Oh now this is special. Properly special. Extraordinarily talented map creator Douglas “TopHATTwaffle” Hoogland was commissioned by one Gary Hudston to create a very particular series of Portal 2 levels. Working with Rachel “Miss Stabby” van der Meer, he set about creating some truly spectacular Portal 2 puzzles that lead up to, well, something of a proposal.

The Gary Hudston Project, as the task became known, was Gary’s means of proposing to his girlfriend Stephanie. Which is pretty damned romantic. It could also have been rather cheesy, were it handled by a less talented team. But Hoogland and van der Meer have created something really spectacular (if Valve aren’t offering them jobs soon, I’ll be surprised) and you can watch the whole thing here:

Wow, that was very, very awesome.

TYP’s first single D.I.S.C.O  was created on summer 2011, and contains a sample of Ottawan’s 80’s anthem D.I.S.C.O . the song will also be released in the Warner Brothers 2011 summer dance compilation.

D.I.S.C.O is also available on a limited edition 12” Vinyl. Autographed by the artists, the vinyl contains also the song P.O.P, as a special bonus

This new song by The Young Professionals, a new collaboration featuring Ivri Lider is pretty much amazing. A beautiful mix of modern dance and classic disco with bits of electronic music placed in specific spots, all featured in a great music video that’s probably the highest-quality music video made in Israel yet.

Listen to the song, watch the music video, and then download the song for free from the band’s SoundCloud profile (Linked from their Facebook page). Or, if you’d like to support them, buy the song on iTunes.

WHEATLEY!

I’d love to have a Wheatley puppet like this one… You can see the entire building process over at the artist’s blog.
