Too Cool to be Trying.

 New Wax Nostalgic! If you do not know who that is, then you are probably new to the blog, which is awesome! But you really need to check his stuff out! Like seriously, go to his Soundcloud. And my older posts for easy to find downloads.

Here today is a remix of a newer song by Pheonix, Trying to be Cool. Which has been remixed quite a bit, but Wax Nostalgic works some magic again, and makes a good song even better!  With this one I really like the vocals on the track, as well the light synths added to give it a more airy sound. This makes for a catchy sound that gets stuck in your head. Every song that Wax Nostalgic puts out just gets me eager to hear what else he comes up with. Especially because he always delivers.



Download this track and add it to that disco, indie, or summer playlist and enjoy.

Groove to This.

Ready for something a little funky fresh? I know I am. Here is a cut from Classixx. This song is bringing some disco funk vibes and is the perfect sound for a sunny day. It's up beat floaty feel makes me want to run outside and have a dance party. In the middle of a park. By myself. On a Sunday afternoon. Puttin' this on repeat and rollin' the windows down.



Get the song here if you want to listen to it.

Topsidin'

Today we have some more tracks from the quality producer DJ Topsider. He has been pumping more tracks out the last few weeks. This first track being his latest has a real summer like feel to it. It makes me want to sit in the sun and just soak it up. Or maybe go on a drive with the windows down, and swim circles in the warm waters of Coba San Lucas. This disco like summer jam is sure to get your body movin'.



The track sampled in this song is pure fire! Its French Kiwi Juice's Lying Together and it was probably one of my favorite songs of 2012, with a vibe that can get anyones head bobbin'. Dj Topsider adds Mike Posner's bars from Gone in September off of Mike Stud's Mix-tape from 2011. Bringing these two songs together forming a creative bond that makes a hit. Lovin' it!


I have been looking for some good versions of Suit and Tie by JT and I have found a few remixes. I think the original is too slow isn't really upbeat enough, but this mash up gives it a pretty groovy feel and definitely makes the radio saturating track more listenable.


Standing on the Shore is just a solid track, it has a driving bass-line that isn't too nuts, but gets you moving, for sure. A good track that has some great vocal samples and a overall good feel to it.

Kick Paul Wright.

One of my favorite artists ever, Paul Wright, is having a kickstarter because he is trying to produce a new album. His stuff is quality. I've been listenin' to him since around 2003 when he started and I am bummed that he hasn't put out any new music in a while. This is a time where we can help him out. Check out the video below. Contributing to the project will get you a copy of the album, signed. I will probably do the $25 level, but some of the higher ones are also tempting. So check it out! If you like his music help him out. Click Here.



Here is some of his music, which is perfect for some sunshiny weather and will definitely be good to bump to all summer long. Also some downloads off of Soundcloud. Have at it!
 

Study Tapes.

Alright. Time for some more chill study music. I have just really been enjoying instrumental music a lot lately. It is good to listen to at anytime. While reading, doing homework, napping, or just chillin. So check out this mixtape by No Axis. "The Lucid Tapes" is a tape this is just super slow and chill and all around good instrumental music, that doesn't really get too crazy and stays pretty downbeat  at most points. This is actually a mixtape and EP in one. They are separated 30 seconds of silence, but are both made up of some solid tracks.

Some mentionable tracks are  Cloud's Edge, Induction and Thaw. Though every track off this has that nice ambient vibe that I enjoy. Though Paranoia is a little creepy, especially when you are trying to sleep, but this is a solid set of releases.



Get the whole thing of of No Axis Bandcamp, as well as another recently released EP.

Relient Kay.

So I am writing a 15 page paper right now, but this just popped up on my news feed so I have to share it!

New song from Relient K and I am stoked! This is the first single off of their upcoming album titled "Collapsible Lung" slated to be released sometime in July. I have not been the biggest fan of their more recent stuff, but after listening through "Forget and Not Slow Down" a few more times over the last couple months I really enjoyed it, and it has gotten me excited.

Here is a lyric video for Don't Blink and I have to say I am pretty impressed. Relient K has strayed pretty far from their more early 00's punk sound, and I am totally okay with that. This song definitely keeps with their alternative style and adds a tid bit of indie, mainly in the first verse, with mainly some  classic Relient K sound, making for a pretty solid first single to hear from them since their last original album in 2009. Also hearing Matt Thiessen's voice just brings me happiness, so there's that! Enjoy the music and video!

Panda Listening.

It has been a while! Way too busy this quarter, and way too  much new music pumping out, hopefully I can cover all the stuff I want to.

The White Panda is a mash-up duo that has been on my radar for a while now, putting out some good mixes and tapes over the years. Though some of their recent tracks have really stood out to me, so here are two that I really enjoy.

Firefly is just awsome. This is a mash-up that has some Lumineers, Ellie Goulding, Kendrick Lamar. Very interesting mix but making for a track that I play on the daily. Ellie Goulding is prime for remixing to and throwing in a mashup-up, so definitely cannot complain about this track here. I like the feel and smooth verse from Lamar with some classing Goulding sound and Mashed up.



This next track is another one sampling from Kendrick Lamar and is a slowed song that can is awsome to listen to whenever, studying, chillin', going hard in the paint. Yeah, I can listen to this track whenever.



Pick up these two tracks on soundcloud. They have a plethora of free tracks in their cloud, over 100. If you have some extra time, take it to explore and see if you like any more of it. They have some other pretty good ones, and if you are more into hour long mixes they have that too. Check these guys out. No. Seriously.
