When In Rome

If you are a fan of Phoenix you are going to simply love this track. This remix of Rome by Devendra Banhart (I have no idea who this is but after listening to this track I want to know more) is incredibly beautiful and haunting. The remix went up on the band's blog a few days ago and now I am posting it here.

It is simply amazing.

Black and Blue

I had a great weekend visiting the lovely town of Isla Vista. Friday night was a great party thrown by some promising young DJs. Sick music. But in the meantime some new tunes for you to get your dance on.


Miike Snow has had another one of their tracks remixed. This time by Tiga. This is quite simply some delicious electro. I'll let the track speak for itself.

Thanks to RCRD LBL for hosting this one.

Dance Baby Dance

The boys are back! Chromeo has returned with a new single from their brand new album Night By Night. They haven't released anything new since 2007 so this is some good news for any fan of Chromeo. Follow the link to the website where you can sample the funky 80's guitar that laces this track.

Chromeo- Night by Night

Emil & Friends has another song. You can go along and add it to the list of songs named after girls. It's a funky little jam. Listen for the subtle guitar at the very end of the track. I really want Emil & Friends to release a full album already. If you haven't grabbed the Downed Economy EP do yourself a favor and get it.


Emil & Friends- Josephine

I Feel It

DJ Tiësto will be releasing his new studio album Kaleidoscope on October 6th. The new album features vocals from a range of guests including Nelly Furtado, Calvin Harris, and the twins Tegan and Sara.

Speaking of which the track Feel It In My Bones is a sick sick jam. Wait for it around the 2:55 mark. Sends chills down my spine. The twins' vocals match with Tiësto's production seamlessly. Not surprising considering he has remixed the twins before. Definitely check it out. It's awesome. I am very excited to see what this album has in store.

Tiësto will be going on a world tour after the release of this album. I highly recommend checking him out if you can.

I Haven't Vanished

The blog is not dead. I was just pondering my next move. I kept getting my posts deleted by blogspot telling me I was violating copyright law. Anyhow I have decided to try and stay away from posting anything mainstream (as those posts are the ones that vanish) and stick to the smaller names and track samples. So let's see how long this lasts.

So I present the first new sample of music in many a month.



The group is called The Vanish. They hail from the Big Apple. The song is called Heartbeat. The track is pretty catchy with a nice little buildup in the beginning that leads into some buttery lyrics and then the whole thing drops. Cue heart thumping.

The Vanish- Heartbeat

Don't Miss The Train

I apologize again for the lack of updates, but life has been hectic, my musical exploration has been a bit slow, I have been going to the beach a lot, and I am taking a summer class. All this and more has seriously slowed down the amount of updates. But, here is a new entry that I hope you all enjoy.

Remember Garden State? Remember Frou Frou? Remember the lead singer of that group Imogen Heap? Remember Hide and Seek? Imogen Heap's new album will be released next month, and she has released this beautiful preview for the world to hear. I am in love with her voice, and I remember how Hide and Seek was remixed like crazy. I can't wait to see what people do with this new song.


"What matters to you, doesn't matter to me..."

Imogen Heap- First Train Home

As a bonus here is DJ Tiesto's excellent remix of Hide and Seek.

Imogen Heap- Hide and Seek (Tiesto Remix)

So for some reason blogspot keeps deleting my posts. I got an e-mail saying I am breaking copyright law for putting up the new DeadMau5 track. WTF? I mean these days the internet is the greatest tool to promote new tracks and artists.

I am sending them an inquiry, and once I figure this out I'll resume posting new stuff.

The King is Dead

No, not Elvis, but The King of Pop aka Michael Jackson is dead.

August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009

Yes folks, that crazy genius is finally gone. The radio has been on fire with Michael Jackson tracks as each station pays tribute to the man who brought us the moon walk, made the crotch grab the sexiest thing since sliced bread, and played the Scarecrow in The Wiz. Rest in peace you crazy fuck. I hope for your sake you didn't molest those children otherwise the afterlife will not be pleasant. Ha!



In the spirit of all things M.J. Here's a remix of Thriller by DiscoTech. It's a good one.

Michael Jackson- Thriller (DiscoTech Remix)

By the way who remembers Captain EO?





Does the death of Michael Jackson mean there will be some incredibly sick M.J. remixes being blasted at EDC? I sure hope so!

I apologize for the lack of updates. I have just been super busy with life and the mental preparation of EDC. Some new stuff coming shortly. I promise.
