My love for music encompasses different genres, but i do admit remix is the least genre you'll find on my player. If the non-remix version totally rocks my ass, why improvise it right? Of course there are those better pumped up with more beats and bass to fully accentuate the songs. And even I couldn't resist to maximize the volume. Stand-out tracks: L.E.S. Artistes, Girls & Smooth Criminal Love Lockdown (Chew Fu Small Remix)- Kanye West Girls (Spruce Lee and Kato Remix) - Walter Meego Pleasure [...]
Summer's over and everyone's back at work or school. It's sad, but were just gonna have to wait another year till that beautiful time again. So since summer's gone and I can already see the stress charging towards me, and i'm sure some of you feel the same way, here's a little segment i'll bring out from time to time to take you mind off whatever you got going on. I put some really good stuff in there so check it out. Crimewave (Kilowatt Remix) - Crystal Castles [...]
The time has come for the return of everyone's favorite blog based automaton. That's right, Wesley is back and he is encouraging the lot of you to do your homework early so you won't be stressed out. Which is a good idea, but often easier said than done. Perhaps it's easier for him to say so because his computer chip brain allows him to be the ultimate multi-tasker. Anyway, here are some tracks I've been enjoying lately. Walter Meego - Forever Shy Child - The Volume [...]
It's kind of funny, during the entire summer I didn't go to any concerts at all, save for The Faint in Philadelphia. Then when school starts (i.e. when all my free time disappears) I'm going to concerts almost every weekend. Why might this be? Well the number one reason is that I'm currently unemployed! So carting my jobless butt around the greater New York area has never been easier! This past weekend I once again made the tumultuous trip to Rochester, NY to see Walter Meego and Ra Ra Riot at the Bug Jar. Whose owner, I must [...]
Photo by Frank Yang Most things I've read about Ra Ra Riot seem to reference Arcade Fire , and this perplexes me. Yes, I see the superficial and quantitative similarities - large-ish co-ed bands with a distinct orchestral flavour and who put on terrific live shows, but the spirit of what the two bands do seem so diametrically opposed to me, that putting one down in the "RIYL" column for the other just seems misleading. Whereas the Arcade Fire trade in weighty, some might say ponderous, themes and deliver it with equivalent [...]
The good folks at SWAK are bringing Walter Meego and Ra Ra Riot to Vancouver on September 21. This is definitely something worth checking out... get your tickets HERE . 'Romantic' never gets old... Walter Meego - Romantic (Tilliander Remix) Trazz is from Buffalo, NY and is signed to Fix Your Face Records. Is that not the best record label name ever? He's got a new track with Pitbull which should only [...]
This is for my Brother, Isaiah... who I had promised to post this mix a while back. For those of you who do not know who Autumn is, she is a very special person who I hold very dear to my heart (besides my two daughters, there is no one closer). I try to make mixes for her whenever I can and here is one from a few months back. Blaqk Audio – Cities Of Night [mp3] Brad Walsh – Do It In The Street [mp3] [...]
Loving the new Walter Meego album Voyager . Think Chris introduced me to them a long time ago, but checked the blog and don't think we've actually posted any tracks from them. Hmmm, that's not good, let's change that ASAP! Here's a new single I'm loving from them called 'Forever' plus a sweet Remix for 'Girls' that I've been playing out at da clubs! MP3: Forever - Walter Meego (YSI) MP3: [...]
Syracuse indie rockers, Ra Ra Riot [ Official Site , Myspace ] have put out their latest video for "Ghost Under Rocks", their first single from The Rhumb Line (Barsuk). It's a great introduction for many who might not no the act, and a slap in the face to them as well for having not known the band previously. Take that, late-comers. Come check out more Ra Ra Riot, including mp3s and tour dates "after the jump" [...]

Como vocês sabem, ficamos um tempo sem postar. Nesse período alguns artistas fizeram trabalhos realmente muito bons, e que merecem ser postados mesmo um mês depois de serem realizados. Revolte superou todas as nossas expectativas com Les Mecs Kleenex, música que conta com o vocal francês de Wonder . Com habilidade conseguem mostrar em poucos minutos o que de melhor a música eletrônica francesa tem a nos oferecer. Passem no myspace deles para checar também a nova música Treshold. Você provavelmente já deve ter ouvido o remix de Le Castle Vania para [...]

by calvin king From Ra Ra Riot - "We are excited to announce a 2nd new york show at the Bowery Ballroom on October 16th. Tickets go on sale this friday at noon. Show is 16+ and tickets are $15. Walter Meego and Morning Benders will be playing too." You can grab tickets here . Do it. DYING IS FINE BY RA RA RIOT :
Que no! Que no es Alter Ego ! Nada que ver, compañero! No serás uno/a de esos/as que se deja llevar por el nombre de un artista, verdad? Walter Meego es un duo yanki que igual se puede decir que está entre MGMT y Minitel Rose , blablabla. Pop marchosete, con electrónica pistera incluso, remixable, con canciones que tienen toque melosón que parece que busque captar el fanatismo de jovenzuelas enamoradas y ligoteo. Ojo, que la primera escucha del disco me pareció un bodrio y he acabado con Girls y What [...]
What a crazy ass weekend this has been... First the Olympics opened on Friday to one spectacular spectacular display on light and sound, only to turn out to be mostly faked . Then, I get news that Bernie Mac died Saturday morning due to pneumonia complications. THEN I hear about someone getting stabbed at the Olympics, a former Olympian! Isaac Hayes evidently couldn't take all this weekend hoopla either and he clocked out too. If that wasn't enough, this morning I read that we are steps closer to stealth [...]
Mi sono avanzate un po' di tracce electro sul desktop. Tanto vale pubblicarle, anche per provare un nuovo servizio di file hosting ( # ). Si perché BOXSTr col suo giga di bandwidth giornaliero non basta più e son costretto ad appoggiarmi ad altri servizi. L'ideale sarebbero quelli che permettono di hotlinkare i file ma se non riuscirò a trovarne di validi dovrò ripiegare sul fido MediaFire che mai mi ha dato noie (se non quella - appunto - di non poter linkare direttamente i file). Green Light [...]

If the summer wasn't kind of over (or ending) I'd say this was the Song of the Summer™. Maybe it still can be. What are the rules for nominating a song for the Song of the Summer™ title? Someone pull out the guidelines and we'll make an appeal. MP3 : Walter Meego - Forever - Sean
