0678 - Welcome Back, I've Missed You All

I'm hoping this is the start of more daily updates.  My life has been absolutely insane lately with my job search living situation, and life is just chaotic.  But I realized I wasn't giving myself time to relax, and writing these posts has always been one of my favorite parts of the day. So lets get thing goin again.

Faded by Alan Walker is one of my favorite songs, Period.  Now, finally, everyone is getting their hands on it for the official remixes.  One of my favorites is Tiesto's Deep House remix.  Right from the beginning I could tell I would love this.  The intro was so smooth and just went perfectly into the main sequence.  Smooth, beautiful, and my favorite remix (but still behind the original and the restrung version).
I've said many times how much I respect people that can play music live using beatpads, the memorization and coordination is incredible.  I love watching people play on them and I feel the music they produce has so much more power because you aren't just watching someone push play.  This mix is from Nev highlighting some 250 songs from the Youtube channel MrSuicideSheep.  It is incredible, enjoy!

0663 - Get Some Rap, Then Get It Live

Good rap mixed with great backtrack can be really incredible, and I hate modern rap so finding a rap song that really resonates with me is fairly hard to do if it was made after 2010.  This one is superb, Mighty and High by Can't Stop Won't Stop.  The flow is absolutely incredible, and the lyrics fit the track really well.  Overall a very well put together and classic feeling rap track, give it a listen and I hope you like it!
I love seeing electronic music performed live, so seeing someone like Madeon and Chromeo live was a mind blowing and life changing way to look at music.  So seeing Haywyre perform his track Endlessly live really switched my perspective on the artist.  Give it a listen, and let his beautiful piano work take you away to another plane.

0395 - Coming To You Live

Happy Monday!  Hope everyone had a great weekend!  This week I have some stuff I am really excited to share with you!  For those who haven't noticed, I have deactivated my Facebook again.  I just decided that Facebook was not constructive to my mental well-being, so this break is likely more permenant.  Although I am toying with the idea of making a DJ page instead of an actual profile.  OH WELL, enough about me, it's all about the music!

Today's track comes from Archie, a groovy electro house track that has so much positive energy that it infects you with good vibes.  Seriously this track caught my attention and I have listened to it a few times a day, trying to decide where it fits in my schedule.  Funk is the best, as I have said before, and this one just goes to show that not all funk has to be straight Funk, Progressive Funk, or House Funk.  FUNK IS UNIVERSAL!

Also a really cool liver performance for you today from Haywyre.  These days, it seems so rare to see live performances of electronic music.  The culture has moved to a press play culture.  Thats why I am always so glad to see live stuff like beatpad tracks, live performances, or live mashups.  This one is seriously slick as they come and just seeing it performed live adds a whole new spin to the power and creativity it took to make the track.  Give it a listen and WATCH THE VIDEO.  Seriously, it makes the track that much better.

Archie - Main Street

Hywyre - Insight

0386 - Beatpad Beauty

One of my favorite and likely pivotal tracks in my interest in electronic music was Madeon's live beatpad mashups.  Since then I love finding new ones because the precision, timing, and dexterity are just amazingly impressive in my book.  This one comes from Exige using two beatpads, synched with some pretty cool trigger lights to boot.  Give it a watch and a listen and enjoy!

011- Bang Bang 3LAU

Welcome back everyone! I hope that you had an excellent weekend! Monday is humpday and is especially tough, even over the summer, so today I bring you something with a little extra umph. 3LAU (pronounced Blau) is one of the top tier mashup artists, making unique things that would blow you out of the water. This is one of his longer sets, totaling about 30 min and is full of non-stop beats, awesome drops, and never before contemplated mashups. Enjoy!
