E.T. Original Score ♫ Escape/Chase/Saying Goodbye - John Williams



John Williams might be one of the best soundtrack composers ever. His work on E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial was phenomenal. In fact director Steven Spielberg actually re-edited the film around the music, which is almost never done. Listening to it even today, I can picture the action in the movie, just from the music itself.

DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH :: Holden - Gone Feral



It's great to hear new music that really stands apart from the rest. Today, we have just that from James Holden. Gone Feral is a 6 minute track that is almost indescribable. The bass pounds, while the melody twirls and hums along. It truly is magnificient to hear and is a great example of why Holden will always be one of my favorite artists. Make sure you listen to this with headphones on to get the FULL effect.

Bonobo - North Borders [Full Album]



The bonobo, Pan paniscus, formerly called the pygmy chimpanzee and less often, the dwarf or gracile chimpanzee, is a great ape and one of the two species making up the genus Pan; the other is Pan troglodytes, or the common chimpanzee.

Simon Green, also known by his stage name Bonobo, is a British musician, producer and DJ. Green has recorded and performed solo DJ sets under the name Barakas, and together with Robert Luis from Tru Thoughts as Nairobi and Barakas.

North Borders is Bonobo's 6th LP. Released on Ninja Tune records 3 days ago on March 21, the LP includes collaborations with Eryka Badu, Szjerdene, Grey Reverend and Cornelia. It was due for release on 1st April 2013, but was released early in digital format after a promotional copy was leaked.

Bonobo uses a wide variety of samples in his music combined with heavy, often complex basslines. His music generally develops linearly - with new elements such as basslines or percussion coming in one after the other. In Days to Come, he mixes this sonic background with the clean yet distinctive vocals of Bajka, who often uses harmony to build up a multifaceted sound.
Whilst often touring solo, and performing DJ sets, in 2004 Bonobo opted to follow the growing trend amongst electronic acts of playing with a full band. The band plays live renditions of studio material, with a singer, keyboardist, guitarist, saxophonist, string section, electronics, and drummer. Simon Green mainly plays bass guitar, and leads the band from the middle.

SHIT IS HOT! :: Poolside - Slow Down

Poolside
Slow Down

Almost everyone selectively remembers summer for the best of what it has to offer: swimming, barbecues, and temperatures that don't numb anyone's appendages. But the heat of July and August can also make you feel on the verge of death, and the soundtrack to that oppression isn't what we typically call a summer jam. Enter "Slow Down," the drank-disco single from L.A. duo Poolside. With glossy synths that seem to hit in slow-mo and a bass that doesn't do much more than crawl, it's dance music for the chillout tent, a woozy song with a beat that sounds like it's constantly trying to unstick itself from something. You'll want to hear plenty of songs this summer when driving with the windows down, but "Slow Down" is for when it's too hot to do anything but lie in the shade.

Dj Blaqstarr feat. Rye Rye - Shake It To The Ground(Jokers of the Scene Remix)



There's so much talent on this track, it bleeds through the speakers. You have Baltimore native DJ Blaqstarr and Rye Rye on the original cut and then Jokers of the Scene come in and make the bass extra chunky. I used to drop this one in on my DJ sets and the floor would quickly pack. Jokers of the Scene were my favorite act at one time, but they've turned dark and too techno. Maybe we'll see them drop some more remixes with their original sound again.


Jakwob - Fade (feat. Maiday)



U.K. producer Jakwob takes a break from dubstep to bring us Fade featuring Maiday. I guess you could categorize this as trip hop.

SONIC ANGELS :: Martin Patiño - Make Love



Resident of Germany, half-Italian half-Peruvian Martin Patiño has brought heaven to my ears. Make Love is not your average house track. It builds until it hits a beautiful breakdown, where it gets a little quiet and the music dances around for the rest of the song. Make Love was chosen to be on Freerange records Colour Series: Violet 08 Sampler.

Daft Punk - No End (We Plants Are Happy Plants Remix) (download)



The is so much anticipation happening around the new Daft Punk album. The infamous song of which we heard 15 seconds of during SNL, has become known as the SNL or No End song (due to the many versions looping it over and over). One of my favorite acts - We Plants Are Happy Plants have remixed this 15 second (app. 4 bars of music) into a full track. It's light and airy, groovy and catchy ... and uplifting, like we know it should be.

BEST FOR LAST :: Strip Steve - Mega (Official Video)


Strip Steve
Mega


As any cool kid of the 90′s, Strip Steve grew up listening to californian punk, the passion more or less regular of skateboard, and the art of turntablism. Few scratches and a failure in a rap band after, he remembered how much Armand van Helden, Phoenix & Daft Punk’s videos he used to watch before “Yo MTV rap” started, torn unconsciously his sentimental life, and more his whole existence. He started mixing at 14 with his first turntables, and slowly made parties with his friends in his hometown Bordeaux that mixed every kind of music they found exciting, with always one purpose: that the people had fun very simply.

Iceland has produced some of the most talented musicians of our generation. Along, with Bjork and Sigur Ros, we should include Múm. Múm released Green Grass of Tunnel as a single in 2002 on the Fat Cat label. The music video for Green Grass of Tunnel was created in computer graphics by Semiconductor's Joe Gerhardt and Ruth Jarman team and was inspired by the place in which the album was created. It follows the view of a flock, and presents a lighthouse, presumably very similar to the house in which they stayed.

I'VE GOT THE FUNK :: Edwin Birdsong - Rapper Dapper Snapper



Like gold, there is a finite amount of funk in the world. It can be passed from one person to the next, but not created. That's why it's a rare treat to hear something as funky as Rapper Dapper Snapper. Birdsong is a tribute to his era ... he's been sampled by Gangstarr and Daft Punk, and yet he'll only be 63 years young this year. Maybe, he'll surprise us with more of his funkiness before he leaves this plane.

RARE GROOVE :: American Gypsy - Inside Out



Since 1963, this funk group of American origin has performed under diverse names such as Blue Morning, Orpheus and Pasadena Ghetto Orchestra. American Gypsy began club performances in Los Angeles in 1971, followed by a two-year tour of Spain. When the group settled in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in the early 70's, the line-up was: Joe Skeete (bass guitar), Michael Hamane (lead guitar), Lorenzo Mills (vocals), Richard James aka Ricardo James (drums), David Harrell (vocals, guitar, sax, flute) and Steve Clisby (vocals, keyboards). During their American period, individual members recorded sessions with many popular artists: Barry White, The Byrds, Young Rascals, Frank Zappa, Jefferson Airplane, Dr. John and Santana.

They continued live club performances throughout Europe and was one of the more popular r&b/rock acts on the club circuit during that time.

IS IT A DREAM :: YUME - Admire



Sometimes, I contemplate whether I am really awake. I could be asleep and dreaming such a strange dream. The soundtrack to my dream would be an ethereal EDM and trap song. I would be flying around with no pants on and walking through walls. My friends from high school would re-appear and ask me to go on a quest. Out of nowhere my muse would appear. Then as I go to kiss my lover, I would wake up.

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain



I took this word for word from a youtube comment ... I could never write a better description for this song -
"If a guitar were able to grow up in a troubled household, being abused by an alcoholic father, and grow up promising to be better, make the best of it's life, achieve success in his career and his love life, start a beautiful family and then, through a tragic accident of his own doing, lose it all, this is what it would sound like when it wept in agony."

According to legend, George Clinton, under the influence of LSD, told Eddie Hazel during the recording session to imagine he had been told his mother was dead, but then learned that it was not true. The result was the 10-minute guitar solo for which Hazel is most fondly remembered by many music critics and fans. Though several other musicians began the track playing, Clinton soon realized how powerful Hazel's solo was and faded them out so that the focus would be on Hazel's guitar. Critics have described the solo as "lengthy, mind-melting" and "an emotional apocalypse of sound."

UNKLE - Unreal



Some music never goes bad ... it just ages like a fine wine. UNKLE - Unreal is one of those songs. When this album came out it was the only album that I listened to more than DJ Shadow's - Endtroducing and well DJ Shadow helped to produce a lot of these songs along with James Lavelle and others. One day we will be playing these for our grandchildren and saying "Now that was music!"

BONUS: UNKLE - What Are You To Me?

Depeche Mode - Behind the Wheel (Sonic Force Remix)



Ask and ye shall receive! I was hoping to find a great Depeche Mode remix and I came across this one by Sonic Force. There is a better video too that uses the Tron movie, but it wouldn't let me embed it. You can watch it here.

BONUS: Depeche Mode - Policy of Truth (Dominatrix Remix)

mdnt - Dreamcatcher (feat. Jez Dior) (download)



A lot of music sounds the same. I'm not saying all, but a lot does. So it's refreshing to find a new tune that doesn't sound like everything else. Enter mdnt - Dreamcatcher which features hip hop emcee Jez Dior ... with a fresh new sound. "I'm too indie for rap, but I'm too rap for indie" sums up this one pretty nicely. The best of both worlds with none of the junk from either.
