can you feel the love?

I'm not talking about the Lion King, there will be no harm to animals ever on this blog. What I supposed is Rudimentals summer smash "Feel the love". Even if you are not a huge D&B fan you probably heard the song, it was impossible to miss it was everywhere which as always gave birth to very ambivalent feelings towards a basically good song. The guy who sings the vocal.. no its not Rudimental.. It's John Newman, "Love me again" should ring a bell, even if not the original but some dubsetp and drum and bass remixes which are floating out there like tiny plankton in the sea of music. Wow. So Subsoul which is another great label for anyone who like good electronic music, released the Wayward remix of the song "Cheating". If you into old Mj Cole era garage this comes pretty close to it. It won't necessarily be a song you throw your hands in the air but a perfect ending to a great night. Another way to put it: A garage love song. So here it is this week almost banger John Newman -Cheating (Wayward remix).

Things I find in a garage


At times comes a song which should be better known. I'm talking about a song that you can show to someone who isn't really into as they refer to it "computer noise". I'm also not talking about the pop non-sense again. If you want to present someone country music, you don't show them Taylor Swift. For me a good funk house hits home. Instruments, with a super bass, upbeat, and of course a sensational vocal. Well garage music as genre falls into -some of - these criteria. Since Mj Cole Artful Dodger I had trouble coming across something garagely funky. Something I put on repeat and  joyous with it for the whole day. During my recent expedition I came across an album released in early march. Traxx -House that garage built. Its a fair compilation of garage music by mostly U.K. Producers. I really won't talk about the album if you really into -revived- garage music well, yes sure listen to it. I would encourage you to pay attention to one track which stands out more then the others. In some ways it isn't even appropriate.

We all do have sunny/rainy days. Well music is the same, we all find good or bad songs on an album we should like or should not like. Harry Wolfman's remix of Ben Pearce's "What I might do" is undoubtedly the sunnier -way sunnier- days of the album. A mix worth sharing. A perfect Wednesday music. It reminds you of the weekend - like the garage music brings out that late happy '90s European club scene- this song brings out the weekend fun in a way it allows us to intellactually prepare for it. A song if stuck in one's head anytime thinking/singing it, will bring out some great memories. And if the memories fade in the mist of the past (or alcohol) will vitalize our music receptors to make us put on our "going-out best clothes" and make some of those memories.

Triangles are my favourite shape


The weekend is over, the party is over, at least for some. For some, the night never stops it just gets brighter. But now the weekend is over, so here is something to go with going to your porch and relax, or as the weather recently is, in your room and relax. But honestly the more I listen to it I don't want to wait til Sunday to play, or hear it again. As it is, it should be played as baby making music. So you can dance to it "toe to toe back to back".
To be exact it's a song that should be played on a porch while you in a hammock baby making on Sunday. Now don't expect that you will hear a no name guy/girl today. Usually I pick music which should be well known or it will be. Now we picked someone who is already well known, she picked something which is also known- not world wide known but 3.5 million views of YouTube known-. She made a cover of it, so it can be well known and honestly should be well known and hopefully will be well known. We stroke gold -again- with this gem. It's Ellie Goulding, (you probably remember the pretty catchy-not sure if it's that good of a thing tho-song "Lights", which probably still comes in your head anytime you stop at a traffic light, or hit the light switch, or God forbids you order something light), but that's the past, this Alt-J cover is something worth paying attention to. I truly hope some of the talented DJs, producers create a mix that way you can think of the hammock while you partying. So here is our week closing song. Ellie Goulding-Tessellate.
