RANDOM MUSIC


hey peeps. on my way on the train from stockholm to oslo yesterday i met a stranger with some great electronic music. josef (his name) had bought a macbook recently and had very little music on it, so we did some intranetwork-exchange of music to extend his library. and mine. found loads of music i already had, because we had the same taste in music, but also music new to me. here i present to you some of them. first out a cool mashup between the german duo booka shade's classic song 'in white rooms' and an acapella from the australian electrogroup 'vandalism'. next out are producers behind the recently hyped song 'jeopardy', which is also great. after that the classic of steve angello - 'klack' and at last eric prydz remix on depeche mode which i never heard before:

MINILOGUE


this is great but weird ambient music. minilogue consists of the two swedish rather unknown artists 'trimatic' and 'son kite'. they are probably soon or already 30 years old and have some years in the music business. their album 'animals' was released almost a month ago, an album consisting of two cds. one named 'ambient' and the other named 'dance'. although i see the difference between the cds, i wouldn't say dance to either of them. the music is experimentally ambient techno/electronica, sort of. some songs sound similar to the ancient electronic producer 'aphex twin', which is quite a compliment. i give you three songs here, the first being from the ambient-cd, the second from the dance-related one and the last from 'aphex twin'. they are all amazing:

GUAGLIONE 2008


found this track on beatport's top 10 and found it amusing. although, i feel that it could be even better. as im not a qualified producer, i can't do anything about it. will just have to wait until someone else does it. anyways, the producers are totally unknown to me, and i can't seem to find any information about him/them/her? although the remixer, alex gaudino, is an italian dj who did the famous mashup 'destination calabria' of the dj rune rk's track 'calabria' from -03 and crystal waters from -04 named 'destination unknown'.

anyways, in this song you find no cheesy vocals. it's a good song really. really:

JOHN DAHLBÄCK

john dahlbäck, born in -85 outside stockholm, sweden, has with his own productions under the label 'pickadoll' sure made his statement in the world of electronic music. he comes from a family of people in the music business, and im glad he went the same way. last week 'pyramid' was released on beatport, and almost every week something is released connected to him. own productions, remixes on other artists or other artists using his music in their mixes. he is sure acknowledged among us all. i give to you the recently released track, one to be released soon and some tracks from 'winners & fools':

SAXOPHONES, SEX & ELECTRO

during summer life is much more random than otherwise and structure does not seem to exist. hence the blog is updated during the whole summer but it isn't until september that the real business begins. wellwell, here we go:

found three great tracks for today. first a classic house tune containing much saxophones which is always niiice. found out that dub deluxe is a project from the two guys behing sunloverz who want to do something else than the typical melodic vocal house that they produce otherwise. the second track is a rip of a remix justice made on a song by the brooklynband mgmt (earlier the management). the last song is a amazing progressive tune by italian schwartz found on housemusicwithlove.

GIVE ME A M

Sometimes I'm too caught up in the french house scene to notice all the other goodies out there. But recently I discovered a German named MMMatthias. So far he has remixed Coldplay, Sigur Ros, MGMT, Santogold and RATATAT, along with a couple of his own tunes.

The Coldplay remix is definately one of my favorites. It's hard, filled with heavy basses and builds up the tension just the way I like it.

Coldplay - Death And All His Friends (MMMatthias Remix)
(electronica, 2008)

His well build beats are growing quickly on me. This ear candy kind of taste like rich and sizzling chocolate on your tounge. Feed yourself with some MMMatthias tunes and they might grow on you too!

MGMT - The Youth (MMMatthias Remix)

(electronica, 2008)

Sigur Ros - Saeglopur (MMMatthias Remix)
(electronica, 2008)

Santogold - My Superman (MMMatthias Remix)

He offers his music free over at Myspace. So check him out and give him all the love in the ocean.

Well I think that technology and music have always been together and I think music is science anyway


The titel is quote from Vangelis from 1988.

Vangelis is a greek composer born in 1943. He’s one of the pioneers in making electronic music and started composing at the age of four. He is ofted said to avoid publicity, and to rather focus on his next artistic creation.

ERIC PRYDZ

eric prydz, a swedish guy born -79 is one of the most hyped electronic producers today. songs are stolen, rips from livesets uploaded almost instantly and many of his tracks reach top ten on beatport. the hype around 'miami atlanta' has been immense as well as for the tracks 'pjanoo' and 'f12' released recently.

commercially he got famous for 'call on me' with the dirty music video being even more famous than himself as an artist. he uses several pseudonyms when producing; pryda, eric prydz, cirez d, moo and sheridan. each name recognised for different styles of music. in my opinion pryda is the best. here i give you a mashup of pjanoo and an acapella along with another mashup with white stripes and an oldie. that white stripes track is "sung" by every swedish fotball fan during the uefa european fotball championship games now occuring. why? no idea.

MELODIES & DESIRES

Swedish, young, cute and on everyone's lips the last months... You probably know who I'm talking about. Yup, the adorable and charismatic Lykke Li. It's hard not to be fascinated by her cute voice, the bittersweet lyrics and the dreamy disco melodies.

Lykke Li's debut album stands out from the pop crowd. And when all the cool guys decide to remix her songs, it just gets better.

The Fred Falke remix has been everywhere on the electronica blog scene, but it's too good to miss. Lykke Li is good. Fred Falke is great. Metronomy and Black Kids also catched the wave and did a remix of the same single, which by the way was recently released in the UK.

THE DON

Don Rimini has as so many other DJ’s started out by just spinning records at young age and then after learning the art of music went over to produce his own. The 31 year-old from Paris, France, has he really “bloomed” and release a several EP’s and with his underground-Brooklyn inspired ‘Electro House’ he really heats up the dance floor. Now in June his third EP in order will hit the market, and therefore while patiently wating I present to you some of his greatest works. So don’t just stand there – Bust a Move!

NIGHTDRIVE WITH ANORAAK

The multitalent in the Valerie family is called Anoraak. He writes these catchy pop songs, fills them with retro beats and finish them up with his own voice. All his songs have the 80s touch that's hard to resist.

The Fast Life described him as:
"A storyteller.
A composer.
An A++."

Very accurate indeed. I'm giving you two of his stories for now. They are the ultimate nightdrive songs, and I'm not referring to the first title, but the perfect mood for a drive by night.

Anoorak - Nightdrive With You

(electronica/pop, 2008)

Anoraak - NERD (Never Ending Romance Disaster)
(electronica/pop, 2008)

Anoraak recently joined the fabulous No Love Lost Records wagon and he certainly got the wheels rolling. No offence to the other DJs, but his NLLR mix is one of the best yet. Loving the tracklist. Actually he had me at Boards Of Canada...

MAKING MUSIC LAST


Love these songs. Feels like summer nights will last forever...

Born and raised in the US, Dj DLG started his music career in late 80ies. First release in the name Dj DLG was in 2002. Many choose to call his music disco-house or electro house.

(Trance, 2007)


New Zealand based producer and Dj, Luke Walker released his first track in 2005 and this has been called ‘a perfectly produced blend of heavy duty techno, electro, house and breaks’.

This track is as good as it gets,

THE ONLY THING WE NEED TO KNOW



Stéphane Pompougnac,

French house DJ, born i Paris. You might recognize his name from the Hôtel Costes compilations. Pompougnac started playing in the mid 80-ies. He plays at Hôtel Costes where all celebrities go when in Paris, as well as for various fashion shows (read: Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci…). Don’t know if I like this song or not, but I do like the beat appearing in 1:11.
And I kind of like the way he says “Broadway on the Champs-Élysées”.

Stéphane Pompougnac - Living on the Edge
(Chill-out, from the album with the same name living on the edge, released in 2003.)

TRIPLE FORCE

What do you get when the owner of the house label "Work It Baby" and "Compuphonic" decides to work with an electro DJ and record producer from Chicago and one of the hottest French producers of today? You get the collaboration of three individuals of the modern music; Kris Menace, Felix Da Housecat and Fred Falke. Triple talent!

The result is Falke's signature beachy bass lines meshed with a bunch of spacey synths mixed all together to something 'Artificial'.

The single is newly released and steaming hot. It made my day so artificial hot that I just wanted to pile into a pool of ice cubes.

Kris Menace feat Felix Da House & Fred Falke - Artificial
(house, 2008) (low bitrate)

This is their first time working all three together (and we're hoping it's not the last!), but it's not the very first time they've teamed up or touched each others tunes.

KLEERUP / DAFT PUNK


anders kleerup just released his selfentitled album "kleerup" which is a electronica-album containing lots of swedish artists on vocals such as robyn, lykke li and marit bergman. as for me this unknown 33 year old produced an amazing album - the best swedish so far this year(?). give to you two of the songs from the album, the latter having a sound similar to alan braxe & fred falke. also, i give you the breaks and beats of daft punk's famous track "technologic", for you to play with:

PURE LIFELIKE

Lifelike is starting his USA tour with Alan Braxe this upcoming weekend. Despite the lovely summer that just started here in Norway, I wouldn't mind clubbing at Studio B in NYC this Saturday either. I guess I'm not the only one. Which sane person on earth would pass the chance to see these French guys live doing what they do the best? What do they do the best you ask? French house music, duh!

Since some of us still have exams and don't own a private jet, we're stuck in Scandinavia/insert your home. No need to cry though, we still have their frenchtastic mp3s to get through the summer days.

Here are a couple (uhm) of my favorites by Lifelike.
Some old, some new, mostly remixes - but all very good!
