Health & Fitness

If you wake up a bunch in the middle of the night, this is the product for you. The sleep music therapy product, Earfree Nitebuds, is a two-in-one speaker and pillow that plays calming music, improving your quality of sleep.

Research shows that, when listening to calming music, we get increased levels of dopamine – the happy hormone – from our feel-good activities. Earfree Nitebuds took this concept and ran with it, developing this new product that uses music to help you fall asleep easy and continue to listen to music while you sleep.

Many of us who have trouble sleeping at night use earphones to listen to calming sleep music, but sleeping with earphones in is just too uncomfortable. Using earphones while you sleep can cause pain and inflammation in the ear; plus, earphones tend to fall out in the middle of the night. But the adverse effects of earphones on ear health is undoubtedly the most critical of these issues.

Earfree Nitebuds puts music IN the pillow to solve the problems caused by conventional earbuds. All you have to do is lay your head down on the pillow to be serenated with lovely music. There’s no earbuds involved – so you can roll around in bed all you like without having to worry about damage to your ears or earbuds falling out.

Earfree Nitebuds are simple to use. Just place the speakers in the special sleep-aid pillow, then use Bluetooth to pair your smartphone and begin your music therapy. Once your music is playing, Nitebuds’ crater-shaped design enhances the acoustics, making you feel like you’re listening in on a concert hall performance. This design also prevents the sound from leaking out, giving you the same quality of sound at a 30% lower volume, so as not to bother whoever’s sleeping next to you.

The Nitebuds app also provides free ASMR music and ambience, soothing the brain and easing any anxiety. This white noise works has great benefits on mental health and attentiveness, making the sleep music from the Nitebuds app particularly effective at inducing a natural sleep.

Earfree Nitebuds uses 3D mesh material for full, fluffy comfort. The mesh also helps the music play through the pillow without getting muffled, plus high-quality microfiber cotton is also used to give the perfect amount of depth and coziness. The microfiber cotton is also a renewable, biodegradable material, which means Nitebuds is eco-friendly, too.

Even though Nitebuds is electronic, the speaker and pillow are fully separable, meaning the pillow can be washed without issue. If you want, you can even use the pillow by itself without the speakers, or even place other items inside the pillow to help you sleep.

For instance, if you find yourself sweating a lot in those hot summer nights, you can place ice-packs in the pillow to help cool off. Or, when you’re stressed out and in the mood for aromatherapy, the CYPRESS insert can be used for some phytoncide healing.

Also, if you have a preference for a specific pillow height, just use the COTTON insert to adjust the pillow’s height to your preference.

Currently, you can find Earfree Nitebuds – the high-tech pillow that serenades you to sleep – on Indiegogo at an up to 41% discount.

House is a popular style of music that some say was developed in 1981 in Chicago. The music was designed to help people escape from gang and street life, settling the untampered consciousness of youths. They were able to mingle with likeminded peers, while also dancing away their troubles. If you attend music college, you will generally learn quite a lot about this part of music history. where did dance music come from? In this post, we will give you a brief taste of its past, and its path towards the future.

The Evolution of Dance Music

Then, there was techno music, which was developed in the early 1990s in Detroit. It is believed that this stemmed from the fact that new sounds, patterns, and textures were developing on a global scale. Techno was its natural progression. Electronic sounds become more unique, and new electronic instruments and devices were being developed. The song’s heartbeat was suddenly down to kick and snare, and the bass was now a backbone of the song. The melody was created by the synthesizer, bringing people to club doors and getting them to have fun dancing the night away.

There are have been many different styles and genres that are all part of dance music. This includes techno, dee house, electro house, megabeat, funky house, disco house, techo, garage, electronica, industrial, trance, underground, minimal techno, ambient, and so on.

We see this type of music as something modern, but it was actually heavily influenced by bands from the 60s. You may not have hear of The Tornados, but their song, Telstar, released in 1962, was arguably the first techno-pop ever created. It also become a number on hit. In the song, the main instrument was the clavioline, which is quite similar to the electric keyboard. The Tornados were a British group and the first ever to score a US number one hit. Intended as a novelty to consider space age, they actually created something that evolved the world of music.

Since The Tornados, many remixers and DJs have emerged on the scene, creating a whole new futuristic sound. Remixing beats and cuts, DJs have created a range of songs, many of them turning into number one hits. At the same time, they have ensured the music industry started to listen to them, competing with each other and against each other for domination of the music scene.

It has to be said that, today, there isn’t a single, standalone genre or sound anymore. They are all influenced by each other, by cultures, and more. Even creator of music has a unique imagination, adding little bits of themselves to things that already exist. It is very rare for a true groundbreaker to come along, like Kraftwerk and The Tornados, but when they do, they change everything.

The reality is also that today’s groundbreaker is probably already in the studio right now, or at least in their own bedroom trying to make something new. We don’t know what it is yet, we don’t know what it will be influenced by, but we do know that it is out there.
