Lucky One

OoooOOOOooooOOO!! I squealed when I heard this one. It’s so shiny and sparkley!  …I don’t know if it’s possible for a song to be such a thing, but I swear, this song just shimmers.  It’s definitely a bit on the fem side I’d say, sorry dudes but I’m not sure you’re gonna dig the mega pitched vocals (but I don’t care. SORRYYYYYYY!!!!!)

I’m so in love with the chill vibe, sexy bass and all around sparkles, but also it kinda crushes my heart. There’s a lot of emotion captured with the echoey notes, reverberating bass and that “underwater” effect at 2.49… ugh, SO perfect.

Wet Hot Wax

It was too hard to pick just one song from Cubism, so I whipped up a sampler. I’m loving these squishy wet sounds and organic drum beats in Contact. All that’s going on at 1.13 through 1.31  is rocking my multiverse, plus the scratching at the end is pretty cool. Third Eye is featuring some seriously solid, eerie dub step and the Event Horizon EP is enough drum and bass to get you through your whole day. Enjoy!

Drift Away

This is a unique one!  We’ve got a catchy experimental-ish groove thing goin on in the beginning which caught my attention right off the bat.  Then a quick switch from light and catchy to dramatic emotion filled vocals at 1.06 and I was hooked.  (I could play that short clip on repeat for 3 hours probably definitely.) And immediately right back to a chill beat, but now I feel like it’s more thought provoking. Subtly, the two are artfully swirled together in this gorgeous combo of unique beauty.  Honestly, this song feels more like a work of art than anything else! So I can’t exactly put my finger on why, but I’m captivated with this mysterious drifting song.

natural disaster

This beautiful melodic flute and mandolin plucking is perfectly juxtaposed by the low, yet up lifting rumbling bass line in Runaway featuring Maryann. So pretty, it’s hard to call it by Ratchet, but not hard to believe that it’s from the Simplify recordings repertoire, damn fine tunes. This track sounds simple at first blush, but listen closely; it’s delightfully intricate. It starts of like snakes and cicadas on a scorching hot day. An interesting high sound at .22 like an electric violin merged with steel drums replaces what might have been beeps in a more average track. I’m always impressed with innovative uses of cranks and growls, so the sputtering, cranking that morphs into a growly laser at 2.04 is really cool. I love the repetitive low “with” high “Me!” wiME! wiMe! wiME! They warped the vocals into a whirling, swarming effect that swoops in strongest at 1.29 before the beat drops in like the eye of the storm. Doesn’t running away sound like so much fun…

My Funeral

The Funeral, by Band of Horses is one of the most moving songs in the entire Universe.  Granted, I do say this about quite a few songs but seriously I mean it for this one!  And the only thing as good as The Funeral by Band of Horses, is the remix that Butch Clancy exploded my face off with…. until THIS.  THIS my friends… sounds like a glorious spawn between EMBRZ and Sound Remedy.  And actually, the bass has a hint of Bassnectar’s older stuff.  SUCH FEELS! SO BEAUTY!!!!!!! I want this played at my funeral just so everyone will cry a lot. (Because I am cruel and evil.)

I’m super impressed, with just over 1200 soundcloud followers and only 3 songs posted so far, they’ve got some real talent and I can’t wait to see where it goes!!!

 

 

And check it to Butch Clancy’s remix!

Seriously?

I can not believe how good this little gem is, Soma & Prysm- Anubis from Caliber Music. The Egyptian vibe paired with the low bassy reverberating laser is etching a sphinx into my brain as we speak, in other words, it’s my jam! Subtle rhythmic beeps, crunchy clapping and some kind of un identified creature slithering and clicking in the back ground. Interesting. Exciting. Are they for real?! They’re my new favorite and I can’t wait to hear moar.

INTERVIEW: Stephan Jacobs

So I finally got my greedy little paws on Stephan Jacobs, just in time for the release of his glorious remix of Gold Skies!  I must say, this is one of my all time favs of his. I first became of a fan of Stephan when a lot of his music was melodic bass and echoey voices, but since then he’s dabbled everywhere into house, trap, club bangers, and hybrids of everything in between.  This latest remix is just simply gorgeous… from the beautiful intro with haunting vocals, smooth riser and build to a shimmery explosion of emotion.  NAILED IT!!!!!!  When I first heard it in his studio pre-release, I thought my heart stopped.   This gloriousness premiered on The Untz a few days ago so check it out!

BUT! Who gets to barge into his studio and harass him for answers?!!?! IIIII DDDOOOOO!!!! So be sure to check that out and hear his thoughts on his latest and get a little insight on Bottle Service.  I did get to hear a little secret from him which is not included..but don’t you worry, you’ll find out soon enough. I’ll let you ponder about that… 😉
