Considering we've spent a bunch of time connecting with a cool load of people who are obviously interested in blogs, we've decided to compile a little top three today to help you out in your future quests for good tunes. We'd be agreeing and smiling politely if you were to tell us its any ones best guess what 'cool' is, but let this list serve purpose as our take on the best three blogs out there at the moment. Where hoping this serving doesn't blow your mind and get you wildly addicted to the well-composed and very established sites your about to be exposed to, but if it does, be sure to pop back into the Fridge once in awhile! Our criteria was pretty damn simple. How much good music do they post? How often do they post it? And how well the artists we're acknowledged. Here's our take, we hope you like!
1. You Can Call Me Pelski
We actually do! While we've unfortunately maintained very little contact with the scenester over the past year, it's impossible to put him anywhere other than the top spot in conjuring up this list. His taste in music spans endlessly, with only one consistent rule - 'no throw away rubbish'. He doesn't care much for the fad genres either, evident in the diverse and comprehensive artist list he has built up over the past years. Every now and then a 'Pelski Highly Recommends Chart' pops up, sort of like his scripting into a continuing bible of the best dance tracks in the world. It's not the shit you see clogging up Aria charts, but the well produced, intricate work of those artists who just 'have it', irrelevant of their 'social status'. We're not going to say Pelski has the rest of the list completely covered, but when it comes to select offerings of amazing music with write ups to match, he's doin' pretty damn good (he's even got his own clothing line). He just recently handed half of his work over to a protege under the alias 'Charles Darkley' (who happened to kick things off with a sick mixtape, get it here) and has just dropped his latest Pelski Playlist! Here's our favorite tune from the bunch, but be sure to get the rest right here, this guy is dope! This sucka's a rework by a guy named DJ Punish on one of our favorite producers out at the moment - Alvaro. Make sure you thank Pelski!

2. Palms Out Sounds
These guys don't need introductions or spiels. They've been around the block for ages (2005 to be exact) and they have kicked off what was once a small project into a very profitable and successful site, branched off into Palms Out Sounds Records. Sure, they might have turned into the blogospheres version of a money making machine, but the crew have kept it real and continue to deliver quality rounds of tunes in a friendly manner that's got their readership well upwards of the roof. They seem to have quietened things up a bit in August on the blog side of things, but that can be easily attributed to the hectic workings behind a record label (which has spat names out like Norrit, AC Slater & our much loved B. Rich). Regardless, here's a little sample of what the team have provided lately, bit of different, dirty summer fun. If you like it, make sure you make visiting them a regular thing, just like us yeh?
Example - Watch The Sun Come Up (Joker & Ginz Remix) palmsoutsounds.blogspot.com
We could sit here and chat about Disturbed Beats for days. Their just straight up cool. They deliver a bunch of style out of the UK and have a very prominent following in Australia too, maybe put down to their continued work with the crazy Wongo. They deliver funky tunes and we'd best describe the overall feel as 'jackin' when it comes to snapping tracks off their page. The team behind it also have a really cool exclusive mix set series (top left of the link) going on, and smash out some awesome and informative work. We find that we just can't stop going back there, just to keep up on the scene and all that, you know? :) Check out a little taste from the team lately, drop them a line and blow them kisses for the good music!

That concludes our little 'podium ranking' of blogs at the moment. Before you shoot us a recommendation about a blog we must have surely 'missed' because it is clearly better than one or more of our choices, we had about 20 that all deserved a mention but it's just that tough! Honorable mention shoots out to the champions behind the likes of Deckhead, Penned Madness, Stoney Roads, Discobelle and more. Jump 'em now!
