    Spor – Caligo<\/h3>\n

    Released: February 19, 2015<\/p>\n

    \"Spor<\/p>\n

    An excellently produced, diverse album that I could not stop listening to. It was released on BitTorrent<\/a> too. The soundtrack to the first half of my 2015.<\/p>\n

    Null – Almost<\/h3>\n

    Released: 2 March 2015<\/p>\n

    \"Null<\/p>\n

    This was my favourite find of 2015!
    \nFrom Melbourne, Australia.
    \nIntelligent electronic with some ’90s techno and house sounds in there.
    \nI also enjoyed this     Hardcore\/Rave mix<\/a> by him.
    \nHe has one of the best     artist websites<\/a> I’ve seen. A rich multimedia experience where the visuals perfectly complement the music. Felt like I was experiencing the visual half of the EP.<\/p>\n

    \"Skrillex<\/p>\n

    Released: 16th March 2015<\/p>\n

    \"Phace<\/p>\n

    Found this album from a friend’s recommendation. Is there anyone else who sounds similar to Noisia I asked?
