One of the reasons I haven’t been posting lately is that I have been moving back to my home province of Alberta. I was in Montreal for over a year and loved it like a second home. I’ll be taking Calgary and area like a villain (hopefully), but until I make my big break I’ve got some tunes for you.

NROTB or Nu Ravers on The Block have been flexing their dancefloor muscles around Montreal for a while now, and played with some of the best. I’m upset I didn’t get more of a chance to see them live, but here is a bit of a make-up…

The boys just released Droplet to the blogosphere and when I asked them if I could blog it, they sent me a good cross section of their other works as well. Droplet is nice and moody, while Miam Miam has a great pac-man sample that reminds me of the first rave I went to when I was still too young to buy beer (but is still fresh enough for any club night).
