The song that brought me back here

is this one right here. God damn. Here’s to starting fresh, folks.

California Girls by NoMBe

Krewella’s Figure

Lots of excitement in the past week, had my first real-life post-grad interview which can only mean ONE THING: ego-boosting jams all. damn. day.

 

Who better to build the momentum than bass-head mastermind Figure? And who better to remix than the funky future intelligencer Deltron 3030?

Deltron 3030 – Upgrade (Figure Remix) // “I reduce the game when I boost my brain”

 

And for a more inspirational Figure remix, Citizen Cope lights up all the right parts of your soul.

Citizen Cope – Lifeline (Figure Remix)

 

But really, you should get more amped on yourself if you’re about to go sell yourself.  Like they say, if you don’t have confidence in yourself, who will?

Enter Krewella.  Drum & Bass. Sexy vocals. Gets the blood pumpin.

Krewella – Come and Get it

 

Conveniently, Krewella just released an EP absolutely packed with solid remixes for the price of a “like” on their Facebook page.  One of my favorites, and another motivator, has to be this electro house gem.

Krewella – Alive (Cash Cash x DJ KalKutta Remix)

 

I could leave this post at that, but I feel like I’d be lying to you all if I didn’t include my all-time go-to ego boosting track.  If this doesn’t make your ‘tude too hot to handle, nothing will.  Give up those visualization techniques and resume tips and impressive yet humble interview responses and bangin yet professional outfit, because you’re egotistically screwed.

Now go get ’em tiger.

 

 

 

Eerie Surrealie Purity

Gorgeous yet slightly unnerving new video for Purity Ring’s track “Lofticries”, one that’s always deep in rotation at our pad.

In the words of director AG Rojas, “‘Lofticries’ is a music video exploring the stoicism of psychically connected characters confronted by surreal, climactic moments. It is also a song off my favorite album of the year by Purity Ring.”

Temptation Shines For You

Two lovely tracks for that burning nostalgia that lingers long after summer’s end, thinking of pretty things and feelings but feeling real lazy and bundled up, bathed in saudades.

 

Jernalism – Temptation

 

Catching Flies – The Stars

The colors shine for yoooouuuuu 🙂

Ya ever get that feeling…

…when music starts playing and you realize you’d absentmindedly been holding your breath throughout the silence?  And how long has it really been? geuh-AHHHHHHHH breathe deep!

 

Chet Faker – No Diggity (Refreshing take on the classic, and by far one of my top played of summer thus far)

 

Lord Huron – Time to Run (“Run away with me, it’ll all make sense” a solid upbeat, folk-y jam that’ll get your get-up-and-go runnin)

 

Let You Love Me (XXYYXX Remix) – Tinashe (Sultry but brisk electro beats with some tantalizing vocals)

 

You Look Aroused

This song is the light, turned on.

Float

Made it home after a nice spin through town on the beach cruiser, the hot afternoon sun dripping down through fresh green foliage, light breeze lifting my locks into the air, feelin in rhythm with life.  Found this song.  I do believe it’s the soundtrack to that sentiment.

 

Heard the remix first, but the original is absolutely lovely just the way it is.

Enjoylife 🙂

Raindrops

This one just took me straight back to slanted sunlight over the narrows, where I’m now fairly certain my heart has been residing, hiding out from the tumult of the lower 48.

My oh my does this song make it feel good to find it again.

James Blake never learnt to make drums smack like this

One of my favorite (albeit haunting) James Blake jams just got a bangin makeover.  It’s definitely helping to get the blood flowing and mind grinding on this meeting-filled Monday.  The sun is shining, spring is right around the corner, time to pick up the pace from the winter doldrums!

James Blake never learnt to make drums smack like this – M-Phazes

Falcons

This goes out to the beautiful people down the street exploring their inner dimensions.

Both are oh-so-lovely post-dub dreaminess!  The Bobby Tank remix has a more pretty, uplifting feel to it while the original carries an intense and mesmerizing echo-y depth throughout it.  A little somethin for both sides of the spectrum 🙂

Falcons – Nigeria
