MORNING GLORY :: Shout (C2C remix) and Sunny (Mercury Edit II) +playlist

Morning Glory parties are springing up everywhere - and they're to be celebrated with friends and strangers alike! These early am dance gatherings are moving the party out of your pants and into the dance studio with free coffee, smoothies, yoga classes and awesome dj's that make you very very happy you got up early (I know people who started getting ready for the party at 4:45 AM). In their own words, Morning Gloryville parties are "immersive morning dance experience(s)  for those who dare to challenge morning culture and start their day in style! We’re on a soul-shaking mission to turn clubbing upside down and transform mornings into something truly remarkable."

I thank all the gods and goddesses of good times and great things that I found out about this week's SF Morning Gloryville get down in time to go to bed early and set my alarm (on the other side of the room), to make sure I got up to get down by 7am.

The dj that really got me going was doing a special house set that his soundcloud doesn't really reflect, but here's the track that got me shaking




And he played this to close out his set and the party itself. 


It was an incredible way to share sober, sunlit and sweaty time with former strangers and new friends and get a groove on... find or start one near you!

LET'S BOUNCE :: James Curd feat. Yeah Boy with a hot Miguel Campbell remix too

I've been a little stuck, looking for something to hook me, pull me, push me out of bed and into the sparkly universe we call home. I bought running shoes. The expensive kind that have little trampolines in them (well that's what they feel like). I got the squishy soft socks too. I got a target, a cool art piece I heard about that's placed on top of a big hill for another few days. But something was still missing.

Not anymore.

This track may be a few months old, but it hit me at just the right time. At first listen, the Miguel Campbell grabbed me by the hips, but then the piano, synth and video game glibs of the original got my head, well.. bouncing. So here are both for you - flip a coin and shake, sway and bounce your tail (or head) accordingly.

I'm heading up that hill!

THAT GUM YOU LIKE IS GOING TO COME BACK IN STYLE :: Drachenhaus - Owls

Drachenhaus - Owls

Owls by Drachenhaus is a spooky and hauntingly beautiful ode to the Twin Peaks inspired idea that the Owl is a spiritual entity ... with one foot in reality and the other in the spirit world.

Drachenhaus are James Vader and Angie Pfeffer, a Post-Industrial two-piece residing in Berlin. Both share duties on analogue synths, both bash away at drum machines, both whisper and moan their vocals. However Angie is known to dance and James is prone to fondling a guitar. When playing live, they like to add improvised sections to their songs, extending them, jamming and responding to the acoustic feedback from each other and the radiance of the audience. Their music could be described as Depeche Mode collaborating with Goblin to produce a soundtrack for the next John Carpenter movie.
