Hey everyone! All of us here at The Boombox Incident are real busy right now with moving to different cities, starting new school programs and working hard to pay the bills. We're taking a little break for the next couple weeks. Come September, we'll be back in full force!
Here's part two of our week of posting dedicated to the wonderful sounds of electro-meets-RnB from the 80s (a.k.a. glorious summer music). Some male vocals this time from Ready for the World. DL the track: Ready for the World - Oh Sheila Peep the video that I can't embed (grrrr....)
Buffetlibre just dropped some music into our mailbox and we'd love to share it. The first is a remix of Cartridge's song The Woods. It's a playful, electropop remix with some happy sounding synth work with a touch of 8-bit in the background. Grab it: Cartridge - The Woods (Buffetlibre Remix) Next up is a collab of Buffetlibre and fellow spaniards, Sidechains. This track is a lot more housey with a beefed up low-end, and features those familiar vocals from Little Boots. [...]
I've been having trouble with Zshare and some other sharing sites lately. We've received some great music and mixes in our mailbox and would love to post them. Once this (my computer?) gets fixed, everything will go up. Hopefully tomorrow we'll have some music and mixes from Kitch & Sync , Jackamo and a few others.
I was listening to SModcast (Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier's podcast) a few days ago and heard this Jets track for the first time. After looking it up on Youtube I stumbled upon an amazing subgenre of music that was quite prevelent in the 80s. I've always loved the cheesy funk from the 80s such as Evelyn 'Champagne' King and D-Train, but this new discovery steps of the cheese. If you love corny, sugary RnB vocals and classic electro beats, stabs and synths than you're in luck because everyday for the next week I'm going to post a [...]
My favorite music videos aren't full of elaborate dance numbers; they don't use CGI of any sort; they're roughly as long as the original song and they certainly reflect the budget given to the producers. Most of my favorite music videos are hip hop videos from the late 80s and early 90s. This is one of them. *the look on KRS' face at 0:24 is priceless.
Hey Hey Hey! Hey hey hey! Diplo & Laidback Luke - Hey! (I just heard a gun shot outside my apartment window, hey hey hey!)
Here's another track from the UK native, Vegas residing Darkartois . As much as I enjoyed his Queen remix, this track steps everything up a bit; the bass, the dark, murky atmosphere and the overall quality. 'Nightmare' is filled with low end goodness and some gothic sounding orchestral stabs, perfect for the end of the night. Snag it here: Brainbug - Nightmare (Darkartois Remix)
I love this video! I'm sure it wasn't filmed in one shot, but it sure looks like it. Alfonso Cuaron, eat your heart out!
That's right y'all, it's finally here. I could bore you with all of my excuses......so I will! Recently I got a new laptop, upgraded to Torq 1.5 (for free!) and bought a new external, USB powered hard drive for DJing purposes. The combination of working the kinks out of Torq 1.5 on a Macbook, re-organizing all of my music and planning to move (in late August) had set me back in terms of mixing for your pleasure. I had to get all of this finished before July 26th because I'm spinning at an autoshow [...]
I'm glad music labels are allowing music videos from their artists to be posted on Youtube. Some of these companies even have their own channel. It still sucks though when you want to embed something on a blog. Bah. Anyways, this video certainly does not suck. Check it. Here's some vids I wanted to embed but can't: Real Life - Send Me an Angel '89 Eric B and Rakim - Follow the Leader Ice Cube - It Was a Good Day [...]
So I finally got around to recording a Monday Mixdown this weekend, and it was a beaut' too. To my chegrin, I listened to the mix before posting and it sounded terrible! There was a problem with my setup (not to simply blame the equipment), that was creating a skip/doubled sound, especially on the bass hits. I did some rooting around in message boards, but didn't find a solution. So I went and checked everything I could from cords and stylii to records and software. Finally I discovered that the problem was only with certain MP3s. In particular, the ones [...]
I haven't been paying much attention to the music coming out of Ireland, but I'm going to start. Splitloop is a dynamic duo from Dublin (see what I did there...) that has a full album coming soon. I'm a big fan of Rico Tubbs , so I was pleased when I heard the great treatment given to his track 'The Party'. It's a lot of fun and a definite dancefloor burner. Check out their Myspace and grab some more of their music from Beatport . Rico Tubbs [...]
Let's take a look at what's been dropped into our mailbox in the last week or two, shall we? First up we've got Darkartois . Originally from the UK, but now residing in Las Vegas delivers some bass-heavy music that doesn't disappoint. I love his self-description put up on Myspace, which says: "I am 25. I am from the UK. I am living/mutating in Las Vegas. I am not a bandwagon laptop dj. I am one person. I am influenced by [...]
I have to give credit to Mad Decent for this. It was posted over there about a week ago. Baby Rasta Y Gringo are still around, tearin' up the Reggaeton scene with others such as Daddy Yankee and Pitbull. I prefer this old skool stuff.
After a crazy couple weeks we're back in action. Coming this week we'll have more music videos, artist profiles, mixtapes and of course...music! As for now, check out NOLA Bounce! I was looking around the internets for some good New Orleans Bounce resources and stumbled across a site dedicated to the style. Why hadn't I found this earlier? Gah! Emynd from Philly is one of the writers, along with some other dudes. There's lots of background and history, music and mixes to keep you busy. Here's one of [...]
So the soundtrack to my summer is lining up to be pretty good. With the arrival of the Major Lazer album (finally!) and Discovery 's album coming out July 7, 2009 is looking to be pretty hot. Now, anybody notice that Prince Zimboo sounds like the Jamaican Juvenile here? Okay, obviously I'm referencing the classic 'Ha', but I'm guessing I'm not the only one who made that connection. Juvenile - Ha by UniversalMusicGroup
9 times out of 10... I don't really care. About anything. Seriously, school is just that depressing. But every now and then you get something like this.
