So I'm seriously trying to get my take on the new Daft Punk album out, but I still feel like I need to listen to it a couple more times. My very first impression on the album was it was mediocre, but with each subsequent listen, it quickly changed to godlike. I think it needs to settle a bit before I write anything more about it. Starting off with an amazing track once again remixed by CHVRCHES of MS MR . I love it. It could be a CHVRCHES [...]
So turns out Daft Punk is feeling awfully nice and is streaming their upcoming album out May 21 on iTunes. Who knows for how long, but listen to it as soon as possible! As I am still stuck at work, I will have to wait until I get home until I get a chance. Knowing my luck, it'll be down by then. Just open their artist page in iTunes, click that "View in iTunes" button and it'll lead you to preview the album for free!
It's out! The real thing. Daft Punk 's newest single Get Lucky officially marks their return to the real world. Soon to be followed by their upcoming album Random Access memories due for May 20, or if you're lucky enough to be in Australia or do shady business, May 17. I'm also pretty excited for their 7-yearly Alive tour which I hope they will be coming to Toronto. I'm hoping for a better venue than last time's Arrow Hall in Mississauga, but I guess you have to make sacrifices when you have [...]
I'm excited for Daft Punk's upcoming album, but I've vowed to avoid posting stuff until its official released. Too much mashed up stuff from commercials. I can't wait for the real thing, I hope it lives up to my expectations because I've been waiting 8 years for this. That's typically a recipe for disaster with such anticipation for a given album, but to be honest, I don't even know what to expect. It's really a blank slate at the moment, but my hope is this will squelch that awful mess they call dubstep. Moving [...]
So new these songs by Young Galaxy is getting me pretty excited for their upcoming album Ultramarine coming out in just under a month on April 23. Especially New Summer with that super weird chord by I don't even know what instrument, the keyboard? I love weird sounds like that in tracks. It's so easy to do your generic chords and riffs in songs, even a little change is wonderful. Side-note, I'm getting over my stigma of using outside players. Soundcloud is pretty awesome, but I won't make a habit [...]
Finally got a chance to post! Lemaitre is awesome, we needed something like this for a while. Reminds me of a mix between Bag Raiders and Daft Punk, I can't get enough of Continuum . I'm hoping for great things from this duo from Norway, keep this sound because Bag Raiders just wasn't the same when they released their first album. Did anyone see the Daft Punk ad yesterday by the way? Anyways, this is feeling like it will be a good year for electro.
sebastian szwajczak Aye, surely I would have anticipated this, but I was unexpectedly signed up to some courses. Yes, I never noticed until a week after the courses had started that I was enrolled, so I am much busier than I ever want to be. Unfortunately this means the blog will take a back seat in terms of priority, I am really hoping Sundtrak isn't on its last lifeline here. I remember when I first started out, I saw other music blogs simply closing because the owner didn't have the time to manage [...]
Well, it's the new year. Apologies for slacking on posts. You know, end of the semester, exams, busy; no I'm not that young, I'm just old and still in school. No more! So what was your most memorable moment in 2012? Oppa Gangnam Style? Ugh, I know, wait can you play it again? For Sundtrak? Probably the blog much needed facelift, it looks similar but functions much better. Possibly also having the amazing remixes coming from RAC, Robotaki and The Magician that set things [...]
Well, completely random tracks from last week. I was hoping to post them way earlier but things got in the way, alas here they are! I love anything Danger related, his music is amazing and totally brings me back to French electro house. If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and listen to his EPs. Only complaint I have about Danger is GIMME MORE TRACKS TO LISTEN TO!!! Great rendition of the track by Wolf Saga , although I can't seem to pinpoint what other track is sampled for the remix, [...]
Posting a great track from a the newest album The Presets released back in September called Pacifica. I've yet to fully listen to this album, I will have to do so now! I miss Australian electro, and I definitely find that The Presets is one of the duos that help define that genre of music. I love how clean Promises is, and like it just as much as the remixes. The Lifelike remix adds a nice baseline to the track, a small touch that gives it a bit more of [...]
Some administrative stuff to start off this great week, great for a Monday right? Contact method is different now for anyone still emailing me at my old email, that email will no longer work. I was receiving upwards to 50-100 emails a day, at least half of them was spam. Now there's a nice contact form you can use here . A little more steps to contacting me, but this ensures that I will actually read your email now unless bots figure that out too and spam me to hell again! If you are [...]
lastnightsparty No that isn't Rebecca Black, sheesh. Got some great tracks for you today, and despite them being popular on Hype Machine, I actually found most of them on Soundcloud ! What a great place for music. Starting off with a great track suggested from one of you guys, the Plastic Plates remix of Strange Talk Cast Away . Awesome remix, thanks for forwarding it to me, more of this! Second is the RAC remix of Chromeo Bonafied' Lovin which I though I [...]
Well, not really the end of the world, but windy (except in New York where it is the Day After Tomorrow). Here's some music the pass the time. Yes, you are correct! The Magician remix of Lykke Li 's I Follow Rivers . I haven't heard a better remix of the track, all the other remixes are intense trance ones. But this remix segues perfectly into this second track, the Zimmer remix of Pompeya Power . If I were to make a mix, this would [...]
So I've been deciding for a while, should I revamp Sundtrak? I've had the same theme up for at least three years. The theme is still made to fit screens that go with 800×600 resolution or less. The audio player is still using flash, everything is moving away from that. I can't even play any of the music on this blog on my phone! My blogroll hasn't been updated in at least a year, half of those blogs are probably gone by now. Just to let you know, I've noticed. The player won't [...]
Starting off the week with some non-remix tracks. Starting off with Strange Talk 's Cast Away which I heard on Hype a couple weeks ago and fell in love with it almost instantly. I thought it sounded very familiar but in a distant kind of way, rightfully so for two different reasons. They're part of that Australian wave, which I was fully into a couple years ago, but I have since sadly not heard much of lately. The more obvious reason was because I posted their track Eskimo Boy a while [...]
Came across this great track, it's got that retro sound that I have a weakness for, Jupiter's Juicy Lucy . Some great remixes of the track by Punks Jump Up , somehow they managed to make it sound even more retro? Remember two posts back when I posted that track by Lacquer ? Well, this remix by Little Boots reminded me of that. I love that track, so I can't help but love this remix. Lastly, the Zimmer remix that has a lighter touch to the track. [...]
atelier olschinsky Starting off with the Soulwax remix of Arcade Fire Sprawl II , so much love for this. I love The Suburbs, and a Soulwax remix of a track from that album? Can't go wrong. Unfortunately this has been sitting on my desktop for months at least; the drawbacks of not posting a lot is you get a lot of backlog. Second is the RAC remix of Escort Starlight . As you will see in this and future posts is, I [...]

So I've been AWOL again, this time with a valid reason. It's been a rough two weeks coping with the loss of my close friend along with everything else happening in life. No words needed, I always felt weird about reacting to a person who just lost someone close to them, telling them... "I am sorry for your loss." It always sounded weird to me, being on either side of things. Anyways, seems like I missed quite a bit, with all this Gangnam Style stuff going on, which rightfully is a pretty damn catchy song and [...]
I didn't have to look too hard for these ones, as per my last post; The Hype Machine isn't ALL dubstep, so this is all looking up! First off, the Lenno remix of Atlas Genius Trojans , what an amazing remix, loving what he did with the track. Listening to some Atlas Genius tracks, my indie self is getting really into loving the original track as well, so make sure you check that out. Second is a great track suggested by Steffen, the Parachute Youth remix of RUFUS [...]
