There's a little different format for this month's playlist. Instead of making this a who's who of my favorite tracks posted on Sirens this month, I went on a bit of a different path. This month's playlist is MP3 only, which means you can download it at your leisure, as some have requested. No more being tied to the website to listen. It also means that unfortunately there are a ton of great songs submitted to me that aren't included. What is included is a few of the great tracks posted here that did have free MP32s, as [...]

If you're like me, certain things keep you up at night. Things like "What are my plans for the future? Why are we here? Is there more out there? What do astronauts listen to when floating through space?" Well I can't answer the first three, but if I had to take a guess at the last, it would be "Break My Heart in 23 by Ancient Astronauts . Not only are these guys astronauts, but they're ancient astronauts. They were astronauts before it was cool to be an astronaut. Eat your heart out Neil Armstrong. [...]
Double Take features two top ten tracks from the Hype Machine charts – both unknown and unheard by myself. Did I mention these tracks are selected specifically because they encompass genres that I am ignorant of, or generally avoid? Well, there’s that too. Double Take is meant to be a fun interlude in the seriousness of music blogging…if blogging can be called serious. I tackle songs I would never otherwise give a second thought, or delve into genres where I’d be better off sticking my own foot in my mouth than try to talk [...]
Welcome to Friday Mixtape 187 and the weekend! I took this week's photograph at the world famous surf spot Teahupoo in Tahiti . My camera wasn't metering properly at the time but I still managed to get a few decent images. It was an amazing place I highly recommend that you go there, or at least chec some videos of Teahupoo on YouTube . Next week @DorothyJS and I are going on another RV adventure. I need some help with guest mixtapes during that time. Please email FridayMixtape@gmail.com if you want to [...]
Representing Cologne, Germany, Ancient Astronauts have recently re-entered Earth's stratosphere. They have made a name for themselves through their countless collaborations and addicting style. Even though they have only two official releases, they pick up the slack in remixes, live mixes, and compilations. Ancient Astronauts are most noted for their highly addictive beats, such as the futuristic vintage-sounding Into Bass And Time, released back in 2011. However, just recently, they dropped a new single called "Break My Heart In 2". This particular track really speaks to their futuristic vintage persona, which is always coupled with [...]

New remix album on Eighteenth Street Lounge Records from Ancient Astronauts, and a free downtempo download to savour. The original album came out in March (see here ) but they're already back with a remix album. The original album had that downtempo hip hop stoner feel and was great. Luckily, the remix album keeps the bits that made it good but the whole thing ends up a bit more urgent and less left on the sofa with the munchies.

Starts off slow and you think that they are working up to something special. The beats kick in on the second track 'Still A Soldier' and you are starting to get warm, maybe a bit of a semi or some moistness is starting to develop in the nether regions? Then as quick as a flash the track is gone and it's on to another slow starting hip hop joint featuring Azeem called 'The Shining'. Disappointed massively with that one. Sorry but I am calling this one down the middle despite my mega love of AA. I was still nodding my [...]

The Ancient Astronauts consist of Tom Strauch and Ingo Möll, based in Moers at the lower Rhine in Germany. These guys have a hip-hop/reggae/funk kind of vibe. Their song "I Came Running" has a slow beat and dark feel you would pick up from an UNKLE or DJ Shadow track. But then it has this James Bond swag, or so I think. The song "Classic" has the speed of A Tribe Called Quest song "Luck of Lucien". But are far from similar in all other senses. Both are very solid songs, I would highly suggest taking a deeper look at these guys. I [...]
What's good everyone? Just got back from a wild weekend in Amsterdam, so I apologize for not posting in a few days. It's a rainy, lazy day here in Prague, which gives me the prefect opportunity to share some chilled-out music, as well as a great new video from one of my favorite hip-hop production duos, Ancient Astronauts . I don't know about all of you, but I definitely need a few days to relax and detox, I hope these songs and video do the trick for ya. Peace. Amsterdam- Peter, Bjorn & [...]
