Sunday Hip Hop Hits: Erick and Parish Making Dollars
One of my all time most influential groups on my current hip hop tastes is a group called EPMD, or Erick and Parrish Making Dollars (or Erick and Parrish Millenium Duckets). They’re a duo from Long Island NY, and has both embodied and shaped the East Cost Sound for over twenty years now, having released their first (and highly influential) album in 1988. I had heard of them...

Ten Great Florence and the Machine Remixes and Mashups
So Cosmic Love has been popping up again and again lately, I guess because it’s the last single from Lungs, and probably also because people are desperate for their album slated for next year. My favourite track out of this bunch is probably the Indeep mashup.. I love that vocal. I’m still hoping that the Twelves release their remix of it, because it’s absolutely...

More Magnetic Man
I’m immediately drawn to the sound of the bass in this one. The soft rumble kills it with those amazing Trance-like synths overtop. The Dubstep take over is upon us. If you have been following the last few posts I’ve thrown up they are all videos of this nature with 3 common elements. Dubstep....

The 30 Hottest Songs From the Blogosphere: September 2010
This month’s best of the blogosphere post is dominated by dubstep, synth laden dance, and filter disco. I’ve been gearing up for a series of disco sets, so that might be why I’m feeling it more – hip hop has taken a bit of a backseat for me over the last three weeks, despite my trip down to NYC for Rock The Bells. My favourite song I heard this month is, by...

Tuesday Top Ten: August 31, 2010
This week’s top ten, coming in rather late (sorry!) is chock full of new, and new’ish dubstep, deep house, and nu disco. It’s so late that I’m not even going to try and say anything insightful, but I will make mention of the video for Magnetic Man’s new(ish) single I Need Air, which is an achievement in terms of capturing the energy of the song in...
