New week, new tunes. Here’s to keeping the ball rolling on this… So it’s a bit of a random mix of tunes here from the skungy guitars of Alice In Chains to the funky house sounds of Thomas Bangalter. Hopefully there’s something there for all of you. Tracks on offer are after the jump. God! It’s so damn hot in town today…
(Sorry! Was meant to publish this on Wednesday but work and family commitments kinda got in the way…)
A1 Bassline – 8oh8
Bit of dancehall, dub, wonk, jungle etc. All in all it equals whole lot of win. Diplo and the Cheap Thrills crew really have been serious pushers of this sound this year. Not that there is much of the year left…
Alice In Chains – Check My Brain
Love the lawnmover-like drone from the guitars in this track. Something to break up the usual electronica that I post up…
I.C.O.N.E. – Magnum Burns
A rad take on the classic Magnum P.I. theme. If my memory serves me right this track hovers around the 130bpm mark so it’s no early intro or fadeout track. One to keep the bodies moving on the dfloor.
Munk – Down In L.A. (Shazam Instrumental Mix)
Now there was nothing wrong with the original but damn, Shazam takes this track to another level of synth pop goodness. The last minute in this track is aural bliss. Work those keys!
Noah & The Whale – Blue Skies (The Twelves Remix)
Absolutely love this remix by The Twelves as they’re able to make what is already a rather uplifting song that little more happier and chill.
Shock One & Phetsta – The Sun 2009
Occasionally I don’t mind listening to a bit of drum and bass. Bit of Goldie, High Contrast, DJ Marky, Bad Company etc… Anyway, this little epic from two local producers has been getting a bit of airplay so I thought I’d share the love.
Thomas Bangalter – Spinal Scratch
Yes, it’s that Thomas. This one is trawling back through the archives to good old 1996. I actually kinda shudder to think what kind of music I might’ve been listening to back then…
Two weeks in a row now, gotta keep the momentum rolling here. As always, if you dig the artist/music the go buy it whether physical/digital and go see them live. Your conscience and the artists will love you more for it!
