My friend sent her single song to me on the Youtube .When I first played her songs, I just press play button again and again. I'm wondering why Youtube doesn't have replay buttom.
Anyway, I have a strong willing to share this incredible girl to you. When this album was released in 2010, she's only 22 years old. I'm  impressed! Look at me, I'm nearly 22, but do not have any achievement yet. How come  she has this beautiful and soulful voice, even could seep into your heart. So just put up your earphones and cover your ears, and listen to Mara Hruby.

Mara Hruby from Oakland, CA.She arrived on the scene at the start of 2010, playing shows throughout the Bay Area, and is releasing her debut EP, From Her Eyes. Mara has worked on this album for the past nine months; she has applied her multi-talented dedication to recording, arranging, and engineering her own work. She has performed on stage, dancing and backing other artists in the Bay Area; unconsciously preparing herself for this path. She has chosen to speak through music in order to connect with those of us who love music.

During an interview with a local entertainment magazine, Mara was asked to describe her sound: “My sound comes from what I have experienced in life. I feel my sound is organic, distinct, melodic, eclectic, and filled with sensitivity. To say the least, I’d call my music a melodic melting pot.”

The current practice of recording “covers” of well known music by well loved artists, has led to some very creatively unique results. The surprise breakthrough of Les Nubians’ version of Sade's mellow and soulful ballad, "The Sweetest Taboo," helped their American debut album, Princesses Nubiennes, to achieve a higher position on the Billboard charts than any other French-language album had in the previous decade.

These seven tracks represent the genesis of the view “From Mara’s Eyes” of the various works of her favorite male artists. Each song is connected to a memory experience in Mara’s young life. The beauty and elegance of Van Hunt’s “Character,” Bob Marley’s love of Jah, Mos Def’s soulful poetry, André “3000” Benjamin’s “Take Off Your Cool,” as well as D’Angelo’s “Send It On” – are all examples of art forms from today’s exceptional musicians.

Mara Hruby is a mesmerizing artist who performs on stage with poise and grace. You will be surprised to discover how naturally her music will enter your heart.

"He is the poet of Romantic Period in MUSIC world." 

I think he is good at catching  natural materiel in our environment, such as cock crowing, wind blowing, and children laughing etc... You would feel a little bit chill but not cold through his music and this is also one of the reason that I want to share his music. When I first listened to his song, I feel  really curious about him. Because I was expecting I could listen some beats at first. But the beginning sound was birds singing!So I would like to call him as a nature poet, just like William Wordsworth, and I want to give you brief introduction of him.

Michita(満ちた ) which means filled, just like his music. So many beautiful melody and emotions. Michita was born, raised, and still lives in Hokkaido(is Japan's second largest island, it is also the largest and northernmost of Japan's 47 prefectural-level subdivisions) and started DJing in 1988, getting his experience at Club Ghetto, Precious Hall and Nome, whilst performing together with numerous artists. He released a number of mix CDs under the alias "Gipsy MZK Tripps", and in 1995 formed A.I.N.P in his hometown with JFK (Mic Jack Production). After meeting with B.I.G JOE and DJ DOGG, he started full-blown work on track making in 2006. He first really became well known in the underground scene across Japan in 2007, featuring on the Libyus Music label compilation album Listening is Believing vol.

Michita became well-known in the underground scene in Japan in 2007 when he featured on Libyus Music’s compilation album Listening is Believing vol. 2. Shortly after his two debut releases, ONE and TWO, Michita was already considered one of the best track makers in Japan. Michita’s tracks are for the most part beautiful and relaxed, often a little sad even, but he has also made harder beats for rappers.


If you like Nujabes, DJ Okawari, and Uyama Hiroto, you must love Michita!!

Who is Bob42jh?
First of all, I want to introduce this cool man, Bob45jh. With nearly two million upload views and over five thousand subscribers on Youtube. Bob42jh also known as Rob is becoming a popular source for underground hip-hop music. Bob's music selections are obscure yet adhere to the highest standards. There is an emphasis on new music and ambient instrumentals with positive, skillful emcees appearing on tracks. His channel has big influences on  the underground artists and help their movement grow.

I always find many treasures on his channel, because this is a wonderful source for rare music. I'm very impressed  the songs he finds and  decides to post. I am curious  what is  the criteria he use to select as well. Recently, I saw he talking about how he chose music. He said "I have an office desk job which is boring so I spend most my day listening to music.I think it’s this that has made my channel popular." But his final goal is hoping everyone could enjoy great music. I think he is so real and such a good man!  He always said he just want to say thanks to all the people who send him messages to thank him  for introducing them to new artists - that’s all he wants to do. The amount of appreciation people show him is overwhelming! It keeps this guy doing what he does!

With the holidays just around the corner, we’re very stoked that Bob42jh reached out to us with the suggestion to release another compilation through TheFindMag.com. That was a no-brainer of course, so Christmas came early with the release of his brand new compilation ‘Films About Ghosts’.


Enjoy this collection of tracks and as always, all praise goes to the artists involved. If you like a track, check the artist for more music and support where possible.

Bob42jh: “A lot has happened this year. Personally, musically, but most of all around the world. This year has flown by. So at a time many of you guys prepare to visit friends and family, I hope this compilation can accompany your journey. So from me to you all, I wish you a Merry Christmas, happy holidays and a blessed and safe new year.”

“If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts…”
