Lets get down in Barclelona!


I've been thinking pretty heavily about moving to Barcelona some time in the near future, so this track has a much deeper relevance in my life than you might first think. I always love lifelike remixes, and thought his version of Chromeo - Needy Girl was definitely near the top of the heap.
This track is by a group of four chicks called Plastiscines. I dunno... pfff. But I love the remix, plenty of chords and bass all that stuff.

This next track is in the same cruisy driving home vain. I always thought Kleerup was about the coolest swedish dude around ever since he made the beat for Robyn - With Every Heartbeat and I think a bunch of other Robyn stuff.... Sweden's always had a disproportionate number of mega house producers but now with Kleerup and Basshunter they're kind of getting good at pop too, ABBA style.
This track is from his self titled debut album Kleerup and is just cool I dunno kind of sounds like baby music but dark music at the same time.... ?

Kleerup - Thank You For Nothing (Mp3)


Best for last - my favourite now broken up band The XX get a dirty house remix of Shelter by Death To The Throne. Shelter kind of grew on me till it was my favourite track of the album, but this is sick it keeps all the great vocals and atmosphere but just has a dirty pushing electro beat under it! Gonna go make a cup of tea.

Being silly


Above is an artist's impression of how my friend's house usually looks at about 2am. These next two songs are pretty cheezy but they've been on pretty heavy repeat!

Kesha - Tik Tok (Mp3)

Iyaz - Replay (Mp3)

Weezin!


This is the big single off Weezer's new Raditude album, I like it! Reminds me of american pie

Weezer - (If you're wondering if you want me to) I want you to (Mp3)

Snares are the new Hi Hats


Much like the picture above, I've found a new trend in Hip Hop which gives me hope for the future...
These songs both have a 'hip hop' feel to them, which seems obvious but I feel like the golden age of intense hi hat krunk rap is behind us and judging by cds like Jay Z's new one, rap's turning back into hip hop!
