Kitsuné, a record label and clothing brand out of Paris, has been building quite a force of artists including the likes of Two Door Cinema Club and Is Tropical. Citizens! debuted late last year with True Romance and its hard-hitting sentimentality. The song begins with a few simple piano chords that usher in a myriad of instruments that [...]
It’s a god-sent beautiful day in this tropical island of the Dominican Republic and also god-sent was the way this tune came up as the first song I heard today upon hitting play on my iTunes. Being born and raised in this island made me somewhat immune to the gifts it came with. I guess [...]
Once upon a time, it was 1983 and disco was nearly dead. After a heyday in the mid to late ’70s, all the haters got together and hosted Disco Demolition Night in Chicago, cited as “the day disco died.” Disco was the music of experience, of letting go, and, let’s face it, freedom. People didn’t [...]
I have never written about Gigamesh, but I’m certainly no stranger to the fact that he is an EMPT favorite. I’ve come to love his musical work because of the unique sound he seems to possess while playing with tones reminiscent of the ’80s but modern all at once. I should probably mention that any song with [...]
Punks Jump Up, Dave 1 & Gigamesh on one track, f$#k. It’s been a few years since we first featured Gigamesh and from day one the kid from Minneapolis has been on fire. The Posner camp would probably hate to admit it at this point but the Gigamesh version of Cooler Than Me is in my opinion [...]
Jenny said when she was just five years old There was nothin’ happenin’ at all Every time she puts on a radio There was nothin’ goin’ down at all, Not at all… That’s exactly how I felt this morning and that’s pretty much how I’ve been feeling for the last year or so. It’s not that [...]
As many of you know last night we were live @ Santos Party House in NYC with the French taste makers Kitsuné. Thanks to everyone that made it out, we look to do much more like that in the near future in both NYC and LA so stay tuned… This morning I got an email from [...]
So we’ve been taking meeting after meeting lately and it’s been a little weird to say the least because every sit down is like a clash of values. Here we are telling the owners how our parties are about unadulterated fun, how meticulous we are about playing good music and it’s like talking to a [...]
Want to know how to get a party started in 54 seconds? Play the intro for this remix and then turn the volume up really really loud when the beat drops – satisfaction guaranteed. Do you like bass?” I’m still suffering from post L.A. trauma and all I can think about while listening to this [...]
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 [...]
