tunes to study to

Hey guys I know its been a while, no one has posted for some reason or another. In any case here are some songs I'm currently obsessed with. The first is a remix of a Röyksopp song and is nice to listen to when you're trying to get things done...or in any circumstance as its just a good song: Remind Me (if you haven't used megaupload before, just enter the three letters and wait a few seconds on the next page for the download). The original is nice too. [...]

No Title

Essential Mixing Its been a while, I know. That is why I am here to tell you about the most complete electronic music collection online: BBC's Essential MIx. Since 1993, BBC has put out over 900 sets, of different Djs. This means that there is at least 2000 hours of music. Plus, the set are easily found online. It is hosted by Pete Tong who is one of the driving forces behind English electronic music. Who also compiled the first essential Mix in 1993. I tried to find this set, and surprisingly it was online. I heard the [...]

Austria contributes: Parov Stelar - Shine

Austria contributes: Parov Stelar - Shine Those of you who like to relax in style, prepare to hear great news - Parov Stelar came up with a new album, longer and better than anything he's produced before. An elegant mix of nu-jazz, breakbeat, downtempo and perhaps a pinch of lounge - but don't be scared, it is quite far from elevator music. Quite on the contrary, the tunes on Shine (2007) manage to engage, just enough to put you in a good, relaxed mood. His Myspace page perhaps will say this better than I: "The freedom [...]

Made in the UK: A Band Called Quinn

A Band Called Quinn - DIY
Hello friends, it is Friday again and that means it is time to relax, have a beer and check out some indie tunes. This week's project comes from the UK, and virtually nothing could be easier on your ears than A Band Called Quinn . I don't care much for the name, but purchasing their latest album, Sun Moon Stars (2007) from iTunes was ten bucks worth spending. Louise Quinn and Bal Cooke have been making music together for about five years already, or so their Last.fm page says. The same page [...]

Thank You Bristol! Montreal?

The Day Today - Chris Morris - Jam Festival Interview
Various genious fragments of popular culture have arisen from the beatiful city of Bristol. Bristolians such as Portishead and Massive Attack, have been on the mainstream since the 90s. As some of the founders of trip hop they have travelled the world promulgating their music. Trip Hop, is a style of down-tempo music that combines hip hop with acid jazz, electronica and dub. [...]

Hello Friends

I don't know about you guys but its the midterm time of the year for philosophers. Between memorizing theories of international organizations and working out obscure, 50-year old theories of language there's little time for the interwebs and music; I wish I had more material for you to purview and enjoy. What we do have today are good studying songs, jazz electrojazz and funkish type...stuff. This ain't what your snobby jazz nerd listens to; you'll just have to wait and hear it yourself. First up is Medeski Martin and Wood , a band from Brooklyn NY [...]

The Russian Connection: Zemfira - Vendetta

The Russian Connection: Zemfira - Vendetta Though deviating slightly from the electro theme, here's something that some may find to be worthy of a listen. If the words "russian", "indie", "pop-rock" and/or "electronica" fail to excite you while used in the same sentence, read no further. If, however, you're feeling slightly more adventurous, I'm pleased to introduce you to a rather significant part of popular Russian culture - Zemfira . A rather feisty and charismatic character, she and her band took over the popular scene in 2000, almost overnight, owing their success partly to Mumiy Troll , the U2 of [...]

No Title

Not all of us had the willingness and energy to take part of the great party experience provided by the mtl new ravers and felix cartel. Personally, the weekend was used for resting and investigating the results of the english premier league. Arsenal, now top of the league, achieved a very important victory over Manchester City. 'Manu' Adebayor continued he's goal scoring streak, getting 2 more goals. So far he has scored 19, same as C. Ronaldo. Prior to the weekend fixtures, Man. United the goal difference. Tottenham and Juande Ramos, with their new transfers, [...]

Electro Mecca?

Now that you've posted some of the crowd pleasers, I thought I'd post something about the pleased crowd. Here's a sample of the people that showed up. Some of the most entertaining outfits weren't represented here though.... I don't see any inflatable life-rings or rainbow suspenders. Pretty good party photography... but not as good as the cobrasnake .

Last Night's Bangers

Montreal Nu Ravers put on a fantastic show for their one year anniversary at S.A.T. last night. I thought I'd post a few of the crowd pleasers from the evening. The first track is a mashup of one of Felix Cartals originals, Moss vs. Tree, produced by Zhiguli ( myspace ), an Ukrainain DJ. This version of the song wasn't played but you'll be sure to recognize it, along with the other tracks. Enjoy. Moss vs. Tree (Zhiguli mashup) - Felix Cartal D.A.N.C.E. (Les Rythmes Digitales remix) [...]
