Tuesday, December 16th, 2008Really? It’s kind of hard to go wrong with a line-up like this, and if “Gifted” doesn’t get you hooked, then I’m sure one of the tracks from N.A.S.A’s upcoming release (Feb. 17th) will…just check the guest appearances. Can’t wait…
The Spirit of Apollo
1. Intro
2. The People Tree (ft. David Byrne, Chali 2na, Gift […]
New Hudson Mohawke EP due January 2009
Thursday, December 4th, 2008In honor of Hudson Mohawke’s new EP Polyfolk Dance and his recent singing, Warp Records is offering an advance copy of “Polka Dot Blues” for free! A playful track with a crunchy drums and synth stabs, it is what I would imagine a mix of Jay-Z’s “Hard Knock Life” and the theme […]
Gang Gang Dance at Music Hall of Williamsburg Friday night
Thursday, November 27th, 2008I’m hoping most of you actually do take a listen to the mixes by Vibes and Stuff that I post, because he has a knack for picking great music. Gang Gang Dance who was featured on his November ‘08 Selection is no different. A band based out of NY with a sound that […]
Flying Lotus’ L.A. EP 2×3 out tomorrow!
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008Featuring remixes by Samiyam, Nosaj Thing, Mike Slott, and my new favorite Martyn, from his 2008 release Los Angeles, you know Flying Lotus‘ L.A. EP 2×3 is bound to be something special. Check out a couple snippets below…then buy the album tomorrow!
School of Seven Bells
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008I cannot stop listening to Alpinisms, the full length debut release of Brooklyn based School of Seven Bells (thanks again Andrew!). A record laden with dreamy pop and echoing guitar chords, it’s the heavenly harmonies of twin sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza that give the album an almost other worldly feel. They are […]
Lykki Li “Little Bit” (Aether remix)
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008So it has taken me awhile to jump on the Lykke Li bandwagon, probably because she has been everywhere I look in the blog sphere. Well, I’m not going to deny it anymore, because her album is growing on me more and more every day. As of late, I had especially been taken […]
The Cell Theory
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Ok, this post might be a little biased considering I do have a slight (ok, maybe huge) crush on Taylor McFerrin, however it doesn’t make his side project, The Cell Theory any less reputable. I got to catch them over the summer in Prospect Park and it was awesome. Having live drums and […]
The Beat Doctor
Monday, October 13th, 2008There is nothing that I could say that would do justice to Depth’s rework of Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “Aguas De Marcos”. As an avid fan of Bossa Nova, this song hit the spot. Depth has said his music is about “living life, love, and longing”, and citing “folk, pre-fusion spiritual jazz, African high […]
Martina Topley-Bird at the Les Creatives Festival
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008Time permitting, I would love to take the hour long trip to Geneva to check out Martina Topley-Bird at the Les Creatives Festival in November. Topley-Bird first crashed onto the music scene in 1995 on Tricky’s “Maxinquaye”, creating quite a stir amongst the then pop-conservatives. On her sophomore album “The Blue God”, released […]
Micachu
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008So I’m totally in love with Micachu and The Shapes “Golden Phone” track that Vibes and Stuff had on his September mixtape. London continues to be a hotbed for music right now, and this young lady proves it. It’s definitely an acquired taste, with funky off-kilter sounds, but it’s a great listen. […]
