[Folk] Elvis Depressedly – A Bible In A Bath Of Bleach

Posted by Clare Williams - March 15, 2012

Indie poster-boy Mat Cothran’s new side project ‘Elvis Depressedly‘ is making waves on the blogosphere, and not just due to its kick-ass moniker. His latest EP ‘GLMR KLLS’ (recorded for Glamour Kills Clothing) features infectious folk-tinged tracks, such as ‘A Bible In A Bath Of Bleach’. This song is one of the catchiest things we’ve heard all year, and its laid-back groove will get feet tapping within seconds. If you like this, you can get the whole ‘GLMR KLLS’ EP for free here.

[SXSW] Turntable.fm Event (Giveaway)

Posted by Clayton Warwick - March 14, 2012

Turntable.fm + SXSW +Avatar DJ + Pepsi + Intel from Turntable.fm on Vimeo.

One Friday afternoon, the office where I work my regular 9-5 job decided to have a throwback-classic-jams day. Is there a service that could provide us the necessary platform? Yes. We hopped onto turntable.fm, and rotated songs, djs, laughs and had a hell of a good time. If you’re not familiar with turntable.fm – here’s the skinny. It’s like a disc jockey chat room. There’s dj stations where people can have their avatar play music, and the song that’s playing in the room rotates from one person to another. If you want to kill time, listen to music, and have a blast – this is your answer.

As you know, we’re at SXSW right now. We wanted to post this to let you know that there is a little contest going on. What does it entail? Well all you have to do is email contests@theconfluencegroup.com with The Music Ninja, and 3/15 in the subject line. And, for sending this teeny tiny email, you’re entered to win tickets to the 3/15 party with Diplo, ?uestlove, and A-Trak. Say whaaaaaaa? Yeah you read that right. Get on it, Ninjas!!

[Remix] Housse De Racket- Chateau (Hey Champ Remix) + Tour Dates

Posted by Ricky Stephens - March 14, 2012

To help Housse De Racket promote their American tour they’ve released a new remix, from Hey Champ, of their track “Chateau”. In case you don’t understand how awesome that is on your own, allow me to fill you in. Hey Champ are known for their remixes because they’re consistently good, and they haven’t released anything for quite a while. Seeing this spark of life from them means both that they’re still at it and that we get to listen to another one of their efforts. The song “Chateau” benefits from Hey Champ’s modifications by getting a new, almost disco, groove that makes you want to move your body. Enjoy!

Remixes

Diplo – “Express Yourself” (ft. Nicky Da B) Official Music Video

Posted by Blas Yaselli - March 13, 2012

It was inevitable. From the very second we heard ‘Express Yourself’ we knew booty shaking would be part of the official music video. What just did not know to what extent. Diplo, alongside collab project under Major Lazer, has demonstrated time and time again to be an ass shaking aficionado. The official video for “Express Yourself” may not be the classiest film in 2012 but there something to be said for the level of enjoyment displayed. A good part of why we listen to music is to move our bodies and dance to it, and it just so happen that almost every beat Diplo gets his hands on has enough bounce to make you wiggle.

[Electronic] Alpine – Hands (Goldroom Remix)

Posted by Clare Williams - March 13, 2012

LA producer Goldroom has taken the louche ‘Hands’ by Aussie sextet Alpine and created a overwhelmingly sensual remix. With half-whispered chanting vocals layered over bursts of hand-claps and retro-inspired synths, ‘Hands’ is an unforgettable 5mins50secs of electro-pop to die for. Made for spring in the city, ‘Hands’ will kill off any last winter blues with its sheer sex appeal and vibrancy.
