eclectic imperative

2008-07-01T07:41:00.000-07:00

So yesterday matt and I were chattin about music per ushe and he mentioned the new Dr. Dog album, Fate, saying if I wasn't only listening to electronic music I should check it out. Check it out I did and I really really like it. The point of the story is I always have tried to stay eclectic and just support music that I liked, not a certain scene or genre. Lately the scene that happens to intrigue me most is on the techno side of things. And in an effort to keep you guys eclectic, here is a real smooth jam. This would be considered gangsta house maybe, not so good with all the genres still. Anyways, this is a track from a Loco Dice, but the part that I really like is the production which is mainly done by Martin Buttrich (this dude is the man, but honestly if I had a name like Buttrich, I would keep that to myself), check it out:

Loco Dice "Pimp Jackson is Talking Now!!!"

Here is another take on that Robyn song, very very different from what CB posted, not even sure which one I like more, but this one is definitely more progressive and I like finding new kinds of music so....

Robyn "Who's that Girl" (Drop the Lime remix)

and before Drop the Lime gets a bad name in our crew, check this one out, it is under his other alias Curses! I think you will all like it.

So today I did almost nothing but I did manage to spend the afternoon getting 200some new beats to send your guys' ways; plus I read about the daft punk dynasty and how they own all of france (or at least the part I care about, the electro part). Basically Daft Punk--Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo--were playing punk before they got "dafted" with this other dude Led Brancowitz. Thomas and Guy decided they wanted to play with electronic music and make house beats and Led didn't feel the same. Led went on to be Pheonix, go figure. Thomas started his own record label, Roule, with one other dude. They signed Alan Braxe, Romanthony (who provides a lot of the Daft Punk vocal samples) and Dj Falcon. The other dude left that label in due time and formed Kitsune, who are now the french god label next to Ed Banger records who were formed by Pedro Winter (Busy P) who back at the start of it all was one of Daft Punk's managers. During all this role changing Thomas formed Stardust with Benjamin Diamond and Alan Braxe and Guy formed Le Knight Club with this dude Eric. I know that I have heard all of these guys' music and love a lot of it, so I imagine most of you know their songs. Except of course that last group Le Knight Club, I hadn't heard anything by them ever, until this afternoon. It isn't amazing or anything but I think it is cool to look back at one of the first Daft Punk remixes, fittingly made by half of the group itself. These guys and their friends obviously know something we don't, or maybe they were just lucky. What if someone wrote a post like this 10 years from now about us?

Check this Le Knight Club "technologic" remix provided by Le Touch blog, a dope mexican blog that provided all that info as well:

and then something completely unrelated...because it is one of my favorite hip hop songs of all time, because hot chip remixes on a lazy day are great and because it has been remixed a little bit lately--random--here it is:

here's a good one for a bike ride, remixed by the dude--bumblebeez, who crookers have remixed and ed rec worked out with their tune "pump up the bass"--who produces the band in the first place (is that really a remix people?)
I think the original is prolly dope, but this one pumps it up, a big drawn out steamer.

why I am going to europe after college

2008-06-23T17:06:00.000-07:00

Why? Because then I can go to the sonar festival in Barcelona with a fuckin hot Brazilian girlfriend who hangs out with guys like Richie Hawtin and Marco Carola (big deal djs) and gets me backstage at a bunch of dope shows at festivals where girls throw themselves at djs and all kinds of drugs are passed around like demos. Most importantly because then I can go to a beach party and end up hangin with Claude VonStroke and Christian Martin!!!! And Claude can yell at me "This shit is the big dirty bomb man!"
That my friends, is the life that my English buddy Tom lives. I don't think I have ever been this jealous of someone. He said that Claude is a lot like me! I can only hope. Anyways, to celebrate his good fortune and me finishing what is probably the most complicated research paper I have ever done here are some fun beatz:

First up I am linking a mix Tom and Jack's (Jack is another english/techno buddy) buddy made, it is really good, if you can't handle the first part skip to like the 45 min mark, it gets real wild after that:

And finally a new track I have been listening to a lot lately, from the kitsune clan, David E Sugar is one of the better things I have heard in a while, I haven't heard a track of his that isn't innovative as hell, but still accessible, enjoy:

Suspicions

2008-06-22T19:39:00.001-07:00

Everybody has their suspicions and "coincidences" and such but lately I feel bathed in 'em. Weird shit just keeps going down. Last night I smoked up a party of about 20 or so and one guy said to me "man, you are running this party" and I decided to respond "the silent man is the suspicious man" so that is not really a case of weird shit happening to me, but just me being weird. All the same I have been great lately in a lot of ways. I can't believe I have spent a year in BA and now I am just leaving, feels silly.
I am calling next year the best year of my life so far, fyi. And thats no easy feat, this year down here and last year on hoyt were both dope as fuck.

all I am saying is expect the strange, live the dream and don't answer questions how people want you to.

now, here is a track that is a little suspect, suspiciously good!! (spoiler alert: this is a builder, don't listen unless you can commit, little bitch) This is a track by Miles Dyson, this guy is weird in real life I bet, his music is borderline experimental but definitely could fall under many of the ________house genres (prolly closest to tech house, but this track is a house house track). Hope you like it.

This fidgit stuff is so good for partying, its just adictive. This is a crew I have been watching for a little while now. Heavyfeet is two dudes and sometimes they roll with an MC (Mike and James from Manchester, United Kingdom). They are with the same label as Crookers (Potty Mouth Music) and seem to be all about mixing up ghetto tech, dance and fidgit house styles, which happen to be my three favorite party genres. Anyways, this is a fun track and talks about summer so....

Hip hop and I have always had a weird relationship. Mainly based out of loyalty to my childhood or early teenage years--I listened to Big L, Guru and Styles P in 7th grade--, I have always tried to keep up on whats going on. To be honest I don't think much has gone on since the nineties that is worth shouting about, but now and again I will be pleasantly surprised by both commercial and underground hip hop--Cool Kids, Clipse, Prolyphic, Cadence Weapon. Yesterday I found this track by T.I. that is either coming out soon or already out (it was an old post) but it caught my ear because it sounds like they took a lesson from Ratatat on the production (something a lot of people are doing lately I think) and the lyrics are actually pretty tight.

Way to go Petes! I really like Konrad, he has a dope remix/original (one of those songs that the artists names after the track he is remixing but still keeps himself as the original artist) of Sweet Dreams. I was gonna put it up, but I am still figuring all of this out and I can't find every single song in my itunes library in my itunes music folder--this is the cross I bear.
Anyways, since you put up that Pilooski remix of the Mystery Jets, which I really liked, I thought I would put up a different one that takes the remix in a way different direction. I wouldn't say I like one remix more than the other, 1. because I am not an ass and 2. because they are way too diferent to compare. I would say that the Duke Dumont remix falls more into the style of music I am especially obsessed with right now. Here it is:

Acid House

2008-06-15T13:19:00.000-07:00

Well, I am not an expert in any sense when it comes to the genre name game, but I do try. I think of acid house as a mix of noise core-like distortion, house beats and an overall high-energy design to the song. I think of The Bloody Beetroots or Boys Noize as some what Acid House like, but I don't know for sure. Here is a track I think works as an example of acid house(please let me know if I am way off), they may just be house or dance house or whatever, but I think they have a certain grit that most other types of house music notably lack. I love this type of music because while it keeps dancey rhythms, it has fist pumping, foot stomping, body breaking energy.

bike culture defined

2008-06-15T09:50:00.000-07:00

Bike Culture: A social clique organized around a certain style of bicycle and clothing. Members identify one-another through recognition of certain inside jokes and by displaying certain labels and brands on their clothing and bicycles. Periodically members of the “bike culture” organize events which only peripherally involve riding. Such events include: art installations; film screenings; and sitting on their bicycles for as long as possible without putting their feet down. Ironically, one can ride or race a bicycle every day for years without ever becoming—or even meeting—a member of the bike culture. Then one day one might stop into a bar for a drink and suddenly encounter 20 or 30 of them.

Alright, I figured how to post using Zshare so I guess here we go.

Since this is my first post ever on an internet blog I chose something significant to me.

As I have mentioned to some if not all of those in or surrounding the Shades Down crew, this year abroad has been huge for me in a lot of ways. On top of all the culture shock learning, spanish fluency, and overall growth that I have experienced this year, I have invested quite a bit of time and as much money as I could into developing my music tastes. While it was only a little over two years ago that I first hung out Stu and had my first bite of EDM it feels like quite a bit longer. I started listening to fairly mainstream Euroelectropoptronica, then got caught up in a love affair with mash ups--hood internet--, then kind of smoothed it all out and just listened to what came onto Discobelle or Missingtoof. But then I came down here. The EDM culture down here is similar to that of Europe's (they call Buenos Aires the "Paris of South America") except that it is just all imported, there is very little production going on down here, lots of djing but very little original producers or remix artists. Therefore, my taste swung into what I would consider the "posh" end of European electronic music. The big names came through, I went to Creamfields and saw the likes of Chemical Brothers and Spitfire and John Digweed and such; then went to a couple smaller raves and just started feeling out how little I knew about the international scene. At that time I was still feeling more dancey stuff and not so tech. Then a group of English boys came into the mix, Jack and Tom mainly, and just ripped my senses apart with all this talk of minimal and tech house. Now I would say I have kept my interest in dance house and figit house and acid house and everything else that is on the blogs, but just have become more selective about it. I have added to that interest a strong desire to learn more about and hear more minimal, tech house and deep house (as well as just know more about all of the artists I listen to). So in the spirit I am posting a track that while you may have heard the Claude VonStroke 17 year remix, I doubt you guys have heard the original--two very different tracks despite being based on the same sounds. It is "Cicada" the original mix by Justin Martin, one half of the Martin Brothers and a prominent member of the Dirtybird crew. Enjoy:

(PS: how do I make the link just be the word "Cicada" or "Zshare" or something like that?)
