Rainbows of Death

Rainbows of Death huh?!?! Electronic acts continue to get weirder and weirder... Is it some sort of marketing formula or is is it just weirdbeard style? Listen to this gem and you be the judge... Fortunately, I did all the heavy lifting and spared you from all the creepy stuff that comes up when you google the phrase... including conspiracy theories or death metal websites. ThIS Rainbow of Death is from Aussieland and they do have a Facebook page, which describes the duo as a black guy and a white guy plus a couple of synths creating Nu Disco & House... good work ROB.

Really good stuff, especially when Anoraak gets thrown into the mix.

Trip Down Memory Lane: The Bloody Beetroots

Back in my burgeoning electronic phase, I stumbled across these guys and became instantly hooked... Justice had come out with their catchy D.A.N.C.E. track and hard core electronic music was reaching its tipping point... BB somehow took it to the next level and I ingeniously was able to convince Savannah to go with me to a BB concert with Felix Cartel as the opener and LA Riots at the Roxy

we'll start off a track for the small minded, a little more friendly for everyone...
Steve Aoki - The Killers - Spaceman (Steve Aoki & The Bloody Beetroots Remix)

Next up is straigh Bloody FIRE! pure electro party rager circa 2008
The Bloody Beetroots - Butter (EP Version)
but sometimes its more fun to watch a video of epic surf footage and epic electro party jams... wait for the BB goodness to kick in around 1:06min

PRESS PAUSE from ian MOURIER on Vimeo.

This one is a newbie, but a goodie... The Bloody Beetroots, after a lot of initial success, got lost in the burgeoning genre and spent a lot of their time creating rowdy garbage... so its nice to hear a new track of theirs reminiscent of their original material.
The Chemical Brothers - Dissolve (The Bloody Beetroots Remix)

Last up is quite possibly the most intense song you'll ever cross paths with... fun to creep out friends or add to a halloween mix... tread lightly!
Proxy - Who Are You? (Bloody Beetroots Remix With Voices)

RCRDLBL Pilfering #2 - Huge List

Gonna try something a little different this time. I'm going to put some of the more indie alternative tracks in the front, hoping that ppl won't immediately get turned off by my weirder tastes...

Cold War Kids - Louder than ever


Voxhaul Broadcast - Leaving on the 5th (Jump Clubb remix) --- reminiscent of a Miike Snow production. Totally enjoyable


Has some sort of distorted gospel soul BRMC meets Black Keys... grimy funky pop music featuring Wale as well as hand claps and infectious breaks. Never thought I would be saying this, but good work Samantha Ronson...?!!?


White Buffalo - Oh Darlin, What have I done - Wiskey tavern folk/rock for those who aren't familiarThis brings me back to the TLand days...


Tame Impala (Pilooki Remix)


sounds a little Feisty... like it might end up on an ipod commercial - remixed by RAC(remix artist collective) who often times add interesting elements to songs without completely destroying the original integrity - good work guys...


Sunday Girl vs Rusko - Hey Stop - posted for Nick


Claire Maguire - Aint Nobody (Coyote Remix) - Whoa... I feel like I'm getting transported back to a Fleetwood Mac concert


Dels - Trumpalump (Joe Goddard Remix) - JG is the frontman for Hot Chip... so you know its gonna be good.


Das Racist - I'm Up on That --- These guys are awesome... clever, funny, witty and fresh. Atmosphere raps meets Beck inspired spoken word by Middle Eastern dudes


MJ? JT? nope... Penguin Prison with a nice poppy gem. His sound should eventually get some radio play...


How many artists can you squeeze into one track? I'm not a fan of spankrock or amanda blank... but fortunately Shazam rescues this one with some grooved out retro piano synths and overall laid back interpretation.


again.. not that stoked on spankrock... but when he's getting remixed by Todd Edwards, who chops, twists and distorts everything... I love it.


Annorak - Try Me (Jupiter Remix) - this can transform your bedroom into the island beach bar or at least add a little bit pep to your lovelorn step.


Chemical Brothers - Dissolve (the Bloody Beetroots remix) - These guys absolutely destroy shiz... and they don't hold back on this one.


UK Grime Meets UK MC meets UK Dubstep... heavy... sounds like a Dizzy wannabe behind the mic. whatevs... I like it


Oneohtrix Point Never - Returnal (ft Anthony Hegarty)(Blixaboy Futurna Freemix) --- ambient atmospheric reminiscent of a radiohead track


Blixaboy - New Age Steppa --- ambient haunting gorillaz styled dub - really good and weird!


interesting... not for the faint of heart



pure techno weirdbeardness with the electronic music Godfathers, Simian Mobile Disco... seriously, go buy their Attack Destroy Sustain Release and you will not regret (don't listing to this song as a point of reference) - Strap into your electric chair and let this one fry your brain (jay raymond, i think you'll like this one...)


irresistable 80's style groove...

Vegetables

Got a lot of stuff going on right now... chewing through a new round of music and should have some good posts up in the near future. In the meantime, enjoy these nutritous vids of weirdos using veggies to make mediocre music...



This next one sounds almost like the Godfather's theme song

Temper Trap Remixed...

First off... Temper Trap's Conditions is a great album. There is also a Conditions Remixed, which takes to album to a whole nother level after commissioning other artists to roll up their sleeves, get dirty and remix the orginal songs. Noteworthy is Kings of Convenience's album Versus, which did the same thing albeit nine years ago (and still incredible today)

As a starter, we'll begin with the original track to give everyone a foundation. For the indie purists out there, the original may be preferable. Its a great track but a little too slow for my alrady acclimated to crazy shiz musical brain.

The Temper Trap - Soldier On by bananacakes

Next up is the same track, this time under the helm of Rusko, who instinctually set the mood for a little sensual dance moves (I imagine Nick & Miller both working a dimly lit room full of girls with their dance moves((noteworthy is chromeo's music video for Night by Night doing exactly that - Chromeo - Night by Night)<-- highly recommended viewing))

Soldier On (Ruskos F'kin Seagull Remix).mp3 by Zucco

Lastly, and what I really want to share with all of you, is the same song remixed by an artist who needs a little more love, Big City Love Affair. By not taking quite so much artistic liberty allows BCLA to really draw on what really makes the song in the first place. Preserving the intimacy, a little less production and a little more step to keep the listener interested.

Soldier On by BCLA

Bonus: another TT track remixed by Keljet, who sucessfully captains this spaceship into a galaxy of rythmic house, groovy guitar riffz and infectious house... loving it.

Love Lost (Keljet Remix)
The Temper Trap - Love Lost (Keljet Remix) by keljet

Miami Horror

This song just came on my ipod and I had a flashback to Malibu beach parties and awesome times in Santa Monica circa 08-09, which in turn inspired this impromtu post...Its hard to explain how good this song is and I'm not feeling that creative right now. Just trust me... Miami Horror started off remixing songs and have since graduated to making their own infectious Austrailian electronic pop...

Faker - This Heart Attack (Miami Horror Remix) by Jixxy

What is a scene?

A cultural music lesson with White Light

What makes a scene? Today, the internet seems to break all geographical barriers, not making it hard for anybody with a laptop to duplicate what they heard on a website. So does that mean we are left with a totally homogeneous sound that lacks variety? Luckily, I think that locale still determines the type of style and sound. Here are a few quick examples

LA Hip Hop
Take - Horizontal Figuration Tokimonsta Remix by TOKiMONSTA

Erick Rincon is a teenager making this hyped up cumbia called 3ball (tribal). This stuff, I assume, goes nuts at underage house parties in his hometown of Monterey, Mexico.


Machine gun ragga or dirty arab garage is maybe the best way to describe this magic.

Spaced Out Music - Might be a little overwhelming for some...

I love spaced out music but often have a hard time finding the right spot for them in a playlist or mixtape... They usually surface all of the sudden and totally kills my buzz... whats that you say? you know the feeling?!!?

That's why i created a little playlist specifically for these awesome (seriously... they're awesome) tracks. Perfect for long drives, contemplation, day dreams, naps, journaling, reading?, studying, sophisticated parties...

suggested consumption: download all of them, put them on a cd, listen to ever track fully at least 3 times (don't skip) to allow full immersion. Then listen one more time, write me a love letter on facebook or below, and then support the artists.

Friday Post

typically I lead off my Friday posts with some sort of Party James for everyone to groove to over the weekend... Sorry to let all my followers down, but we're taking a slightly different angle on this friday post, cause I'm going to do a little fly fishing this evening! Instead of my usual routine of finding the most radical tunes and getting super pumped up for my suburban partying, I have sourced a couple upbeat folky treasures for your weekend... I'm moving to the country!

Radiolab - my inner nerd

I can't help it but share with you all... Radiolab is the most interesting radio program I've ever encountered, is like mr Toad's wild ride through philosphy and science in an accessible and light-hearted manner... perfectly packaged presented with a distinctive audio production style.

It's like crack for your intellect... hour-long episodes with stories, interviews, and thought experiments approaching broad topics from mulitple angles. The knowlege you learn and stories you hear are seared into your brain out of pure interest and its impossible to forget. really fascinating stuff.

Insanely good content for those that are interested...



Oh yeah, all of their content is available for free through their Itunes podcast channel.

This beast of of mix will transport you to the sweatiest clubs in Latin America... IF you enjoyed this as much as I did, show White Light some love!

DeerHunter

DeerHunter has been owning my playlists right now. Their new cd came out late september and created quite a stir in the blogosphere with their "helicopter". some of you might be aware of the lead singer's side project, Atlas Sound...

A lush interpretation of an already perfect jam...

Deerhunter - Helicopter (Diplo & Lunice mix) by maddecent
Deerhunter - Helicopter (Diplo & Lunice Remix)

starting off reeeaaaally mellow, maybe we'll work up to something...? Just give it a moment to work its magic, let the sidechain compression (reverbesk) kick build and BOOOOMM! Something completely takes over your ears with this lush tropical jam that combos perfectly with DH's silky smooth vocals.

A little overwhelming for the uninitiated... Its ok. Check out the original and you'll find your place...

Helicopter - Deerhunter by musicmanners

brb

i promise I'll be back soon... just a little hectic right now...

in the meantime... try to wrap your head around these guys... Salem is creating their own genre of tripped out blair witch project style grime... eerie & mysterious yet intriging.

nite cap - le loup

so i'm making a little road tripping music to drive to Napa with my folks... and came across this beauty. It takes a while to build and grow, but be patient and let the harmonies build around 1min and the subtle piano notes layer, and vocals come about 1:45 and you should be won over... and before you know it, its vanished and you'll have to push replay.

Le Loup - Planes Like Vultures http://www.box.net/shared/atpfg1pe7l

show em some love at: http://www.leloupmusic.net/

and to balance that one out with something that will make your bottom boogie a little - you will find this one addicting

Touch Sensitive - Body Stop http://www.box.net/shared/3q5h2vin6x

Cee Lo Green - DJ Madness Mixtape

Cee Lo G's been making some waves as of late... not that he doesn't deserve all of it... I featured his insanely catchy "F**k You" a little while ago, which has since been ingeniously re-tooled for the radio into "Forget You"... Well, I had this mixtape that DJ Madness compiled a couple months ago and I sat on it...

Now that I've given it a couple of listens, I can't help but share... This mix is SICCCK! Goodie Mob, Outkast, Gnarls Barkley and Cee Lo G all mixed up through 44 tracks for 80 minutes of glory. I suggest downloading the track separated zip file, but it will require a little more work (ie downloading, adding to itunes, creating a playlist and organizing)

Back from Houseboating - Mega Post!

Had a little extra time on my hands and thought I would post a couple of the weekends musical highlights...

Start it off with some Graffiti6 and their impossibly catchy summer tune
http://www.box.net/shared/qq328cnz6p
show em some love at: http://www.myspace.com/graffiti6

Meader into a dubby reggae infused Rusko track that even your mother could enjoy... http://www.box.net/shared/mufoi788uu

Whoa! Rusko's taking over my post right now. This guy is seriously addicting... although this time he's getting a particulary nasty remix by SubFocus. let is sink in and it will get you to the core... http://www.box.net/shared/hvxe2t5lmz

the funky drop at 1:06 gets me every time... reminiscent of the ever-memorable rabid warthog break-down in Joakim's remix of SMD's "Hustler" a while back?...
Simian Mobile Disco - Hustler (Joakim Remix)
this song might completely give you the wierded out chillys... but the original is pure style and this remix is timeless!!!

last song before we go off on some beat making craziness... Dada Life - two swedes creating some Maximal goodness and breathing new life into a relatively unknown Austrailian act.
http://www.box.net/shared/qp30vk4lf8

Lastly, BoomBaptist creates the equivalent of crack cocaine for beats... and has a cool pay what you want for his goods approach...



And if your feeling really adventurous... Caveat audiens...

Care for a Danish?

I'm not sure how I managed to encounter this electronic/pop jam infused with classical elements, but I'm glad I did and I hope you do too. Not a raving firestarter or something overly catchy... but if you give it a chance and let it ebb and flow, it will win you over... Around minute four I started the song over because the catchiness sneaks up on you


Unfortunately my blog won't support the Danish player provided on the website, however clicking on the link will direct you to mixtoverderner.dk and will cue the song in the player, which you will then be able to download if you like!
http://www.mixtoverdener.dk/#/436169/?play_id=305909

From what I was able to gather, Bjarke Niemann is an artist who usually plays as part of Spleen United, although it this case, he was commissioned by some alchemistic Danish website that offers a classical song on a monthly basis to an artist community with the intents of mixing that shiz together and creating something beautiful.

I'm really pleased with the outcome and over the period of this write up, have fortunately found a couple more that are worth a listen.

Pre-Weekend Grab Bag

Gotta keep this post short and to the point... new music to try out over the weekend. I thought it would be fun to sprinkle a couple completely different songs that I have enjoyed throughout the week.

Ray LaMontange - picture perfect... I love RL... - link removed until further notice...

Zero 7 - super good, and I can always enjoy Sia's vocals and Z7's magic... - link removed until further notice...

Health (remixed by LittleLoud) - - link removed until further notice...

SomethingALaMode - the most poppy of the group. very fun song... - link removed until further notice...


Mr.Hudson(Rusko Remix) - voted weirdest of the post, but give it a couple listens and it'll grow on you major - link removed until further notice...

Bonus Nugget: Jamiroquai!? - link removed until further notice...
- Reminiscent of Chromeo... but came before them... interesting

This OG Kid is Keeping it REAL!

The message: Be You...

Warning... this song is somewhat of a guilty pleasure and I never thought i would put it up on the blog... but it follows up the video nicely. Enjoy!

B.o.B - Haterz Everywhere (Subvader Remix) by Subvader

Evenings - Free EP

A Party in the Making

Right around now... maybe a little earlier, I'm starting to think about the perfect weekend mix... The recipe will depend on the forseen events. Without knowing what my weekend has in store, these three will definately be included. I am tickled to present a new Bag Raiders track! You might recall the most epic party jam of 2009, "Shooting Star"? maybe? If not, I added it below for those a little behind the curve...
Bag Raiders / Way Back Home by reesindiemusic

Download Link

B.R. set the bar unreachably high with Shooting Star... Instead of trying to top it, it appears they reinvented themselves into what I thought would be Cut Copy's follow up album... Their timing has been perfect because Cut Copy appears to be reinventing themselves as some sort of electronically infused Beatles... It all gets a little confusing, but the moral of the story is that the Austrailian Electronic scene is a complete orgy of creativity... and is full-tilt radical right now. I couldn't resist to put this song on the blog... because it has inspired countless dance parties with just me and Savannah and deserves to be spread to the four corners...
Bag Raiders / Shooting Stars by reesindiemusic

I've been marinating a number of Fenech-Soler tracks as of late and really enjoying their music... then I crossed paths with MudgeMix Favorite Alex Metric's remix of an Fenech-Soler track and it left me speechless... Seriously got sweaty by listening to it!!!! Patience is a virtue and its fruits will be reaped approx 2 minutes into this Beast of a song... After an intense build up, this track UNLEASHES in true Metric style with pianos, the echoed vocals, the computer bleeps... Without further ado... enjoy!
