2/12/2012 Song of the Des!

Is today a happy day? Barring any firery wrecks, yes, very happy. Enjoy this awesome nu disco track from Scandinavian Todd Terje. It's more complex than it sounds like at first so give it a chance. Below is the description of the track by another blogger who probably knows more about music than I do so I won't try. This song was featured on NPR's song of the day blog a week or two ago, and was part of the reason I wanted to start a song of the day thing myself.

"...Terje steps out with a winning four-track EP titled It's the Arps — and it is, because all the music was made with a classic old ARP synthesizer. Terje's range and dynamism is on full display in Arps' lead track, "Inspector Norse," which starts with a cosmic whoosh before settling into a hopping little disco groove.

"At first, the track doesn't sound like much, but as it builds over nearly seven minutes, things coalesce neatly: The lead "piano" line begins meanderingly but soon settles into a fetching tune, and when it drops out about two and a half minutes in, a computery-sounding line that had been playing support steps into the limelight and steals the show. It crests and ebbs differently for the rest of its time, too, but that groove remains rock-solid, impossible to resist, and critical to what's already one of 2012's defining dance tracks." - Michaelangelo Matos

2/11/2012 Song of the Des!

It's cold and the slightest of snow flurries are flurrying here in Athens, OH today. But I don't feel depressed. I tried to choose a techno track that captured the serenity and the silence of the outside AND the not depressed mood I'm in for whatever reason. It's 'Leaving' by Gregor Tresher.

2/10/2012 Song of the Day!

Here's a beautiful classic track from one of my favorite producers, Paul Keeley, who has been off the grid for over a year at least. Eim so HAAD to zat (Bing translation: That sucks.) This is Life Aquatic. The video is unrelated, fan-made, but kind of related because the dude ripped clips of water from Planet EARTH.

2/9/2012 Song of the Day

Picked up a part-time job this week and instantly became SO frakking busy i didn't even have a chance to do the song of the day for wednesday... :( Not like anyone cares. :'(

And since im up late working, 2/9's SOD is posted early. It's thursday now and i feel like a darker grinding marching techno track from Good ol' Dutch duo Mason. It's called 'Ignite'. Keep truckin' the weekend is on the horizon... somewhere far far away on the horizon...

Song of the Day 2/7/2012!

Today's song of the day is actually 87 songs. In a mix. 84 minutes long. From Dieselboy. He released this mix yesterday and was all jacked about it, and I quote:

"My goal is to make the most intricate, layered, and amazing mix that’s ever been done. Period. I’m not trying to just put out a mix; I’m trying to put out a mix that other DJs will listen to and aspire TO do. I don’t fuck around. I want to be amazing."

SO, if you feel like listening to like 60 Drum & Bass tracks and the rest dubstep tracks all, at least mathematically, less than one minute, then you're about to have a great freaking tuesday.

2/6/2012: Song of the Day!

After playing the Syndicate demo, in which you rip computer chips out of peoples' heads, there's an intense trailer which makes the game look probably legitimately twice as good as it actually is. And most of that is probably because of the song. Skrillex worked on the song officially for the game as far as I understand. It would probably make a montage of old people in a nursing home twice as intense...

Song of the Day 2/4/2012

I'm tired of half blasts and zero blasts that continue to plague me. I go out to SEEK out FULL BLAST. Tomorrow's the super bowl. I intend on busting it FULL BLAST.

Here it is, Bloody Beetroots remix of The Whip's Muzzle #1. Get going. Seek full blast in your existence. Not merely subsistence.
