S2 #2: There's so much more to Adam Young (Owl City) than Fireflies

 Let's change things up a little bit and give some music that might be a bit different from past postings!  While this was dedicated to electronic music before, I'm going to switch things up a little bit!  I'd rather talk about all music and showcase some unique styles!  One of my favorite guilty pleasure artists is Owl City.  His music style, his beautiful lyrics, his protection of his mental health, all of these make him so much bigger then just his hit song Fireflies.  

Ready to Fly is a beautiful mashup of Didrick's wonderful fantasy musical style and Adam's beautiful vocals.  This one does ramp up and take more of a breakdown style drop that I think fits the style really well!

I'm also going to throw in one of my favorite songs off Owl City's newest album, Cocoa Moon. Under the Circus Lights paints such a beautiful picture of childhood wonder and those first early infatuations (no matter if it is calling, mission, or person).  One of my favorites with gorgeous background sounds and great additions through little bites!  Enjoy!

Today, the Mashup day long forgotten makes its return with two, one that is usually completely out of my wheelhouse.  As many of you know, Monstercat Music has been high on my list of favorites for some time.  They are actually celebrating their 3 year anniversary and got Didrick to do a live compilation remix of the best songs from their biggest tracks.  Featuring 78 songs and live music from beatpads to trumpets to guitar solos, this mashup is one of the best I have heard in a damn long time.  Celebrate their success and give this mashup a listen!  Bonus points for identifying songs!

Next up is a really cool mashup that is completely out of my wheelhouse.  This day used to be about mashups as a whole, not particular to electronic music.  I found a really cool one yesterday that takes 23 amatuer videos from youtube and mashes them up into a much better track.  Everything from a sick trombone to a little girl playing the piano, this video turns individual acts into a unique combination!  Listen for yourself!

0262 - Part of Being Sleepless

Two awesome tracks for you today.  The first track is the first single from Swedish producer Didrick, and wow does it show a whole lot of potential.  Great vocals mixed flawlessly in with great tonality and melody.  Not to mention the key change, that was unexpected and awesome.  I loved this song from the first time I heard it and I hope you all love it too!

Second up is a remix of one of my favorite songs right now, Sleepless by Cazzette.  Oliver Nelson got his hands on the original and made a few tweaks to give the song a really cool and deep house vibe.  Not as good as the original in my opinion, but still an extremely solid remix and worth checking out!
