Where the food sounds good, and the music is pretty tasty too.
I was minding my own business when this track abducted me and ferried me off to never never land. And just like magic pills, not the physical kind, but the kind that rain down on you in a cascade of decibels, I was punch drunk and reeling. That’s my story and I’m grooving to it. Tourist is the artist and “Tonight,” is the funky free floating antidote. Peace. Continue reading “tourist // tonight”
Its Friday the most reverent of days heralding (for most) the end of the work week. And in my mind it would be a travesty of seismic proportions to squandered it on bass-less music. Enter AC Slater and his sunny brand of mixology. After the jump crack open the cold fizzy sound of ‘Angels With Dirty Basses’ and know the book, chapter and verse of what it means to get down and get funky. So, turn it up and let the sound libation begin in earnest! Peace. Continue reading “ac slater // angels with dirty basses”
The music duo Houses (Dexter Tortoriello and Megan Messinais) is many things. The songs are contradictions too: a coalesced vibratory stillness which resonates the secret longings of timidity as it finds its strength to reach for everything. The song “Beginnings,” enters your ear like the echo of falling flower petal. Yet, once nestled within your inner ear it does something else too, it dies and it blooms simultaneously. Dexter’s vocals stretch deep roots as fragile as unrequited longing into sun, moon and stars and beyond. This one stays with you long after silence has filled the space of its distant yearning. Although the album ‘A Quiet Darkness‘ via Downtown Records is set for an April 16th release I am hopeful for more soon, real soon. Peace. Continue reading “houses // beginnings”

Maud Geffray and Sébastien Chenut are kind of a Parisian dynamic duo when it comes to creating deep musically creative music. In my mind what they do is assemble these incredible soundtracks which combine the best elements of fear and beauty. On their track “Waiting” featuring Koudlam, the song builds and stalks as the listener huddles down beneath it’s tantalizing menace. But in the end it swallows you up majestically and you couldn’t be happier. Look for the new album ‘Communion‘ to be released January 28th. Just a couple of things, the above photo is courtesy of Brain Magazine and my favorite SM album is Enemy & Lovers. Peace. Continue reading “scratch massive // waiting (ft. koudlam”
