Hey Music Lovers! Headstash Music is curated by a fiendish music researcher and obsessed archivist, with a strong bias towards new forms of music, hybrid sounds and obscure rarities. I estimate I've categorized close to 20,000 tracks so far, spread over a couple dozen playlists. Unless you listen to a lot of modern music, some of the more traditional sounding playlists like Jazz, Latin, Middle Eastern and Classical might not be what you expect. The main elements that set it apart would be the emergence of electronica, and the fearless cross-pollination of genres that todays artists are breaking ground with. Other playlists include Ambient, Beats, Disco/Funk, Downtempo, Electronica, Folk, Global Bass, Hip Hop, House, Soul/R&B, Rock, Pop, Techno and more. Most playlists are at or near their 500 song limit!  To see all the genres in a super easy to navigate menu have a look at my blog. It has all these playlists, plus hundreds of Youtube videos, articles and music reviews. See link below. I would love to hear any feedback people have about the music I've assembled, or music in general. Happy listening!

a little bit of jazz, a little bit of loops

shanghai-based chekov is a modular live music project combining electronics with jazz improvisation: sound collages of samples, loops, and beats merge with the live band into a dynamic sonic experience.

due to it’s modular structure, chekov plays in different line-ups ranging from two to six or more musicians, being able to customize and adjust to different settings. apart from trumpet, sax, keys, guitar, bass and drums, chekov also features chinese folk instruments such as erhu, and rap vocals, playing to sets of ambient and groovy electronics triggered live on stage – all adding up to a special mixture of sonic flavors.
