I’ve been digging Phoenix in my music mixes on Spotify ever since I first heard 1901 in that Cadillac ad way back when.  I’ve been trying to get them a post out here and when I saw they had a new album out this year I dug in.  While overall it is not a terribly fresh [...]

I have recently loaded all of my favorite Love and Rockets on my iPod and all of it stays just as fresh to me as it did back in the…well the 80′s….back when I was an infant. <grimace > I am choosing this track out of MANY that I could to bring to you because I think [...]

A refreshing look at dubstep for those of you who can’t get into it AND those of you who have.  Feed Me has a great catalog of classic dubstep tracks and Crystal Fighters are a youthful sort of spin on Kings of Convenience with much more EDM saturation.  Together they did this track which is simply one [...]

I feel like I am stuck in a rut of these sorta 80′s throwback outfits, but I just love what I am finding tooooooo much.  This track from Metronomy has ALL the things I like: catchy bass riff….that’s it.  It has more, but I am a sucker for a catchy bass riff and this one [...]

Digging through my old emails I found a “note to self” that literally said “check out Voluspa”…that’s it.  Thanks Joe. After a few days of searching for what I was eluding to on the web, I finally found what I meant.  This track is one of many enjoyable electronic jams by The Golden Filter from [...]

Just had this band thrown into my lap this week by my good buddy Jason.  They fit right into my life like an old friend I never knew I had.  The heaviness and the lightness of their sound is well represented in the two tracks here. Lastly is an airy track from their fourth album [...]

About this time last year I heard the first sample tracks from Grimes’ upcoming release “Visions”.  They intrigued me, but none caught my ear like this treat that I dug into later in the year while flitting around Spotify.  I saved it into a playlist I call “surprises” and there it sat until I revisited [...]

Okay, I know this might be asking a lot of you wonderful new Facebook followers….maybe even a lot of my decade old followers.  But bear with me here. Lately, I have been reading a lot on our solar system and with some of the new things I have learned about what we as humans have [...]

This track really shows you the depth of Skrillex’s abilities.  He is looking at all musical possibilities and exploring them without any concern for what the troves of dubstep fans say about him.  Hints of this work can be found in the break in Devil’s Den which posted here.  My basic opinion is that while [...]

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love (yes, we are now true loves) gave to me…lasdbewjhfbauirvahbv,a (crap, it happened; see the Grand National post for explanation) Hawke is Gavin Hardkiss of the San Francisco Hardkisses; three brothers working in acid house/trance/breakbeat techno music production.  This remix by Atnarko, a Canadian/Floridian DJ, takes a nice track into [...]
