We’re just having fun, we don’t care who sees.

Where do I start?

It feels like almost a relief to be back on the East Coast, only because I’m willing to admit that I probably could not handle another day of Coachella. It’s a beast of a wild time. This year we were able to expand our camping group to 20+ different people and there’s no telling what next year will be like.

If you haven’t noticed, the festival scene has exploded as of late. I can’t turn my head around without hearing of a new event packed with a slew of artists waiting to wow you. Each one is entirely different from the next, varying in genres, tiers of artists, camping vs. non-camping; these things have seriously evolved. This is where the music industry is going.

During the phenomenal Radiohead set on Saturday night Thom Yorke said it best, music is about being together and the sense of community we have at these things. To me music is extremely personal, it performs as the soundtrack to my life, a constant ebb and flow. But being in the middle of a sea of tens of thousands of people all consumed by the lights, synths, and strong percussion; it really felt like something else.

As Coachella is one of the only places I will completely keep my phone off and separated for days at a time, I won’t be giving you the minute-by-minute timeline of what I was doing. I will give you some insight on who I saw after 3pm those days though, and trust me, that heat was brutal in the campgrounds before the sun went down. Continue reading

You can go hard or you can go home

I was a bit excited when I found out that Mick Jagger had been featured on a dance track with Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas.

I enjoy some mindless fist pumping music just as much as the next bro (it’s not mindless if you appreciate the sound design that is involved in synthesis) and my dad was a Stones fan so I grew up liking them, too.

I was disappointed when I first heard the original track, however, as I felt it lacked a bit of energy and punch. R3hab just fixed all that by dropping this free remix of the track a few days ago. While the original track may go home, this one goes hard…like a boner (pun credited to Will.I.Am).

Last summer at Lollapalooza, I saw these guys going wild in the tent during our final and muddiest day of the festival. Since I was there for coverage purposes, I left Sunday as my day for play. Modeselektor was an integral part of that day.

I can’t wait for their heavy, heavy sound and I seriously can’t wait to be surrounded by thousands of people dancing along. Watch bass-thumping animation from François Chalet in their latest video for their song “Berlin” featuring Miss Platnum.

They’re mad because he’s hot…and they wish they were.

Been lagging in posting for a while. Just me personally, not all the other cool people. My bad.

This shoulda been up earlier, but it’s just as awesome now. Holy shit does this hit hard. I think I am becoming Diplo’s biggest fan. I’d probs pay $30 for his new EP even though that’s a ridiculous price for an EP (or even an LP). He’s good and this song is dirty.

Meet Breakbot, otherwise known as Thibaut Berland, a smooth French producer and DJ who’s doing his part to keep the disco/electro scene alive. I don’t know too much about him but one thing is clear, this man can enhance any track with his midas touch of a remix. Check out a dash of his work below, I think he’s going to throw on one massive dance party at Coachella this year.

Songs For Your Weekend Moods: Sahara Tent Edition

Like many music festivals, Coachella is broken down in a number of different stages all along the grounds that it’s held on. Typically, the larger outdoor stages are for bigger and mostly indie acts while the Sahara Tent…well, that’s something special.

Above is a picture from last year’s tent and my god was it beautiful. Chandeliers of LED lights is all I can suffice from my poor memory but it truly was a piece of electronic art. The Sahara Tent is where festival-goers will want to plant themselves if they’re looking for a massive dance party. All of the top DJs of the festival play under these lights and it’s a location that I dedicate an entire night to.

This year’s lineup is super house and trance heavy. I’m excited as hell so here’s a slew of tracks from the confirmed lineup that will be sure to set your weekend moods off.

Icarus (Keys n Krates Remix) – Madeon

Must Be The Feeling (Delta Heavy Remix) – Nero

Save The World (Haunted Edit) – Swedish House Mafia

We Found Love (R3hab Extended Mix) - Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris

Daydreamer feat. Example – Flux Pavilion

Lightspeed (Original Mix) – Kill The Noise & Datsik

You can’t count on a second chance.

What Became of You and I – Treefight For Sunlight   Heavy subject material and light, bouncy pop melodies always have my ear and make me smile. These Danes create smart piano-driven music that’s instantly catchy. Spend some time with their debut A Collection of Vibrations For Your Skull.

Goldstar – Cashier No. 9  Simple and strummy, Irish indie rockers Cashier No. 9 have an impressively modest sound. I’m especially digging the harmonica solo too.

Charlie Kaufman – First Rate People   I love these Canadians, you know that. Grab their album, Someone Else Can Make A Work Of Art, for free!

Second Chance – Peter Bjorn and John   I’m sorry for holding on to this gem for way too long. So sorry.

Enjoy the collection of uptempo.

Meet: Blood Orange

Devonté Hynes is one of those ultra talented guys who’s been involved in all sides of the music scene for quite some time now.

From producing to composing to writing and so on, Hynes is just solid at whatever he gets his hands into. Between working with Florence and the Machine, Basement Jaxx, Theophilus London and more, Devonté culminated the music for what would be his first release under the alias Blood Orange. Released at the end of last summer, Coastal Grooves shows a whole other side of Hynes, one that wasn’t captured with his previous moniker Lightspeed Champion (and even before that, his group Test Icicles).

“Stuphin Boulevard” is a gritty track, one for the dark cobblestone alleys and the last subway trip home. The beat is pulsating and reserved while Hynes shows off his diverse vocal style, one that blends genres effortlessly. I also dig the track, “The Complete Knock”  which has surfy guitar lines and a nice Brit-pop feel. I highly suggest checking the entire album out, one that Domino Records describes as “the music of a seedy yet inspirational New York night time.”

Get it (and right-click and enjoy).

PS. I’ll break out his older work for some insight.
