Euthanasia

Valerie
Euthanasia might not be the next big horror game to watch out for, but it's certainly worth looking into. The game is offered as as free download and initially came out last year. In the game, you play as Shaun Randall, a retired military servicemen who ends up leading a boring, albeit slightly normal life; that is, until you are euthanised and killed. Then you start seeing the weird and the creepy, leaving you with a confusing but all too real dream. The latest version works great but you have to manually replace certain patches in order to make it fully playable. Despite the slight trouble of manually doing this, the game is certainly a must-try.

Cocolixe: Futuro EP

Starfrosch
Cocolixe from Barcelona (Spain) knows how to melt American soul, 60's French pop and old Italian ballads into a minimal electro mini-pop mixture. This is a refreshing cool summer breeze for the lounge at the Mediterranean Sea. He's a composer and electronic alchemist, a restless investigator of the latest trends, and he knows how to delight the audience with his particular melting pot of techniques and styles. His first album brings us stuttering beats, looped voices and a wild mix of styles.

Andy Berkhout: Songs On Tape 2009

Valerie
St. Louis songwriter, Andy Berkhout, might be best known as the dude who promised to release one free downloadable track for every week of 2010. This might have seemed like a completely ambitious project but so far, the singer has managed to keep his word. On top of this weekly song project, the artist has also delivered several full length records and EPs under his name. This includes this free indie folk chillout affair, Songs on Tape (2009), among others. His other records, particularly Be Silent (2010) and Wake Up For the Day (2009) are also available for sale on iTunes. Hit the download link and get the download from BandCamp. You can enter zero on the amount, but it won't hurt if you enter a donation as well. This guy definitely deserves it.

Paul Romer: The world’s first charter city?

Kademlia
Back in 2009, Paul Romer unveiled the idea for a "charter city". This year, at TED2011, he tells the story of how such a city might just happen in Honduras ... with a little help from his TEDTalk. A charter city is a place where you start with uninhabited land, a charter that specifies the rules that will apply there and then a chance for people to opt in, to go live under those rules or not. - Paul Romer

To Disappear: Into E.P.

Valerie
A rough, melodic, indie alternative rock album; this Intro E.P. by To Disappear certainly makes a statement. The band resonates with a Joy Division/ The Cure vibe that transports you back in time. Hailing from Canada, the group is composed of Ben Sharples, Xavier Martinez Galiana, Jeremy Royal, and Scott Barrow. All of the members shared a common love for 90s alternative rock and Morrissey-esque, melancholic pop and from there the band was born. Intro E.P. was recorded at a home studio and is the first official demo for the band. It's a beautiful mix of haunting vocals, shoegaze rock and pop melancholia.

Subsonic

Valerie
Subsonic takes the whole idea of stealth games a bit further. Normally, when you play games like this, there's usually some device that you use to keep your noise level down. Whether it's as simple as footpads or some hi-tech gadget that cushions your footsteps, hardly anybody in the game world has ever thought of actually creating a gadget that sees soundwaves. Well, until now, that is. In Subsonic, you play an agent for a group of merceneries who specializes in sound technology. Equipped with your sound-vision goggles, your task is to finish the objective for any particular level and get out alive.

VV. AA.: Alterazioni

Natalie
Sostanze Records seem to always deliver when it comes to great electro and techno music, and this time is certainly no different. With beats from some truly amazing DJs, such as Flux, Bebop, Alexis Storm, Digital Brain, and Msl Project, Alterazioni is yet another release that should not go unnoticed. Filled with finger tapping electro sounds, powerful synths, and lots of pure electronic love, the album will surely make you dream about getting right back on the dance floor even if it means turning your living room into the hottest club in town.
