Look At The Sky

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

A few years ago, no one even knew about Deadmau5. Now, he’s everywhere and its like people can’t get enough of him, and a friend of mine even claims they went to highschool together.

Ghosts’n'Stuff is almost a classic these days, but his remixes are also definitely worth a listen.

Nathan Fake - The Sky Was Pink (Deadmau5 Remix)

Also check out this video of him playing a club in Ibiza. Like DJ Cal, I also lost my shit around the 2:17 mark. The ‘mau5 also gets a ton of cred from me for calling his tour “For Lack Of A Better Name” and his album “Random Album Title” like he just don’t give a fuck.

I Like To Fall In Love

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Van Scott was right on when he dropped me an email tonight suggesting that I might like these tracks. They’re all remixes of the Drlkt Freddie track “Airtight” and they’re all pretty sweet, each in their own way.

I like the vocals because they’re reminicsent of One More Time from Daft Punk’s Discovery, and I’m sure that the Airtight track (particularly the Tronik Youth remix) would have fit perfectly in Interstella 555: Secret Star System.

If you haven’t seen that movie, you’re missing out. Its probably the perfect combination of one of the greatest love stories ever animated and one of the coolest, feature-length music videos that you’ll ever see.

Drlkt Freddie - Airtight (Dept Remix)

Drlkt Freddie - Airtight (Sonic Truth Remix)

Drlkt Freddie - Airtight (Tronik Youth Remix)

Alphabeat - Digital Love (Daft Punk cover)

Miracle Fortress - Digital Love (Daft Punk cover)

Thanks to Tashed and Winnie Cooper for letting me snag those Daft Punk covers.

You can find more Drlkt Freddie here. Then go watch Interstella 555.

Oh, yeah. One more thing: This blog post is dedicated to Louie Fresco and Mrs. Fresh.

Expert Traveler

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

On my way home from a little holiday jaunt over to the valley isle, airport security directed me away from the lineup of American cattle and towards the queue for Expert Travelers.

Finally - some recognition for the amount of time that I’ve spent at airports.

They still made me take off my shoes, and I was subject to additional screening because I forgot to take an American nickel out of my pocket.

Here are some airplane-related tracks that you can cruise the skies to.

Daft Punk -Voyager

Louie Vega & Jay ‘Sinister’ - Diamond Life (I just love those Hed Kandi cats)

Coyote - Too Hard (Aeroplane Remix) (snagged off of Palms Out)
