Get Lost

Stumbled upon this pretty eclectic album selected by Acid Pauli called Get Lost V. The whole thing is pretty cool and really really long.. theres 40 some tracks, including a continuous Dj mix by Pauli.  I should really get on with checking out I through IV too I guess.... 

I'm a sucker for interesting reinterpretations of a song you know so well, that when you hear it done differently you aren't even exactly sure what it is but you're there singing along. These are both those kinda songs.

Sitting on the streetcar on my way to a hockey game this song comes on and I'm going through the lyrics in my head but for some reason can't place what it is until I pull my phone out of my pocket to see.. D'UH! Radiohead's Idioteque.

Calico Horse - Idioteque

And then this one. I was thinking it was Genesis, or Phil Collins... well close enough... Mike & The Mechanics.  If you weren't around when this song was the first time.. or want to see a weird ass 80s video: go check this out . Alternatively, you could boogie to the one I was listening to... I recommend BOTH!

Amirali - Hear Me

Now go get those Easter eggs!

these boots were made for postin'

Maybe its the beautiful Spring day outside. Maybe its the Kombucha I just drank. Maybe even its the poking from a few select friends about not posting anything. I'm just going to skip the mumbo jumbo and get to some choons.

The Players Union are a collective of guys in Manchester that I seriously recommend checking out! They have all kinds of cool productions and a fantastic mix on their soundcloud titled "Gold". Pretty damn appropriate, too. Cuz its a deep soulful disco set that is pretty much Solid Gold. Here's what introduced me to them.  You really can't go wrong paying respect to Bill Withers.  And what better way to do so than in song.

The Players Union - Respect To Bill (Vocal Mix)

You know those tracks where theres just an endless lists of the who's who being listed as inspirations. Daft Punk and ummm some other French act who skips my mind are the most notable ones I can think of. Anyway it happens in this track, so if that bugs you I appologize. Usually it bothers me but I just love the crackling of the vinyl at the beginning of this track and the fun jazzy riffs through the whole thing. Reminds me of the old days in Halifax, with some Mark Farina playin' on the Hi-Fi on South Park St...

 Jacob Korn & Kelli Hand - Dance Away (Original Mix)

On a recent musical pilgrimage on the old tinternet I found a bunch of artists I didn't know about.  And these guys are my favourite "new to me" find. They're fantastic! I love the sound, the energy and everything I've heard from them so far.  This track likely being my favourite, asks some very good questions that I'm sure we all know the answer to (and choose to ignore most of the time, thankfully). Umami in Space or Umami for short are a duo from Germany that've been producing together for a couple years. I highly recommend checking out their 2 Year Anniversary mix on soundcloud where they feature a selection of their original productions and remixes they've done over that time into one pretty dope set.
