MP3 blog 2011/01/10

blog 2011/01/10 - *phew* finally getting back on top of things.

Last day of catch-up, let's get right to it...


Breakbot - Baby I'm Yours (Color Blaster Rmx):  Breakbot is always good for the elecro funk styleeeee

Dessa - Dixon's Girl:  Any track that starts with an oboe is well on its way to getting my panties off.  The structure here is at once wholly familiar, but every aspect is flipped in a playful way making this the funnest bit of contemporary R&B in a while.

Eliza Doolittle
- I'll Be Your Pillow:  From the 2010 album "Pack Up", this sound ends up as a cross between Lily Allen and more traditional singer/songwriter stuff like Be Good Tanyas.  And who the hell doesn't want to be someone's pillow?

Errors - A Rumour In Africa (Gold Panda Remix):  Gold Panda hits us with another cold metal electroklink rework.

Friends Electric - Golden Blood (The Dirty Tees Rework):  Ecstatic, epic electro reworks!  About time we got back to these.

Goth-Trad - Sunbeam:  Some dubstep from the "OMG I really love Shackleton" world of things where we do just enough and not a handclap more.

Hauschka - Kamogawa
Hauschka - Sunny Mission:  I was really looking forward to the new album, "Foreign Landscapes", as I'd loved their prior album to death.  These two songs pulled me in, but the album as a whole didn't gel for me.

Horse Feathers - Drain You (Nirvana cover):  I have to admit I love sappy and romantic takes on Nirvana songs.  My childhood is ok with this!

Josh Ritter - Change of Time:  blah blah blah nothing to say!~

Mariage Blanc - Whatever You Say I Am:  A bit on the radio-friendly side, but it has the classic pop chops down pat.

Marty Party - BeBa:  Beba.  What is says on the tin.

MRK1 - Digital Orient:  has that good dubstep grind without getting obnoxious, and that sexy dubness without stumbling over it's own feet.

Painted Palms - All of Us:  I swear this is what Panda Bear would sound like if he wasn't singing with a fishtank on his head.  From the new Canopy EP.

Ramadanman - Don't Change For Me:  Anyone remember illbient?  Drum & Bass got so fucking boring that it spawned that short lived genre.  Looks like someone dusted off the old sample packs and is giving the goodness another spin.  No longer a frenetic pace, we of the post-dubstep world nod with approval.

Rubik - It's Not Really You:  What was I saying about slowed down DnB?  Oh yeah, things get sexier and sexier.

Siberian Railway - Host ft Nuria Tamayo
Siberian Railway - Naoko:  Clicky yummy IDM, for fans of Saycet, CocoRosie and MuM.

Sub Swara - Bend You:  From the new release Triggers, Sub Swara shows why they are on of the most exciting dubby sounds on the dancefloor.  Almost a bit of garage action on the bass synths there.

The Belle Stars - Clapping Song (Rat Salad Re-Edit):  I'd always been a fan of the original chant, so it's fabulous and a bit odd to have it sneak it's way in like this.

Tokyo Police Club - Favorite Coulour (PUNCHES Remix):  YEAH!  One of the best TPC songs finally gets a dancefloor rework.

Two Fingers - Keman Rhythm:  We'll finish things off with a dope track from none other than Two Fingers!
