Where the food sounds good, and the music is pretty tasty too.
Alt-J is one of the surprise breakout bands of 2012, and there is damn good reason for that without a doubt. Listen to their brand new song “Buffalo” featuring Mountain Man from the original motion picture soundtrack for Silver Linings Playbook. Also, just in case you missed it I included the backwardly interesting video for the song “Breezleblocks.” This is the song and video that put this band on a lot of people’s musical radar. Peace.

like nose diving into a champagne black hole of hypnotic sounds this papercutz track, “where beasts die” gets the remixed by none other than sweater beats and it has all the making of sound-tracking a night of forbidden (and not so forbidden) pleasure. it’s your call, but i got my money on the powerful seduction attributes of sweater beats. peace. Continue reading “papercutz // where beasts die (sweater beats remix)”
the talented young guns who make up the duo bondax (george townsend and adam kaye) are making waves and for good reason, they’ve got the midas touch when it comes to turning out great production and even groove theory music tracks. check out, “baby i got that” and their exclusive fader mix. the boys from britain kick off a series of north american dates starting in nyc at glasslands on december 5th. if you happen to see them send me some pics. peace. Continue reading “bondax // baby i got that”
brooklyn, nyc-based foursome body language lets loose with the shining star disco laden, “lose my head” from their recent grammar ep via om records. you can cop the release here and on itunes. by the way, i highly recommend the band’s 2011 release ‘social studies‘ peace. Continue reading “body language // lose my head”
it is so righteously good to hear new material from band vondalpark. not since their california analog dream and the more dynamic nyc stuff and nyc bags, which was in constant rotation of my playlist not so long ago. the uk trio is gearing to release their debut full-length ‘seabed’ via r&s records. after the jump listen to the first single release, “dracula”. the album drops march 13th next year. peace. Continue reading “vondalpark // dracula”
East London quartet Rudimental are on a mission to bring back soul into electronic music.
rudimental are the producers, songwriters and musicians piers agget, kesi dryden and amir amor. and together with dj locksmith, the four men of the world source their various musical backgrounds to constantly turn out dance floor gems from the motherlode of their collective consciousness. check out their, “not giving in” (ft. john newman and alex care), and on this one we get the magic of a bondax remix too! peace.
when i sun pulls the shades down obliterating the watching eyes of the world, then it is time to unfurl the sounds of young magic. earlier this year the band from nyc gave us all (for those with ears to hear) the wonderfully gorgeous album ‘melt’. after the jump check out the beautifully shot video for the song, “you with air” and then check out the bands collaboration with the über hot duo purity ring with the, “grandloves” (darkgrey remix). peace. Continue reading “young magic // you with air (official video)”
here’s the deal, some experiences should be experienced or re-remembered at best. better yet, a reenactment is in order! bringing to the fore the glory days of those stolen moments engrossed in the fine art of tongue wrestling. listen to west londoner only real as he unleashes the playful and exuberantly bouyant, “backseat kissers”. so, whether you’re actually young or just young at heart there is nothing wrong with a lil’ bump-n-grinding (even with all your clothes on and mayhap a few buttons and zippers resisting their design purpose) this one which puts the starch in formerly starch-less places and a healthy glow upon one’s cheeks. peace. Continue reading “only real // back seat kissers”
the current cassette release ‘same thing tomorrow’ marks a broader introduction to the world at large for the chino, california-based singer/songwriter vex ruffin. the songs he creates are simple, but more than effective at not only capturing the golden era of alternative but moves the genre forward by both sounding and not sounding like bands and acts like new order, peter murphy. check out his song, “same thing tomorrow”. peace. Continue reading “vex ruffin // same thing tomorrow”
one of the latest electro music projects out of the u.k. is pale. after the jump listen to the pop perfection that is the track “too much”. my first brush with this act tells one thing: i want more, and i think you do too. peace. Continue reading “pale // too much”
