Fakers - Nightswimming

Just found two posts that I wrote a few months ago, so here you go. This Re-Edit is my favorite mix in recent memory. Kissy Sell Out throws the Bmore style on this REM track, giving it a new energy. Kissy Sell Out is a DJ from London, with “one or two” remixes. REM is... wait should I even be telling you this?

Singles - Motorin'

This single by Seatle/Tacoma natives, The Saturday Knights, first came to my attention as a result of the snowboarding DVD Double Decade. Once I heard the beat I was hooked. I couldn't go around without humming it to myself. In addition, the music video makes me think of The Big Lebowski and all of the good things that go along with that.

Down for Maintenance

...on my computer. As in, recently I had a problem that caused the computer with all of my music to crash. I had most of that music backed up, but the stuff that wasn't was all the new stuff. So as of now, I am temporarily unable to do new posts. BUT! Hopefully that Roman kid will find it in his heart to get something up here soon enough. And as I leave you, I'll give you one last track that I really enjoyed. It's called "Alice" by Pogo, an Australian fellow who enjoys remixing audio from shows and movies into songs. This one is from Alice in Wonderland, and is something like 90% original audio from the animated classic itself. Watch the video first, then download if you find it to your liking.
Until next time.

Fischerspooner

Today, we will be transported back almost a decade to the late 90's/early 2000's. For some of us, Fischerspooner is a bit of flash of nostalgia. "Didn't they do that...'Never Win' song..? Or something?" Well, yes, as a matter of fact, they did. But that's not all they had to offer. They're an electroclash duo out of New York that definitely brings a unique sound to the table. At times the way the vocals pair with the synth sounds is reminiscent of Freezepop without the sugary-sweet aspect. But that's about where the similarity stops. Their songs definitely have a progression, and they definitely build. Comes out of nowhere sometimes, but if it's a surprise, it's certainly a pleasant one. So take these songs and give 'em a try.

SIngles - Moby

First things first, this blog is on a downturn. And while I am just as responsible as the fine folk we have as admins, I still point a blaming finger in their direction. Shame on you people! Let's get this thing back up and running, k? K.
Review time. I know that basically everyone on this blog knows Moby. Many are probably huge fans of the man's work. But this song I'm sticking up here today is, in my opinion, an instant classic- one that will stay alongside Porcelain and Southside in our memories. The thing is...it's a remix. A very talented remix by the talented Steve Angello (myspace here). But as such, this song is made to be blasted over speakers with sick bass. I predict its effeciveness peaks when at the end of a massive set; when everyone is high strung but tiring out, this would let them unwind and do just as much as they felt was appropriate. So while this is probably nothing new to you, I give you Raining Again (Steve Angello's Vocal Mix).
And over the next few days, I'm going to try and keep updating. I've got some free time to kill, after all. Hopefully my compatriats will join me.
