[Chilled] Stay Ali – Loner

Stay Ali are a quite extraordinary trio from Sweden who’s approach to music started off as a joke and developed into something more serious. There song ‘Loner‘ was released in July of 2011 and is simply beautiful.
Currently on  Monsieur Adi‘s label Technofavrik, Stay Ali for me a like a rare breed of musicians, beautifully poetic, unbelievably talented – but you really have to have a love for music to appreciate them! Often producing stunning chord progressions but having the guts to throw in the odd disjolted chord thrown in to keep you off the scent. I find myself listening to them with a sense of awe in how they journey their tracks and how they blend and layer their sounds. A definite producers favourite and this track marks thier debut on The Music Ninja.

With a great EP being released back in August out too – you’d be a fool not to check them out. Give them some love too on their Facebook.

Big ups to Tracasseur who have been flying the flag of Stay Ali  for quite sometime now.

Dj Antention – Take my Gun (Original Mix)

[Comment below]
A lot of the new Dubstep/Moommbah/Slapstep [yep that’s now a genre!] we’re hearing is getting harder and harder, more technical, more screeches, more, more, more! A freind recently told me he thinks “Dubstep is what Emo was in the late 90’s, targetted at sweaty C.O.D playing teenagers who need some outlet of all that built up anger they’re getting over their ‘lame’ parents and so the sound just get’s harder and harder.

Given that the majority sex at a dubstep gig is usually sweaty males, all of which attempting to catch the eye of the rare woman in the room  – does he have a point? Secondly… does that put me in the same camp as a sweaty teenager? Suddenly I’m feeling very insecure… but I’m still loving my dubstep 🙂

So Figure is quickly becoming hot property on the Dubstep scene. His intense drumstep sounds are often mashed with film samples and any other carnage sounding audio waves he can get his hands on.
