0358 - One More Day Til We Shake The Earth

I'm sorry this week's posts have been so short everyone, in a mixture of being insanely busy and sick yesterday I seem to have about 30 minutes every day.  I will start doing them the night before so that I can have better conversations about the music that i post instead of having to rush it every day in the few free minutes I have every day.

Today I have 2 very smooth track for you.  One original from Elephante, the first original I have heard from him, and a second from Gregory Esayan.  The Gregory Esayan track Titled Monday Night is very smooth and relaxing, with great tonality and an extremely quality flow.  Overall an extremely relaxing track with very futuristic sounds.

Second up is the first original track that I have heard from Elephante, an artist whose remixes I have been obsessed with over the last few weeks.  It has the signature Elephante sound, one that I have really grown to enjoy and it is worth picking up the free download.  Sadly that is all I have time for as I have to run and finish out this 13 hour work day.  Have a great day everyone, and I will see you tomorrow with a much more conversational post tomorrow!

0357 - Get Down With My Sickness

Sorry everyone, this short post comes between Nyquill naps.  Sick with something I hope is only a cold.
One Banger for you today, a remix of a song I have really liked for some time, Virtual Riot's We're Not Alone.  Syntact does a really good job of maintaining and bringing in really beautiful melodic parts while building back into the heavy hitting sections with a few glitchy sections as well.  Pick it up for free!

0356 - Dont be a F.O.O.L.

Today is quick again, sorry guys these 14 hour work days leave me pretty exhausted and pooped with very little time to make these posts, but those crazy work days are done this week!  Praise jebus.

Today's post features F.O.O.L., an artists I haven't features since post 029, but this one deserves to be posted!  A silky smooth song with great tonality that gets stuck in your head, along with bass that is actually pitched and provides a great background for this track.  Soft in the right spots, hitting heavy in the best spots, don't miss this one!

Also from F.O.O.L. is the track Keep On Rocking, another smooth electro song that features a very beautiful build of the same style of Throne, but this one a vocal sample that drops big into the heavy part of the song.  The intro of little pump up lyrics have been big lately, and honestly helping my transition from lyrically obsessed into focussing more on the actual track.  The tonality of this one reminds me a bit of Starcadian, and I like that a lot!

0355 - 6 Month Rewind

Missing the Summer?  The snow is here and its going nowhere.  As much as I love winter I know its not the most popular season so today's track is designed to help you go back to that state of mind.

Majestic gets his hands on the original track Changing by Sigma, who artists I really know very little about.  However the remix is extremely smooth and though it seems a little sped up, overall it has incredible flow with the lyrics.  I would love to see this with like half the vocals, but you have to take what you can get.  A great feeling of summer and may help to warm up your snowy and cold day (at least it is in Ohio).

0354 - Speedy Quick Friday

This one is gonna be fast guys, I am literally on my way out the door to visit my sister.

First up is a smooth and sweet track from Generdyn called Youthful and the name is very fitting.  Its very energetic and has a lot of tonality.  It feels very fun and has the perfect mix of funk and electro mixed in!

Second track for today is a very relaxing track with lyrics reminiscent of Dave Matthews Band who I am not usually a fan of, but the vocal tone really compliments the chose rhythms and tones.  Overall a very smooth funk track that is work listening to, and a sweet guitar solo doesn't hurt either.

0353 - Beautiful Fallout

Today is all about beauty in music.  It may not be heavy and in your face but good lord is it absolutely amazing.  In the past I've called it background music, and its usually what I listen to while working or at home while trying to relax and collect myself.  The first is called Flora from Rocket Science and it just inspires such a feeling of peace and tranquility.  It also helps that the silloutte of Calvin and Hobbes is in the video for this song, just taking me back to my childhood and loving every second of it.  Kick up your feet, close your eyes, and let this track take you away.

Last Island has been on my radar ever since their remix of Porter Robinson's Fresh Static Snow (Find it here Post #0333) and this original that they bring to the table is really something special.  The Next really features some great tonality, kinda reminding me of an old 90s computer game like Midnight Rescue or something like that in space (I can't remember the game but it had talking stars) and really flows well.  Give it a listen!

Last track for today is a really beautiful and calming drum and bass track (I know those words are usually contradictory but.............stay with me, I promise this works).  Its great and driving but still maintains the usual chill themes, and catches you by surprise.  Usually DnB means in your face but this one just meshes the two genres together so incredibly well that it is up there in my favorites for chill tracks this month.  Feint, who usually is on Monstercat and known for his heavy hitters, really changes the game and perspective with this one.

0352 - Do You Feel The Need?

Today's post features a banger off of Tut Tut Child's new EP called Ask Your Friends First.  The track is called Hot Pursuit and I really enjoyed listening to it.  Its got great flow and little jumps of both dubstep elements and melodic house elements.  Tut Tut Child is one of the Monstercat artists that I fell in love with from the first song I heard off one of the compilation albums.  This one was a little more than I expected, but hey, you won't catch me complaining about that!
