Random Music Fridays

Random music goodness! Ah, a very busy week. I was not able to post as many songs as I was planning this week… which makes this Random Music Fridays my outlet for what I was holding back this week.

Electronic/Remixes

We start of with a “Super Mix” from a very talented DJ that goes by the name of Akilles. I had a chance to talk to him about his new remix/mashup “In For the Kill”. This is what he had to say:

“it’s actually a mash of 3 different remixes of La Roux’s hit “In For the Kill”. It starts off with Lifelike’s remix against Clash the Disko Kids and Ming’s ‘Lo-fi 1 AM’ mix and then midway through Last Japan’s Skream re-edit bass heavy monster crashes the party. I have always wondered why people don’t put together all the good remixes of a particular song, because each one has its unique attributes. This way it’s like a supermix, you get the collective genius of a couple of great producers all rolled into one song. Kinda like killing many birds with one stone huh?”

Kind of like killing many birds with one stone??? This is more like killing a population of birds with one machine gun!! The remix is totally so dope.

Electroacoustic
Orlando, the city I live in and the very title of this beutiful song by Polynya. A mellow electronic song unlike anything I have heard of before. I cant quite describe the feeling I get with the soothing high vocals in an electroacoustic environment that at times, its disguised unorgnized melodies suprisingly produce the richest harmonies. Polynya is an indie/electronic/concrete band from Chapel Hill, NC USA that just released their new album Crop Rotation available at Amazon and iTunes

Kinetics & One Love – Electronic Meets Hip/Hop

Posted by Blas Yaselli - August 6, 2009

It is always great when I see to different genre combine to make sweet sweet love. Kinetics and One Love are another great example to what happens when you combine electronic harmonies and synthesizers with hip/hop bass beats and witty lyricism.
Ever since they met in college, Kinetics, a battle rapper from Harlem, has been offering a distinctive compliment to One Love’s instrumentals, an eclectic reflection of Love’s background as a techno producer and drummer in an indie rock band.

2009 DJ Remixes Club/Dance Music Geniuses! Vol.1

best-dj-remix-2009

Ahh.. *sigh* dance music, my wonderful friend that keeps my body in motion at clubs and Discos. No matter how tired and/or drunk I may be (not that I always am :D), you are the one I can lean on in times of trouble. There are many types of electronic music for each mood you may be in, but if you want to party and dance all night long, nothing beats club remixes… just like the name describes it.. it is these tracks that are specifically designed to move your feet and get you emotionally ready to keep moving until you drop.

My first “2009 DJ Remixes Club/Dance Music Geniuses!” will be about an amazing duo from Scarborough just off the eastcoast of UK, THE SQUATTERS. Not only was I impressed by their tracks but also by the consistent level of quality throughout their work. It was hard not to post all their songs on here. Not only are their beats flawlessly remixed but they incorporate enough crescendoing, build ups, that just get you excited for more. Enough of the talk, I will let their tracks speak for themselves.

Not sure what genres you can clasify “Good Enough” by Polychromatic …Experimental Electro pop?.. In the end what only matters is that aside from its monotomous/robotic vocals that eventually grew on me, this is a great example of a glitch pop song that is full of harmonies and a wide range of satisfying melodies.

Tomatos New Remix Album ~(dub)auchery~

Posted by Blas Yaselli - July 29, 2009

You might remember Tomato’s Awesome Two Weeks Remix back in April. Just recently Tomato has released 12 remixed tracks on his new album, (dub)auchery available for free download on his myspace. What I like most about the tracks on this album, or pretty much most of his songs for that matter, is his ability to keep a much calmer electronic approach on his remixes. It is not always about adding that phat bass and frequency stretching we have come to love, but rather focusing more on the subtle melodies contained in the original songs. Make sure you download a copy of his album…. Its FREE!!

[Interview] & [Album Review]: Adam and Darcie "California Trail"

Posted by Blas Yaselli - July 28, 2009

Poetic Version Review:
From the first time you are able to ride the bicycle without any help, to almost falling in love with someone that you just met, sometimes in life things just click and although you may not understand the why or the how, all questions become mute as the moment takes over and puts you in a different place and time. Equally, on a musical scale, this is how I felt when I listened to Adam and Darcie’s latest album “California Trail”. As I was checking my Inbox for new music, I was provided a link to listen to their new single “Hands/Mind”. A very simple task I thought to myself, I opened the link and started playing the song. About twenty minutes in I came to the realization that I was not just listening to one song but the entire album available for streaming on their website. It was purely magical, their album and my ears had just clicked, love at first listen one can say. Before I was able to answer the how or the why, their carefully crafted melodies, delicate to the ear but strong with emotions, had taken me to another place that although unfamiliar to me, had never felt closer to home, I was walking on the California Trail.

Regular Version Review:
I am a little embarrassed to admit that the above is 100% the truth. I enjoyed their album so much; it inspired me in many ways. The best answer is always the simplest one and when you add instrumental melodies, intertwined vocals between wife and husband and the passion to create, you get Adam and Darcie definition to what music means to them. California Trail is a story telling venture about longing for a peaceful, family life and a place to call a home.
