10/25/11 Wavelength of the Moment: DEEZ VIBEZ

GET IT???

I download a lot of music. So not all of it gets the listening attention it deserves, at least not immediately. But a select few of this past week's acquisitions managed to catch my ear, so here they are. Mostly chill/trip/downtempo electronica. Might try to make this "random batch" format a regular (weekly?) thing.


Paradise (3:33 Remix) - G-Side

Let's start with some atmospheric, impressively dark production work from 3:33. Best rap remix I've heard in a while.


An Iceberg Hurled Northward Through Clouds (Peaking Lights Vocal Remix) - Gold Panda

Man, do I love Gold Panda. He consistently puts out the most gorgeous, lush, beautiful productions. I've been listening to his album Lucky Shiner a lot lately. Peaking Lights throw in some reverb-washed vocals and dubbed-out experimental vibes on this stellar remix.


Luv Luv - Two Inch Punch

Got this gem from XLR8R, who got it from Two Inch Punch, who made it. #CAUSALITY


Still Sleeping ft. Steffaloo - Chrome Sparks

Chrome Sparks is the drummer for Stepdad, one of the most exciting synthpop acts around nowadays. He's also in the business of producing delicate, intricate electronic pop musics. Go grab his My <3 EP for FREE (though you can pay if you'd like), you won't regret it.


Video Games (Balam Acab Remix) - Lana Del Ray

Gorgeous remix by one of my new favorite producers, the Balam Acab. Ghostly vocals galore.


Waiter/The 5 Senses - Jeremih

D33J posted this to his facebook on a while back. Shameless boner jam, but it's got that tripped-out sex-in-space kind of vibe, which we here at CC are kind of into.

nebula - dr.dr.

Unbeknownst to most of y'all, I occasionally try my hand at making music. Mostly psychedelic ambient stuff for the time being, but I'm working on more beat-oriented things nowadays (even the occasional trip-pop track). Give me a Listen / Like / Follow if you dig!


~ ~ ~ ADDENDUM TO THE BONUS ~ ~ ~
One of our favorite producers, Asura, just did an XLR8R podcast. You have no excuses.

Jamz

oh hot damn.

So we can still claim to be a blog that posts at least ONCE a week, here are some jamz for y'all. As to be expected from us, there's something here for everybody...but we really really like electronic music. (patkins is on a classic american folk binge, so hopefully he'll share some of that with us soon if that's more your thing)

ENJOY!

Levels - Avicii

If you know the name Avicii, you're probably a fan of ANTHEMIC HOUSE MUSIC. Well, this one's getting a lot of love lately, so I figured it was worth a repost. Nice to see progressive house getting attention, despite its often..."flamboyant" nature. Grabbed this from Crescendo and Drop, go "Like" those guys if you've got facebook, they pump baller music straight to your newsfeed on the daily.

Cathode Drama - Exeter

This one's a neck-breaker. Absolutely killer beat from Exeter, found this one over at Unholy Rhythms, who import quality music into your tumblr feed on the semi-daily. See, we've got something for everybody!

Hold It Against Me (Radiex Remix) - Britney Spears

Trippy, sonically colorful dubstep in the vein of Skrillex. Interestingly, all of Radiex's album artwork (and his name, in fact) seems pretty similar to Skrillex. But he's a damn good producer, so I'll let it slide.

Stylo (Labrinth Remix ft. Tinie Tempah) - Gorillaz

Gah. Incredible remix. The intro is a bit meh, but that drop just slays you with pure swagger. And lord knows I love me my Gorillaz. Also found this at Crescendo and Drop.

Da Art Of Storytellin (Asura Remix) - OutKast

Really neat experimental hip-hop remix of OutKast by Asura. Go grab his FREE album Unreleasables, and then go buy the new EP he released under his own name (Ryan York), Zipperlegs. One of my favorite producers, he just crafts such gorgeous soundscapes.

Lobster out.

Friends of Friends - Pop Massacre

The influential blog Friends of Friends has just released a compilation called Pop Massacre - essentially, they challenged some of the best names in the beat scene (Daedelus, Shlohmo, Dntel, GroundIsLava, Strangeloop, Asura, My Dry Wet Mess... the list goes on!) to remix a pop song. Shlohmo, for example, takes on Soulja Boy; Dntel, Lady GaGa. The result: SEX. 

MORE SEX: ITS FREE

GO GET IT

so excited
