[Event Review] CRSSD Festival – San Diego, 3/14-15

Posted by Ivan Chung - March 26, 2015

As festival season is upon us, many festival go-ers are itching to go to Coachella, especially when talking about the perfect California weather. Goldenvoice, hosts of Coachella, and FNGRS CRSSD have teamed up to create CRSSD Festival, a solution for those who can’t make it to the more high-profile festivals but still want to get a taste of the all-around chill California vibe. With that said, CRSSD festival was the perfect portrayal of sunny San Diego and what it represents.

The first ever CRSSD fest took place in the Waterfront Park from March 14 and 15, and featured a lineup with big names like Chromeo, Odesza, Flight Facilities and Empire of the Sun. While these unique electronic acts headlined the main stage a.k.a “Ocean View Live”, what stuck out the most to us was “The Palms” stage, which was decorated to fit a more laid-back and tropical vibe. Ranging from nu-disco to tropical house, the stage features some of the frontrunners of the dance scene, including names like Bakermat, Thomas Jack, Bixel Boys, Giraffage and Kaytranada. The middle stage, which was named “City Steps”, featured some heavyhitting house acts that span from future bass to G-House, notably Amtrac, Tensnake, James Murphy and Simian Mobile Disco.

’MNEK – Wrote A Song About You (Kaytranada Edition)’

’Giraffage – Hello’

Being that it was a debut festival, CRSSD fest did a phenomenal job of planning and set up. With KCRW Music Director Jason Bentley hosting the festival and filling in between sets with the crowd’s favorite music, there was never a dull moment at the park. Unlike some other major festivals, the Waterfront Park was the perfect size venue for CRSSD fest. The three stages were all easily reachable from one end to another, without overshadowing each other.

Now onto the stars of the show. The best acts on Saturday were undoubtedly Kaytranada and Giraffage. With back to back sets at “The Palms” stage, the two talented artists brought the house down with their immensely high energy performances. From the future bounce mastermind to the quirky creative genius, the two spun tune after tune that got the crowd going nuts. Empire of the Sun also put out an epic performance with their signature glamorous set up with stage dancers. There was no better way to close out the night after a long day of sweating and dancing.

[Tropical House] MYNGA feat. Cosmo Klein – Back Home (Thomas Jack Remix)

Posted by Ivan Chung - October 20, 2014

MYNGA feat. Cosmo Klein
Back Home (Thomas Jack Remix)

I’m sure by this time you all have grown familiar with tropical house music, following the revival of house music. Being one of the front runners of the subgenre, Thomas Jack never disappoints, coming out with this remix originally by MYNGA and Cosmo Klein titled “Back Home”. This juicy remix is the epitome of Mr. Jack’s talents and what his music represents. The uplifting guitar riffs and upbeat saxophone melodies steal the spotlight for this track. The clever incorporation of Cosmo Klein’s falsetto vocals into the tune also adds finesse and originality without overdoing it with Thomas Jack’s own elements.

There’s no doubt tropical house is going to be a household sound very soon. It is artists like Thomas Jack who helps set an impeccably high standard for the genre, without losing character in creating unique music for all of us. Stay tuned for more!

[Denver Giveaway] Thomas Jack – NORAD Dance Bar, 11/22

Posted by Matthew Bloss - November 20, 2013

Booka Shake (Original Mix)
Thomas Jack

In just the short year since Thomas Jack debuted his single “The Final Speech”, a track we had the pleasure of premiering, the musically-mature-beyond-his-years producer has been akin to a torrential downpour of success, registering now 8 singles to hold down a coveted #1 spot on the almighty Hype Machine charts. As that signature Thomas Jack tropical house sound has been leaking into the mainstream, it was time the young Australian brought his live show for an American tour, and our collective group of Ninjas have decided to let our Denver family in on the fun too! Thomas Jack’s tour rolls through Denver this Friday, November 22 at NORAD Dance Bar for their weekly HOME Denver party, and we thought this was a great time to give back to you loyal readers with a ticket giveaway. This Friday marks the Colorado debut of Thomas Jack, and likely the last time he will play at such an intimate venue, so do yourself a favor and get your behind over there even if this giveaway doesn’t go your way.

[Tropical-House] Benjamin Francis Leftwich – Atlas Hands (Thomas Jack Remix)

Posted by Matthew Bloss - November 15, 2013

Benjamin Francis Leftwich
Atlas Hands (Thomas Jack Remix)

Thomas Jack continues to hold our attention and simultaneously impress with his unique execution of dance music. After featuring a series of his originals and remixes here on TMN, it is becoming apparent that the 2o year-old Australian is honing in on a sound that has been nothing short of purely infectious; already placing five tracks at #1 on the Hype Machine charts. It appears a little part of his rhythmic and tropical house melodies are crossing over to an insurmountable number of listeners, and his latest remix of Benjamin Francis Leftwich‘s elegant indie-folk ballad “Atlas Hands” again avows a special ability to reshape any genre into a dance floor appropriate cut. Once more, it is a keen sense of classical production combined with the use of orchestral instruments to create a house structure- a pan flute, acoustic guitar and violin in this case – which separates Thomas Jack from most of his young contemporaries. At least for now, before the avalanche of hype behind the young producer becomes too much, all of Thomas Jack’s library has been given away for free and this remix of “Atlas Hands” follows suit. Head on over and pick it up here ninjas, you won’t regret it.

[Chill-House] Of Monsters and Men – Little Talks (Thomas Jack Remix)

Posted by Matthew Bloss - October 8, 2013

Little Talks (Thomas Jack Remix)
Of Monsters and Men

20 year-old house wunderkind Thomas Jack has been blessed with the King Midas touch as of late (speaking of course in terms of production), spawning four #1 stints upon the Hype Machine charts within only two months, and his latest remix effort will surely follow suit. The native of Sydney, Australia has taken indie-folk superstars Of Monsters and Men’s uber-successful single “Little Talks” and flipped it into a surprisingly workable, tropical house rhythm. Never once when perusing through the original did we dream of taking Of Monsters and Men to the dance hall, but once again Thomas Jack has sprinkled some more of that Down Under fairy dust all over the tune and fostered another chilled out, but vibrant and catchy piece of dance music. Once again, all it takes is a Facebook like to take this one home, so be sure to hop on it.
