Rihanna – Where Have You Been (Jr Blender Remix)

rihanna1531680x1050

As a popular song gets remixed over and over again it’s proportionately more difficult to find good remixes, remakes or edits of the original. And just when I thought I had heard quite possibly every single Where Have You Been remix, Mr ShaveUrLegz himself lets me know that his favorite WHYB remix is one by Jr Blender. I think it’s over a year old and I hadn’t managed to get a listen a it.

Now, what happened the first I hit play was something I was not expecting. From the solo striking of those steel pans and through that melodic distorted synth under Rihanna’s slowed down vocals this remix is a tropical paradise. And if it all doesn’t sound good enough up until now, wait until you listen to the chorus part. It just sounds so right, meant to be and full of teleportation energy. It’s impossible not to fly in our minds to a tropical paradise over this song’s bridge.

So, please let me invite you on this musical journey to a place where Mai Tais and Bloody Caesars are de rigueur hand accessories. And when someone asks you where have you been, you’ll be able to tell this wonderful story of how for just 3 minutes and 40 seconds you escaped to this magical place called The World of Jr Blender.

Museum Of Bellas Artes – Days Ahead

LA was nothing short of a dream, great times, food, weather and good people but it sure is nice to be back in the big apple. As many of you know EMPT has been a relatively small operation and though we’ve been able to do some great things a big issue has been where to go from here. For some people it’s as simple as finding investors and reworking things to run as a business. For me it’s a lot harder because my loyalty is to the music and doing anything that would compromise our vibe is just out of the question. At the same time, my dream is to take music entertainment to a whole new level so I have to surround myself with a team looking to do that same. You can’t win a championship without having all the right teammates so I went to LA with that in mind and I’m excited to come back to NYC with what I think is a monumental partnership for the future of EMPT.

The new single by Museum of Bella Artes couldn’t be more appropriate for the occasion. We’ve made some great memories so far and I thank each and everyone of you for coming to our dance parties, checking out the site everyday and sending us so much love. The past has been beautiful but right now it’s all about the Days Ahead baby!

So here’s a toast to all we’ve done and everyone that’s helped us get to this point. Our commitment is to you and we’ll keep doing our best to give you an unrivaled experience by putting quality above it all. You’ll be hearing more and more about my new friends as things develop so expect some cool things in the not too distant future, enjoy.

Tthhee Ppaarrttyy, Vol. 2

Update:

Our CMJ event was a complete success and we’d like to thank everyone that came out and partied. Swagger New York was in full effect, Forthebeat was rockin’ it and all the bands absolutely killed it. Unfortunately, I never learned how to half celebrate so every time we have a party I’m completely shut down for at least 24 hours but I’m feeling better no so let’s get back to the music!

_____________

You woke up this morning with a feeling in your stomach like you just met the love of your life and you’re not sure if he/she is digging you as much as you’re digging him/her. The only problem is you fell asleep at 9:30 last night watching Friends re-runs, how could you possibly be in love? I know, I know.

But you ain’t in love fool! It’s just October 21st and your body is having that chemical reaction because it remembers today is the day F o r t h e b e a t and Et Musique Pour Tous are throwing our CMJ Party for ABC News Amplified! It’s about as close to falling in love as you can get, trust me, I know. Tonight’s starting line-up includes Phantogram, X-Wife, Electric Tickle Machine, Sleigh Bells and We Have Band so get your ass down to Brooklyn and join the fun.

EMPT will be there in full effect, we’ll be there mostly cold chillin’ but we’re also giving away a special version of the Forthebeat CMJ Mixtape cut and mixed by DJ Nick Low-Beer aka 81 Nuetronz – fresh. We may also have some tricks up our sleeve so come check us out and meet the people that make this website pop. See you there.
