Recluse

Oh how I've been slacking off for the past weeks. So quick update before heading to my family

2011 is right around the corner and I think it's time to drop a bit more Nero. Seems like a logical thing to do since I saw them in Montreal with some friends not long ago and they will absolutely be killing it in 2011.

The Streets - Blinded By The Lights (Nero Remix)

Plan B - Recluse (Nero Remix)

Nero - Me and You 

Boy Crisis - Dressed to Digress (Nero Remix)

Here's a nice little jumble of songs for you, from old to new, they're all banging! Blinded by the Lights has the dopest (pun intented) video. Recluse is my favorite for sure. Me and You is going be released on their upcoming work on Chase and Status' record label MTA. Dressed to Digress must have the most illogical lyrics of all time.



Oh and don't miss the Essential Mix they did a month ago. They play a bunch of their remixes, unreleased shit, body&mind pounding dubstep, all the way to french electro and back. This must be one of the greatest mixes I've heard in my life.

Nero - BBC Radio1 Essential Mix 11/13/2010 by Ear Cande

Merry Christmas my fantastic followers.

Split Second

Lot of people have been sleeping on this young group called Split Second. Their style could be compared to well known Chiddy Bang since they produce what you can call "Indie Hip Hop". They've done some cool remixes/covers of popular electro/indie tunes. As an example, they succeeded pretty well in giving a hip hop twist to the bashing track "Innocence" originally produced by Nero. I personally think this group has what it takes to blow the fuckup in the next year. You be the judge.

Remixes :
Nero - Innocence (Split Second Remix)
Split Second - Until We Bleed (Lykke Li Edit)

An original recently released, shit goes hard :
Split Second - Blood Diamond

enjoy

Nero- Innocence (Original mix) (Right click, save link as. For all of those who haven't figured it out yet.)

Brand new original tune from British bass baron Nero. Humongous, heavy and haunting. (Bonus points for alliteration?)

POGO- Upular (Rynecologist Helium Rework)

I told y'all that Rynecologist was dope in a recent post. This rework only adds to his appeal. This song is ridiculous. I can't even quite explain why it is good, though. It sounds like a television ad from the 1950s, something with a cartoon character, children, and a lesson to learn. Bomb shit!

Jay Malinowski- There's a light

Admittedly, I didn't know that this guy was a member of Canadian pop-reggae group Bedouin Soundclash when I first heard his album. Sometimes, that lack of a predisposed bias on something is refreshing as fuck. In my mind, this is soulful, moving music. Is this song popular on Canadian radio? No fucking clue. I haven't watched television in 5+ years, and I have no idea if I'm "supposed" to dislike this.

Ok Go- This too shall pass (Passion Pit remix)

It's just great indie rock music, y'all. If you still dislike this song after watching the Rube Goldberg Machine-featuring video posted below, you hate happiness. Passion Pit turn the original into something of a raving whirling dervish anthem.

Billy Boyo- One Spliff a day

One spliff a day keep the evil away.

to conclude, I'll drop two videos. One that is completely relevant to the post, and was mentioned above. The other, which foreshadows a gargantuan summer hit. Duck Sauce is back, baby. A-Trak + Armand Van Helden = heaven for your ears. Barbara Streisand will rule the airwaves this summer, and I can't wait. Yes, there are better quality videos of A-trak dropping this song at a festivals, but this one, filmed in a sweaty club at WMC 2010, is my favorite. The sound quality is atrocious, we can barely make out who is djing, but HOLY SHIT does the crowd go nuts. And that's the most important thing.





I'm off on vacation for Easter weekend. I leave you in the very capable hands of Byneford & Calibaba.

Behave.
