Monday, Fun-Day
Nobody likes Mondays, least of all myself; here’s some party music to make you remember how much we love the weekends.
Pierce Fulton - Lay Right Here
Genre: Electronic
Pierce Fulton is awesome and no one knows who he is; that makes it that much more awesome for those of us who know who he is - it’s like the transitive property of awesomeness.
Together - So Much Love to Give (Viceroy Remix)
Genre: Electronic
So I first heard this track when Fedde Le Grand put out his music video for it. Only then did I discover that the song had already been out for years. This is the best remix of the bunch.
Dave Edwards - Dance the Night Away (Original Mix)
Genre: Electronic
This is not my favroite song of the pack but Ryndone insisted so here we are. Don’t let me put you off of it though, I just happen to think it’s a little too poppy.
Dallask & Porter Robinson - Jupiter Unison (3LAU Bootleg)
Genre: Electronic/Mashup
Not a big mashup guy but this song is ridiculously good. Not for those who don’t like a little something extra in their party music but the best possible option for those that do.
Train - Hey, Soul Sister (Karmatronic Remix)
Genre: Electronic
Probably my personal favorite in this pack of party music, I mainly love this song because of how it mixes Train’s awesome vocals with a sick electronic beat. Definitely a party favorite.
Mas Dope Music
New Linen - Higher
Genre: Hip-Hop
New Linen is pretty new on the block but they compensate for their freshman status with great beat production and tightly wound lyricism; definitely worth a listen if you want that final summer song.
Mord Fustang - Milky Way (Original Mix)
Genre: Electronic
Another excellent track by Mord Fustang, this beat is perfect for practicing your electric shuffle. Good for those late night dance sessions to close out the evening.
Muzic For Your Ears
Phantogram - When I’m Small
Genre: Indie Rock
Phantogram is the rare indie rock band that seems to be able to make it big these days but don’t let that scare you away - this song is a perfect mix of grungy and smooth.
Fussy Boy - Gold (Mord Fustang Remix)
Genre: Electronic
This song is a great example of why Mord Fustang is killing it: great dance beat, good sampling, etc. Turn up your good speakers for this one and you won’t be disappointed.
The Inaugural Music Post
DangerMouse & Daniele Luppi - Black (ft. Norah Jones)
Genre: Indie Rock
This is a nice, chill track that rounded out the Breaking Bad season 4 finale. Give it a listen, DangerMouse is a veteran of quality.
Calvin Harris - Feel So Close (Special Features Remix)
Genre: Electronic
Calvin Harris is awesome. This song is awesome. That’s really all there is to it; give this song a listen at your next party.
Hope you enjoy guys, consider this the first of many.
I’ve had The Books album Lost and Safe floating around my car for about 3 years and I’ll listen to it occasionally but I always found them a little too scatter brained with their long vocal samples and scary sounds to become a full fledged fan. BUT ever since I heard their most recent album The Way Out I’ve been obsessed. This song Free Translator uses samples of a folk song (they can’t release the name due to copyright reasons- I think it’s Bob Dylan). I love the lyrics- just mad jibberish.
BODY LANGUAGE.
Body Language is going to be here THIS SATURDAY AT 10 PM AT THE MILL.
Holycrap.
As Big Stereo puts it, Body Language is like “worn out cassette tapes playing back big pop tracks, not quite chillwave but not quite club — a beautiful healthy mix.”
Body Language is a 5-piece outfit from Brooklyn (because who isn’t these days) who are being hailed all over the place as a move-your-feet act that can bring the noise. Comparisons with Friends Electric, Little Boots, Crystal Method, Toro Y Moi, Hey Champ, Treasure Fingers, and Yes Giantess (who has rocked TrinColl twice already) abound, so you know what you’re getting yourself into… In other words, prepare to sweat. At the same time, though, they’re subtle - you decide how hard you want it to hit.
Here are some tracks not to miss from their 5-song release Speaks EP…
“Huffy Ten Speed”
A nonsensical hymn for our generation, featuring hypnotically dark synths and a build to boot that erupts in an addicting chorus.
“Work This City”
Barry White with synths - laid back electronica that is simultaneously sexy, incredibly well layered, and fun to move your feet to.
Yes Giantess - “Demons” (Body Language Remix)
This is how Yes Giantess would sound if they were zombies playing in the middle of an empty ampitheater for the last time before the apocalypse hit. This is absurdly good.
So stop by. Gaffney, Fadil, and Austen will all be DJ-ing hard starting at ten before Body Language hits it. Tickets $2 and can be purchased in advance by e-mailing miltix@gmail.com. Get them fast - they will sell out.
Deastro- i’m in loving awe.
I first discovered Deastro when I was up late one night last year watching Adult Swim (probably watching King of the Hill or Aqua Teen) and the song, “Light Powered” had come on briefly, which is one of the more known songs. The real artist’s name is Randolph Chabot, and he started making music when he was 13! He formed an electro band called Veleciraptor, which inspired the ideas for his current synthesized projects: Our Brother The Megazord (not quite sure the origin of this name) and Deastro, which try to blur the lines between electronic and acoustic music. The song that I wanted to post above is called “Spritle,” but it was too long :(. So the one I did post is called “Toxic Crusaders.” Wait until the very end, because it sounds awesome. My other favorite song is called “Michael the Lone Archer.” All of his genius songs make me feel like the world is inherently good, and his electronic melodies are so optimistically child-sounding. You will only know what I’m talking about once you listen…so do it, man! A lot of his songs can be listened to here.
Album Cover for Moondagger
Cool remix of Alice in Wonderland— this guy has taken only sounds and images from the movie to create a pretty dancey montage. There’s more on youtube, including an awesome mix of Sword and the Stone. Imagine this projected on the wall of a euro disco…
Enthusiasm Is Contagious
I don’t know if anyone has heard of this electronic group called Bassnectar, but they are pretty awesome. My brother introduced them to me this weekend after he went to one of their gigs in New York City. If you’re a fan of Steve Aoki or DJ Tiesto, you’ll probably enjoy Bassnectar. Based in San Francisco mainly consisting of Lorin Ashton (plus other collaborators), this music is…well, fierce. In other words, it’ll probably get you motivated to do something. Furthermore, there are intense peaks in most of his songs. I personally like doing my calculus homework to it, while my brother likes studying for his CFA test to it. Anywho, he came out with a new album this year called Cozza Frenzy, and it is delectable. Some of the artists he worked with were Fever Ray (kind of like Bjork) and CatesdpL.
He looks like this:
“Bassnectar is a reflection of that opportunity to give back; the motion of my cells bouncing back at the world.” - Lorin Ashton

Check it Out: Miike Snow
I first discovered Miike Snow in January. There was no information regarding the group, except this picture, two singles, and a series of amazing remixes by respected artists like the Crookers, Treasure Fingers, DJ Mehdi, and Benny Blanco.
Since then, Miike Snow has become less mysterious but even more entertaining and enjoyable. Recently, the group put out a clever, danceable remix of Vampire Weekend’s “The Kids Don’t Stand a Chance”. Make sure to stay on the look out for a full album in the near future.
Earlier this week, the band released 2 new singles : Silvia and Song for No-One. check them out on the band’s Myspace site.
