Welcome to the Party!

When I take that inevitably damning “What am I doing with my life” self-survey, pretty much everything I care about — writing, DJing, record collecting, party throwing — has revolved around music. In my teens (true story!) I would often say that music was the only friend you could always count on; and while I might not be so emo on the subject now, the power of a good song to capture my mood — or transform it — remains unrivalled.

Something else about me: I can be impatient. So, as one of those women who proudly, loudly proclaims “I am never, ever birthing children!” (too messy) it seems poetic justice that I’ve waited nine months, almost popping at the seams, to deliver Loudcrowd’s music to the public now, at our launch. Not that I did it myself of course — the entire Loudcrowd team worked for countless days and nights to bring this site to life. We’re finally out, and I’m exhausted.

Our sound has a lot to be excited about: brand new tracks from Miike Snow, Datarock, and Phoenix, unreleased material and remixes from the Twelves, plus a freshly curated playlists by Steve of Soulwax. And our favorites Kid Sister, Cut Copy, Holy Ghost! and Justice are on rotation as usual.

Hope you like our new site; feel free to play until your fingers go numb—and when you regain feeling, make sure to send us some feedback on how awesome it was.
