Here is some tracks I've been jamming too, but just needed to get enough to make a playlist. With how this hangover is kicking my ass and making me cry for my mommy, i needed to get tough. So here are some tracks for that.
Here is a taste of some DIRTY dirty DIRTY dirty house music I've been tasting with my nutritional meals everyday. What do I eat you ask...just some dirty house beats of course!
JumpUpAndEnjoy!
Here is a taste of some new music that I've been digging through this dreary winter weather. The inability to go outside and see the sun is getting to me soooo you'll notice a lot of these tunes are slower and not as punchy (sometimes you just gotta get those heartbreaker jams going mi amigo)....besides a couple songs haha. ListenEnjoy!
I say a great interview with A-trak and this guy called Dj Mehdi who I didn't know, but it seemed like I should. Due to the great skill of my brain to forget everything right away, I never actually looked up his music. Then through the deep caves and mountains of soundcloud I came across one of his last sets ever. Yeah unfortunately I found out he died in 2011 from falling through one of his sky lites in his home. Still I feel it is a great service to you all for me to share this skilled individual's work.
So here is the mix.Enjoy!
Also I highly recommend checking out this interview with A-Trak and Dj Mehdi. Gives a lot of insight into their lives and labels
I was going all over the place in my mind trying to think about what to write.... not surprisingly after last night, i found nothing. Well actually i found too much just nothing really that made me feel the need to share
that was until i ran into this ep by Wildarms. WOW! it was fucking great!
I don't know much about my life direction as well as who this artist(s) are and where they are from, but i dig it to the fullest. Sit back..then get up and ask yourself why you would sit down when listening to these jams... then finally ENJOY!
I also find that "in the morning" sounds very similar to another song posted on this blog "Jerome LOL's cover of "yellow" by coldplay
You decide:
Lately I've been really obsessed with trance music. Just the pure emotion and the way it drags you around so here is some tracks that have really been on repeat for me. Grab a tissue couu cause dis be dat huard sheit. Listen and ENJOY!
So Everybody I've been out of the blog game for a sec due to finishing up college and starting to work on music.... dont worry my oh sweet sweet beauties I'm back. not in black but still im back.... anyway I thought to make sure this blog is on the constant stream of bullshit I WOULD bring a FRIEND so here she is CF Nitmore.

Read and ENJOY! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
Hey errybody, CF Nitmore checking in here. The anonymous cuteness who
usually does the writing is taking some time off from le blog to pursue
other artistic endeavors (Ableton), and while he’s cooking up beats, ima
be helping feed you children your musics. So please allow me to
introduce myself with Some Stuff I’ve Been Listening To:
1. Shigeto- “Ringleader”
One of the many awesome things about Shigeto is his beautiful Instagram
(follow him @__SHIGETO). Another is that he makes beautiful, dreamy,
jazzy, beautiful electronic music. Another is that he is signed to the
Ghostly International record label- consistently putting out some of the
best electronic music in… Michigan? The Midwest? Possibly the world.
Based out of Ann Arbor, MI, Ghostly is seriously a go-to stop to find a
billion amazing artists with weird names, like Dabrye, Tycho, Gold
Panda, Matthew Dear, ADULT., Phantogram…. I mean really any artist they
sign has the triple boom boom pow of being really talented, expertly
produced, and the finishing touch of a very artistically minded release,
etc. I have a lot more to share on the subject so I’m already thinking
that my next post will be a rundown of some Ghostly artists I love….
stay tuned.
2. Two Fingers- “Defender Rhythm”
One of my friends just turned me on to Two Fingers- collab project between
Amon Tobin and some drum n bass guy named Doubleclick- and I was Blown
Away. I had a hard time picking just one song to put here because their
stuff is that solid- no bad songs, all the perfect amount of deep and
dancey but out-there and weird enough to keep you on your toes. They
never get stuck in the repetition that is essential to a lot of
electronic, but (to me at least) can start to get boring after a while.
Their songs are just really badass. Just listen. Especially to anything
that has “Rhythm” in the title. (Also: Rhythm is totally one of those
words that you look at and it just never seems like it’s spelled right.)
3. Kankick- “Instrumental 3”
I really like hip-hop beats sans the actual rappers. I mean I love
regular ol’ hip hop too, but somethin about dem beats… I don’t know!
Just really does it for me. Obviously a big fan of Madlib, Dilla, etc.
Kankick is some dude I stumbled upon one day, and even though a lot of
his stuff features different MCs, I think he really shines when he
sticks to da beats. His Acid Massive Musical and his first album, From
Artz Unkown, are totally worth a spin. Sometimes he’s a little slow, but
always workin those chill, goody stoner vibes.
NOTE: Just learned through some wikipedi-ing that he grew up with Madlib, so that explains the similarities.
4. Mala- “Changuito”
So I guess it came out in 2012, but I didn’t learn about it until 2013, and Mala in Cuba was
definitely one of my favorite/most played albums of the year. My old
roommate showed me this shit like a year ago and I’m still not sick of
it. Follow UK dub producer Mala as he spends time in- you guessed it-
Korea (kidding- Cuba) making this album, influenced by the music, the
people, the dancing, the communism. This shit is dope. it’s got these
pretty little Spanish-style piano and guitar and trumpet pieces and then
this sick dirty dark bass just bringing it all home- dope. So good.
Also an album that moves along and transitions between songs really well
and kind of tells a story, yananamean?
5. Jeremih- “All the Time”
I am embarrassingly obsessed with this song. The first version I heard
was the Shlomo one- all sped up and shit, and also really good, but I
like the original better. This has a little chopped and screwed feel,
and it’s just slow and snakey and goodness. Jeremih is one of the top
“crooners” out there right now if you ask me. And i just really like how
the bleeping of “fuck” works into the song. That actually might be my
favorite part. Also, one of my weaknesses is slutty R&B. There’s a
version of this with Weezy F but that should just be ignored. This is a
good song for making babies.
Unfortunately I did an interview with this up and coming photographer a long time ago, but due to schedule conflicts could not post the interview. Within the time it took me to post this my old school tape recorder (uses cassettes) broke and I lost the whole interview. Zach has since moved making it impossible to redo the interview..... I really enjoy the feeling his work creates so here are some of his photos
This dude has been creating some of the greatest beats for awhile now and like many out there I never knew it was being mastered from his mind. Now knowing what he has done, I realize he is the reason for me really digging ASAP Rocky. He has come out with three mixtapes of instrumentals that he has developed in a genius manner.
One of my Favorites:
Lil B's team decided to try to rip off his beats, but as everyone knows that cannot happen. IT'S FUCKING CLAMS CASINO get real
another great one that was used by ASAP Rocky was this one
....
And Recently he dropped a new mixtape of instrumentals that are just fucking classic check it out. ENJOY!
Let me start off with saying yes I know you think Mat Zo is defined by his "Easy" track with Porter Robinson..... I'll admit I was in the same boat till I just said "FUCK IT" and downloaded the album.
WOW!!!! this dude is so beyond anything that track encompasses. He really is amazing and so far from a stereotypical "Stadium House" "Pop" label. This debut album Damage Control really show cases his full on music talent. Im a little over half way through and still feel the need to post about it because it already is that great.
Here is one of my favorite tracks so far:
Then a surpisingly laid back emotional track on the album is this one: The vocals are so slow and soothing
And just for shits and giggles (preferably at the same time) here is a remix of his "Lucid Dream" track
Classes are raping me at the moment, hence why i haven't posted in awhile.... but lets dive into a band that i recently have fallen in love with Poliça. These guys are amazing I love their echoing vocals and synth sounds here is a few songs to check out
And here is another classic which to me sounds like a gorillaz esque sound..i dont know you decide there
Also one thing I love about this band is that they are from the Midwest.... so gotta give them love for that. Midwest love
By the way their whole album is amazing I strongly recommend buying it FO REAL! ENJOY!
