From the former editors of Pitchfork’s experimental blog Altered Zones, Ad Hoc (http://adhoc.fm/) is a Brooklyn-based, 100% independent, daily music and visual culture publication that brings together music bloggers, writers and active imaginations from all across our global grassroots community. It aims to expose pockets of DIY culture the world-over, strengthen ties across countries, and foster scenes that are working in the shadows cast by the gleam of traditional cultural focus. In line with this, Astralwerks compiles some of Australia - and the world’s – leading practitioners of mind-bending and forward-thinking music. All proceeds from the event go towards the Ad Hoc project.

Rose Quartz (http://rosequartz.blogspot.com/) are five dudes from Australia and New Zealand. They started blogging about great new music at the start of 2007 and since have hit the publish button over 1500 times, put on gigs in New York, the UK, Australia and New Zealand and been one of the founding members of Pitchfork’s collaborative sister blog, Altered Zones.

If you want to know what everyone else will be listening to in months to come, this will be the place to hear it.
