SING PRAISE :: Schubert - Ave Maria (Scotty Knows remix)

Schubert - Ave Maria (Scotty Knows remix)

A few years back, one of my favorite persons, dope DJ, contributor to the site and musician Scotty aka Ansible-Futurist remixed Ave Maria by Schubert. Now, Scotty is a trained musician on the piano and other instruments. After the breakup of my girlfriend (his cousin) of 9 years, the rest of the family wouldn't speak to me for the longest, only Scotty. I cherish our friendship to this day. I asked him to send me this track from a few years ago and asked if I could post it to Youtube. I hope my video pays homage to what a great and yet simple track - it's all samples from the original ... just in time for the holidays!

FLOATING :: Kollektiv Turmstrasse - Tk Beauty (Original mix)

Kollektiv Turmstrasse - Tk Beauty (Original mix)

Still as yet officially unreleased, Kollektiv Turmstrasse's track "Tk Beauty" is definitely a warm hug on a cold winter day ... or a cold hug on a warm summer day. The song was originally brought to my attention from the duo's Soundcloud mix posted last X-mas; the recommendation from my fellow soundphile, blogger and friend Scotty aka Ansible-Futurist when I was looking for a good mix to check out. I highly recommend listening to the whole thing, though the opener is definitely my favorite. It's very reminiscent of Orbital's classic tune "Halcyon".



No Boats

Sorrow

Greetings fellow e-citizens! It's been awhile since I've posted, but some new tunes I've come across recently have propelled me back into blogging action. Sorrow is a UK-based producer from Bristol, Britain. His productions are immensely unique, and get plenty of replays on my computer.

The first track of his I came across is called "Through the Night"

He also just released an LP this year, entitled Dreamstone:

The entire LP is solid, but the tracks that stood out to me the most were these four:

Supernova:

Maeles:

Moodswing

Dreamstone ft. Co Ma

Enjoy! Hope the cold weather isn't cramping your style :D

Ansible Live @ Rust Nightclub, Copenhagen

Hey guys/gals, a couple weeks ago I got the chance to play at one of Copenhagen's nightclubs, a compact, dark little club with a lot of character called Rust. I managed to record most of my set so have a listen if you like house music!

Orbital; and introducing Ansible-Futurist

Greetings!

This marks ansible-futurist's first post on the Barrel-dEM blog, home to my very close friend & DJ-sensei/jedi-master No Boats! I, ansible, am from Chicago, am a 21 year old college student studying abroad in Denmark this semester, and grew up listening to almost exclusively techno and house music thanks to an incredible cousin with incredible musical taste! My cousin gave me my first two CDs to use with my first cd-player way back in the day (when i was 9 or 10 i think), and they were mixtapes of the UK-based techno duo Orbital. Comprised of brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll, I am still to this day left in awe at the epic journeys Orbital's tracks take from start to finish. As they are my most long-time favorite group/artist and possibly the most influential as far as my personal music production goes, my admiration and respect for them knows practically no bounds! I figure that paying them a tribute would serve as a fitting first post!

Here are a few choice nugs:

My boy Scotty aka Ansible-Futurist has been making these mixes based on Pokemon characters for a few years ... man how time flies. Scotty and I used to mix all night long at my house all the time. I'm really impressed by his progress and his taste in music. Scotty also produces and remixes tracks. He is going to school in Denmark. Check his entire soundcloud page for some great tunes!
