MP3 blog 2012/01/12

blog 2012/01/12 - AND WE ARE AT IT AGAIN!

Welcome back everyone, we're here with a brand new year and as always, more amazing music to neurotically sift through.

But first, some amazing upcoming events I am involved in:

On the 21st I'll be playing at
Pitch Black: an evening of noise & experimental music
and then headling....
Ceratin Sort

Then on the 27th I'll be dropping beats at Confederation Park as part of the NHL All-Star weekend.  No, seriously.
On the 28th, Q-BOUNCE premiers!  I'll be spinning before and after the always-amazing Rae Spoon.
Get the details here:



Now, on to the music!

A Tribe Called Red - Electric Pow Wow Drum:  The first of a number of tracks in this update representing some hotness from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.  ATCR throws down some awesome parties, and here they drop this amazing beat.

Adam Saikaley - St. Andrews Church:  There was an interesting project called Polytectures where Ottawa buildings' architecture was discussed, and music set to them by various local musicians.  While the concept was often more interesting than the musical output, there were a number of gems in that project.  Local wunderkind Saikaley of course being one of those highlights.

Charles Bradley - Heartaches and Pain
Charles Bradley & The Menahan Street Band - Stay Away (Nirvana cover):  While dude kind of reminds us all of James Brown while being simultaneously uber-religious and hungover from PCP, he's got a glorious voice.  And covering Nirvana?  Woah.

CHLLNGR - Ask For (Cubic Zirconia Remix)
CHLLNGR - Haven :  Bouncing chill beautiful beats that are oh yes yes yes wonderful.

Heems - New York City Cops (The Strokes cover):  Yes, a Strokes cover, but oh Heems makes this his own.  One of my favourite things out of the Das Racist crew in a while.  Love the noisey El-P -ish beat.  Is it him/

Julianna Barwick - Vow (Diplo & Lunice remix):  Echoey ambient vocals!  Mixed by a beatmaster!  Yes it works.  And it works well.

Kool Krys - Let Me Play It
Philly Moves - Life Is Grand:  2 tracks taken from the 613 House Of Paint sampler!

Megafaun - Hope You Know
Megafaun - Real Slow:  2 otherworldly country/folk songs from the self-titled album.  I didn't like the whole thing, but these ones are gems.

Ólafur Arnalds - Lag Fyrir Ömmu
Ólafur Arnalds - Near Light:  Quiet piano-based IDM/ambient stuff is a huge weak-spot on my heart. From the new album Living Room Songs.

Sleeper Agent - Get Burned:  Totally rockin' driving music powerpop fun.

Sunn O))) meets Nurse With Wound - Ra At Dawn Part I {Rapture, At Last}:  The new collab album The Iron Soul Of Nothing isn't getting a huge wave of interest, but for fans of either it is pretty much a definitive purchase.  You know you want to.

Your Infamous Harp - Fading Star:  Probably my favourite track from 2010's Forever Transient.
