Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

Theirs is an approach well documented in the annals of coveted remixes which will still be playing on constant repeat throughout all the known galaxies (and unknown). Remixes which will span a time and space unimagined and will endure long after all earthly civilizations are forgotten and re-forgotten dust. Peace.

Psst! The world is filled with vast soundscapes blossoming bouquets of possibility, infinitely. Why do I love penning this music blog? Well, everyday I am surprised and therefore thankful for the many artist adding their creative input and making me a believer over and over again. So, just so you know the Top 40 ain’t the only gig in town folks.

Check out Brooklynite Ang Low and his latest, the Life Goes Down EP. The EP includes 4-tracks, Can’t Describe Her, which unfolds like dark and sultry rose petals, dew heavy with the trappings of a heavy R&B influence. The EP title-track Life Goes Down sashays sweetly within the bell of your ear, this is the gospel of love at it’s finest, a declaration proclaiming devotion and a requited loveship forevermore. Then there is the tender as butterfly wings, Win Back Your Love, and the battle is on, to win back love…

The final reveal, Voodoo Woman is a frenetic shadow chant like a fiery shot over the bow of would be lovers the world over. Yet, to no avail for what is love without chaos and vice versa. At any rate you’ve be warned. All in all Ang Low fuses hormone infused lushness with atmospheric electronics with tinges of R&B and Soul and it is all tied up neatly with amazing vocals.

Ang Low’s debut the Life Goes Down EP drops courtesy of Luv Luv Luv Records on March 31st, 2014. Peace.

Moderat has admitted to doing us fans a grave injustice. The track Last Time didn’t make the cut on their wildly successful LP II. However, it made the cut as a bonus track on the limited Deluxe Edition of Moderat’s II release.

But folks there is good news on the horizon, Last Time will be released as a single and it hits the street January 17, 2014. It will get the vinyl treatment, alongside an instrumental version, an alternate version and the only guest remix by Jon Hopkins, who will also support Moderat at their second Berlin show at the Columbiahalle on February 27, 2014.

“Last Time” is now available for pre-order at Monkeytown Records. Peace.
