfect for getting ready for weekend wildness, as its filled with soft electric groove, mellow chillwave, and then later with upbeat Swedish electro, italo disco, as well as new wave disco. Enjoy!
NEXT WEEK: ElectroHeart Holiday (Think of it like the BNB Set "Beauty and the Beat", but just with the holiday theme, woot!)
Stay Beautiful,

Fri, 29 January 2010 ![]() The rain has let up in Los Angeles, leaving the city with great giant clouds overhead,which is nice to see in this cloudless town. I've been obsessing lately with Chillwave/Glo-Fi/ElectroGazer since expanding my horizons on this genre. I've been more than anything honing in on this one track by Au Revoir Simone, which I've left as a download below. This set has been perfect for walking through the valley towns out here, and hiking up the mountains of Glendale, especially during this warm, sunny, and unpredictable winter out in the South West.
* I've been waiting to play this song since the broadcast days out in Seattle. I'm finally glad to have been able to include this in a set. I loved listening to that song riding the King City Metro Transit home at night downtown from work through the shady sectors of Central District (home). Weekly Download: Au Revoir Simone- Another Likely Story (Neon Indian Mix) Next week: I'll be focusing on late night sensual city electro songs (kind of like the ElectroLust.FM sets) dedicated to Los Angeles and Hollywood.

Fri, 22 January 2010 A giant rainstorm has come through the Pacific seas onto Los Angeles this week, causing the electricity to waver in an out of Hollywood. Winds are whipping up the palm trees like rag dolls and cars are sliding like bumpercars through the streets and into eachother. Its interesting to see such a dry Summer-Desertlike city turn into Seattle at a drop of a storm. Which with this weather, its perfect that GLITCH-A-RAMA is back up on the BNB with deep dark tones and glitchy metropolitan dance. This set starts out with heavy dance and distorted beats, while the 2nd half is mellow glitch with downbeat experimental tones. This set is slightly haunting with bits and pieces of electro-sexual IDM.

Fri, 15 January 2010 Oh yes, the broadcast all about sexy downtempo, glo-fi, and electro is back with the sixth session of "Hot Music For Cheap Hotels". This set goes over recent down and dirty remixes as well as some great classic tracks from my favorite artists. I added a little shoegazer, and some random house in the selection as well, as this set is all about ALL types of music to get under the sheets with. Enjoy!

Fri, 8 January 2010 Gentle Cycle Orchestra is a dedication set to DJ Steve Mak out in SF. The title of this broadcast was from his night, which was off of 19th and Valencia in the Mission District. Steve Mak had this amazing refined musical taste which was composed of chill out, space pop, and mellow disco. Without him, the BNB wouldn't have existed.I just spent sometime out in San Francisco, driving around the city with him listening to some of his new sets, which were mind blowing. One of the newest things he was into was the remixes by Todd Terje, a Scandinavian dj who's general interests are "Coconuts, Hawaiian sunsets, moose, dolphins, unicorns, and practically everything in a sunset". On this set, I have one of the tracks Steve played, which was a Todd Terje remix of Italo Disco sensation, Isabelle Antena. I have been playing the hell out of this track! Also on this set is the very rare live track of Fondue Knight(Night), by Goldfrapp. This was supposed to be a part of her freshman album "Felt Mountain"(still my favorite album of hers), but was never completed. I have secured a live track of this, and am leaving it as a free download below (7 days, 100 downloads max from today is the limit for now) And lastly, Bent has come out with a FANTASTIC best of album. I get very nervous about retrospective albums, mainly because it sometimes symbolizes the end of an artists career at times (and I'm madly in love with Bent). However, if this is INDEED the end of their career, it is a great bang of beautiful noise. Please enjoy this random set and the download below.

Tue, 5 January 2010 Happy New Year everyone! 2010 is a clean slate filled with new tracks and hopefully some great new releases (I'm personally excited about the New Goldfrapp album set to launch soon)! And speaking of new releases, here is a new session (thats going to happen every beginning of the year) called "Brand New Modern"Brand New Modern is like a Wonderland session in reverse. Rather than going over the set of the best of what happened, this is a session about the best of whats to come. See for yourself!

Fri, 25 December 2009 Happy Holidays everyone! This this the last session of 2009 on The Beautiful Noise Broadcast. It's been a fantastic year filled with so many great musical discoveries! Last week we focused on chill out and downtempo, and this week is all about dance and electro. This is a set about an hour and a half, so its perfect for a decent dance-a-thon!!

Fri, 18 December 2009 Generally the quality of the BNB can be determined by the Wonderland Sessions. If the year is good, I can compile two sessions, one for dance/electro and one for ambient/downtempo. In 2008, I really couldn't come up with two sessions because I didn't have a lot of favorites. However this year has been completely different.It was hard to compile my favorites of ambient/downtempo of 2009 into one set! I spent quite some time, and finally got two sessions down into one. I hope that this will be the same issue I will have in 2010. Here are the top tracks of 2009 selected for this year.

Fri, 11 December 2009 Hey Everyone, I'm Nina Grey, taking over the
BNB this week with an intense melancholy set called "Depression
Session" This is perfect for year end reflection and seasonal nostalgic
depression. Being that I'm from Seattle, I consider myself a decent expert in not
only how to handle the rain, but what to listen while immersed in it (without an umbrella). This set is filled with gorgeous grey ambient
sounds, infused with heartwrenching downtempo, and laced with bittersweet
acoustic melodies to keep your heart at a sweet lull. Thanks For Listening!

Fri, 4 December 2009 Celebrating the last month of music for 2009, I thought it would be best to bring back the 4th edition of ElectroLust.FM. Sensual electro and hot electronica has definitely been a major player on the BNB this year, and thats because of the major surge/trend in this genre of electro (which i'm happy to follow, as sensual music is esentially 'beautiful noise', right?!) Here are some of the tracks that I was listening to out while in San Francisco last week. These are best for late night city walks, rooftop parties, and riding the subway home into the wee hours of the morning.
