So one of my favorite rappers ever, Lupe Fiasco, is a DJ! Basically he released a couple banging electro-dance songs in the last month and they are must-listen tracks. SNDCLSH is the collaboration between DJ Lupe Fiasco and DJ Sky Gellatly. Plus they get the help of DJ Kue, not a bad addition.
If you love Lupe Fiasco or really dig electro-dance pop, this will find SNDCLSH enjoyable.
I discovered Polaris At Noon original music after attending Bootleg Bar in Los Angeles. Specifically they were the openers to the show, but we missed seeing them perform but did grab their EP, En Pointe (iTunes), on the way out. The next day, I put the CD in my car and was amazed at how awesome and unique their sound is.
This Costa Mesa, CA band is led by Jason Suwito, who has guided Polaris at Noon with a sound that seamlessly fuses electronic music with pop/rock. The music has garnered great esteem from fans of The Sounds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MSTRKRFT, and more. Personally I would compare them to a mixture of up-and-comer Capital Cities and Charlotte rock band Paper Tongues.
I love all the songs on their 5-track EP, En Pointe and highly recommend purchasing it! So below, stream and download some of the 11 tracks Polaris has uploaded to their soundcloud.
However, not giving you at least 1 song to download from their EP would not be right, so DOWNLOAD “On”, my favorite from the EP.
Make sure to follow Polaris at Noon on facebook and twitter!
Here’s the solo, ORIGINAL version of the unreleased track “She Alright” by HaTeR. The song is a mash between club / house / dubstep / hip hop / pop. A little bit of everything in this song, I think it’s interesting and worth a listen.
We got a new remix from 3 Stripes and Troublemaker (of King Fantastic). I really think this is a very appealing dance track and I love the chorus when the lead singer says “Losing Tonight”. Listen and DOWNLOAD below.
It’s time to get funky with some new Das Tapes video, I believe their debut music video. It’s a must-listen song, “This Party”, which is off their self-titled EP (iTunes).
Ok peoples, here’s another edition of Remix Battle, this time we are taking the dumb Rihanna song “We Found Love”.When she keeps singing “We found a love in a hopeless place…” I just keep thinking she found love in a jail, DMV, funeral, somewhere that might give you the feeling it’s hopeless. I just don’t get finding loving in a hopeless place, it’s so stupid!
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my rant on Rihanna and her silly lyrics. Now let’s get to two remixes that have very different sounds.
First we have Star Slinger‘s remix aka refix to “We Found Love”. I’m loving the beats he added and how you don’t hear much of the silly lyrics from Rihanna in this remix. Star Slinger really takes the instrumentals and gives it his own sound, which I respect, admire and can really dance to. Rihanna – We Found Love (Star Slinger Refix) by Star Slinger
Next comes 15-year old dubstep/electronic DJ Eos. His remix sticks to the original sound but has banging dubstep all over it.
After the release of Best You’ve Never Heard 5 late last month, I began listening to DWNTWN like crazy. When I heard they were performing with The Knocks at The Satellite in Silver Lake, I knew I had to be there. It was my first time at this venue and I was very impressed with the set up. It has a very intimate and amazing atmosphere with a diverse crowd. Anyone will have a great time!
I first arrive with DWNTWN beginning their set. They are a very unique duo with a indie/electro/pop sound. They are extremely talented and have great stage presence. Even though they performed well, I do believe they need a third member of their group (at least for live performances). Their instrumentals are amazing. However if they had a drummer or beat maker for live performances, it will make an already amazing group even better. Check out my favorite track by DWNTWN below.
Right after DWNTWN killed it, New York based disco/house duo The Knocks came on stage and lit it up! Not only are they great at producing and remixing, they are also legitimate singers as well. They have great vocals and lyricism. When they come on stage, the whole atmosphere turns into a big party immediately. Their music will soon be on the radio. Below is their best track. Enjoy!
Brand new remix from Futurecop!It’s been since February 2011 since we last wrote about Futurecop! but that changes with their banging dance remix to Angel & Airwaves ”The Adventure”. The original is a great song and the synths and dance vibe created by FutureCop! only makes “The Adventure” an even better song. Angel & Airwaves – The Adventure (Futurecop! Remix) by Futurecop!
Another edition of remix battle and this time its for a song that has been remixed and mashed way way way too much. However, it’s hard to ignore when Avicii‘s “Levels” plays as it’s such a great song and the remixing/mashing it can’t make it much worse, right?
