Am I the only one that finds this song a little strage? I mean it’s pretty clear the song is about the sad story of a teenager so deeply involved with drugs that he has no friends, is willing to try anything and ends up overdosing. The instrumentation and vocal performance however, have that hopeful [...]
This Smooth Jazz 101 inspired track is nothinig short of amazing. The chord progression is as cheesy as it gets but somehow still manages to have the feeling of something you would want to hear at a cool after hours joint. This track is completely out of place in their album, which makes it that [...]
Stephan, Don Diablo’s manager sent me this in the AM… I’m just going to post his email, I can’t disagree.
“Don Diablo delivers this week’s hottest record with his remix for One eskimO’s “Givin’ Up”, which is taken from their forthcoming album “All Balloons”. Don Diablo takes the original song to another level with added strings, [...]
Collectively known as The Twelves, Brazilian electro-house João Miguel and Luciano Oliveira have become one of the most sought out duos in the industry. Their production decisions are right up there with the best, often opting for the simple and groove heavy instead of the common overproduction and clutter. Some blogs who shall remain nameless [...]
I started binging on Youth Novels again and with that comes all the amazing remixes the album has inspired. Perhaps the most remixed track from the album is Little Bit, I can think of about 8 off the top. From what I gather this song is about a “friends with benefits” type of relationship that [...]
In her usual fashion, Steph Lund sent me this amazing song a few weeks ago but I’ve been so busy that I never got around to posting/listening to it. This song truly is something else, bliss is pretty much the only word I can use to describe it. I’m off to Nantucket for the weekend so [...]
The pop/punk blend is a feeling I really can never get enough of, at least when it’s done right. Pete & The Pirates are a band from Reading, England, they formed in 2005 and have since released two official EPs. Their sound is a mix of 80s post punk and 90’s American indie rock, fresh. [...]
These guys sampled the drums from “Be My Baby,” one of my favorite 60’s songs performed by The Shangri-Las and produced by one of my musical heroes, the pop mastermind Phil Spector. At face value, this song is about the thrill being gone, the end, going from liking someone to indifference. The callous overtone may turn [...]
Just got reminded of this song by Sean Mattison, the man everyone should be following on Twitter. I remember hearing the original a while back but never really kept it in rotation, this remix may change that. It was produced by Marc Ronson, notice the trademark brass arrangements and funky break beat. Wale, with the [...]
The difference a little diversity makes is immediately evident for Friendly Fires. Quite what has held back the milieu of meandering morons that make up the music scenes mid range, mid class, middlemen is probably this intelligent and creative leap; crossing genres and keeping your opus open and fresh.”

Big on the Friendly Fires, [...]
Damn Aussies know what their doing when it comes to the electro/synth-pop thing. Been meaning to blog about these guys for some time but never got around to it. I saw them open up for Justice back in ‘07 when the whole indie rock to dance transformation was starting to take flight and they certainly [...]
In typical Kelley Polar form, this song is extremely weird, creepy and confusing but as interesting and addictive as they come. Given title “Chrysanthemum” (mushroom cloud analogy) and lyrics (”Two atoms kiss and what a funny valentine”) I think this song is about a nuclear attack on humanity, tragic. The chorus is nothing short of [...]
Just got an email from the good folks over at NBC informing us that Lykke Li will be performing on Last Call With Carson Daly tonight. I’m not quite the noctambule I am during party season but I’m certainly staying up to watch this. In the mean time it looks like I’ve found an excuse to [...]
New mixtape from J. Period & Q-Tip. The production quality of old school Tribe is unmatched in the laptop producer age, it’s very refreshing to hear some good old analog in the space age. Download the mixtape here.
Ayo a few new stations put me in rotation.
They’ve embraced the martian, congratulations.”
Kid Cudi & Consquence – Buggin Out [...]
Anyone know what car that is? I’ve been looking for an excuse to post this picture and Mirando is more than a reasonable one. The production on this track is technical mastery. 8 Bit bounce anyone? Enjoy.
