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

Cudi The Kid feat. Kid Cudi & Travis Barker – Steve Aoki (Lucky Date Remix)

Anytime I see Kid Cudi in a track-listing you better believe I’m going to press play. It doesn’t help that Travis Barker and Steve Aoki are already deep in the mix.

Lucky Date immerses himself in “Cudi The Kid,” revving up those low bassy tones for such a heavy, heavy buildup. It’s almost a god damn relief when this thing finally drops.

Fannypack Friday: January 27th, Your Lucky Date!

Winter is a bad time of year. Even wild cats get depressed. I haven’t felt like Pregaming or partying. I changed my diet and now I feel more energized. I was eating only catnip before, but now I take in more salmon so my vitamin D levels are higher. Vitamin D is now considered an important part of pregaming.

#PumaNutrition #PumaDiet #PumaFitness Vitamin D has made me feel great. Feeling great makes me feel lucky. I feel lucky in the winter. I feel lucky independent of the date. Lucky on this date. Lucky Date 36 Dance Tracks. Party to Lucky Date. Pregame to Lucky Date!

Meet: Woof!

Hey. hi.

This is serious.

Woof! is/are the collective musical (and other) endeavors of three forward thinking individuals. It’s beats, and electronica, it’s lo-fi, it’s hi-fi, it’s live instrumentals, it’s samples, it’s manipulated sounds and vocals, it’s a whole lotta things. It’s hard to categorize, but occurring to these gentlemen:

“Typically humans think too finitely, thus feel the need to categorize everything”

One listen and you’ll understand these guys don’t need to be put into a box. But if you must categorize it, think of it as an exploratory conglomeration of post-dub, progressive, beat-making combined with a WIDE range of vocal and instrumental clips and samples. These guys are all about getting together something interesting (and sometimes weird) sounding  and then fucking with it and somehow making it even better. These sounds can relax you, make you move, but they will also make you think and listen critically.

With a soundcloud account of 23 tracks, a Youtube account of 40 videos (many interesting visuals compiled by Woof friend hockenburyj2), the group already has an impressive catalogue of tunes and are still releasing new material on a steady basis. I am constantly checking their pages for new updates and after checking out some of their stuff below, you should too.

Check out their first full proper release simply entitled “below as well as some select visuals and you’ll understand (or maybe you won’t…because I think that’s really the point).

‘Tis the season

Hate to break it to you folks but I’m not the type of girl who waits all year long for the radio to finally start playing Christmas songs 24/7. I at least like to wait until December but a friend of mine sent me a slew of Christmas dubstep and it got me wanting to create a Holiday round-up.

Check out some wonky beats, low frequencies, and club remixes that will surely get you out of your seat and ready to throw down with some spiked eggnog ASAP.

Laser Sex

I’ve generally refrained from using this as a forum to promote my endeavors, but I guess that sort of ended when I started posting up mixes for Carrot Creative

So, that being said. I’d like to introduce you to my boys (now) What’s Protocol? fam, Scranton, PA’s Laser Sex.

The electronic/jamtronic outfit came together back in the Fall of 2009 and have been hard at work honing their sound and skills both in and outside of the studio. To date, they have released 2 EPs (available for free or pay what you can) and are currently working on another to be released by the end of the year.

Originally starting as an in-studio duo, the group has gone through some lineup changes over the past two years and now finds itself as a foursome. With the core of the group being Mike Nasser (on bass, guitar, and synths) and Jeff Felkowski (on guitar, synths, and Kaoss Pad) and now featuring Rich Hartranft of One.Man.And on drums as well as a revolving sit-in keyboard player (occasionally Zach Cole of Rouge Chimp and Angelo Miraglia of SUICAUDIO) the group has really filled out their sound.

The group is (as of TODAY!!!) heading up North for a little adventure and has two shows in the New England area (details below). They are also currently in the top 8 bands out of 64 submitted in the running to win The Untz Challenge 2. Needless to say, Team Laser Sex has a lot going on and the future is looking increasingly bright for this group. Don’t sleep on them!

Meet Zeds Dead.

There’s gotta be some of you guys out there who like to get straight weird to some music every now and then.

So, meet Zeds Dead who are controlled chaos for your ears and cognitive systems.  Good god do I enjoy their searing take on dubstep.  DC and Hooks serve up a healthy dose of club beats and crazy samples over wonky bass that feeds on the bottommost frequencies.

This DJ duo shares our same passion and appreciation of digging through crates of obscure records searching for interesting hip-hop samples or funk breaks, disco classics, etc.  These two have a wide-eyed look on the music scene and will draw samples from Radiohead to Sublime able to create something extremely unique and ready to hit the dance floor immediately. These hardworking guys crank out remixes and original tracks on the regular so you’ve always got to keep an ear out. They’re currently on a nation-wide tour, check them dates out.

Songs for your weekend moods.

Woooo it’s that time of the week again!  Rounding up this week’s uptempo obsessions by yours truly.  I’ve got a lot of different stuff this Friday, some weirdness for all ears.

Houdini RAC Remix – RAC It’s fair to say RAC produces nothing short of quality remixes, especially with the latest of Noah and the Whale.  But this Foster the People song?  Nothing but gold with the teetering synths, hand-claps, and of course some solid bass.

A Dragonfly in the City (Teen Daze Remix) – Sun Glitters You should already know by now how I feel about Teen Daze, s0 just add lush electronica Sun Glitters-style to the mix.  Rinse, lather, repeat.

The Ills – Mayer Hawthorne Darryl consistently shows love for this fine man, and now I shall too.  Check out this funky, brassy song and don’t let the “ills of the world get you down” this weekend.

Time (Hot Mess Remix) – Chase & Status I cannot get this song out of my head.  Just let that dubstep take you under control, lift you up and take you crashing back down.

Burnt By The Sun – Paul White Because I know you all were just waiting for me to unleash something truly, sonically interesting for you ears.  There’s so much dissonance going on but at the same time, a uniform hip-hop beat.  My ears may just explode.

 

Right-click and enjoy.

If I had an orchard I’d work ’til I’m sore.

Well happy Saturday everyone.  This weekend marks the last shift I have at one of my jobs…and I can say I could not be happier.  With new things starting up next week, the prospect of change could not come at a better time.

So, here’s a healthy dose of some solid jams for your weekend activities.  Daryl and I are going to check out Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. and Generationals later on tonight at Kung Fu Necktie, I’m pumped.  Re-cap post most likely up soon after, keep on the look out.

Half Of It – YesYou Dance-pop at its finest all the way from Australia.

Sleep – Color of Clouds Kelli Scarr and her strong, soulful voice will captivate you.  Good things coming out of Brooklyn these days, I love it.

Feel It (DannielRadall Remix) – Sun Glitters I had to leave you guys with something weird.  Sun Glitters is simply lush electronica and this remix is icing on the cake.

Milk – Sea Oleena I could really write an entire post about this woman, and maybe I will sometime soon.  For now, I adore this song and the faint piano. And lastly, her tumblr.

 

As always, right-click and enjoy.
