WALL OF SOUND

Got a couple thick tracks for yall today. It's not easy to create layered soundscapes rich with white noise and reverberated synth blips, and its even harder to do so and maintain a sense of cohesiveness in such a track. The first song is a huge sounding remix of Delorean's "Real Love" by VC favorites LightsoverLA. The sense of space is created with generous but tasteful use of static noise and dreamy nature sounds. Definitely worth checking out.

The next track is a remix of Fenech-Soler's Lies by UK Dub/Electronica producer Doctor P. The beat is a bit dubby but contrary to the norm the rest of the song not only lacks wobble bass but also features a definitive melody. Very large and epic sounding, lots of noise. The original is worth checking out too.

LightsoverLA remau5es

The fellas of LightsoverLA are real skittish. They couldn't sleep because they saw a mouse in their room and it drove them crazy! A dead mouse. Luckily they had some chords to work with.

LightsoverLA remixed deadmau5, is basically what I'm getting at here. Give the dubstep edit an audiopeep, deadmau5 did.

"Sounds Good"? If its good enough for him its good enough for you. deadmau5 is probably one of the only actual artists I've seen in charge of their own facebooks. The dude seems pretty computer savvy, though. Not that its that hard or anything. We figured it out just fine.

And I'm going to go ahead and use the word that people only get to say once a year to describe the remix they've done of Hurts' Better Than Love: epic. If this was played on the big stages like they've been playing at recently with the likes of the Twelves and Grum, you'd probably have an epiphany. Wait, that's not the word. I mean boner.

We also have here one of their golden oldies, a LightsoverLA mashup of deadmau5's the reward is cheese and one of the best tracks on MSTRKRFT's Fist of God, Bounce. The reward is: The reward is bounce.

As always, click on the special looking text to hear the beautiful music!

Lightin' it up...again

Yet another great remix from the up-and-coming Phoenix based electro artist, lightsoverLA, and what else would you have expected? With their last two extremely well put together remixes making it to the top 20 list on Hypem, one gracing the number 1 spot while the other coming one shy of the top spot, there were some high expectations for this one. Enter Crystal Castles new track "Vietnam" from their latest LP, and what they've come up with is a ravey reinterpretation of the song, chopping parts of it up and propelling it even further. As always, it's a great song to throw down on the dancefloor, and we can't wait to to hear more remixes and (hopefully) some new original material. I personally recommend ripping a bowl of the finest Oregon dro and putting this on today. Happy 4/20 y'all.

ps. If you find yourself hanging out in Santa Monica on May 8th, hit up The V-Lounge for one of the best show line-ups I've seen in a while. Twelves, Grum, Short Curcuit, and LightsoverLA. Damn.

p.ps Go 'zers.

New LightsoverLA + Interview

LightsoverLA, the rapidly trending electronic outfit that actually hails from Phoenix, have recently spent the past week or so occupying the top spot on Hypem for their remix of Two Door Cinema Club’s What You Know.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I know y'all like to drink. I know y'all like to party. Therefore, I know y'all really love St. Patrick's Day. In honor of drinking, Guinness Beer, potatoes and that drunk degenerate St. Patrick, I'm giving all of you some songs to get your party started. Naturally, the band I'm featuring is from Ireland; I would even say theyre the best new music currently coming from there. I present to you, Two Door Cinema Club.
