Year: 2009

Label: Unknown

-----------------------------------------

First off, if you don't like Deadmau5, screw you, get out. Just kidding. No, we love you. Anyway, if you don't like Deadmau5, then you will just have to deal with constant posts about him. Why? Because I love his music so much? Nah, the real reason is because he releases another one like EVERY OTHER WEEK. I could almost fill up tracks of the week with almost entirely his work, it's crazy.

Anyone who has ever heard Ghosts n Stuff will be in for a treat. Just like his other tracks like Complications, Secondary Complications, The Reward is Cheese, The Reward is More Cheese, Hi Friend, Bye Friend, now it's Moar Ghosts n Whatever. Man, I wish he cared enough to actualy name them better names. Just kidding, it's actually pretty freakin pimp. Anyway, this track is just another step past the amazing, epic, bassy organ chords from the original Ghosts into a land of pure electro with really danceable beats. Admitted, he probably could've done better on this song, but come on, gimme a break, he woth the "Beatport's Most Influential Producer Award" two years in a row. He rose from some Canadian kid who screwed around in FL Studio to an amazing world renowned DJ who is reinventing the live performance as we know it.

Fricken prodigy.

Honestly I havent't heard a bad song by Deadmau5 ever. So just peep the track here. Pay him money for it.

Track of the Week - 1983

1983
(click to play)

Artist: Flying Lotus

Album: 1983

Label: Plug Research

Year: 2006

Flying Lotus, (born Steven Ellison) is an experimental multi-genre music producer, disc jockey, and laptop musician from Winnetka, California. His debut album, 1983, was released on Plug Research Records in 2006. He is most famous (yet also uncredited) for the music in many of the segues of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, and he has also contributed remixes to fellow Plug Research artists, including Mia Doi Todd. His great-aunt is the late Alice Coltrane. He is affectionately referred to as FlyLo by fans and critics.

He signed with Warp Records in 2007, and, following his Warp debut—the six track Reset EP—released his second album, titled Los Angeles on June 10th, 2008.

Flying Lotus is commonly identified as a hip hop producer, but his style is drawn from many genres, including jazz, electronic, and Brazilian music. His hip hop beats are unique for their hazy, ambient sound, while his percussion is purposely slightly off time, creating a messier, more organic atmosphere.

Ministry of Sound - Progression vol. 2

Yesterday I got my hands on a copy of Ministry of Sound - Progression 2, and I've just been listening to it nonstop. This 2-disc album, mixed by Adam K and Hook N Sling is one of the biggest and best party albums to date. Relatively unknown because it was released on the MoS Australia label, it contains big name artists such as Chris Lake, JELO, Adam K, even Deadmau5.

The tracks on it are simply amazing. It has great party songs such as If You Knew (Feed me Remix) by Chris Lake featuring Nastala, genre-bending Slip by the illustrious Deadmau5, and good vocal tracks such as Need to Feel Loved (Adam K & Soha Vocal Mix) by Reflekt featuring Delline Bass. All classics.

ReleaseLog Says:

What started out as a ‘discovery’ compilation in 2008 has now established itself as a musical expedition cutting through the noise of Electro House into something much deeper.

The second volume in the series, Progression 2 is an emotive compilation of tracks mixed by Adam K and Hook N Sling. Driven almost solely by word of mouth, 2008’s Progression spread through the underground club community just as the reign of the super club came to an end. Despite not having
been mixed by a headliner, it continues to win new followers over with it’s peerless musical vision 5 months on.

Progression 2 showcases an epic selection of atmospheric tracks and heralds in a new era in the constantly evolving underground club scene. This time around, with two of the scene’s most prominent figures at the helm to mix the album Progression 2 will be taking in a string of special club events across the country.

Changes (Dirty South Remix)

Hey, this is Kalnz with another delicious dose of EDM. This one's been out for a while, but I just recently discovered it recently. I know, redundant.

Anyway, the track is Changes (Dirty South Remix) by Chris Lake featuring Laura V. Pretty good track. Let's hit it up.

Another [adult swim] Bumper

I'm sorry for posting another one of these again, but I just found another one, and the music is just as sick. Again, I think it's by Flying Lotus, but I'm not sure. If I ever get a hold of these tracks, I will definitely be posting them here. EDIT: The song is Woebegone by The Long Lost but I can't get my hands on it yet. Will do.

For now, unfortunately, you'll have to deal with this low-quality YouTube version:



Sorry about the last 3 posts being about the Adult Swim Bumpers, but ya gotta admit, they're great. I'll be posting something else soon.

Flying Lotus

I have recently discovered an artist called Flying Lotus. Pretty freaking good.

He's released several albums including seven EP's, six singles, and three full albums. He is well known for his contributions to the Adult Swim commercial bumpers, yet is completely uncredited. You can read more in detail about him here.

Meanwhile, have a listen to a couple of his more popular songs:
1983 is a good one, but you gotta let it get past the intro.

Track 2 (Yes, that's what it's actually called)

Adult Swim Commercial Bumper

I saw this video while watching [adult swim] one night, and the music was just so good, so I tracked down the video, posted it on youtube and then on the blog. It's crappy quality, but the music is great. I really want to find it.
