0655 - Happy and Outta Control

Back in the normal swing and feeling good, we start off another wonderful week of music!  Let's kick things off with an amazingly funky track from RetroVision called Happy Hour!  This track has the feel good vibes, the wonderful beauty, mixed with a little dash of 8-bit, and a plentyful helping of groove.  Also up today is a strange compilation track featuring.....Sean Paul and Yolanda Be Cool?  This track is catchy as fuck and has a great groove to it but I can not understand a word of the vocals.  The beat is typical Yolanda Be Cool, and I am so glad to see them back making new music!  Let me know what you think of this one because I honestly don't know what I think about it overall!

0125 - The Funkmass Cheer

Funky Friday is here at long last once again.  God damn if this isn't my favorite day to share music.  The reason that this one is coming in so late is because I have been at the house of my good friend DJ XMFD mixing and getting tips for just about everything and anything when it comes to mixing music.  But i could never forget you, so here is your daily dose of music for the day!

This track feels very "speak easy", "bootlegger", and old timey, and I think a modern sounding version of this one would feel boring.  The addition of horns and instrumental interludes really sold me on this one and it has been sitting in my playlist just waiting for you.  Ya know, now that I listed to it while writing this post it reminds me a lot of the movie Aladin as well....Throw this remix by Gramophonedzie on and dance into the weekend because everyone deserves this time off before the holidays.

0108/0109 - So I'm an Idiot

So I hope everyone had a excellent thanksgiving, I spent most of it in Ann Arbor Michigan with my mom's side of the family.  Sadly the internet wasn't great and I decided to spend it with my family, hence the lack of posts  However, I am also a big idiot.  While I was home for all of 24hrs in Cleveland, I decided I would work on my mix.  I set everything up, worked for about 3 hours at 2am.  Then I got up the next morning, went to lunch with my little cousins, and left for Columbus...3 guesses and the first 2 don't count, where did I leave my mixer?  On my bed...in Cleveland.  Thankfully the mix is all set up, cues are done and all that jazz, and I have a rough recording, just not one that is up to the standard I want it to be.  So, unless my parents come down to visit a day (which they are talking about doing), this mix may be a christmas present from me to you.

Well its time once again to play catch up (and I promise you this will likely happen over new years too, because I am going somewhere for a week with no internet, cell service, connection to the outside world).  So here are 2 tracks to get back on track.  The first is a funky upbeat dance track from Kappa and Drahosh called All Good.  Its upbeat and makes you want to dance, kind of a more moomba version of electro swing, its hard to explain, you just have to hear it!

Kappa & Drahosh - All Good

The second track is a DnB track from Rameses B.  Rameses is easily my favorite DnB artist from Monstercat, always producing something special.  These tracks always have a lot of buzz to them and always end up in my favorites list or top played in iTunes.  The beginning starts off very reminiscent of hte opening track from Kingdom Hearts, and maybe that is what drew me to this song.  Then it starts to evolve and kicks off with some stellar vocals from Veela, who also did the song Bloodlip for monstercat, one of my favorites off this label of all time.  Give it a listen and enjoy!

060 - A Funky Way to the Weekend

Funky music is the best, it just makes you want to get up and dance (even if you have no moves, its ok, I don't have any either).  In honor of the milestone this week, I decided to share one of my favorite funky/swing tracks.  If you have ever heard of Goldfish, you know the kind of music that just gets something moving through your veins that cant really be explained.  Its just a rush of good feelings, happiness, and a desire to do something, anything!  This track is called One Million Views and is truly one of my favorite songs of this genre, also the video is pretty funny!  Also it bashes just about every big/mainstream electronic artist (Deadmau5, Skrillex, Steve Aoki, Daft Punk, and countless more).  Enjoy it everyone, and I will see you back here on Monday!  Have a great weekend, and don't do anything I wouldn't do (which means do whatever the hell you want).
