Why FuKK When You Can Dance

2012-02-27T14:23:00.000-05:00

I was trying to find the lyrics to this Burka track once but I don't think anyone really caught on to what was being said. So far this is what I got:

Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

Nyea nyea nyea nyea nyea nyea nyea nyea nyea nyea nyea nyea nyea nyea nyea

Not into the Oscar's? Here are a few tracks that stood out for me this weekend and a great mix from the Check Yo Ponytail's mixtape series. Hope you had a great weekend.

Wynton Marsalis

2012-02-23T22:09:00.001-05:00

I had an opportunity to catch Wynton Marsalis and his amazing band last night in Ann Arbor at the Hill Auditorium and boy was it ever something special. I've always liked Jazz but I don't think I've ever quite got lost in the jazz as much as I did last night. There were many highlights for me but the one that stood out the most is probably when they did a brilliantly complex jazz rendition of 'Itsy Bitsy Spider'. It was one of the most extraordinary live sets I've ever heard in any genre. These guys were really at a whole other level, if you ever get a chance to check out their current tour out I highly recommend it.

For something totally different of a indie dubstep nature check out a free download from Krusha for his remix of 'Kissing Taste'. It's free so how can you refuse, everyone loves free stuff. I'm also really digging this weird remix for Johhny Fiasco's 'Groove On' from KiNK.

Quiet weekday for this guy visiting Ann Arbor, Michigan. Just got a parking ticket on my way to put more money in the meter. That's twice this month I've been paying for parking and still got a ticket. Sometimes I think owning a car just ain't worth it and I wish I lived in a bigger city where I could do without. On a musical note I have a real tasty preview of an upcoming Gavin Herlihy release out on Leftroom. Please support an artist and buy some music.

Liz Taylor

2012-02-21T19:20:00.000-05:00

Lots of fresh music to listen to this fine Tuesday evening. To start out I've got this 'Liz Taylor' track is pretty awesome use of sampling, with just the right amount of groove thats available in both vinyl and now digital. For some real techno, check out the ZZT remix out on Turbo this week as part of a second pac of remixes for 'Work' . Got an itch for a Whitney Houston bootleg to celebrate her life? This version of 'I wanna dance with somebody' is a little rub a dub dub steppy without going too overboard. DWNTWN sent me a link to a video they just did for their new release 'Hungry Hearts' which is a pretty dope track. They are a two piece group consider themselves folk artists who write electronic music and do a mighty fine job of it from what I've heard so far. Couple other fine tracks for good measure, may your musical journey be glorious.

Hook

2012-02-20T13:04:00.000-05:00

Dark & Stormy teamed up with Loopus Amadeus in a side project called L.A.D.S and they got a real sweet free track on Soundcloud for your downloading pleasure. It has a pretty good hook to it, follow these guys because I get the feeling big tings are coming. I never expected Chocolate Puma to remix a track like Nicky Romero's 'Toulouse' but they did and it's not to shabby. I'm maybe slightly impartial to the title of the track since Toulouse is my favorite city in europe. The track could suck and I would probably share it anyways. Couple other beats for those of you celebrating family day (Provincial holiday in Ontario) on the internet listening to tunes. May your family day be glorious!

Is It A Moose?

2012-02-19T17:48:00.000-05:00

Of course not, it's an Elk. Congratulations to two of my great friends Dane & Courtney for tying the knot yesterday and a great wedding. I got to play around with a Digital SLR camera and realized that I need to get a Nikon D90 in the worst way, you can take some real swanky pictures. It is nearly as much fun to play with as mixing, I can see a new hobby coming on to keep up the tradition of a family of photographers. You can check out some of my grandma's work at www.edittasherman.com . My boy Martin got a great shot of my girlfriend and I with this sweet looking Elk.

As for some tunes for this I can never get tired of the sample used in this short flubba ''Zanzibar' track. You'll know what I'm talking about when you hear it, it's a dandy. Another great Exploited release coming, a Tensnake remix amongst a few other gems.

I Love It

2012-02-18T12:05:00.000-05:00

New Louisahhh!! This Mantis track has a mean deep groove, its pretty killer giv'r a go until she gives something back. Sean Miller's Canibal Royal has a very different sound that is funky in it's own way. I usually wouldn't have given this a chance but something clicked and it's got a a little bit of je ne sais quoi.

On a different note, find a girl and dance with her tonight, she will appreciate your candid approach to dealing with the situation and if she reciprocates with some sweet dance moves of her own just keep on dancing because it's the obvious thing to do.

Music You Can Bite Into

2012-02-17T17:50:00.000-05:00

I'm really excited to see that Filtertypen got a EP coming out on Made To Play, I feel like it was only yesterday that I was listening to 'After Laughter' on repeat. Diplo's got a new EP coming out, 'The Birds The Word' being the b-side but I love the original so this is definitely the better track for me. This should be an epic weekend as my bird & spic are both in town and a great friend is getting married. Hope you all have a great weekend, support an artist and buy some music.

Monster Dance Party

2012-02-15T20:57:00.001-05:00

J Paul Getto are doing a lot of great things these days, check out an original and a great remix amongst a slew of some other great music. I've really fallen off the disco/filter house map lately but this might be the right thing to come along to get me back on track with what's going on. I'm secretly hoping some friends somewhere have some money and want to invite me to go to WMC this year. So many great shows are starting to book, my favorite being a Made To Play party that was just announced with an incredible lineup.

I've put together a little mix last week with some of my favorite tracks from the last month and what I've been supporting. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it. It's got a couple classics sampled like Wu Tang, Madonna & Black Box. Show some love and share it with your friends, they will appreciate it.

Happy Snowy Saturday People! Little bit of something for everyone here, couple good french/disco house tracks, some really good moombahton and preview from a couple local producers Hatiras & A-Divizion.

Raising your hands in the air as if Jesus was a breakdancer himself. New Marble Music release is pretty sick, but overall all of these are pretty tight. I feel like every day that goes by, the releases coming since the Christmas holidays are getting better and better. You can tell that people are really getting back to work, and the rest of us will reap the benefits. Support a producer & buy some music today.

I wish I had some spare cash for a couple EP's right now. I would pick up Claptone's 'Cream' EP, Pop & Eye's 'Toil For Olive Oyl' EP and Discoshit's 'Strike a Pose' EP. Happy Superbowl People!

Eat Your Veggies

2012-01-30T22:17:00.001-05:00

A couple brilliant house/tech tracks to share with you this snowy Monday evening. My favorite is probably this Claptone EP coming out on Exploited. Both 'Creme' & 'Good To You' are really funky tracks that I'll probably go back to time and time again. I've also posted a pair of Zombie Disco Squad remixes/edits that are dance floor worthy.

A new label's caught my attention in 'Leftroom Records'out of London that is getting ready to release it's 7th EP next month and so far the releases they've put out are real solid. I especially like the previews for Romulus Schwarz recent release as it really cool funky tech track with a really cool guitar sample.

This Is Our Universe On Drugs

2012-01-29T12:47:00.000-05:00

What ah gwan people? I had a quiet night last night and it was well worth it as I feel like a million bucks today. I've been giving dupstep a second chance lately and I still don't get it. I can't figure out why or how Skrillex is relevant. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike his music but I fail to understand why there is so much love for wobble sounds. The more mainstream it gets and the more I feel bad for grandparents that are forced to listen to it in cars with their grandchildren. I can't imagine growing up listening to artists like Elvis, The Beatles, U2, Nirvana, Coldplay and now being pestered by your children or grand children to listen to Avicii's 'Levels' remixed by Skrillex. Happy Pro-Boll day!

Party Faux Pas

2012-01-28T13:54:00.000-05:00

What's the biggest 'dick' move someone can pull at a house party? Going into someone's bedroom and stealing a pair of MacBooks from a couple students of course. What the fukk? Seriously man, not cool. He or she has a truck load of bad karma coming there way, and when the karma truck runs them over it will stop and go in reverse & back over them to make sure they get the message. Why don't these hardware manufacturers give users the ability of shutting down the hardware remotely if it is spotted online and it's a registered the product? I feel like this would be a real good selling point and maybe people would stop stealing laptops if they couldn't be used. Shame on you apple for sitting on billions of dollars in cash and not implementing something to protect your loyal customers.

On a musical note a really cool Dcup rework of 'Someone I used to know' that I'm digging this morning. Wishing I had Ducksauce's - Mandolay in 320 to put on repeat and let it play out for a couple hours. That's all i got for this grey wintery Saturday in 2012.

Really dig'n this Booty Clap track I heard on a Brodinski / Gesaffelstein set. New NT89 remix, LOL Boys bootleg, Biggy rework & a collaboration with Boys Noize & Oizo that go by the name of ' Handbraekes'. Steve Dogs is into them, so should you.

Lemonade

2012-01-17T19:08:00.000-05:00

This is one of the coolest vinyl covers I've yet to see. I love it, I wonder if anyone makes round picture frames? Nearly as awesome as this &Me or Jokers of the Scene previews. Hope all is fine this Tuesday evening. I've decided to play around with a little more electro / dubstep lately for fun, not sure where it will lead but gives me something very fresh to diversify my habits. I'm always drawn back to that 4am house sound, if you don't know what I'm talking about listen to Prince Club & Poupon's latest trac 'Platinum', they know what I'm talking about.

Gary Beck got it right with 'Diva', something about this makes me want to bop my head. I feel like making a mix this week and calling it 'Songs I would listen to if I were on a sinking cruise ship'. Or maybe 'Music to Tebow too'. Hope you kids had a fun weekend, don't forget to let the music take control.

The last episode of the Sound Pellegrino podcast to close out 2011 was brilliant. I discovered this really cool series of EP's by unknown/secret artists on the Rootz label worth checking out. The not so secret is out that dOp did the hard knock bootleg on Rootz07 which is a brilliant track.
