Hello Again Summer, You Were Missed

Summer is upon us, finals are over and its time for some funky tunes and cold beers. Without the added stress of papers and exams you should expect more music and updates on local events to attend here in sunny Jacksonville Beach. In fact, tomorrow night there will be a premiere release party for the new VOID Magazine. There will a free show at Roc Bar featuring DarkHorse Saloon and BLORR which is a guaranteed partay. I will be interviewing DHS, showing the men behind the mustaches. Should be a good time with beautiful people.

Now for the music. What better to start the summer off with than The Beach Boys. I have for you a couple of remixes of Beach Boy jams that I'm sure you'll enjoy. Two of which happen to be dance remixes that put a different spin to the classics. The other one is from Bullion's Pet Sounds: In the Key of Dee, a Beach Boys/J-Dilla mash-up album. So crack open a cold one, get the lawn chair out and go outside and enjoy the day.

Why Can't We Make More Music Like This

This post is dedicated to my father whose birthday is tomorrow. Everything I know about music I owe to my dad. I grew up listening to rock n roll, specifically 60s garage, with my dad. He'd constantly would be teaching and quizing me on various bands, guitarist, and songs. Bands from this era rarely get thier time in the spotlight anymore and I think we ought to show some respect to this awesome period in rock history, where some of the greatest bands joined to create that oh so familiar sound. A sound that is rooted in the blues, and electrified with lyrics about love and freedom. Their are many bands that came out of the 60s, but these bands I believe truly capture the message I'm trying to convey.......which is, TURN UP THE AMP AND LET'S ROCK! Happy Birthday Dad.

The Yardbirds- Heart Full of Soul
The Kinks- Tired of Waiting for You
Cream- Swlabr

Easy Like Sunday Morning

Hello human beings, I hope everyone of you had a wonderful weekend. I come bearing a very special gift today from the oh so talented dj's, The Twelves. As I hope you know, The Twelves are known for their live dj sets which involves them actually playing instruments such as the bass and synth. Here they are giving us a great disco remix of Two Door Cinema Club's Something Good Can Work. This remix will be featured on the new Kitsune Compilations album due out April 26th. So make sure you check out the mini-mix on their myspace and if you dig that, preorder the dam thing. If you are ever lucky enough to have The Twelves preform anywhere near, you best go see them, you will not be disappointed.

Yours As Always

I'm So Down With This Collab

I'm not even gunna lie, when I first saw these songs on hypem I knew they were going to be instant dancefloor magic. Of course you all know who Chromeo is by now, if u don't then u are in for a real treat, but when they collaborate Yuksek it becomes something more. The lyrics are spot on and add so much more flavor to the song. I can't stop playing it....nuff said. The second song is also a little strawberry shortcake for yer ears, but this one is a great remix of the australian duo, Cut Copy, with some Chromeo icing. Let these tunes marinate for a second, and then do not hesitate to dance after.

Audio Fuzz

Their is a perfectly good reason why I have been slacking on the post and it's because I've been doing a lot of recording. My friend Nate and I have been getting together ever Friday to make some music, and what started out to be a jam session, turned into a six hour electrofide audio war. So here is a ruff draft, its about a 20min mix we did right off the bat. It's all done live and on the spot so bear with us. Thanx Guys and let me know...
