takin' it back

Rainy and dreary as fuck in Montreal. Here's a little picker-upper. Throwback vibes, with summer just around the corner.

Wale- Freaks (Bird Peterson remix)

A fuckin' classic. No doubt about it. If you haven't heard this remix before, you have been missing out on something great. Haunting harps and sing-song swagger make for such a fresh combo. The drum programming is fantastic as fuck as well.

Curtis Vodka- Eastside Westside Can You Bounce

This song is a time machine, which takes you back to the summer of 2007. Baltimore club was still infecting tracks all over the place. Alaskan electronic music maestro Curtis Vodka gave birth to this soothing, soulful monster of a track and gave us a soundtrack to the great nights spent sippin brewski's, blowin el's and watching the stars.

Cam'ron ft Kanye West- Down and Out

Kanye, this is that 1970s heron flow, huh?

Kid Sister- Daydreaming (Telephoned Dreams version)

Telephoned is a relatively new project featuring Fool's Gold Records producer Sammy Bananas and NYC vocalist Maggie Horn. They've released their brand new E.P. this week on Fool's Gold, so you should definitely check it out HERE if you dig the vibes. They turn Daydreaming into a groovy little summer breezer.

BONUS:

You might remember my post about Kris Skovmand, the great undiscovered alt-folk talent (LINK!). In that post, I posted one of his songs on mediafire instead of hosting it on the server, which means a lot of you skipped on downloading it. That's pretty unfortunate, being that it's one of my favorites of his, so I uploaded it for your greedy ears.

Broaden Your Horizons: Kris Skovmand

(all respect due to Sage Vaughn)


This installment of Broaden Your Horizons is going to focus on a very peculiar artist, one that I miraculously discovered on a psychoactive trip. I've posted one of his songs before, and I figured that you might enjoy a few other tracks from the very talented Kris Skovmand. (Actually, I just fancied posting his songs. Screw you guys.)

Kris Skovmand is a 24 year old singer-songwriter, originally from Florida, who cooks up a rather interesting blend of alt-folk, although labeling his music is rather pointless. He's traveled all around the world, lived in places like Belgium, Romania and Denmark, and has been composing since he's 13. I would have never come across his shit if it weren't for a friend of a friend, and I'm quite happy that I did. The minute I heard his music, it blew my mind. The hooks are simple, the melodies are nothing to write home about, but it gives off a great vibe. This is music to roll it up to, just in time for summer. As well, he's an unsigned, practically unknown artist. I figure that you might like a break from the pop/folk/rock mainstream for a little while. I've also included three videos, one for "I roll it up",one for the title track of his album, "Little friday", and the third for "Wild Deer" The second video is fucking mangled to hell, really poor editing job, but I think you get the idea. The third looks like it was made in Microsoft Paint. It's raw, it's ridiculous, and it's real.

Hope you guys enjoy.

Bonus:

The friend who introduced me to Kris Skovmand's music has a very talented brother who, (surprise!), also writes songs. It's a very short clip, and the sound quality is atrocious, but I think you'll like it anyways. His name is A.J. Cattapan from Alberta, and he writes great melodies. We'll get back to the usual content tomorrow, don't worry. Just MDMAwesome taking over the airwaves for a short while, as I'm prone to doing.
