Don’t Interrupt This

Can we continue this blogging relationship, of you reading my drabble and me writing it, if I told you that I liked Kanye West’s music?  If the answer is no, then JAYKAY!!!!!! But if the answer is yes, pls keep reading.

See, it’s a remix so that makes it ok. And Milo & Otis took the catchiest and best parts of the original so you can pretend you don’t know the source! (I can find a loophole in ANYTHING I tell you.)

To be honest, it’s not too far off from the original but I’m definitely enjoying the trap and grime additions!!

House got Soul

Yes, yes I know… I posted a House song.  If you know me at all, you know how I feel about House. I swear I could throw up with boredom. I feel like all I can do is bob my head to it and watch everyone else bob their heads.  Now, that’s not to say that House isn’t “good”, it’s just a genre that brings me to tears with it’s dullness! So anyways, if I’m posting a House song, it’s pretty much like witnessing a Unicorn leaping out of a liquor store. Talk about surprising!

There are exceptions of course and I gotta say, this song is a big one for me.  I feel like House can be amazing if it is paired with some beautiful vocals or if it’s bred with another genre to add some spice to it.  For this one, I’m diggin the vocals and lyrics so much that the chill beat and sounds are a nice compliment to it.  I could happily close my eyes and bob to this one!  Soul mixed with House… who knew?  Well done Camson, my hat’s off to you!

Hybrid Babies

I like a lot of things.. wacky samples, outlandish remixes, chipmunk voices and unique sounds to name a few, but another thing I like, is when someone creates a hybrid baby with flavors of other artists I like.

This right here, is a perfect example of old school Polish Ambassador and Pretty Lights making an adorably funky baby with Cosby Sweater.  There’s a difference between replicating someone else’s sound and creating something beautiful and new with potential influences from other artists.  That’s something quite challenging but very rewarding if accomplished.  I like that Cosby Sweater broke away from the original (by Break Science) enough to create a new song with a completely different feel, as the original has a glitchy or gritty feel to it (kinda like Phutureprimitive got involved with the hybrid baby making), but Cosby Sweater turned it’s direction much more to the funk side. Definitely love both versions!

Fun stuff kids!!!

string quartête-à-tête

Okay, you know how I feel about strings… well if you don’t, you should know that I love them and Doctor_P just went tête-à-tête with Roksonix and brought a whole quartet of them with him. I’m frakin’ crazy about the low distorted robot voice at .43. This remix makes me want to put on a monocle and some white gloves and crash a ball room, come on let’s go!

I’ve been an Incubus fan since 1999, so it’s high time for this beautiful Aqueous Transmission remix from ChrisB. Skipping vox effect complements the beautiful Japanese vibe the original track carries. Shamisen, shakuhachi, violin topped off with claps and trap sauce; mmm!

Feelin’ Falsetto

So Giraffage decided to remix The Dream’s 2007 album “Love Hate” and I’m thinkin that was a real good decision.  Each song has a chill smooth vibe to it that’s perfect for a Sunday afternoon.  You can throw this on and just feel good.  Maybe make a sandwich or maybe just sketch a quick realistic portrait of Morgan Freeman.

I gotta say my fav song is Falsetto. Why? Obviously the chipmunk voice.  If you add that in there, I will swoon and blog about it…but don’t get me wrong, it has to be a TASTEFUL chipmunk voice.  This is all about taste here folks.  Well done Giraffage, well done.

 

Seriously, if you're Kyle Lambert you can whip up this rough sketch of Morgan to this album.

Distract Me

If Lana del Rey were a man she would definitely be Jaymes Young.  Her song “Summertime Sadness”…?  Lana, if you’re sad in the summertime, you’re just depressed ok? Please seek help.  But maybe don’t, because your songs and voice are so beautiful.

I think Jaymes is struggling with depression but he’s so good at it that I don’t want him to stop either!  And when you combine Phaeleh with Jaymes’ killer voice and lyrics, then you’ve got a song that could murder! ….hahahaha! –ok I’m sorry. Just listen:
