Weekend Goodies!
Happy Friday (or Saturday – any readers from Down Under out there?) everyone! I had to tear myself away from the Shiba Inu puppy cam errr, I mean, my job to write this post but we all need some music to propel us into weekend mode, right?! Here’s what I’ve been loving for the past week:
Everyone and their mom has been hyping the new Hot Chip album One Life Stand (set to drop in North America on...
Russ Chimes remixes Ellie Goulding "Starry Eyed"
Do yourselves a massive favor right now… pause whatever you’re doing and head on over to Neon Gold Records or Discodust and download Russ Chimes remix of Ellie Goulding’s “Starry Eyed”. It is just unreal. The build and piano-house drop/breakdown at 2:30 is one of the best I’ve ever heard. My only complaint is that it’s not long enough! (Hey Russ, is an...
Coachella 2010 lineup announced!
The lineup for this year’s Coachella festival was just announced and it’s as eclectic and awesome as a music lover could hope for!!! Tickets go on sale this Friday, January 22 at 10:00 AM. (The Coachella website unhelpfully does not indicate what time zone - my guess is GMT?)
So. Are you going? Leave a comment and maybe we can assemble an elektro-crew!
When work life interferes with fun life…
Lack of postage this week has me majorly bummed but work-life sometimes interferes with fun-life…that’s just how the bills (and drinks) get paid!
Anywho, here are some bits and pieces of good stuff from around the interwebz this week that should get you settled nicely into the weekend:
I absolutely adore El Perro Del Mar’s cool and collected sound as exemplified in their track “A...
Song o' the day
Apologies for the laziness in manner of this post but just as an FYI - Siriusmo’s remix of Bodi Bill’s “Tip Toe Walk” is a MUST listen to. More of a tango than a walk - signature rolling snares, jazzy inflections. It’s just really really cool.
Check it out at Hypem/The Fast Life:
Eff the ‘Aughts… it’s time to ring in the New Year...
I’m gonna be perfectly honest here, readers. The second my vodka-weary eyes caught the NYE ball drop on the telly (sidenote: Crystal Head vodka is fairly excellent and not as expensive as you might think – totally worth it for the rad skull bottle), I knew I’d have a damn hard time wrapping up my Elektro 2k9 list. I’m just as sick as you all are of year-end recaps and while it would be nice to...
Hypem Zeitgeist 2009
Hype Machine has released the first installment of its Zeitgest - the top 50 Artists, Albums and Songs of 2009. A cool new feature includes original artwork showcasing each band, as sampled above by Rob Corradetti.
Hypem.com will release 10 artists/albums/songs each day so be sure to click back through the week. An excellent round-up from my favorite website on earth :)
Edu K Free EP
For those of you unfamiliar with Edu K – his music is a combination of Baile Funk, techno and “Rave Zombie Electro”. Basically, it’s like being at a circus rave. Not everybody’s cup of tea but if you’re into that sort of thing, Scatterblog is giving away his EP for free – 2 originals and 7 remixes.
Hop on over to http://www.scatterblog.com/blog/2009/12/scm-003/ for the goods.
