A few people who moved from Stockholm to Berlin, found some more cool people there and set up a small company to create the best dedicated music site in the world … soundcloud.com.

As you might expect, over the years they’ve grown tired of getting emails with YouSentIt links or FTP log-ins just to be able to check out their friends’ latest soon-to-be released tracks.

Music is just kind of tricky to deal with over email. So, these smart swedes thought they’d rectify the situation. The glitchless playback, fancy widgets and a rapidly expanding usebase are proof that they are on the right track. The team reside on the roof of Berlin Postfuhramt where sometimes they really party hard!
