Quote from The Guardian

Posted on | August 28, 2009 |

“GLC’s hometown, Newport, is currently the 119th most active city on CitySounds.fm, a clever new site which enables you to listen to the latest music from any city in the world. The site pulls in its streams from the excellent SoundCloud.com, then uses the location tags of the artists and listeners who have uploaded music there. With so much music now available to stream from so many websites, browsing songs by city turns out to be an enjoyable way to throw up some unpredictable sounds (although much of it does seem to be dance-related). It might be terrifically snappy breakbeats from Newport’s Oscar TG; the Bridge’s Love Dance uploaded by a mid-80s synth-pop afficianado in Athens; or the latest lolloping electro from Chile’s Gunjack in Santiago. Best of all, you can click the Random City button and be transported to somewhere (and something) you really wouldn’t expect. How else would you get to hear politically driven piano ballads from Malolos in the Philippines?”

This fun mention of CitySounds.fm was published in The Guardian’s series Click to Download today, thanks guys!
