[NEW] Ratatat – Nightclub Amnesia

Posted by Ash El Gamal - July 7, 2015

RATATAT
NIGHTCLUB AMNESIA

Ratatat‘s forthcoming, highly-anticipated album, Magnifique, has been more than living up to its hype thus far. The first two jams shared, “Cream on Chrome” and “Abrasive,” see the legendary Brooklyn duo building out steady, and undeniably infectious, grooves with their signature guitar. “Nightclub Amnesia,” which dropped just this morning, continues in that tradition but proves the most dynamic, hard-hitting single from the project yet. Starting with glitchy synths and fuzzy guitar the song only grows from there developing into a disorienting, yet dance-floor ready, composition. As its name suggests, the “Nightclub Amnesia” evokes feelings of intoxication and euphoria once again displaying Ratatat’s one-of-a-kind sound. Magnifique drops in 10 days, on July 17th, and can be pre-ordered here.

[NEW] Kid Cudi – Love

Posted by Ash El Gamal - March 3, 2015

Kid Cudi
love.

Soundcloud

Kid Cudi has been showcasing his versatile talents outside of music recently–from starring in acclaimed Sundance films to joining the cast of Comedy Bang Bang. Even with a budding acting career, though, he recently announced that he’ll be working on the long anticipated next chapter in the Man on the Moon series with the same team of collaborators who helped created his classic debut. This morning, Cudder took to Soundcloud to sneak release a new loosie titled “love.” Keeping the throwback vibes alive, Dot Da Genius, the producer behind “Day and Night” among other hits, adds to Cudi’s own production featuring a Ratatat sample making the perfect backdrop for his signature swooning, uplifting vocals. The chorus on this one erupts into stadium-worthy proportions and the layering of Ratatat guitar riffs add to that epic sound. Hopefully we’ll hear MOTM3 sooner rather than later but this should do a great job holding fans over until then.

Prepare yourself because on June 8th, New York City electro due, Ratatat will finally be releasing their full-lenth LP4. They recorded the album at the same Old Soul Studios in Catskill, N.Y., where, as Paste describes it, is where they found the wealth of old synths, harpsichords, grand pianos, and other keyboard instruments evident throughout the last effort.

Ratatat – Grape Juicy City

The duo consisting of guitarist Mike Stroud and synthesizer, bass player, and producer Evan Mast, were my first introduction to the experimental genre with their synthesized /electronic/ experimental/ trip/hop style. They are able to produce multi-instrumental beats that are not only non-intrusive but incredibly organic. No matter how synthesized some of the melodies may appear, their music stays grounded to a genuine acoustic feel that makes the entire experience feel very natural. Ratatat caters to everyone, using enough rhythmic bass lines to please hip/hop fans of the like of Kid Cudi, while still creating provocative and melodic psychedelic guitar solos for the hardcore experimental junkies.
