JJ



dont really know what to think of this newly pitchfork-hyped group besides it sounds like air france. the above song is essentially air france's remix of lollipop. the hook does get me though, something about being in a club and always on drugs.

Dimitri from Paris

Daily Entree

My recent music forays have led towards many different genres that weren't the mainstay of the blog early on. In my humble opinion (IMHO), dubstep and many other more sparse, minimalistic musical stylings are slowly beginning to dominate the electronic music scene. For example, the most impressive nu-disco I was hearing last year was very french/disco house-y with a nice uptempo feel. However, recent trends have even formed the once upbeat genre into a much more minimalistic styling best exemplified by tensnake's lastest EP. Whether or not this all coincides with looming 2012 is perhaps coincidence or maybe not. Here is a large sampling of what I have been listening to recently.

Also due to the zshare links, I would recommend downloading skipscreen to make the process a lot easier. For now on I will try to include genre definitions best as I can in order to let readers pick out what they want to listen to.

Coat of Arms- Nosaj Thing (Experimental hip-hop)
Parisian Goldfish- Flying Lotus (Experimental hip-hop)
In the End (I want to Cry)- Tensnake (Nu-disco/minimal)
Holding Back (My love)- Tensnake (Nu-disco/minimal)
Radiant Industry- Jamie Vex'd (dubstep)
Moth- Burial and Four Tet (dubstep/idm)

DUBSHIT

New Horrors


Who Can Say

The Horrors follow up their debut album with a pretty drastic change in sound. Perhaps it's the new production team that featured members of Portishead and other "critically acclaimed" groups, or maybe its their NME-hyped buzz was not exactly what the band was looking for. Regardless, Im digging the new sangle.

Mapei - Bad Bitch




Stockholm Sweden's baddest bitch Mapei is a natural on the mic. She raps and sings in front of heavy fat beats. She's been getting attention from many different camps, from electro fans to strict hip-hop heads. No matter what you are you should take a listen. Serious attitude, bad bitch, gotta love it.

Daft Punk to Score Tron 2.0?

via Pitchfork

Daft Punk might be writing the original score for Tron 2.0, Disney's sequel to the so-obsolete-it's-incredible 1982 evil computer movie, according to Upcoming Film Scores. This is such a perfect pairing, we hope against hope it's true. (Representatives for the band have yet to respond to requests for confirmation.)

The only way Tron 2.0 could suck is if it takes itself too seriously (always a concern for camp-cult remakes and sequels). It's directed by Joseph Kosinski (who's done lots of eye-melting CGI commercials like this one for Nike), written by "Lost" screenwriters Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, and stars "House"/"O.C." star Olivia Wilde and some dude named Garrett Hedlund, says The Hollywood Reporter. Jeff Bridges will also reprise his original role as super genius Kevin Flynn. The movie is currently being shot in Vancouver, British Columbia for a projected 2011 release date, according to IMDb.

80s nostalgia can get a bit toxic at times, so hopefully these Tron 2.0 guys can bring Tron into the future while retaining some of the past. You know what would be a great way to do that? Hiring Daft Punk to write the music. The Oscar performance will rule.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only way one could perceive this as a negative would be if Daft was in the studio recently for this instead of a studio album. While scoring this film would be awesome, Id much rather see a studio album than a suspect score from DP. Their ventures into film have been moderately successful (arguable I guess, I dont know how the critics viewed D.A.F.T., interstellar 555, and Electroma), but a studio album seems to be much more worthwhile for diehard DP fans.

You Don't Know What Love Is- 2000f and jKamata

Found this via Diplo's Pitchfork interview, track is bomb. Fuses a dubstep jam with some 80s funk vocoder shit.

New Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Link

My feelings are a little mixed on this new YYY's material. At first listen I was a little turned off by their new eletro-ish feel, but upon further listening it grew on me a bit. Cant wait to see the rest of the album,regardless, when it drops.

Vapesta's OFFICIAL Grammy Recap


Ridiculous. A personal highlight was Whitney Houston's defiant statement to the music world that she is back... on coke. A close runner-up was Chris Brown's absence from the ceremony amid reports that he beat up Rihanna (for the record, that's "beat up" in the Eminem sense, not the Ying Yang Twins' one). 

Need more? Google "Lil Wayne Jay Z nine months pregnant" or "Bono eye liner coked up" and look at all the fucking results.

Daddy's Back

Camron - I Hate My Job(Killa Is Back)

Killa's back after a year and a half of doing... well, nothing. Regardless, Cam brings the cheese on this jam. The dooty-rap pioneer goes working class in the song, an endearing gesture coming fro  the guy who wrote "Suck it or Not." Also, lookout for the girl sparking the blunt cobrastyle outside of her office less than a minute into the video.

Cam's forthcoming album, Crime Pays, drops (in a perfect world) on April 21.

I am a little bit of MSTRKRFT, a little bit of dubstep
Handful of drum kits but I can't help the fact
That everybody can see these tracks on zshare
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
To just believe this is synthesized
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and time to pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause you're all that I've got

-Linkin Park (RMX)


Sexy Results (MSTRKRFT Edition)- DFA 1979
Bel Amour (Original)- Bel Amour
Midnight Request Line- Skream
Fuckaz ft. Spaceape- The Bug
You're so Gangsta- Chromeo

Bloody Beetroots live ILOVETECHNO SET



Somebody needs to hype these guys more.

Daily Entree

Todays entree is essentially an ode to popular 60's and early 70'smusic. With a little help from Pitchfork as well as discogs I was able to delve into some much older tracks that have a much more sound generally than most of the electronic music posted here. The tracks range from the classic jazz of coltrane to the early blues rock of the Yardbirds. You can practically hear Clint Eastwood in Ennio's masterpiece soundtrack.

My Favorite Things- John Coltrane
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly- Ennio Morricone
Nina Simone- Sinnerman
For Your Love- The Yardbirds
Pressure Drop- Toots and the Maytals

Daily Entree

Drawing on some of the neo-disco artists I posted yesterday, today's entree opens with a nice remix of moby done by Holy Ghost!, who does in fact have one of the coolest dj symbol/graphic art (an altered Knicks logo). Following that is a nice Sedat track that I sniped from Louis la Roche's "keep french house alive" blog, the new KOC track, and an EDM-ish track that features some great synth work.


I love to move in here (Holy Ghost RMX)- Moby
Sunrise (Original Mix)- Sedat
Courage- Kings of Convenience
Blood- Francois Dubois

While previous entrees have featured more than one song, for this one I decided to put only one song for sheer effect. This remix of the white stripes is very un-white stripe-eqsue and features modified vocals of the White Stripe's hit song over an extraordinary funky house instrumental.

Seven Natio Army (Yung Punx RMX)-White Stripes

Sebastien Tellier - Kilometer (Dj A-Trak Remix)

Tellier's newest album Sexuality oozes sex grooves and synth laden melodies. This remix from Fool's Gold renaissance man A-Trak makes "Kilometer" more danceable with a fat analog synth bassline reminiscent of Daft Punk's Homework. Along with some disco string stabs and Tellier's raspy yet smooth vocals, this remix comes together and could prove to be one of the best in A-Trak's body of work.
