MP3: M83 - "Intro" (Feat. Zola Jesus)


Wow. this track is killer. Everything from the uplifting intro to the scarily spoken words to the full on onslaught of the song is just perfect. Best part? this is an INTRO to an album (thus the name "Intro"). The album, Hurry Up We're Dreaming from the French electro artist M83 is due out October 18th. All in all this a very powerful tune and makes you feel like your in an epic movie (at least for me it did).

MP3: Jape - The Oldest Mind


This track is a little different than what I normally post but it's really hitting the spot today. It's very dreamy but it's steady. It's haunting but it comforting. It's just of of "those". The beginning starts it off right away with some sweet harmonies and if your listening with headphones you will get some cool panning effect. I don't know much about Jape but they are from Ireland and have a new album Ocean of Frequency due out the end of September.

MP3: Oberhofer – "Gotta Go"


Here's a nice track from Oberhofer which starts out with some uniquely cool vocals but then kicks in with a huge sounding synth which makes me reminisce of the past summer. Summer for me will over in two days so I'm holding on to every new post-summer jam I can find. Although, from a scientific standpoint we still have another few weeks. Not much is known about an official release from Oberhofer but an LP is expected early next year.

MP3: Pretty Lights - "Pretty Lights vs. Led Zeppelin"


I actually had to muster up some courage to click the play button on this song because I was afraid of that this would sound like. I am a huge Zeppelin fan, they are probably my favorite classic rock band (besides maybe Pink Floyd) but that's a whole different spectrum, I could fill another blog just about that stuff. Anyways, this mash-up is just crazy. There are 7 different Zeppelin songs crammed into here. The glitchyness is just too cool and Pretty Lights made this sound HUGE. My only gripe is how deep the vocals are but that's just minor and chances are there is a reason why they are like that from a technical standpoint so I'll let it slide. I am already on my 5th consecutive listen. Enjoy!

Here's a little bonus for you. It's a previous Pretty Lights mash from a couple months ago that I particularly enjoy. I can't wait for this EP.

VIDEO: The Drums - What You Were (New Song)


I have been waiting for new music from The Drums for a long time now. Their new, highly anticipated sophomore LP Portamento is due out September 13th. Here is a video of them performing a new track entitled "What You Were" which is featured on a weekly webcast by the band. I am very impressed with this and I'm glad to see that these guys are developing musically.

MP3: Deadmau5 - Where My Keys (Original Mix)


Well first off, Summer is coming to a close and so is my hectic schedule. I'm guessing most of you probably gave up on me but hopefully I can get this up and running again. Anyways, here is a brand new track from Deadmau5, hot off the press. It's a very solid song and is rather "low key". It still hits home pretty good as it features that signature bass sound that we all have grown to love. Check it out!
