Sound Of The Atlas

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Started my PhD today. Below is La Jolla, California – I might be heading there in the future…

La Jolla, California

Listen: Atlas Sound – Shelia ←♥♥
Listen: The Very Best – Julia (Javelin Re-do) ←♥♥
Listen: HEALTH – Die Slow (Tobacco Remix) ←
MP3: Atlas Sound – Shelia
MP3: The Very Best – Julia (Javelin Re-do)
MP3: HEALTH – Die Slow (Tobacco Remix)

Atlas Sound’s album is fantastic – this is a standout along with that one with Noah Lennox from Animal Collective.

Javelin have once again come up trumps with this dirty little switcheroo.

I just like this HEALTH remix – do I need a reason?

Death By Proxy

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

I have a dilemma. My big MSc year hand-in is due on August 20th but I just recently found out The Proxy is coming to Edinburgh! The question is ‘should I go?

Like this track from A-Trak and Armand Van Helden a.k.a. Duck Sauce. Very funky. I the funk.

Listen: Duck Sauce (A-Trak & Armand Van Helden) – Anyway

moby mistake lifelike remix

This Lifelike remix caught my ear too! Very dark. Very 80s. Very Gary Numan. Very good.

Listen: Moby – Mistake (Lifelike Remix)

Atlas Sound (Feat. Noah Lennox) - Walkabout

Saw this over at Gorilla Vs. Bear. Exactly what you’d hope a collaboration between Deerhunter and Animal Collective would sound like.

Cassette Club

I was perusing the RAKETA blog (well, as much perusing you can do when you can’t read Russian) and found this really great summer mix from a Russian group called 7he Myriads. I know what you’re thinking. I love the use of 7 instead of a T as well. Aaanyway, was deciphering the tracklist and trying to work out what I was listening to and found this band called Cassette Club (the song in the mix was ‘Living In A Video‘). Decided to check them out for myself (hi google) and discovered that they’ve had literally no blog coverage. WTF!? Songs this good should not go unheard. Well fret no longer my love, help has arrived in the form of a 23-yr old Scotsman. Whodathunk eh?

Listen: Cassette Club – Talk To Me
Listen: Cassette Club – Living In A Video
Listen: Cassette Club – Number Seven ←♥♥♥ (All removed by request)
MP3: Cassette Club – Talk To Me
MP3: Cassette Club – Living In A Video
MP3: Cassette Club – Number Seven

Number Seven is my favourite out of this selection. Crying out for a remix too.

7he myriads

Listen: 7he Myriads – Megapolice
MP3: 7he Myriads – Megapolice

Lets big-up 7he Myriads, then, for letting us hear this new band. Megapolice sounds like the soundtrack to a 70s car-chase movie (yeah, yeah i know Bullitt was 1968). Really good actually.

I feel like I’ve gone off point.
What was the point of this post?

The Proxy!
