Hands Up Summer!

I'm alive! Sort of. I was insanely busy, and then I just lost motivation to post music, and then I didn't have internet... Yeah, I've got lots of really bad and invalid excuses. I do, however, now have some music to share with you. Over the next month (that'd be August, I realize I'm jumping the gun a bit here), I will be posting summer mixtapes, possibly along with the occasional song depending on how work goes. I made the terrible mistake of not putting a track number for this playlist, so instead of giving you the listing, I'm just going to highlight some of my favorites. Oh yes, and this one, as the title says, is called "Hands Up", so take a stab at what kind of music it is.

Download Here.
If someone can suggest a better host I'm all ears.

If you guessed electronic, you win! You can download the mixtape just like everyone else, good job. So it's a 10 track mixtape, and all of the songs on it I first heard in the month of July, but that doesn't mean that's when they came out. I lacked internet for quite sometime, but let's get into it. I have to of course love Madeon's single, Finale, he keeps lighting up the music world. Fantastic melodies, enough bass and killer vocals. Chameo's track, Hey! is a really up beat, care free, dance track that feels summery. Really shows what the young Dane is capable of.

For me I think the best track for the moment, is Air by UK producer Rouge. He does a great job of taking summer and putting it in a track. Three months from now when we all haven't seen sunlight in as many weeks, I'll turn this on and imagine being in a warm summer night. I'm also partial to the Teenage Crime remix, but that's because those vocals to me are amazing.

So there you have it, my first post in forever. Check back, I promise it will be tops a week until I post again.
Still the best way to keep track of my weird posting habits is my twitter, which is on the side. And not my twitter because I don't see the point of it for personal usage. But that's just me.

I'm out!

Dream One Day

Oh boy, back to school, so as usual I'm not prepared. Here you guys go, enjoy the tunes. Even tossed in a mashup, that's an oddity lately.

These guys kill it.



I hope you enjoy them, sorry for the rush. I'm out!

We All Need Time

I know, I missed a day, so without further adieu, here's some music. It's old, and great.
Smile Like You Mean It(Madeon Remix)-The Killers

Next there's two remixes of a Fenech Soler song, you decide which one you like better. I'm torn.
First, is Minnesota who's based out of California. Check him out, he drops a bunch of free music.
Demons(Minnesota Remix)
On the other side is Sigma, they're pretty famous. Check them out too, you have to pay for their music and it's totally worth it.
Demons(Simga Remix)

I should have some new music for you next post. I'm out!

Speed of Sound

Hello October! You kinda crept up on me, I didn't even realize that September was nearly done until I looked at the date today, like whoa. Month just flew by, but that's just a random interlude, the more important thing I have to say is that you should check out Hoodie Allen, he's been blowing up the blog scene for a while, got named as one of the best up and comers a while ago, along with G-Eazy,whom I've also had a recent obsession with. So take this song, and listen to it, a few times.
Oh and he's got a free mixtape, a few I think actually, check him out here.

So I've actually been posting quite a bit of chill music lately, I've been into just putting it on while I'm trying to learn stuff, and it's been helping. Due to the fact this blog is just an outlet of my obsessive desire to share the music I love, it's a bit all over the place. Hope that isn't a problem...

Anyways, the other song that I've had in my head of late is by French House/electro-pop producer Madeon, I've posted about him before so as always you can click his name below and get linked to all previous posts,which in this case is only one or two. Anyways, he's taken a Yelle song, that I didn't like too much in the first place, and made it about 30x better, and now I've played it like 10 times in two days, which is quite often. This kid has blown up, after his first exposure with his remix of Raise Your Weapon, he's been putting out big hits. This is no exception.

So now I have to go catch up on homework that I put off all weekend and then just relax, have a good couple of days, I'm out!

Halo And Wings

This lack of sleeping is making me go crazy, I don't understand it! I try to go to bed early and then I just don't... Anyways, music helps keep me stable so let's get into it. Chiddy Bang keeps expanding from remixes to full fledged songs, and I'm liking this slower side, it's really relaxing, and that's just a good thing when I'm trying to keep my eyes from staying open. I know, I just said otherwise but it makes sense.

Next we have the VERY talented young man, Madeon, who if you click on the tag below you will find did a deadly remix of deadmau5's Raise Your Weapon. Anyways, this is something totally different and equally enjoyable.

So if you noticed, the songs are in a different place. Feed back? Have a good one guys, I'm out!

Like You Mean It

Okay so a couple things, first off when I started this post I wasn't planning to post the second song, but I heard it and it was the first remix of Raise Your Weapon that wasn't terrible I've heard, and I love deadmau5 so deal, more awesome music! Also, I'm sick, so that's my excuse for my short post.

Move.Meant is who this post was going to focus around, but then I realized that I really do not know much about this California based hip-hop group that flows with a distrubing amount of similarity to the legendary Common. Of course, it isn't quite there and few of Move.Meant's lines are covered in cliche. Make no mistake, this is not to say that the song is not amazing, it is for sure one of the few true hip-hop song's I've stumbled upon recently.

Madeon is a young French electronic producer that exploded a little while ago, and then again a few days ago when Pete Tong gave his delicious remix of Raise Your Weapon some Radio 1 play and the whole world turned their eyes to this kid. His style is French electro for sure, but it's nice to see a Frenchmen get some play on an English station, jokes.

Anyways, I'm feeling like death so enjoy the songs, I know I sure did. Have a good few days, I'm out.
