JT - Kaskade Remix - Being a Dhead

Hey Gang - Kinda crazy over here right now and I'm still in the throws of hosting/entertaining family for the holidays. The below video was too funny not to post and the Kaskade remix of JT is for the ladies... enjoy, and I should be back soon with more of the goods...



Justin Timberlake - Lovestoned (Kaskade Mix) by Kaskade

Silver Coloms - Brow Beaten (Disco of Doom Remix)

this song is utterly rediculous... can be annoying at times but irresistible the next minute. I was driving home from a day up in Tahoe and was completely spaced out on the road when the crazy synths build up snapped me out of it and took over my body



RCRD LBL's sums it up pretty nicely here: the synths are ludicrous, helter-skelter synths that build to a point where they sound like they're about to collapse off the side of a building with vertigo, before woozily climbing back down. You hear them a lot, but that's understandable, as they're essentially as close as anyone's ever gonna get to turning drug anxiety into sound.

dont fight it and play that shiz LOUD!!!

Bonus:

Sweaters - Cant Stop Winning

feeling a little sluggish from the holidays...
Can't Stop Winnin' - Sweaters by Drewtewksbury

Juju - The Moonlight

On the eve of Christmas, I was planning on throwing together a couple of gems for everyone and label the post Stocking Stuffers. I had to sideline that idea when I finally was able to find enough information about Juju, an instrumentalist/beatmaker from Holland with the incredibly gorgeous track that incorporates elements of Claude Debussy's Clair De Lune


Juju - The Moonlight

With some more digging, I learned that Juju is offering instrumental album for here at his record label's bandcamp. You can preview/stream below and click on link to get free copy. Highly encouraged listening. Lush arrangements steeped in a classical background coupled with trip hop/DJ shadowesque beats. Merry Christmas Kids!

Bon Iver - Skinny Love (Das Kapital Remix)

Bon Iver is so good, but usually I'm looking for something with a little more bite. Enter Das Kapital, the communist dj from South Africa with his remix of Skinny Love.

Pacific - Narcissus (Alan Braxe Remix)

This Pacific! remix is incredible... i'm almost at a loss of words. Its like the song automatically makes you feel cool while listening to it... if this song was part of your soundtrack of life, you would dust this puppy off for special moments when you feel like you just totally owned it...

Pacific! Narcissus (Alan Braxe Remix) OFFICIAL DOWNLOAD by Vulture Music

Pacific! is the sun-kissed, blissed-out creation of Bjorn Synneby and Daniel Hogberg – two childhood friends Sweden. Synneby and Hogberg have been working on their delicately crafted pop-not-pop songs with a distinct sound that seems to hark back and look forward simultaneously. West-Coast, Baroque, Daft Punk, Beach Boys – you could mention any one of these in the same breath, yet Pacific!’s sound remains unmistakably their own.

The above rmx is by the dude that runs the label they hang their hat on (vulture records aka alan braxe) - insanely good stuff! oh wait, the remix below is insanely good too! This time Pacific! is remixing the UK band Kyte...

Alec Troniq - Windspiel Sampler

This one takes some time... give it a little room and let this one build. Has some nice piano interludes, some spacey vocals reminiscent of AIR, maybe a few scitars... its builds and stalls and builds and stalls until around minute for and you can't contain it any more...

Jamie Woon - In the Night Air

this tune will grow onto you through a slow burn until you realize its absolutely stunning and youre having an out of body experience...My personal fav is the Ramadanman refix which adds a little more house step and the Normski remix is deece & free.

Best of Elliott Smith Mixtape

Came across this nicely arranged Elliott Smith mixtape by Neoteric and couldn't help but pay it forward... enjoy!

The Best Of Elliott Smith (Arranged by Neoteric) by Neoteric

The Best of Elliott Smith (Mixed by Neoteric: www.djneoteric.com)

As DJs, many times we put together sets for others. This time I wanted to put something together for myself, for whenever the mood happened to hit. This isnt a DJ mix in the traditional sense, it flows more like a radio show or concert. These songs have been the soundtrack to some memorable times in my life, and I wanted to compile this collection for my own listening, but I know the thousands of fans of the late Elliott Smith will appreciate this too. I added some dialogue and interview clips, and tried to find a good flow to mix, and group similar songs together by mood and theme. The music might seem emo and moody to some, but that wasnt what drew me to it. The melodies caught me, and have stayed stuck in my head for years. Melody was kind of Elliotts thing, and he often cites the Beatles as one of his main influences. I'm quite aware his music is sometimes the soundtrack of the downtrodden, and those struggling with life, and all its temptations, but it's also for the music lovers, such as myself who appreciate his undeniable creativity and songwriting. I don't think I've ever heard an artist who could express the extremes of happiness and sadness, both so well.

Rest In Peace Elliott Smith.

When I Grow Up

Gotta hand it to the Swedes... Just listened to Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit's cover of Fever Ray's When I Grow Up and was really stoked... see for yourself.

First Aid Kit - When I Grow Up (Fever Ray Cover)
When I Grow Up by First Aid Kit

And if you're feeling more adventourous, below is Fever Ray's original (and weird, but it fits well with her style) video to accompany. Fever Ray is Karin Dreijer Andersson, one half of the Knife, who is another great act that was originally brought to my attention after discovering another Swedish/Argentine Folk gem by Jose Gonzalez, who did an incredible cover of the Knife's song Heartbeats.
