Jagwar Ma – Uncertainty (Cut Copy remix)

 

artworks-000074755517-7pnpsh-crop

This stellar remix is a journey — an intimate penetration of truth, eight minutes of complete immersion in disco abyss. Sometimes you just have to dance it all away and embrace the empty space of what’s to come. Seeing the void as an opportunity to create your world is key in these pressing times where humanity is undergoing so much drastic change. Indulging in the wisdom of insecurity— that is, embracing it as a fundamentally inherent state of being– opens the doors to that which we can hardly even fathom… Uncertainty is all we will ever have.

Cut Copy – Let Me Show You Love

This was the last sunset we saw in Jamaica and as it happened the new Cut Copy was playing, perfect. Let Me Show You Love couldn’t be a better title for this chapter in our lives.

If you admire somebody you should go on ahead tell ’em
People never get the flowers while they can still smell ’em.” – Kanye West

I’ve realized a lot lately but mostly that real isn’t visible to the fake and you can’t judge something from the outside looking in so it’s important to follow your own heart, listen to what you feel and keep your cool. Everybody thinks they know you, has an opinion about what you should be doing but you gotta take all that shit with a grain of salt. I know that sounds abstract but those things that make you happy man, hold on to them – Just keep holding on to love.

Some moments are better experienced than expressed so I’m glad I was able to capture what I saw. Enjoy.

Blank

So I had an iTunes nightmare Friday night which ended up in me losing all my playlist, client work and DJ selections. Everything I do is based on my organization so the magnitude of this fail is so ridiculous that I’ve found it hard to even have an emotion about it. Instead I’ve been up for the last 48 hours re-doing all the work due in the next few days and pretty much rebuilding my work life. I haven’t had much time to think about it because the consequences of not bouncing back immediately don’t allow it but I’m realizing that this is how all problems should be dealt with – objectively. I could sit here, cry about it, look up to the sky and ask why me or I could void the unnecessary emotions and immediately get fixing the problem. I don’t know if it’s experience kicking in or what but I’m digging this new reaction, it feels kinda like that picture up there – blank.

You ever see Roger Federer lose a point? You ever see him win one? The reaction or lack thereof is pretty much streamlined no matter the outcome. I was always fascinated by that nuance and now I think I’ve really starting to understand it. Win or lose a point, 40-love or love-40, the ONLY objective is to win the next one. When you think about it that way it’s hard to justify worrying about some things.

Anyways, I should be working right now but I couldn’t leave you guys hanging for another day so I had to take a break. I’ve been listening to nothing but world music for a hotel chain in China but this morning on my way to poison my body with more coffee I was playing the latest playlist from the ShaveUrLegz.com crew and it fit the mood perfectly so I thought to share, enjoy…

Cut Copy – Take Me Over (Flight Facilities Remix)

First of all, that art work is amazing, I’m always thinking up metaphors about the concrete jungle but that waterfall idea take it to a new level. Just when I was finally in tune with the new Cut Copy vibe the remixes start pouring out but when their this good who can complain. First it was Tim Goldsworthy’s dance banger version and now Flight Facilities with their chilled out nu disco interpretation. You might have seen that name around these parts when we posted their summer anthem Crave You, or you may know them from their vast array of amazing remixes for just about every artists we love. I love the way these guys produce because of their sense of spacing and timing. I remember one of my conductors in high school telling how important silence was to music and how important it was to let things breath and develop. I became facinated with the concept and came across a quote by Mozart that has stuck with me ever since…

Silence is very imporant. The silence between the notes are as important as the notes themselves.” – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

It’s dark and raining in the concrete jungle and this remix sounds like summer in le Midi, might be time to take a trip somewhere. Alright, press play on this one and just ignore the ugly sites outside, enjoy.

Cut Copy – Take Me Over

And we’re back! Excuse the lack of post recently but it’s hard to sit in front of a computer during the mini vacation. I have a lot of catching up to do but I wanted to start off the week with Cut Copy’s new single from their upcoming album Zonoscope. Their last album, In Ghost Colours, was released in the distant past aka 2008 and was front and center in the 80’s inspired electro pop movement that currently dominated the scene. Take Me Over is another feel good dance track which stays completely true to the Cut Copy formula. The production is clean, the bass line is funky and the song makes you want to move

What else you want for free? – 50 Cent

If this song is any indication, this new album will be quite promising. Enjoy.

Cut Copy – Future (Chromeo Remix)

Future – it’s a time to think about the past.”

This song is about about a guy who is romanticizing that his long lost girl is out in the world reminiscing about him. I watched Disney movies too, when I was 5. To all the bachelors and bachelorettes out there let it be known that this soft type of behavior is unacceptable. Thinking about the past is a very indulgent practice that keeps you trapped in a distorted reality based flimsy thoughts that may or may not even exist. Why be sad or caught up thinking about the past when you can make the most of the present?

Far away, will they meet again one day.”

The problem with a lot of relationships is that people see what they want to see and not what’s actually there. This is the number one reason why it seems like people do complete 180’s when they break up. The truth is they didn’t really change, you just weren’t aware of what was really going on. The say love is blind but sometimes it’s just blinding. Besides all that, the past just keeps you out of the moment and with one life to live that’s just wrong. If Chromeo had written these lyrics it would be a little more in tune with the Space Age but it’s still a banging dance track, enjoy.

Predetermination is an absolute truth to the degree that you continue doing the same things you’ve always done.”

EMPT: Greatest Hits 2009, Vol. 2

The_Greatest-Cat_Power_480

Round 2: Fight!

I feel bad for anyone who see’s those words and doesn’t immediately hear the Street Fighter voice in their heads, this post would have started off a lot more entertaining for you. So last week we started our greatest hits series which will be one post a week till the end of the year highlighting some of our most loved post. We’ll start off with Lose You, from Peaches’ I Feel Cream. My post on this song inspired a comment by a guy named Richard which is probably the most entertaining and passionate comment I’ve seen on this site to date. Check out the original post here and scroll down to see the comment.

Peaches – Lose You

The next song is a mash-up by Brooklyn’s own Bearbot. The song features the lyrics to Young Folks which is hands down my favorite PBJ song. I wrote a post about it back in September, check it out here.

Bearbot – Me and You (Peter, Bjrn & John vs Cut Copy)

Finally, I’d like to close off this installment of our greatest hits series with one of my favorite songs from 2009, Electric Tickle Machines – Women Are The New Men. I pretty much wrote a book report on this subject so I won’t talk much about it this time around but check out the old post here and listen to a great song about a very relevant topic, enjoy.

Miami Horror – Sometimes

After a few notable remixes Benjamin Vanguarde aka Miami Horror has announced a debut album and released a new single that I can’t seem get enough of. I’ve said it before, when it comes to the whole electro-pop thing Australia has the game locked tight. I’ve heard some people say this sounds like Cut Copy and I can’t disagree but then again both acts are from Melbourne and artists inspire each other and that’s not a bad thing in my book.
Being half extreme realist and half fantasist I was completely taken on an adventure when listening to the songs lyrics. Addressing topics like youth, aging, doubt, discovery and adventure, this song represents that point when you see the light but can’t totally let go of the darkness.
I’m starting to realize that keeping your mind focused on the right things is one of the most challenging aspects of life one has to take on. Maintaining an awareness of both the good and the bad is a crucial part of maintaining balance in life, which to me means focusing on the bad is a crucial part of self-destruction. I’d write more about this but it’s lunch time and I’m starving so peace in the middle east, enjoy.
There’s something lurking from the shadows within
Stealing the colour and life from our skin
They fantasise fury at no extra cost,
Darkness approaches now we’re at a loss

The Twelfth Hour

The Twelves

Will someone please explain to me the phenomenon that is time while at work? Doesn’t it feel like right before you get to work time is flying and you can’t move fast enough but the second you sit down it’s like you go into some alternate world and it takes an hour for 5 minutes to pass. Work sucks huh? You know what, I really like the concept of that new Bruce Willis movie. We should have robots that represent us at work while we do important things like thinking of more ways to use robots and not do anything. That probably won’t happen today so I’ve got a little something to help you day dream and procrastinate more than you already do…

The Twelves released a new 60 minute mixtape two days ago and I think my friend Ben’s facebook message describes it best: “new 12s mixtape = predictable amazingness.”  This is the followup to their previous mixtape Episode II, which I never got around to posting but will in the next week or so.  I’ve been listening to this all morning and it rocks, there’s really nothing else to say.  These guys just get it when it comes to song selection and production. The transitions from song to song are seamless, the mash-ups and remixes are top notch and the overall flow and feel is energetic and entertaining all throughout.  it’s quite good.
