Done Hibernating




Ladies and Gents. Mr. Smooth is back! Its been ages since I tossed anything up here, but that doesn't mean I haven't been keeping atits of all the music making going on. I am very switched on about the coming summer and witnessing the birth of some new dancefloor legends. On that note -


Check out this teaser of the upcoming Alan Braxe/Starsmith summer wet dream:

MAD MARTIGAN

ACTOR: VAL KILMER
FAVORITE MOVIE: THE SAINT (Since he isn't the main character in Tombstone)

I know I haven't posted in forever. Sorry for that guys... job, life, winter you know how it is. The good news is that show season is here and I'm excited for some great new music this spring and summer.

I had to check this song from Death Electro out solely for the artist and title. While Mustard Pimp is highly regarded and relatively well known in the electronic world, I can’t say I’ve ever heard of Jimmy Urine. “Money Shot” opens with the following lyrics. “I’m drinkin’ alone at home and savin’ all my money. I’m jackin’ off tonight so I don’t need you honey… That’s the money shot.” Overall the song is one aggressive piece of electro. It’s catchy enough and the lyrics are so outlandish that I give it a decent rating.

check it out on itunes or hypem.

A little more on the mellow side, this jam from Beni opens up something like Groove Armada’s “Paper Romance” with that low persistent baseline. Then it evolves into a much more complex tune with some simple lyrics looped over it.

Beni - Its A Bubble (The Magician Remix) This is available for free from keepreal.org through itunes (click the link to reroute to the download page).

This song found on Vacay Vitamins is very upbeat, fast paced, and great for a dance floor. The interesting part about this song is that it is essentially six minutes of buildup that never really drops.

Tom Hangs feat. Shermanology - Blessed (Avicii Edit)

While I do like the Klaxons, I wasn’t thrilled with the release of their new big single “Echoes”. It took a little Steve Aoki retooling to get me into this jam. Completely different from the original and somewhat strange in the beginning of the song, the new variation of the chorus gets you into this remix.

Klaxons - Echoes (Steve Aoki Remix)

This weird little dubsteppy number is the offbeat jam of the week. I don’t even know how to describe it.

TV On The Radio - Will Do (XXXChange Dancehall Mix)

Midnight Conspiracy nails this remix of Glastnost on the head. This house monster booms so turn the volume up. Thanks from our friends over at Aerial Noise.

Alan Braxe lends some great spacey tempo to yet another intoxicating Ellie Goulding remix.

Ellie Goulding - The Writer (Alan Braxe Remix)

I’m sick of hearing the original on the radio. This Villa remix found on GDD is way better. If you’re going to listen to this type of raspy disgruntled female caterwauling then at least make sure the beat behind it is good.
