Every once in a while, you find something that does it right, that deviates from what came before in a way that just makes sense and makes you question why it wasn't done sooner.

I love music. I enjoy the variety of artistic expression and the transparency of the spark of creativity that good music gives you into the original artist's state of being. I look for music isn't well packaged, well marketed, or well managed. It's on the unclean edge of music that the best of the art form are form, in my experience.

But before I start to sound like a hipster douchebag, let me be clear: I look for good music because it's fun. That's all. When the talented artist is enjoying what they are doing, I find that I often do as well. I like my music fun.

Radio Soulwax and Aweditorium bring the fun back to exploring music. Both in very different ways, they make music tactile and enjoyable again, like it was when we spent hours in a crappy beachfront record store combing through albums of obscure bands looking to make it big.

Both of these apps are free, fun, and worth exploring. If you like exploring new music by bands you may not have heard of, or playing with the music of bands you have in inventive ways, those way be the apps you are looking for.
