Reach For The Stars

I stumbled across these guys by accident while searching Myspace Music for new tunes. They call themselves Starlifters. According to Lastfm.com Starlifters is a a brand new french/filter house group out of Croatia. They have dropped their first EP. What is awesome is you can download the whole EP from their myspace for free by following the link they have at the top! Check these guys out. I am definitely digging what Starlifters is doing. I love finding music like this, and free music at that!

Here is a sample track off of the EP.

Starlifters- Club Night

Halloween After Party

Do You Want To Be The One?

I have been really lagging when it comes to sharing the new music I have been discovering. Life has been somewhat busy. I went and saw Kaskade last friday. I have Hard Halloween coming up where I will finally be seeing DeadMau5 and Justice amongst others. Then I will be seeing Tiesto in November. Not to mention school, midterms, work, friends, girlfriend, etc, etc. So I apologize for keeping you deprived, but I have a few good posts coming up with some stuff that may or may not be new to anyone who reads this blog.

But for now I'd like to introduce you all to Jack Peñate.


This brilliant musician/song-writer hails from the Blackheath, South London. If any of you were lucky enough to catch Miike Snow on tour then you most likely saw him play as well. I myself missed out on his performance, but I hear it's quite good. I hear he is constantly dancing around while playing his guitar. I read somewhere that he has trouble standing still and so he has to consistently move when performing.

Anyhow the music he churns out is quite refreshing and you can hear many different types of musical influences. He has released two albums. His most recent being Everything Is New. I've provided two tracks for your sampling pleasure.

Off With Your Head!

The blogosphere is on fire with the new remix of Heads Will Roll by The Yeah Yeah Yeah's. The producer behind this nasty remix? A-Trak. Just check out the remix, and watch out because heads will definitely be rolling.

Thanks to Disco Dust for providing a high quality version of this file.

Do You Rock Ghetto Socks?

Ghettosocks is a true hip hop artist from Nova Scotia. Although I am a fan of true hip hop I realize I haven't put many hiphop/rap tracks up. However, Ghettosocks is worth a listen for any fan of hip hop music. The beat is expertly crafted, and the flow is subtle yet packs a poetic punch. This track is off his upcoming album Treat Of The Day and I am definitely going to check it out when it drops.

Ghettosocks- Don't Turn Around

Bears In Mirrors

Minus The Bear is an indie rock band based out of Seattle, Washington. These guys have been around since 2001 and have released four full albums, and four EPs. Anyone who is a fan of good music should check these guys out. The band's new single Into The Mirror has been released in anticipation for their yet to be titled upcoming album. Definitely check it out. I highly recommend it.

Horror in Miami

Miami Horror is a 22 year old producer hailing from Melbourne, Australia (I am loving the music and consistency that is coming out from The Land Down Under). He has dropped some serious remixes as well as released an EP titled Bravado. If you have never heard of Miami Horror I seriously recommend this guy's work (itunes!). Its funky, its smooth, it'll make you shuffle your feet, and maybe even cause you to break out into dangerous dance.

His full length album is going to come sometime in the earlier part of 2010 and I am very excited. It's about time!

I discovered his new single on his myspace, but couldn't find an MP3 file to download for awhile. But, thanks to AsianDan I finally did.


Check out the new single.

Miami Horror- Sometimes

Bonus Remixes:

PNAU- Embrace ft. LadyHawke (Miami Horror & Fred Falke Remix). I love this track.

Miami Horror- Don't Be On With Her (Treasure Fingers Remix)

I Want an Horchata

The African music influenced college kids from Columbia are back. Vampire Weekend has released their new single Horchata from their upcoming album Contra. Listen to front man Ezra Koenig sing about drinking horchata in December. I was never really a big fan of Vampire Weekend, but I am digging this track.
