My recent music forays have led towards many different genres that weren't the mainstay of the blog early on. In my humble opinion (IMHO), dubstep and many other more sparse, minimalistic musical stylings are slowly beginning to dominate the electronic music scene. For example, the most impressive nu-disco I was hearing last year was very french/disco house-y with a nice uptempo feel. However, recent trends have even formed the once upbeat genre into a much more minimalistic styling best exemplified by tensnake's lastest EP. Whether or not this all coincides with looming 2012 is perhaps coincidence or maybe not. Here is a large sampling of what I have been listening to recently.

Also due to the zshare links, I would recommend downloading skipscreen to make the process a lot easier. For now on I will try to include genre definitions best as I can in order to let readers pick out what they want to listen to.

Coat of Arms- Nosaj Thing (Experimental hip-hop)
Parisian Goldfish- Flying Lotus (Experimental hip-hop)
In the End (I want to Cry)- Tensnake (Nu-disco/minimal)
Holding Back (My love)- Tensnake (Nu-disco/minimal)
Radiant Industry- Jamie Vex'd (dubstep)
Moth- Burial and Four Tet (dubstep/idm)

Who Can Say

The Horrors follow up their debut album with a pretty drastic change in sound. Perhaps it's the new production team that featured members of Portishead and other "critically acclaimed" groups, or maybe its their NME-hyped buzz was not exactly what the band was looking for. Regardless, Im digging the new sangle.

A little smooth sailing shit

Daft Punk to Score Tron 2.0?

2009-03-04T10:51:00.001-08:00

via Pitchfork

Daft Punk might be writing the original score for Tron 2.0, Disney's sequel to the so-obsolete-it's-incredible 1982 evil computer movie, according to Upcoming Film Scores. This is such a perfect pairing, we hope against hope it's true. (Representatives for the band have yet to respond to requests for confirmation.)

The only way Tron 2.0 could suck is if it takes itself too seriously (always a concern for camp-cult remakes and sequels). It's directed by Joseph Kosinski (who's done lots of eye-melting CGI commercials like this one for Nike), written by "Lost" screenwriters Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, and stars "House"/"O.C." star Olivia Wilde and some dude named Garrett Hedlund, says The Hollywood Reporter. Jeff Bridges will also reprise his original role as super genius Kevin Flynn. The movie is currently being shot in Vancouver, British Columbia for a projected 2011 release date, according to IMDb.

80s nostalgia can get a bit toxic at times, so hopefully these Tron 2.0 guys can bring Tron into the future while retaining some of the past. You know what would be a great way to do that? Hiring Daft Punk to write the music. The Oscar performance will rule.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only way one could perceive this as a negative would be if Daft was in the studio recently for this instead of a studio album. While scoring this film would be awesome, Id much rather see a studio album than a suspect score from DP. Their ventures into film have been moderately successful (arguable I guess, I dont know how the critics viewed D.A.F.T., interstellar 555, and Electroma), but a studio album seems to be much more worthwhile for diehard DP fans.

Vapesta's OFFICIAL Grammy Recap

2009-02-08T23:36:00.000-08:00

Ridiculous. A personal highlight was Whitney Houston's defiant statement to the music world that she is back... on coke. A close runner-up was Chris Brown's absence from the ceremony amid reports that he beat up Rihanna (for the record, that's "beat up" in the Eminem sense, not the Ying Yang Twins' one).

Need more? Google "Lil Wayne Jay Z nine months pregnant" or "Bono eye liner coked up" and look at all the fucking results.

Also, lookout for the girl sparking the blunt cobrastyle outside of her office less than a minute into the video.

I am a little bit of MSTRKRFT, a little bit of dubstep
Handful of drum kits but I can't help the fact
That everybody can see these tracks on zshare
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
To just believe this is synthesized
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and time to pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause you're all that I've got

Todays entree is essentially an ode to popular 60's and early 70'smusic. With a little help from Pitchfork as well as discogs I was able to delve into some much older tracks that have a much more sound generally than most of the electronic music posted here. The tracks range from the classic jazz of coltrane to the early blues rock of the Yardbirds. You can practically hear Clint Eastwood in Ennio's masterpiece soundtrack.

My Favorite Things- John Coltrane

While previous entrees have featured more than one song, for this one I decided to put only one song for sheer effect. This remix of the white stripes is very un-white stripe-eqsue and features modified vocals of the White Stripe's hit song over an extraordinary funky house instrumental.

Seven Natio Army (Yung Punx RMX)-White Stripes

Sebastien Tellier - Kilometer (Dj A-Trak Remix)

2009-01-22T14:12:00.000-08:00

Tellier's newest album Sexuality oozes sex grooves and synth laden melodies. This remix from Fool's Gold renaissance man A-Trak makes "Kilometer" more danceable with a fat analog synth bassline reminiscent of Daft Punk's Homework. Along with some disco string stabs and Tellier's raspy yet smooth vocals, this remix comes together and could prove to be one of the best in A-Trak's body of work.

2008-12-21T09:28:00.001-08:00

Every year (well for the last 4 or 5) when Pitchfork releases their best 50 albums/100 singles, I always feel obligated to go through all the artists and try to discover/rediscover some I've never heard of. Why?- I'm not really sure, but probably because all my other friends/journalists/music critics/anybody who listens to similar music does. Obviously my bias is towards electronic music, but im all open ears. From this years countdown Ive heard some new artists I find particularly interesting-- Air France and Portishead (rediscovered in this case) for example. However, I never view Pitchfork as the "ultimate" source of music journalism I feel alot of music people do. I still like Rolling Stone and shitty electro blogs run by Australians. After reading their review of Aoki's awful mix album, I felt like instead of bashing Aoki's poor choice in music they choose to criticize his style and mannerisms when Djing (but hey I'd really like a swig of some grey goose every now and then, right?). As much good as Pitchfork does for indie rock and under-the-radar music, they seem to carry this elitist attitude in their way about doing it. So here are a couple of track I found indirectly through Pitchfork, whether it be a song from an album or a single from the top 100 list. This years list was significantly different than last years, more electro-ish list. A lot of the dance/electronic music reflects the disco-revival of this previous year (see "Blind" and alot of Aeroplane write ups). While, yes, these songs were good and catchy, but I'd rather see more "banger"-oriented tracks associated with poor dj'ing and Steve Aoki. Yeh, the music isnt flawless and the Bloody Beetroots tracks often sound like theyre skipping a beat, but its always upbeat and ideal for a energetic, party hungry college student such as myself. I'll listen to Fleet Foxes when im 37 and have a couple kids, you know?

No Excuses- Air France
Machine Gun- Portishead
Collapsing at Your Doorstep- Air France
Strangers- Portishead
Poison Dart- The Bug

This dropped a few days ago, but I've been too busy bumping the living shit out of it to get to posting.

A prelude to their long-player of a similar name, "Road to Til The Casket Drops" jacks beats from, among others, "Swagger Like Us" and that crazy Ron Brownz/Jim Jones jam "Pop Champagne." Not much is different about the lyrics. That is, look for Coke references that would make Lindsay Lohan feel uncomfortable and wordplay that would make Rakim stand up and applaud. After a pair of uncharacteristically UN-groundbreaking releases, the DJ Drama-endorsed ("We Got it 4 Cheap Vol 3" and the Re-Up Gang's debut LP) brothers Pusha T and Malice seem to be back to Hell Hath No Fury form.

Look out especially for "Affliction," as well as the two aforementioned jams.

This an answer to KB's "Daily Entree" - hopefully it will make contributions from this author more frequent.

Say what you want about the artist formerly known as Lil Wayne. Recent releases may be plagued by gibberish and autotuning, but instant classics like "A Milli" and "Stuntin Like My Daddy" continue to shape and influence most good commercial rap (read: NOT DJ KHALED) out there. The machine-gun flow, stream of consciousness wordplay, and aggressive swagger characterize Wayne's work from his mixtape tear that led into the stellar Carter III LP last summer, a concentration of excellence that is rarely matched in Hip Hop.

Attached are a pair of tracks that are testaments to Wayne's influence. Recently ascended deity Kanye West loops the Santogold-sampled hook throughout the Jigga's verses in the recently released "Brooklyn Go Hard," a la Da Drought 3. And heavy-hitter Polow da Don channels the spirit of "A Milli" producer Bangledesh in what sounds in many ways like a remix of the aforementioned jam.

And I had to post the Wayne track. Consider it a plea for Columbia to release it as a n-teenth single from C3.

3 Make you Mine
4 Bellevue
5 Illumination

In all their synth glory, Miami Horror released their EP earlier this week. Ive been waiting to get my hands on Summerfest '86 for awhile after originally hearing it on their myspace. Definitely worth picking this up on vinyl, this group is my favorite in this 80's sound revival.

Shooting Stars- Bag Raiders
Hoy!- Duke Dumont
Your Visits Are Getting Shorter- Bloc Party
LES Artistes- Santogold

After reluctantly downloading some Bag Raiders and Santogold, I found these songs pretty tight. Again the whole blog scene has been relatively disappointing as of late, or maybe its just me waiting for Daft Punk's new album and ignoring other good music.
