Dillon Francis and 22 Jump Street

Today I have some music for you by the funniest DJ in the electronic world, Dillon Francis. Now this song is totally different in comparison to all the other songs he has put out there. This song falls heavily on the side of progressive house rather than moombahton. Dillon Francis is trying a different direction with his music on this new album, and this song is one that really defines the difference. This song features the vocal work and musicianship of The Chain Gang of 1974. This song is actually full of collaborators, and I find that to be a great thing. I really like the way this song sounds because it is very different for Dillon Francis yet still retains some of the elements that are associated with his style. A lot of people are not happy with this transition, but many more really like this move. I personally really love this song and like the way Dillon Francis is able to create a progressive house song very well. However, I am also a huge fan of Dillon Francis' old style because it seems to suit him and his personality much more. There is something inherently original and stylistically his when it comes to moombahton beats. But, Dillon Francis did a really great job making this track and you can tell that work went into producing it. Dillon Francis worked really well with the Chain Gang of 1974. This artist has a style that can be described as electronic and indietronica. So, this the Chain Gang of 1974 is a really great addition to the song because not only can it offer great vocals, but also contribute to the electronic production behind the song. The Chain Gang of 1974 gives really good vocals that are energetic and exciting. While I am still rooting for Dillon Francis' old style, I am not rejecting this style as well. Keep it up Dillon Francis! Keep surprising us! Today's instrumental song is from the movie 22 Jump Street. While this song has less electronic influence in it, the entire 22 Jump Street soundtrack is incredible. All of these songs have extremely heavy electronic influences and the DJs used are wicked. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Kongos and Beastie Boys

Today's song is a really cool one out of South Africa by the band Kongos. There are so many awesome things happening in this song. For example the first sounds you hear is this really sick accordion work, and yes, these guys made the accordion look even cooler than any other musician out there has. I love the way they use the accordion and the tone of it. And then you hit the chorus which has these really strong vocals and you get the feel from the multiple voices with these sweet guitar licks and such a loud presence with the electric guitar. This song just kicks some major ass! Today's song is by the Beastie Boys, and is one of my favorite songs by them. For those of you who don't really know the Beastie Boys, you may recognize this song from Star Trek. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Zayn Malik and Interstellar

Today I wanted to give a shout out to an artist who is both very famous and very underground. Most people know him as Zayn Malik, that guy who was in One Direction but left the band. So a little background, Zayn Malik was one of the five members of the famous boy band, One Direction. His departure from the band was all over the news last year, and I wont' lie, I felt bad for him. Not because he left the band, but because of what that meant for him in the public eye. It marked him as a huge target for papparzi and press, and I just feel so bad for him because he had to live in that public eye for so long. Which is one of the reasons why he wanted to leave. To live his life more quietly. So that of course, is a consequence of his level of fame. But on the other hand, we have his more quiet and surprising side. Zayn Malik is due to release his debut solo album this year, and I have to say, I am very excited! His voice is one that is meant for R&B and soul, for hitting those more e...

Ima Robot and Tame Impala

Today I have a song for you by the band known as Ima Robot. Many of you will recognize this song because it is used in the show Suits. Disclaimer, Suits is a wonderfully fantastic show and I highly recommend you go watch it. Anyway, this song has a really cool and suave feel to it. It has that artsy urban grunge to it which I really like. It is a different way of performing rock music and takes you back to the 90's style of music. This song has a really cool charm to it because a lot of the song falls on the support of the bass guitar over the drums. The bass guitar serves as a secondary percussion to the rest of the instrumentals. It is actually kind of awesome how simple the instruments are in this song because when you bring the together you hear a really sick song. The main instruments are of course the bass guitar, tambourine, drums, and keyboard. Nothing else makes an appearance and I like it that way. The music in this song is so structured but so laid back at the same time....
