Smallpools and Passion Pit

Today's song is by a new band called Smallpools. Now when I heard this song, the first thing that came to mind was Passion Pit. Both groups have very similar sounds. But what makes Smallpools different is a greater use of funky guitar sounds and more of an indie sound than pop. All in all, I think this is a great group and I seriously can't wait to hear more music from them! This is just some awesome feel-good music and the melodies are catchy while also having that other worldly feel. As in I can totally imagine myself driving down a highway with either the city lights above me at night or driving towards the Pacific in the sunset. Today's instrumental song is from the band Passion Pit! I thought it fit well, so here we go! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today I have some music for you by Tritonal and Paris Blohm. Both of these artists are forces to be reckoned with. They may be considered "new blood" in the world of electronic music, but these two definitely belong up there. This song is so incredibly wicked! This song was just so well produced and it has some of the sickest elements I have heard in a very long time. The opening of this song starts calmly and with a piano but then it turns into such a pumped up song. When people see video clips of electronic concert goers jumping and dancing and having a wild time, this song is something that could be playing in the background. It has all the elements of a fantastic trance song. The vocal verses are less intense and less electronic oriented. In this case, the piano and keyboard take the verses on. But then during the buildup, the vocals turn into a beautifully strong scream accompanied by synths and then leads up to a drop that makes you want to go wild. The composition and ...

Felix Cartal and Wolfgang Gartner

Today I have music for you by the DJ known as Felix Cartal. I love the way this song sounds because it has a really good beat and the hook melody is extremely catchy. The drops are on point and the rhythm is one that you can have fun with, dancing or just kind of going crazy. I think these vocals are actually perfect for this song and I love how there is a point when they throw the beat down on a piano. I absolutely love the buildups in this song. They are long enough to create intensity but too long to where you get bored of it. This is a very well put together song in my opinion. Today's instrumental song is by the talented Wolfgang Gartner. This song is pretty interesting because it has a pretty intense feel to it. It almost sounds like something that would be used in a fight scene, and when I say this for some reason my mind automatically goes to Teen Wolf....Anyway, I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Postmodern Jukebox and The Jungle Book

Today I have some music for you from one of my absolute cover groups ever. This group takes songs that we all know and love, and turns them into the jazziest renditions and it is wonderful. Postmodern Jukebox is possibly one of the most creative and fun and incredible artists I have ever heard. The ability to take a song that is extremely popular, and cover it with an original style is hard enough to find. But to then take that popular song and change the entire style of the song to reflect a different genre and time period? Well, there is a reason there is only one band out there like Postmodern Jukebox. Their work is nothing short of magnificent. The creativity that flows through each and every one of their performances is endless. Turning rap songs, rock songs, alternative songs, and pop songs into jazz and swing jams is just the beginning of their ability. Postmodern Jukebox composes each rendition and performs every instrumentation on their own. The melody changes, rhythm differen...
