One Of These Things

One of these things is definitely not like the other but I'll let you figure out which one it is.  I am mildly obsessed with this Luca Lozano track.  Luca has a deep sound like no other, if you are just getting into house / deep house make sure you check out some of his other releases, they are all quite outstanding.  For something totally different check out Get Nuts new release out on Midnight Munchies!  Hope you guy's are having a great halloween weekend, the paaaaaaaarty weekend of the year.  Is it me or are people getting way more creative with halloween costumers this year? So far costume of the year goes out to the three girls dressed as Rockford Peaches I saw on Friday night wearing some authentic looking uniforms.  Each of them look like real Peaches from the movie, go Peaches!  I think I am going to play tricks on the kids tomorrow night and skip the treats.

Get Naked



Here is a track I can't share with you directly because it is a private share but make sure to check out the following:  Follow this link http://soundcloud.com/rivastarr to Riva Starr's SoundCloud page, follow him and check out his new collaboration with Fatboy Slim, 'Get Naked' from his new album out in December.  Bumblebeez!!!!  Solid remix of Torro Torro's 'Country Club' by Jamrock, new Louis La Roche....when will your album come?  Another solid release from No Brainer, 2011 is a real break out year for this little label.  Real nice track from Sneaky Sound System but my favorite of the lot is probably this unreleased downloadable track remixed by m.in & Jonas Fahz.  A fun funky swing vibe that I can't get enough of, I think you'll like it.

Bonjour mes amis, one of my favorite djs & producers Riton (1/2 of Carte Blanche with DJ Mehdi RIP) has a great track with an amazing video that is out just in time for Halloween parties this holiday season.  Mr. Smithson, I hope you are doing ok we loves yous.  This Aquarius Heaven track is also pretty awesome, lyrics be ill.  Yolanda Be Cool have a new EP coming, 'Le Bump' is gonna be huuuuuuuge.  The remixes are pretty killer, I posted a Round Table knights one earlier this week but I think I like this Jesse Rose one a tad better.  Kids, giv'r.

Lots of fresh tunes for you this fine Wednesday morning.  Alf has put his stamp of approval on the following:  Dillon Francis's 'I don't Give A Fuck Or Shit' is out now.  This is like music you would hear on a merry-go-round mixed with some hard mooomba.  A-Trak put together a sweet little Mehdi tribute.....I still can't believe what happend, sometimes I think about it at random moments and get a little sad inside.  Swanky Yolanda Be Cool remixed by the bearded Swiss.  Latest Snatch! release coming your way on the 19th from Pirupa.  I think so far in 2011 they have been my favorite label, Riva Starr never disappoints.  Hope you all have a swanky Wednesday, enjoy!

Would someone please bring back some great after school television for the kids, todays crappy tv just ain't the same.  Saved by the bell was the last of the great after school shows, they just don't make them this bad but good anymore.  Kelly Kapowski, boooom!   Musically, the following is a real nice assortment of tracks you've probably never heard before that you should listen to because I said so.  Shout out to Brenmar whose going to Europe on Tour soon with Dillon Francis & Mele for thirteen shows.  Should be a hell of a tour, check it out if you get a chance, shizzle be bump'n.   I was browsing the best of the the last couple days and came up with the following:

Whooomp

What a lovely animated pic of Diplo he was so kind to share with his followers on twitter, what a charmer.  Non Diplo related, as anyone who follows the blog knows I've been a huge fan of the Sound Pellegrino podcast for quite some time now, listening to it pretty religiously.  This weeks episode is probably one of my favorites to date.  The exclusives are pretty insane, go check them out if you haven't at http://www.soundpellegrino.net or download their new iphone app at the app store.  This new Scntst release is kind of a big deal, amazing Renaissance Man remix & new Prince Club coming soon!

House Of Beni

A couple months ago I was infatuated with this remix of a track called 'It's A Bubble' the Round Table Knights did for an artist I had never heard of that goes by the name of 'Beni'.  Then I saw one of this years best music videos for 'It's A Bubble' that he put out as a preview for this album. Beni's got an album dropping worldwide this week that's been in the making for several years called 'House Of Beni'.  I'm having a really hard time picking where I would categorize 'House Of Beni'.  The best description I would come up with is that it's an eccentric mix of pop sounding house with a funky twist.  The production value is really good and I feel like I could let this album play at an intimate house party without having to worry that someone is going to go and change what's playing.  Every track on this album has a very 'happy dance party party type vibe to it.  My favorite track after 'It's A Bubble' is probably an instrumental house track called 'Yeah' that has a really good house beat that will fit right into with my genre of dj set.  As for something a little off the beat & path check out Zig Zags that has a simple yet beautiful melody.

If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it

I believe Ferris said it best when he said 'If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it'.  Although I don't feel like I've missed anything, I should definitely stop and look around more often.  To my Canadian friends, I hope you've had a nice thanksgiving and that the gobble gobble was delicious. As for my musical selections of the day, J Paul Getto has a new ep coming soon, support these guys; it'll make you feel good about yourself.  I am also really digging this Tanner Ross track, something about it made me go hmmmmm.  New Brenmar coming soon and something different from Diplo.

Neon Dreams

I was reading a couple other reviews of this album before listening to it in full and I can't help but think that I got a secret amazing copy that they didn't get, f'n twits.  L-Vis 1990 co-founder of the the one and only Night Slugs label has his first proper album out this week and it's a real doozy.  It has a more pop-e / chill vibe to it that isn't a representation of what the Night Slugs label is all about.  If you're looking for Bok Bok / Jam City / Girl Unit type sound you aren't going to find it here.  Instead you're going to get a mix of luscious spacey instrumentals with really good builds with raw breakdowns and a some pop house music.  'Cruisin' & 'Here With You' are probably two of my favorite instrumentals if you don't include the title track Neon Dreams with a vocal sample at the end to close out the album with a sci-fi feel.

Javon McCarthy's vocals are a big part of what give this album a pop feel and make a good album great.  His appearance on 'Forever You',  'Lost in Love' & 'One More Day' are really stand out as some of the best tracks.  One last track that really deserves a mention is 'Tonight', something about the simple pop lyrics with a great spacey vibe really does it for me.  

This is a much different sound than what a typical fan of the label would be expecting and most fans would probably be disappointed if they were expecting uk funky bass step.  Just from a first listen I think this has a chance be placed next to Daft Punk's 'Discovery' on the shelf.  

Not too many previews out there but they will be sure to come.  Go out and buy it instead you won't be disappointed   

Forever you (Produced by L-vis 1990)

Dear Mr Forte,

You have the honors of being my player of the week on my fantasy team in our 50/50 yahoo league for your outstanding performance in week four.  I am so very sorry I ever doubted your talents after a horrible performance in week three and look forward to keeping you in my starting lineup.

Another week, another fantasy football victory.  Bring on the next victim please & thank you.

As for the music I am really liking my small selection of chilled out house tunes I've come across this gorgeous fall morning.  I especially like the Joyce Muniz 'Spooky Dusty' and this great Jamie Jones remix.  These can do no harm to your ears, enjoy!

You, Me, Off

This ain't no country club! Lot's of great tracks this weekend, here are a few of my fav's.  I love everything Gesaffelstein, not only because of the wicked name he carries but also because of the tracks he produces.  I still haven't gotten sick of The Rapture's 'How Deep Is Your Love'/  A-Trak but his little spin on it to make it fit a little smoother into dj sets and did a good job.  Got any of your own music you wanted posted on the blog that you think fits the genre of music I share?  Feel free to e-mail me or send me a tweet with your SoundCloud links.  Peace.
