If I wasn't completely convinced of Lena Dunham's prowess as a writer, a scene in the second season-two episode of Girls that premiered on January 20 -- an argument between Hannah and her new boyfriend Sandy, a black Republican -- sold me on it 100 percent. I still have no idea if Hannah can even write, though. Unlike Sex and the City , which was grounded by Carrie Bradshaw's literary musings, Girls has kept its heroine scribe's written word mostly a mystery. But I'm still marveling at how much ground Dunham the [...]

Garage pioneer Todd Edwards explains how MK and Enya shaped his sound.
This kid from Norman, OK has an impressive library of work that you all should take a minute and listen to. See if you can pick out some of his influences. Soulwax - Krack[Nite Version](PrototypeRaptor Bootleg Remix) (320 kbps) Both of these are awesome and I urge you to buy them or find them and play them if you like them. PrototypeRaptor - Color Galaxy/Highwind (clip) I find this hilarious - Enya - Orinoco Flow (PrototypeRaptor's Sailing Away Bootleg Remix ) [...]
Greatest Set of All Time? This is only the second half, but I would recommend that you take the time to go watch the other 15 mins in order to see this puppy from start to finish. Arguably the greatest thing to come out of illadelphia in years, the Made In America festival is undoubtedly selling out early for next year. Since I’ve already posted everything in the video, find some ravey techno jams below. The Other Tribe - Skirts Bob Marley [...]

Jonathan Paulsen (aka PrototypeRaptor ) seems to take on board all the electronic dance music essences of anticipation and poise – and whittles them all through a Norman, Oklahoma mixing desk of romantic, hypnotising video game fermentation and enthusiastic pounding chords of elation. Thrilling his way across a variety of top-end kick drums and rumbling basslines, PrototypeRaptor is about to take any clubland roof right off. Deadmau5 - The Veldt (PrototypeRaptor’s Serve Over Ice Bootleg Remix) Enya - Orinoco Flow (PrototypeRaptor’s Sailing Away Bootleg Remix) [...]
We recently introduced you guys to PrototypeRaptor , a producer who's beginning to make waves with his refreshing, yet complex style of electro house and dubstep. Continuing with this nautical theme, he continues to show his versatility with this fun remix of Enya's "Orinoco Flow," a tune that will no doubt bring back nostalgic memories for all you 902s kids out there. Released in celebration of hitting the 3,000-fan mark on Facebook , PrototypeRaptor adds plenty of his signature fidget basslines and 8-bit elements, but still preserves the serenity and playfulness of the original. [...]
PrototypeRaptor is a relatively unknown producer who has been making HUGE beats recently. Today, he gives us a free bootleg track; on his Soundcloud he claims it is a quick remix for reaching the 3000 likes milestone on Facebook. Regardless of what he says, this is much more than just a "quick" remix and I am absolutely loving this so far. The song is upbeat and instantly puts you in a happy mood. Enya 's vocals are catchy and goes perfect with the funky electro sound in the background. If you like Prototype [...]
Don't get comfortable. It's not too often that I find a dozen songs worthy of a Friday playlist. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any picture of 12 UFOs chasing the weekday stress away. The above donuts will have to do. All different and all delicious. Is Enya below? Yes. It's a remix and it's great. There are two songs from Daughter , a band I'm calling a Bon Iver - Florence + The Machine hybrid. The rest are equally amazing... Cory Gunz on the 1982 track spits fire over the delightfully soulful remix... Oofda, [...]
Hey team! Remember the incredible vocal abilities of Enya ? This Irish song bird has won an impressive 4 Grammys and she even created the them for Lord Of The Rings entitled May It Be . We'll were bringing her back with PrototypeRaptor's Sailing Away Bootleg Remix of her breakout song from all the way back in 872 called Orinoco Flow . I know that's a mouthful, but it's also an enjoyable earful. We have posted a few tracks by PrototypeRaptor in the past and usually they go with [...]
Fresh off the boat is PrototypeRaptor 's new remix. Remixing Enya 's "Orinoco Flow" for his Facebook followers as a thank you for getting 3,000 fans. This remix caught me completely off guard, and I'm so glad that it did. This track brings the ambient and soothing vocals of Enya into a completely new spectrum of music, with the help of PrototypeRaptor's great upbeat 8bit style. There is just something about this track, with its fidgety funky tones, it's hard not to smile and want to dance while listening to. [...]
An Enya remix sounds so obvious right? The hippie dippie new age melodies lend themselves perfectly to a funkified electro house remix and that's exactly what PrototypeRaptor made to mark having 3K Facebook fans. Now the funky Irish lady that your mom used to (still does?) listen to has gotten the twist that we've been looking for. It's been months since we've been saying that a producer should get in the kitchen and cook up a bootleg suitable for the dance floor, and here we've finally gotten it. Enya - Orinoco [...]
New one from PrototypeRaptor . Let's all sail away, y'all. Enya - Orinoco Flow(PrototypeRaptor's Sailing Away Bootleg Remix) by PrototypeRaptor
Still a teenager, Austrian vocalist and pianist Anja Plaschg debuted her project Soap And Skin on Lovetune For Vacuum (PIAS, 2009). These piano lieder mainly exploit the melodramatic skills of the vocalist, capable of alternating ecstatic melisma and whispered laments. Consequently the mood ranges from the solemn, philosophical Sleep to the childish, bouncing Spiracle . The accordion-driven elegy Cry Wolf , however, achieves an otherworldly quality. She is at her most virile in the lugubrious Thanatos . She is at her most sentimental in the tender lullaby Extinguish Me (with a piano melody reminiscent of Beethoven's Pathetique ) and in [...]
