Season 2 will start slowly with 2 posts a week (4 songs total)! No tags for guaranteed kinds of music each day, but hopefully we'll get a nice variety!
Two Can really delivers with this unique track called Eclipse. Not only did I think the player was broken during the playing of this song but i had to check back multiple times. Thats how the song is supposed to sound though and it really gives it a unique and different feel. Its out of place but in a really relaxing way that changes your view on chill music and the potential that it has as big genre.
Also up today we have someone brand new on my radar named J-Kraken. This song really blew me away, usually with chill stuff you get a lot of the same but today is all about chill tracks that give a whole new set of expectations to the genre. This one has such a unique and smooth feel to it that all I want to do is lie next to someone on the beach with a cold beer and feel the sun on my skin and the water on my toes. Ive made it a happen of falling asleep to music lately, and this one is so peaceful that its for sure on my playlist for tonight. Let me know what you think of this one!
TODAY IS monday. ew.
Well back to the grind that is adult life and into the great 730-5 work day. But Monday also means its music time again and I am very ok with that!
Today I have two Elephante Remixes and an amazing mix from a good friend of mine.
Both songs today are remixes from Elephante, who I have been obsessed with ever since his wildly successful remix of Clean Bandit and Lemaitre. The first is one that I have been listening to for some time and was surprised when I found that I had not put it up on this group yet! Galantis has been on my radar this year and just hearing Elephante get his hands on work that is so amazing by itself blew me away. Great vocal build and amazing drop that has me humming it nearly every day since I heard it. Also from Elephante from today is a great remix of a Penguin Prison track, who I have liked ever since I heard their first chill song Worse It Gets. Overall, Elephante puts a funky remix on it and gives it a new light. Its beautiful and I hope you all enjoy this new artist as much as I do! Pick up the Free Downloads as well!
Also up for today is an hour long mix from my friend Retox, and it is pretty fucking rad. The first volume of MDMAzing was great but this one was just what I needed to get through the rough 50+ hour work week ahead. It's smooth and suave and has great tracks I had never heard of before, for sure worth checking out! Show Retox some love!
First up today on this much needed friday is a track from Lazer Lazer Lazer and Helix High called Mr. CrackSpider. It takes samples from that youtube video about what happens when you give spiders different drugs and the kinds of webs they weave. Its very dark and I honestly wish I had it for my Halloween week posts. Oh well, it is still very cool and very bizarre but for sure worth checking out!
Second up is a Free Halloween Bootleg Remix album from Whiiite featuring redone versions of both old and new classic Halloween tracks. Everything from Thriller to The Walking Dead Theme to Jaws. Since I can't share the entire pack here, THOUGH ITS FREE AND AWESOME, I will share my favorite. They put the Legendary track Thriller in the hands of one of my favorites, James Egbert. Its different but still has that classic feel to it. Give it a listen and check out the rest of the free album!
Mr. CrackSpider - Lazer Lazer Lazer and Helix High
So I have some big hour long sets for you today that have been simultaneously blowing my mind over the past two days.
First up is the long awaited hour long halloween mix from RL Grime. Mixing over everything from Rap to Trap, this mix is something I look forward to ever year. This year's installment is pretty good, and I wish I had it for halloween but better late then never I guess. Give it a listen and give it a chance from start to finish!
Second up is an hour mix going in the completely opposite direction. This one is an extremely chilled out mix of Odesza's favorite songs. Its all stuff I had never heard before this mix, but I played it while I was working yesterday and it did a wonder on bringing me back into the peaceful world after a long day. Let me know which hour you like more!
Welcome to the start of month 2 in the new series I am starting. The chill relaxing month seemed to go really well so I am very excited to announce November's category, Drum and Bass. I figure we should go a completely opposite direction from the last one in order to try a new experience. So how this goes is I will list my top 5 from this category and keep it pinned to the Facebook page (Facebook group is here) and I want all of you to either make your own lists on that link or just comment with a great song that fits into the Drum and Bass category! Lets get to the list
5. Noisia - The Tide
Dark, creepy, and just overall intense, The Tide freaks me out in a good way. This one is really crazy, especially with the really long intro that features one of the creepiest voices that I have ever heard on a track. Its fast, intense, and very in your face. Overall a great track though!
4. Day One - White City
Ever since I heard this one it has been near the top of my list. Its just a very feel good song with great deep vocals and excellent tonality throughout the entire song.
3. Tristam & Braken - Frame of Mind
I absolutely love this track. It just struck me from the beginning. It has stelar vocals, playing into the fast paced rhythms and mixing together extremely well. This one just always makes me feel really good too, like it is inspiring change.
2. Fox Stevenson - All This Time
This song has had my attention since the first time I heard of Fox Stevenson earlier this year. He has such a great way with molding tracks to be exactly unique to his own sound and I have since fallen a bit obsessed with his every release.
1. Pendulum - The Island Part 1 and 2
Pendulum was one of my first heavy electronic music influences. It takes me back to high school, sitting in my friend David's basement surrounded by hookah, magic the gathering, pool, and video games while listening to this album. Part 1 is very energetic and melodic and then Part 2 comes in and turns everything on its head in a completely creative and unexpected way. This is still my favorite track after all these years mostly because of the sheer amazing construction of the duo, and also because it throws me back to a time where friends and good music were prevalent nearly every weekend.
Welcome to a Melbourne Bounce day! Full of wubs and and high energy, both of these tracks will leave you wanting more. Now to be fair, this is a genre I have always had a little trouble getting into. A lot of the songs are either too simplistic, have no tonal qualities, or all sound the same. However, in the past few weeks 2 tracks have caught my eye.....ear? I LIKE THEM, THATS ALL THAT MATTERS.
The first is from Toby Green and is called Bolt. It has an amazing level of excitement, one for sure that I could see in a chase scene in a movie. It keeps great tonality while still maintaining the elements of Melbourne Bounce! Give it a listen and let me know if you like this one!
Something I have really been taking notice lately that very few people do is give tonality to their bass lines. It makes the song more dynamic and gives it more layers to analyze while listening to it. This Aidan Dao called Cosmic really is a smooth track that doesn't feel as in your face as a lot of Melbourne Bounce usually does. I like this one a lot and smooth tracks like this are what are brining me back around to the graces of the genre.
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I got to see Alesso, Art, A-track, and Zeds Dead. Arty and Alesso out played the other 2 so well, and it was really a blast to see them live.
Today I would like to talk about something and then share a little music. It's funny how an idea can evolve into something so amazing, it may just be something clever you do to pass the time when your wife/girlfriend/parents aren't home. But if it is unique enough it can expand and grow until it takes over and becomes a sensation. I am talking of course about this video:
This of course get popular because how the hell could it not? A dad in a suit jacket and sunglasses playing the trombone and his son in Pajamas and sunglasses banging the oven door closed to provide the bass, its the kind of thing a mom would put both guys in the doghouse for. As catchy as the song it, the video helps to make it just from the kids reactions during and at the end of the clip. This was clearly made to entertain these two guys and maybe piss off mom a little bit. However, it turned into an internet sensation (and may or may not be my ringtone right now) spawning full version songs to be created like these two. Overall I know it may just be an internet fad, but holy shit does it make me laugh and pee my pants every time the original clip ends and the kid throws his head up.
