PL Unreleased 2010

Got a couple remixes here from the Denver DJ extraordinaire Prettly Lights. These are from his New Years Eve run in Chicago a little over a month ago he just released them. Quintisential Pretty Lights here, make sure you check them all out. The Pink Floyd "Time" remix seems to cut off quickly, but it's still probably my favorite from the set. Also be sure to check the Steve Miller Band rework and the Kanye remix, both are AWESOME. As always from Pretty Lights, all these tracks can be pulled from his website here. Enjoy:



Unreleased Remixes: 2010 by Pretty Lights by bigosmusic

Synthetic Simplicity

Here are a couple songs that I've been hooked on lately. Their simple approach in a modern day music scene filled with ecclectic beats and bumping whomps brings a welcome release. The theme for this post is simple songs with synth or creativity. For those who don't know, if you like any of these, just click on the little downward arrow on the right of the track to Download. Check 'em.

This track just melts like... well... "Hot Sugar." The song its titled 'The Seagul,' and is nothing short of hypnotic and relaxing, it simply soothes the stresses of the day.

The sounds from this track are a little more synthetic, but just as chill. Swim's "Wishing Wars" is smooth and serene, and a nice complement to the 'the seagul.'

Pogo, the artist of this next track, is seriously creative. He's usually working for Disney, laying down track's for their animated films. He does this type of stuff on the side, and it blends with an animated flavor. Titled "Wishery"

This track is straight sexy, at least in my own mind. The original (by Bon Iver) is sweet and sexy in it of itself, but the remix by Das Kapital makes it pop. Crisp as a pringle, but smooth as a yogurt. "Skinny Love."

I'm gona cut if off here with Cult's "Go Outside." With the blizzard we're currently weathering here in Hamilton, it's a nice reminder of good times outside. Stoaked for the first snow day. Almost a childish feel, the track is a smile in it of itself.

If you like these type of tracks then give me a hollar, got a bunch of them to share for those who enjoy

Happy New Year, Ya Filthy Animal!

The past month and a half has flown by, as did most of 2010. But just before Chritmas I recieved this memo from Soundcloud:

As a result, I've been inspired to post more music, despite being served. So, as all the 'Year in Review' material continues to come out, it's only warrented that I create my own best of 2010 list. So here it is, my 10 favorite songs from 2010. (Mind you, these are biased favorites, not publicly unanimous top songs or indie topers... Furthermore their aren't necessarily in order, and there were alot of other songs I wanted to throw in). Enjoy

10. Blitzen Trapper - The Man Who Would Speak True
Beatiful. I could argure Blitzen Trapper's story telling is reminiscent of Bob Dylan (dare I say that?). Their album 'Destroyer of the Void' dropped on June 8th, and didn't disapoint. Check it out if you like the feel.

9. Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks
I'm pretty sure this dropped in 2k10. The serene smooth beats and hypnotic whistle sell it. Been listening to this song for the past 7 months and I still don't know what it's about, but it's sexy.

8. The Black Keys - Tighten Up
First heard this song on FIFA 11, haha, but it's decidedly a favorite of the year. New age Bluesy, Jazzy, love song. Thats kind of the best way I can describe it.

7. Caribou - Odessa
Anyone who knows this song loves it. Well, at least I think they do. Interestingly, it's also on the FIFA 11 soundtrack, but that's not why we love it. The song attacks you and then lulls you in with it's melodic lyrics. check it.

6. Crystal Castles - Empathy
Not everyone can relate to Crystal Castles, as their experimental tracks can be a lot to absorb at once (Z). But theres no doubt Castles have a bunch of really tasty songs. Here's one of them:

5. Big Gigantic - Step Up
And get down. SO much fun to see, just a sax, a drummer, and a set of mixed beats. Hard to chose a favorite song from the album "A Place Behind the Moon," but it's either this or Driftin. Here's a link to listen and DL to the whole album, I'm pretty sure they give it away on their website also, so check it.

4. Cee Lo Green - Fuck You
Maybe a bit of a cop-out, but I love this song. There have been a shit ton of remixes made for it, but the original is still the best.

Cee-Lo Green - Fuck You by pordain

3. LCD Soundsystem - Dance Yrself Clean
Can't get enough of this song, it's variation of tone and it's digable drops hook me. Besides, LCD Soundsystem is the shit! Their on their own lable (Jame's Murphy's DFA), so that's pretty f'in cool. They were also maybe my favorite show of the year, so explore them.

2. Bassnectar - The 808 Track
How could this be a Insidewantsout top ten list without some filth? Had a hard time between this and "Wildstyle Method," but in the end I had to go with what pops. Warning: not for the feignt of heart, this song has been known to cause ear damage... at least I bet it has.

1. Teen Daze - Wet Hair (Japandroids original)
This was an almost impossible decision. Well, really it was almost random. There's too much I could have put at number 1, so I just went with basically a coin toss. That being said, even though it's a remix, it's my favorite of 2010. Fits all my moods, and is counterintuitively tasty.

Holiday Bonus: Christmas Dub
I'll give one more track as a Holiday bonus. I really wanted to post this before Christmas, but it's a little to late for that. The track makes me think of 2 Santa's fighting for Christmas supremecy, Good vs. Evil... with lazer shooting reigndeer. Tell me it doesn't. It's kind of erie, but that's part of it's flavor:

Whelp that it. Happy New Year... Ya filthy Animal

Old School Mix

Girl Talk dropped his new album "All Day" the other day... I probably won't be posting any of that. Worth mentioning though, he took almost two years to finish it, and it's a semi-dope album if you're into hyperdrive mash ups. (You can DL it here.)

However, today I'm chosing to post about a couple of mixes that came out a few years ago. I stumbled back into one of my first favorite mixes a few days ago, and got caught up in a nastalgic playlist that I used to run a while back. Their mostly old school songs that have been vamped up for todays crowd, but are easy to dive into. I'm kickin it off with my personal favorite mix, the Soulwax mix of "You can't always get what you want." Just let it roll.

This next track came out about a year ago. It's a Twelves mix of the 80's hit Take on me. Not quite as catchy as the original, but nice and upiddy for todays music.

This is just straight fun. The Police's "Roxanne" mixed by Discotech. Jump up and get down:

The Police - Roxanne (discotech remix) by Dsprinz


I wish I could take off all the little comments on this one, but it's the only DL-able one I could find. It's a little crazy for those not keen to dub, but it's mix of serene vibes and crazy beats makes me love it. It's a Good Vibrations mix by the Stanton Warriors. Dig it

'Good Vibrations' (Stanton Warriors Remix) by Stanton Warriors


Again, I wish I could take the comments off, but I can't. (You can if you just click the little talk bubble in the bottom right corner). This is a smooth Fugee's "Ready or Not" dub remic by Cillo. Sexy, fun, and real. Perfect.

Cozzed a Frenzy

 

Bassnectar Family Photo.

God damn: what a weekend. Bassnectar was an absolute party, as he always is. But blended with a healthy mix of great people and a beautiful city, he was near leathal. With an ungodly setlist and a bumpin' venue (electric factory), it was some of the most fun I've had all semester. Thanks Philly for showing this CT kid a good time, you all know who you are.
I gotta unleash the dub in this post, so those who aren't friendly with explosive beats, watch out.

I'll start off easy: Lorin Ashton unleashed this in the middle of the set, although he clearly improvised it to fit the electric factory. Awesome song, it's a Fever Ray mix that always puts a smile on. Careful though, this a' rocket launcher right here:

Fever Ray - When I Grow Up (Bassnectar Remix) by Illeskimo

I also gotta throw this next one into the mixer. I have to say, Beats Antique killed it. Almost unseen heros of the show on Friday. Here's a mix that Bassnectar created when he did some work with Beat's Antique (I think 2008?). Love it, just a circus of a track:

Beats Antique - Roustabout (Bassnectar Remix) by therabble2

Alright, here's where it gets a little crazy. This one got thrown down a little before half way through the set. It was a shit show of a song. Ashton whomped it the fuck out. My personal favorite song of the set.

Zeds Dead & Omar LinX - Out For Blood by omarlinx

Just to break it up a bit, so I'm not completly fixed on the show from Friday, I'm gona toss one of my more recent favorites out there. This is a Jamrock Dubstep mix by Savoy. Get wild with it.

Welcome to Jamrock (Savoy Remix)- Damian Marley by Chicofuentz

To close it out, I'm gona put down a Diplo mix. Beautiful song, Four Floors by sunday girl. Dive inside and swim around in it.

Thanks again to everyone who was there in Philly. We gotta do that again sometime soon.
