Mos Def – Ms. Fat Booty (Louis Futon Remix)

Monday, March 10, 2014

What I love about hip-hop is its ability to straddle and pull from many different genres and backgrounds to create a greater message. The original track from Mos Def took samples from Aretha Franklin and formed a track that has remained a staple of hip-hop for over a decade. This remix adds in jazz and […]

Phantogram — Black Out Days

Saturday, March 8, 2014

Hide the sun I will leave your face out of my mind.” Some music is made to be listened to loudly at clubs. Other music is made to be listened to at your local cafe in Paris as you read your latest book, or pen your latest work. Some music is curated to make you […]

Daughter – Youth (Alle Farben Remix)

Thursday, March 6, 2014

“And if you’re still bleeding, you’re the lucky ones. ‘Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone. We’re setting fire to our insides for fun. Collecting pictures from the flood that wrecked our home, It was a flood that wrecked this home.” This song. The lyrics. I recently read in article […]

Junior Boys – So This Is Goodbye

Tuesday, March 4, 2014

In an era of overnight celebrity, we tend to take the difficult road for granted. It’s easy to listen to a track on Spotify and never know who the artist is, let alone their story. How many nights did they sleep in a dingy van, schlepping from town to town, trying to make ends meet […]

Seinabo Sey – Younger

Monday, March 3, 2014

I love songs that ask questions and linger in my head. It’s only fitting that this song found its way to my ears at the end of one week and beginning of another — literally. It’s one in the morning, the freshness of a new week on my horizon, yet last week lingers over my […]

Kings of Convenience – I Don’t Know What I Can Save You From (Röyksopp Remix)

Thursday, February 27, 2014

Every so often, a song comes along that lodges itself not only in your ear, but in your mind. You relate to it, but aren’t sure why. Is it the wistful lyricism, or the hollow acoustics reminiscent of grandfather’s guitar? The puckering bass line, tripping through a bath of whirring starsplashes…it becomes the soundtrack your […]

Gorgon City – Ready For Your Love Feat. MNEK (Florian Paetzold Remix)

Wednesday, February 26, 2014

It is not a typical situation and declaring the moment takes as much guts as the act of letting someone in when we’re most vulnerable. No one’s ready to jump on love. At least not me. I first heard Gorgon City’s original when it came out upon seeing MNEK on the track’s title. I dug […]
