Felix Cartal and Bassjackers & MAKJ

Today I have some more electronic music. This first song is by an electronic artist who seems to enjoy staying out of the huge spotlight. Felix Cartal is one of my favorite DJ's right now. His music is really fresh and very different in comparison to a lot of the vocal electronic tracks that are being pumped out by the industry. Felix Cartal takes time with his tracks, but that is also the reason we get awesome songs like this. The vocalist in this song is of course phenomenal, as are all EDM vocalists. But what really catches you is the drop after each run of the chorus. That adjoining instrumental part of the chorus is just banging! There is so much energy in this song and this is one that makes you want to let loose and go crazy. And lets be honest, that is the best kind of dancing This is a song that evokes that crazy, giving no care to what others think, kind of dancing. Felix Cartal is an artist who really makes the music his own. A lot of big name artists can sound similar, but I love the way Felix Cartal sounds. I won't lie, if I have not heard a song by him I would not be able to pick his song out of a group indefinitely, but I would be able to tell that there is something very original and organic about the music. This song also features some piano work which always makes me think about how crazy cool that makes this song. Today's instrumental song is wicked beyond belief. Bassjackers and MAKJ work really well together which is totally evident by the fact that this song will knock your socks off. To be totally honest, this is one of the cooler songs I have heard so far this year. This song has everything from awesome buildups to sick drops to a melody that will make you jump up and down and go completely wild. I think the name of the song is pretty ironic considering this song is anything but derpy. But honestly, it is all good and makes me smile! I have to say, so far in the world of electronic music, we have seen and heard some pretty neat stuff. I just hope we continue to see some sick collaborations like this one in the future!

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....
