Jesse Taylor, Michael Wilson, and Jesse Carmichael have known eachother and made music together since they were 14 years old. This recent collaboration called Wildcat! Wildcat! exemplifies quality taste, sexy beats, and beautiful thoughtfulness in songwriting… Wildcat! Wildcat! - Mr. Quiche via Ryan Radler
Whenever someone finds out what I do the first question they ask me is what my favorite type of music is. Like clockwork my mind immediately drifts into the epic world of all the music I've consumed and by the time I come back down to earth I always say the same thing - I like everything. Look at my record cases, you'd think I was tasteless..." - G.O.V. And it's pretty much the only honest answer I can give. However, there is one genre that's pretty much [...]
I am ready for everything to happen right now, I want it all right now! I just had to come out and say it, this past couple weeks has been non- stop trying to get into the LA groove and I am already missing NYC. I feel like its so easy to get side tracked in LA with all the "chill" activities to take your mind off of what it really is you are supposed to be doing, but then you need to quickly snap back into reality and remember sometimes there is too much of a good thing, or [...]
And we're back... As many of you know I've been a hundred miles and running since moving to LA and with my renewed love for hard work and execution I don't think I'll be stopping anytime soon. I've never worked a day in your typical office but for some reason high level corporate execution of companies like Apple fascinates me right now. This company is making life changing products that are revolutionizing industries left and right. They're making an impact on contributing to the world like almost no one else, I mean the latest iBooks textbook and publishing tools will literally [...]
If you're anything like me, you're obsessed with all things Gotye related. Not only has he proven himself as a remarkable musician, but his artistry often times leaves listeners in awe, again, like me. Something I think about a lot, is how we can all rave about albums and say that every track is truly phenomenal, or that every track is terrible. Vast descriptions that summarize an entire album, without attention to each specific track. (This applies to the general people, not necessarily people who get paid to write about music...they try to put together quite the in depth review) [...]
Ethereal - extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world. Press play on Ryan Radlers latest mix tape and that's exactly how the music will make you feel, immediately. The effect is no coincidence and if you're hip to the anti-summer/anti-winter concepts then you know that's what these tapes are all about... At the end of the day I think the mixes are really about how to navigate each season. Personally, winter has been killing me and this mix is literally some catharsis to cope with the stuff that comes. Cold, depression, [...]
To anyone who has listened to Gotye's Making Mirrors album, I found this 10 minute documentary truly inspiring since the viewer is able to grasp the musical ingenuity of his creative process. After first listening to the Making Mirrors album, Gotye's refined sound illuminates an incredibly distinctive musical journey of eclectic tracks which in turn, presents a truly engaging listening experience. I was lucky enough to snag tickets to Gotye at the El Rey in LA next week and I haven't been this ecstatic in quite some time, for good reason. Enjoy the weekend everyone. [...]
French kids take on The Motto beat, these kids are nice. Check out their EP "La Source" 1995 - The Motto Remix (Nekfeu x Sneazzy x Alpha Wann)
Hey guys, sorry for the lack of posts, this new year has been so busy and full of new exciting endeavors!! Excuses aside, EMPT has something very special for you all, a very exclusive track; Capital Cities hit the mark with this Fresh Madonna cover! Capital Cities is an LA based band that has just finished touring South America and they are 98.72s band of the month!! This is pretty bad ass if you ask me, and whats even better is that they are playing their Close To Home Show at the Viper Room this coming Monday January 30th, so [...]
What's up EMPT nation? So for this Thursday I decided to give props to an upcoming band I've been digging a lot the last few months. Urban Cone hails from Sweden, yet again the Nordic country produces another gem, not sure what's in their milk up there but they're producing artists out the yin-yang lately. This band showed promise on their EP this past summer so I'm assuming they'll make noise when an album is released in the near future. I stumbled on a few remixes of the track Freak which are stellar so had to share with you all. The first [...]
I'm in Cali, the weather is nice, I'm renewing my love for the grind, so many pretty girls, feeling healthy and I'm flying up and down these streets in my A5 with the... Top like a rock star, I got a fast car We can cruise the city, doin' a buck-sixty ... - Jay-Z To top it off Steph just sent me a new the first LMDM of 2012 - sometimes you just gotta take it all in... So it's no secret, I've been MIA lately. [...]
EMPT nation... it's been far too long since I've posted which is inexcusable, so I apologize for my absence. Given the new year of 20-12, I've reconnected with what I love to do most and that's share the gems of the music world to you all. Ah, it feels so good though to be back on here posting so I've reached back to 2010 to find a suiting track to complement my post for today. I recently listened to the track, Can't Shake this Feeling from Scotland's Grum and this track hit all the right notes for this Wednesday and I hope it does the same for [...]
I just watched this documentary called Being Elmo about Kevin Clash, you might not know his name but you certainly know his work, he's the guy behind universally renowned Sesame Street Elmo character. Now this may sound odd to all you jaded old folks but the story is absolutely inspiring. I won't say much about it but it's great story about a guy who never let the insignificant normalities of society hinder his limitless imagination. We ALL have this power but for some reason or another many of us stifle our unique dispositions to fit in, we suppress our questionable [...]
There's not much to say here, this is one of the best covers I've heard in 2012. My little (not so little) brother showed it to me, and I'm so glad he did. I used to show him all of the good music when we were younger, and now more often than not he ends up showing me all the good tunes. So cheers to covers and 2012! And a big thanks to Dean Hefnawy. Enjoy!
I have got to keep my distance The pounding of my heart can't be disguised I feel electrical resistance Oh how I want your touch, I want your touch Hold all the crazy inside yeah Don't want to have to rewind no How do I get you to feel what I feel for you I will hold on to you like [...]
