License To This | OCT 11’ - Might as well do some halloween tracks for this months Licence to This.

Round In Circles.mp3 - verbed out acoustic guitar paired with thrashy drums set the stage for a dark vampire bar that you might not be able to leave till morning. if you survive the night that is.
Slashing Wrists Raising Prices.mp3 - trudging through the mud on a revenge spree, vindicating his slain love. breakdown leaves time for quick reflection a couple slow motion kills then jumps back into the spree.
Out Is In.mp3 - badass rolles into town setting things straight. big guitar riffs, laid back tempo with just the right swagger.
Spooky Traveler.mp3 - tricker treaters with wholesome, hallmark levels of mischief in the works. organs, synth strings and harpsichord.
Clockwork Metal.mp3 - a reverse glass rhythm with reverse pads and snake rattles set the stage for a psycho or supernatural killer on a quiet night at summer camp. is anyone there?
Tranquil Shores.mp3 - sparse piano, strings and glock. the sun has come up after a week of battling zombies. a butterfly lands on a leaf. life will continue.
Dark Orchestral.mp3 - orchestral hip hop lays down the perfect foundation for some slow motion walking through the deserted streets.
Killa.mp3 - dark and erie pads break into Goldie’s famous drum and bass sound. pitched vox and breaks add to the demonic sound.
Fuzz Wasp.mp3 - bits missing from this low fi grinder. club music for the strange, scary and possibly living dead.
Control port.mp3 - driving beat with filtered synth punches. goth sound on a dark night driving a trans am.

Music and Things I Like | SEP 11’

Based on the rain, a slight color change of leaves and the sub 90 degree weather, I fear we are at the top of a slippery slope, sliding our way right through Fall into Winter. Before starting the decent, I plan on making the most of this month and any chances for warm weather clothes and activities!

Golden Spice.mp3 - head bobbing steady elctro-beat builds into a guitar ripper.
Say It.mp3 - dreamy mover keeps a fast pace with buzzy space synths, jangley guitar, live drums, and some filter female vocals.

Music and Things I Like | AUG 11’

Summer is fully upon us! We’ve had some amazing heat, concerts and block-partys here in NYC. Summer has also been the kick off of Spotify here in the states. I’m on it here and will be including some playlists links as I see fit.

//////////

JST.PRSS.PLY|> AUG 11’ - A mess. Fresh. As always, check out the JST.PRSS.PLY|> page for my ever-growing, unorganized, inspiring mix-tape.

RJD 2 and Aaron Livingston create Icebird, the soul dream team, and start with “Going and Going. And Gone.”
Made it out to see Company Flow’s back from the grave show a couple weeks ago. One of the highlight songs of the night - Patriotism
Travis Millard toy release video featuring El-P (yeah…more CoFlow ish) - http://vimeo.com/24446707
LA hiphop crew PacDiv give a little insight to their doings - http://vimeo.com/27181295 - listen for that crazy beat SwiffD drops at 1:45
Witch House is one thing. This is something else. Better. - http://youtu.be/-FHohtHMrvk
Swede Lykke Li’s cut “Rich Kids Blues” off this year’s Wounded Rhyme
been listening to Providence, RI’s araabMUZIK’s Electronic Dream. Its an space trance house r&b adventure. BT for 2011? Some messing around in the studio -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpCzOANMkso
I Break Horses throws another track out from her up coming debut Heart. “Winter Beats”
SD boys Pinback - interview with some insite into the band
Nas is Back with “Nasty“ - sounds like classic Nas hungry out of QB

//////////

License To This | AUG 11’ - I started this search off as Summer Mix 2, but thing veered a bit when checking out some of our new releases. Figure its better for the genre integrity of my playlist to suffer a touch for the sake of fresh jams.

Crush On You.mp3 - synthy pop tune with a nice boom chick beat. a quick drop leads into the anthemic chorus. with a nice breakdown and break up this one feels confident, tables have turned and things are on the up and up.
Summer Planet.mp3 - synth pop jam. kicking off summer right. synth drops out here and there for a nice bent guitar melody.
Bring It To You No Melody.mp3 - great building track with a strong slightly gritty guitar melody. a drum machine, a xylophone and some synth round this into a trotting a light summer piece that keeps on building.
Wunderkind.mp3 - driving acoustic strummer with a glock and some humming leading it along. slap your knee, enjoy the beach and watch the sun go down on the perfect day.
Digital dusk.mp3 - the name suites this simple digital but warm arpeggiation smearing. a simple dub step beat minus the wobble with a touch of “indie”, I could see this being the sound track for a late night or a dreamy day.
Milk.mp3 - arpeggiated guitar work leads this short and simple acoustic track into a thoughtful, caring and lovable place. feels like a hug and a sunrise at the same time.
Harvest ensemble.mp3 - this twangy number is backed by a serious string section. the bowed bass is amazing bringing up the low end. definitely a versatile track.
Pink Tuxedo.mp3 - a modern throw back. sounds like twisting on the beach with your long board….but just a bit off. break beats and morphed filtering lend the kitschy tune a modern touch and a bit of underwaterness.
Demonic mutants.mp3 - drop break beat kicks this track into some weirdo mutant samples and turntablism. I don’t know where to place this…but I like it. Maybe for a space lowrider dj scene. reminds me of Wave Twisters
Building A Robot.mp3 - this track came of our new CD that is coined “Themes for Slow Motion”. I love the concept and thats exactly what it sounds like. Give me a diving 808 kick any day of the week.

Lykke Li - Rich Kid Blues.mp3

Lykke Li dropped her second album and I finally had a listen. All in all…good…not great. This one caught my ear, as it is the single. Pretty sure I don’t dig the chorus but something in here (probably the organ) is what I’m about.
