Hands Up Summer!

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Sun, 29 Jul 2012 08:54:00 +0000

I'm alive! Sort of. I was insanely busy, and then I just lost motivation to post music, and then I didn't have internet... Yeah, I've got lots of really bad and invalid excuses. I do, however, now have some music to share with you. Over the next month (that'd be August, I realize I'm jumping the gun a bit here), I will be posting summer mixtapes, possibly along with the occasional song depending on how work goes. I made the terrible mistake of not putting a track number for this playlist, so instead of giving you the listing, I'm just going to highlight some of my favorites. Oh yes, and this one, as the title says, is called "Hands Up", so take a stab at what kind of music it is.

Download Here.
If someone can suggest a better host I'm all ears.

If you guessed electronic, you win! You can download the mixtape just like everyone else, good job. So it's a 10 track mixtape, and all of the songs on it I first heard in the month of July, but that doesn't mean that's when they came out. I lacked internet for quite sometime, but let's get into it. I have to of course love Madeon's single, Finale, he keeps lighting up the music world. Fantastic melodies, enough bass and killer vocals. Chameo's track, Hey! is a really up beat, care free, dance track that feels summery. Really shows what the young Dane is capable of.

For me I think the best track for the moment, is Air by UK producer Rouge. He does a great job of taking summer and putting it in a track. Three months from now when we all haven't seen sunlight in as many weeks, I'll turn this on and imagine being in a warm summer night. I'm also partial to the Teenage Crime remix, but that's because those vocals to me are amazing.

So there you have it, my first post in forever. Check back, I promise it will be tops a week until I post again.
Still the best way to keep track of my weird posting habits is my twitter, which is on the side. And not my twitter because I don't see the point of it for personal usage. But that's just me.

I'm out!

Pillow Talk

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:00:00 +0000

What's this, I'm kind of on time for posts? Amazing! Anyways, this post is a bit more chill, except for the last song. It's bipolar with it's bass, so much so it throws me off. But enjoyable nonetheless, if this slow stuff isn't your style, give the others a cursory glace but totally check out the last track.

Oh yeah, and on this one, buy means "get for free" because Beat Culture is awesome like that.

So there you have it, some new music. Time to stumble on to class, I'm out.

Smash and Mash

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 22:44:00 +0000

I feel like I should take a break from dancing, but as I'm sitting here I still want to. So here's another dance inspired post, because chair dancing while studying is underrated.

Here's another song based off Levels, only it's in reverse, which is a very weird feeling. But enjoyable
nonetheless.

And to end off the post, a much more chill track in comparison. The kind you want to listen to as you drive in the night.

I hope you guys had a good weekend. I did, but it was no where near as productive as it needed to be, but that's what Sunday is for right? I'm out.

Sharing Sheets

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 22:12:00 +0000

Hey everyone, let's party.

Have a good night everyone. It's Friday, dance away that stress. I'm out.

Milk and Cookies

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 00:58:00 +0000

Oh my a slightly more together post. School is kicking my ass right now, so I do apologize for the lack or posts. However, hopefully when I do post, you guys love the music just as much I do. Here's DOSVEC with his latest mashup, enjoy it. I did.

I hope you know, by posting two tracks not from the same medium it's killing me inside because it doesn't match up. Oh well, here's Go Home Freshman, they're pretty great.
(NEW SONG)Nightmare on McClellan Drive(NEW SONG) by Go Home Freshmen
Here's a third song from NY lyricist Silver Medallion and Texas producer Feature Cuts. They do a good job, the song they say is about chasing love and music, and I almost agree, what else matters? I have to say, some of the dubstep in the middle seems a bit out of place, but otherwise, no real complaints.

So I hope you enjoy the music, play it loud. I'm out.

Taste Test

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 19:39:00 +0000

I recently have been listening to a bunch of hiphop, so I decided to sample some of what is currently to offer. I even tossed in some Grime, because why not? So here it is, Tyga and Wiz Khalifa, two of hip-hop's, currently, highest grossing artists. I like the fact that Nas is on Kings & Queens, it really adds for me, his verses are always so killer. I also enjoyed the change for Khalifa, who slowed down his party life style lyrics for a track or two, and he might actually be lyrically talented. We shall see, it remains to be seen.

My Favorite Song-Wiz Khalifa
Morocco-Wiz Khalifa
Faded-Tyga
Kings and Queens-Tyga, Wale & Nas
Haunted-Nico Lindsay
So there's the music I have for you today, I hope you enjoy it. I'm out.

Take Over

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:44:00 +0000

School decided to kick me in the teeth these last few days. Here's some music I'm using to forget the fact my mouth is still bleeding.

He's Canadian! Oh yeah! Plus his music is enjoyable, which is [b]really[/b] the important thing here.

Here's some wubwub from two top names in making Alien communication music.

Here's a relatively new female mashup duo out of NY. Clever album name too, Girls Talk. I had a good chuckle, so give a listen and throw some love their way.

I know,not all of them have downloads,but this is what I've been listening to for the last few days, sorry about my infrequent posting. I still love you guys, I'm just super busy with school. My twitter will update when I do post so follow that to not miss any music ♥

I'm out guys, keep on dancing.

Dream One Day

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:00:00 +0000

Oh boy, back to school, so as usual I'm not prepared. Here you guys go, enjoy the tunes. Even tossed in a mashup, that's an oddity lately.

These guys kill it.

I hope you enjoy them, sorry for the rush. I'm out!

Mixed Results

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:00:00 +0000

Here we go again, another bunch of tunes. G-Eazy just dropped a new track three or four days ago, I just heard it two days ago, it was pretty damn good. His smooth styles and old pop samples are great. Of course, this time he's working with small time artist Dominique LeJeune. Check them both out, her voice is perfect and his verses smooth.

I had honestly completely forgotten about Eat More Cake until a last night when I heard one of the songs of his I have on my iPod while I was doing some work. Regardless, his tunes are killer so I decided to give a little love to him, and it's due for sure. This is pretty different from most of his stuff, but still kills it.

I'm not sure if I've talked about Brenton Duvall before but he's pretty damn talented, as proved by his production skills on this OnCue track. Like damn, it's impressive. Not to over-shadow OnCue, he does an amazing job spitting on this tune, listen up, maybe you'll learn something.

That's all for today. Expect the next post up Monday Morning, I'm traveling on Sunday so I doubt I'll get one up. I'm out.

Washed Out

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:00:00 +0000

A few days ago this guy sent me his stuff. I finally got around to checking it out, not bad. So check it out, give him some love,it's a nice chill track.

I know there isn't a free download, but give the track a listen, it's so dance inspiring. I'm loving the big room sounds he's got going on.

I spent some time looking for new music to post, being back at my parent's place I'm spending my time catching up with friends and homework, not finding new music. Thankfully I was saved by an Inner Worlds track he dropped a few days back. He knocks it out of the part again, hitting my mood perfectly.

I know, these kind of posts are weird, not following my other set up. Oh well, I'm out.

Extravaganza!

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 06:37:00 +0000

I told you I'd be away for a few days, and it ended up being quite a bit longer then expected. So to make it up to you, here's some music I've been rocking in the last few days.

No download on the next track, but it's so good I had to post it.

A friend showed me this new deadmau5 track stub a few minutes after it broke and it already had 10K+ hits. Seriously, he's killing it. Also, if this track is any indication, he's shifting back towards the prog-house side of the spectrum which is where, personally, some of his best work is. I'd totally be down with a Strobes sequel.

And because it is Spring Break, here's a track to dance to.

This is a weird time to post for me, but I'm on break so normalcy is gone. Anyways, I hope to regain it. Enjoy the tracks, I'm out!

Terminally Unattracitve

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 23:00:00 +0000

I'm sorry, but even after not posting for a few days because of school, I now don't have time to post a big nice pretty post because I'm just about packing to leave for reading break. So here's some great music, you should enjoy it. New post up sometime in the next few days ♥

These guys are Canadian, so that's just awesome. And the track is sweet, which implies that in total, they are sweetawesome. I can't think of anything clever. However, check out this if you want a dubstep laugh. Honestly, it's just great.

Like I said, I'm rush. Post again in a few days. I'm out!

We Can Dance!

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:00:00 +0000

I know I missed a day, but it is one of the several weeks from hell I get to experience each semester. So deal with it! And check back decently frequently, because you love new music ♥. I don't normally due this, but because it is Spring Break, well soon for me, already upon some of you, Kap Slap just dropped a mix for the occasion. And damn, it's banging. Usually, I have no attention span so I can't listen to things that last an hour without skipping it, this time however, I enjoyed every damn second. Check it out! It's free, as he says, just bump it.

A friend sent me that picture, and it probably is a lot less funny to those of you who are not sleep deprived. I however, found it hilarious. Anyways, I haven't posted a dubstep track in quite some time I don't think so I figured one was about due. So here's a Weeknd track that got remixed by Chicago based Red Mob. They added some wubs,some wobbles and some hammers. Check them out, it's a free download, so be sure to check them out a bit more then usual, because hey, supporting free music leads to more free music!

Oh yeah, and it's Valentine's day or something, so if you've forgotten, you're completely fucked. But try to make a last ditch effort? If you didn't, I wish you all smooth sailing with whomever you want to express your passion to. That's enough heartfelt-ness to last a life time, I'm out.

Can You Be

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:00:00 +0000

Wow, might I actually be on time, without missing time? Oh man, this is a miracle! Here's mash up superstars The Hood Internet with a track they dropped a few days ago. I had to think if I actually liked it. I think it's mainly the Phantogram beat that makes me love it, because I'm not a huge fan of Wiz, but this mix totally works, and it does get me in the mood to spend my life dancing. What else are mashups for?

I don't know anything about this guy, he's Russian, that's about all I know. Maybe I'd know more if I spoke Russian, however until then, you should know he loves 90's rap and making oldschool rap beats. It's a nice change of pace, check him out.

Take A Walk

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:53:00 +0000

This post will be going up a bit later then usual, I overestimated the time it would take to finish some things up this morning. Not to worry, here we go with it! Lancelot in this sense is not a knight of the round table, but instead an artist from Australia. I'd never heard of him before this, but without hearing the original because I currently don't have time, it sounds like he's got some talent. The remix is done by another Australasian, Frames, who's musical prowess I can attest to. Nonetheless, check them out this song, and more of their stuff.

Next up we have a remix by San Fran based White Noize. They did a banging job of amping up the bass hits and turning this track into one that makes you want to dance, check it out!

I love the increase in free music on the web now, it's glorious. I'm out!

Lovely Basslines

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:00:00 +0000

So I decided to post this song last night, so at this point I'm dedicated to it, but I'm sure at this point it's flying all over the blogosphere just because I saw it spike up last night. I haven't actually checked around, either way, here it is. The Knocks are a NYC based production Duo that have done some pretty huge things in the last little while, they've worked with huge pop names as well as some the biggest names in electronic music, deadmau5 and Calvin Harris jump to mind. And if I'm not mistaken they toured with Ellie Goulding, I'm so jealous, her voice is amazing. Just like these guys' beats. The original was great, so many mixes of it and this one sticks out, listen loud.

So I haven't shown very much Indie-electronic love lately, so I figured I'd switch that up with a track from Owsey who is apparently rather well known considering this track has gotten...well a bunch of plays in less then a day. So check it out, I hope you'll love it.

The picture is from Owsey's facebook. He has some pretty cool photos up so you should check him out. Anyways, I'm out.

Oh yeah, I blogged about MartyParty a little while ago, if you liked it, he dropped his album yesterday, so go check it out here, also some Tour Info.

We All Need Time

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:00:00 +0000

I know, I missed a day, so without further adieu, here's some music. It's old, and great.
Smile Like You Mean It(Madeon Remix)-The Killers

Next there's two remixes of a Fenech Soler song, you decide which one you like better. I'm torn.
First, is Minnesota who's based out of California. Check him out, he drops a bunch of free music.
Demons(Minnesota Remix)
On the other side is Sigma, they're pretty famous. Check them out too, you have to pay for their music and it's totally worth it.
Demons(Simga Remix)

I should have some new music for you next post. I'm out!

Call Me

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:00:00 +0000

This is Big K.R.I.T, a hip-hop artist I honestly cannot say I knew anything about before I heard this song. It's been going crazy all over the internet, so I figured I'd share it with you guys. He's got an EP coming out, and as I look over his releases it surprises me I haven't heard his name before. Regardless, he kills it on this track, the kind of lyrics that made the greats the best, and makes people spend hours writing 16s. Chill out, relax, take a second to take it in.

In the totally opposite direction, we have a slammin' remix from Ecto Cooler, an LA based producer that is bringing electro to dance floors all over, flying through the rest of the pack and playing at some huge venues. Na Palm is a Hip-Hop artists that I've blogged about before, he's still killin' it as far as I can tell. It's nice to see people working different genres together, creates the kind of synergy that leads to the biggest tracks.

I told you I was busy, but hey, I can't live without new music, so why should you. I'll hopefully get back to a longer(ish) posting once midterms die down. Oh wait, they won't.

I'm out.

To The Limit

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:23:00 +0000

I know, I missed a day. It's midterms times, I'm so sorry about that. Sadly, today will also be a rushed post, but here it is. The Louder The Better, a production duo based out of California. This particular song is french House, and it's delicious. So listen loud, the louder it goes,the better it is I guess? That wasn't even close to clever.

This picture is pretty much what my room looks like right now
Here's a song that's about a month old, but still great. Enjoy the beats from Kap Slap that still feel my head. I'm liking the electro, it's a nice change.

I told you it'd be short today, enjoy the music. I'm out.

Erase Me

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:03:00 +0000

This is probably going to be a short post. I'm up way to early to be thinking straight but hey, full day of skiing so huzzah!! Right into it, here's DJ Eli, a young guy from New York spreading some mashup love. I feel it's only proper to return the favor, and he does a pretty damn good job. I always love Biggie Lyrics.

Next up is another New Yorker, MartyParty. This kid is blowing up all over the place, check him out. Download of this song here.

Told you it'd be rushed! ♥ Listen loud!

Give A Damn

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:12:00 +0000

I know, the post is up later then it should be, I'm sorry about that but I had a Fire Drill this morning so I didn't have time to write up my post. Sorry about that. So SOPA is at least for the moment gone, I didn't talk about it on here because while I didn't think it was a good idea, I'm about making you dance, not politics. However, when I can combine the two... Let's just say Arion kills it. Keep sharing that word! Let me keep doing this ♥
[Dubstep] Arion - Internet Rebellion (Fuck S.O.P.A) by Arion

I know, I've posted about Go Periscope before, and I know that this isn't a new song or anything. But hey, I told you I was rushed! I hope you can forgive me, but this song has been playing in my head for quite a while. Enjoy it, it's slammin'.
She Gets Around The World (Daft Punk) by Go Periscope

I'm outie for now.

Scale It Back

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:00:00 +0000

So with midterms closing in it's time to begin slamming my face into books even more then I already am. I can't do that without music though, so I here's some delicious treats that I found in the last few days. First up we have Styles & Complete, two guys from North Carolina that produce a heavily hip-hop influenced style of electronic music. And damn, they kill it. Check them out, show them some love and all that, they've blowing up.
Slam The Heartbeat (Styles&Complete Mash) Childish Gambino vs. Zedd by Styles&Complete

In a totally different direction is a remix of a College song, I really don't know anything about the guy that did the remix, but he does a pretty damn good job. So check him out, and totally check out this indie-electronic masterpiece.
College Ft. Electric Youth - A Real Hero (Seeley TMK Remix) by Seeley

I hope this helps you through your day. I'm out.

Hit The Pinnacle

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 15:00:00 +0000

About a week ago I got an email from Kick Snare Leave informing me of a new EP he was releasing. I was stoked, his brand of indie-electronic is what makes me scour the internet for music, so check it out, here's a preview. Full EP download available here.
I Dance by Kick Snare Leave

Sticking with the Indie theme here's Tiny Victories. They're some nice Indie-electropop with lyrics that ring true and melodies that take me away. So listen to them,spread the word, they're great.
Lost Weekend by Tiny Victories
Short post, I know. But it was filled with Indie-electronic goodness, so it totally makes up for the length. I'm out.

We Are Connected

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:29:00 +0000

It's Friday, once again. So in spirit of that, here's a complete banger of a track by Klaypex. Even more awesome, it's free, it says buy but it's just a re-direct to buy so check it out and pump it louder.
On a side note, the sample is genius, the quality of production is fantastic, Klaypex is showing signs of being the a monster.
Feel Alright (Daft Punk) by Klaypex

This picture made my day just a little bit better so I decided it was share-worthy. Excuse me for being silly.

I try to get you guys super fresh music, but it doesn't always work out like that. Like yesterday, I found some new music that had just dropped and said to myself "Oh yeah, this'll work for sure tomorrow!", as it so happens, most of the songs I had this thought about are not in the 20 top at hypemachine, so fresh is a bit out of the question. So this is a bit older, and doesn't have a download, but still, the rework of an old hero is usually bad. This time, turned out to be amazing.
Röyksopp vs Thin White Duke - What Else Is There (Neon Stereo 2012 Refix) by neonstereo

Listen loud, have a good weekend everyone, time for me to hit the bottle, then the slopes tomorrow. I'm out!

Midweek Mashups!

noreply@blogger.com (metroknome) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:00:00 +0000

Yes! Mashups! Oh boy you have no idea how much I need them right now. With my poor time management skills and school, I really need the mindless pick-me-up that they provide. So here we have two very talented artists, first of is DOSVEC who exploded in 2011, when I first heard a track of his I was skeptical. But with time, and experience, comes one of the best and most consistently producing mashup artists around. He says his DOSVEC project has changed his life, and it's certainly made my life a helluva lot more enjoyable. With the start of 2012, he's released some more tunes, my favorite being Mundo which mixes a number of songs into a up-beat poppy baseline with some feel good lyrics.
DOSVEC "Mundo" by DjWhatt

In this corner we have Sex Ray Vision, the Stanford University based duo who have pumped out some seriously catchy tunes. Ravi is the producer so most of what you hear in this song probably came from him, and by most I think I might mean all. Honestly I'm not sure, but these two have some serious talent both in production and lyrics. Check out their stuff, I spent a solid hour last night just listening to their SoundCloud while I was doing Physics until ungodly hours. Now I'm awake, much too early, because that's school for you. Right, listen loud!
Mind Explosion 2011 [Mashup] by sexrayvision

So aside from my probable spelling mistakes due to my lack of sleep, I hope you guys enjoyed the post. I enjoyed writing it, it's much more fun then eating or something else more important. I'm out!
