Keeping It Fresh

Today I have some really amazing music by a German artist by the name Schiller. A friend of mine introduced me to Schiller and I have been binge listening to his music because it is that good. Talk about trance music that really puts you in another state of mind! What Schiller does is absolutely wonderful! Schiller is an artist who likes to throw in a lot of different flairs to an underlying common sound with his music. But that underlying trance is what brings his style to the forefront. Schiller is an artist who likes to create trance music the way it was made at the beginning. His type of trance is what people should think about when thinking about that kind of music. What I like about this though is Schiller is able to add in anything from funk to disco to Europop into his songs and still make them all sound like trance. This is not an easy feat, and it is something I am very impressed with. Schiller also kind of spans the energy spectrum with his music. It is not all laid back tra...

Today I have some music for you by Birds Of Tokyo. Now I have to say, this band always seems to throw in little surprises into their songs. Each one has a special musical theme that is very intriguing. In this song, the theme kind of centers around the use of the bass guitar to create the main background sounds and beat with the help of some piano synth. Pretty spectacular in my opinion. And the climax isn't really made with a huge instrumental change but rather, a rising of the vocals and then a single drum beat. I think it is absolutely amazing! It takes a lot of precision and accuracy to create such a build up of energy with something so simple. Today's instrumental song is from one of my favorite animated movies ever! How To Train Your Dragon is just an amazing movie with great lessons, a great script, and a phenomenal soundtrack. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today I have some sick music for you all. This song comes from the world of Bollywood, but has an extremely interesting dynamic to it. Generally, Bollywood music tends to stray away from a lot of remixing and heavy electronic work, but recently, that ideal has changed. We hear a lot more EDM and house woven throughout the Indian kind of sound. With this song, we get Bollywood and dubstep. This song may even be the first of its kind, but I do know for sure this is the first Bollywood-Dubstep to ever get popularized. This song comes from the movie The Shaukeens which many people have never heard about, even those who actively watch Bollywood movies. But this song seemed to really take off and become a huge hit. What I love about this song is that it is very versatile in the dance world. This is a song that can be used to work out to, it is a song that you can up with sick choreography, and it is a song that is perfect for the club. Now some people have their own opinions about this song,...

Today I have some music by the artist known as Gotye. His most popular song was heard all over the world and is actually deemed one of Australia's most influential artists. However, I am not here to talk about a song that pretty much everybody seems to know. Gotye is an artist who has a very interesting an unique style. While none of his songs sound the same, there is this commonality in the way they are produced and performed that makes them stand out as clearly one of Gotye's. Whether it be a more energetic or subdued song, there always seems to be an underlying motif that connects all the songs together. Gotye creates music that can be seen as a bold move in the realm of pop music. He is not afraid to make the music completely his and totally out there. This is one of my favorite songs off the album for that very reason. This song in particular is incredibly intriguing because it has this intense energy to it that kind of captivates and holds you tight in its grip that you c...

Today I have music for you by an up and coming artist out of the UK. George Ezra is an artist who delivers very different kinds of folk and blues music. His specific style or genre is actually very hard to define. It is full of complicated mixes of blues, rock, folk, soul, etc. However, his music as a whole is utterly recognizable. In his debut album, Wanted on Voyage, George Ezra explores the entire spectrum of folk music, from acoustic folk rock to classic Western sounds. For an artist who is just 21 years old, George Ezra has an extremely mature voice that he knows how to control. His voice is rusty and gravelly and rough around the edges, but there is a charm there that captures you and keeps you held in awe. George Ezra is one of the most distinctive sounding singer in the world of blue-eyed soul. What is special about this voice is the capability of belting out the notes and then switching to something softer, soothing, and even a little bit intimate. Each song tends to take on m...

Hey guys, sorry about not posting yesterday. But, today I have music for you by a band known as Manic Drive. This song has a really wicked sound to it because it captures the intensity of hard rock and a heavy house beat. This song had a great combination of the two of the and honestly I think this song sounds pretty darn bad ass. I feel like the main melody is pretty simple but the background adds so much to support the main tune. There is a point in the song where there is an electro/guitar solo and when you hear that one specific segment it becomes clear how important the instruments are to this song. I love the way this song was made because most of this song relies on the use of conventional band instruments and the idea of hard rock and maybe even a little bit of metal. Now I might get some flack for posting a song by a Christian rock group, but my intention is merely to spread around this sick music. If you are bothered by the religious affiliation of the people in this group, t...

Today's song is an amazing song by an incredible band called Funeral Suits out of Dublin. They have this interesting indie and baroque sound that is just great! This song in particular has a great melody, which you can hear at the beginning, and just an overall sound that is energetic and very unique. This band is definitely worth delving deeper into because they are so damn talented and different! The Funeral Suits is a band that really like to have this slight quirkiness to their music. And to be honest I like that too because it sets them apart. They really do take on a baroque style sound to their music which very few bands do nowadays. I have never heard them sing live so I can't really give you an idea of how they might sound, but I am hoping they are good.  Today's instrumental song is from the movie Robin Hood. I just like this song a lot and it is very different compared to many other movie scores I have heard. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to com...
