Song of the Day #21: Deserter
At the 2003 Detroit Electronic Music Festival I was standing next to Matthew Dear (techno mastermind behind the Ghostly International techno label) watching Derrick May play to a crowd of 10,000 people. Just a day earlier I had seen him (Matthew Dear) knock out the most memorable performance of that years DEMF at an afterparty in an opera house with a giant chandelier. One of the most innovative "techno" producers in the world.
Matthew Dear - Deserter
Song of the Day #20: Pasilda
One of the biggest house tracks to come out in the early 2000's. I vividly remember hearing this for the first time on New Years 2000-2001 in the main room of The Edge in SE Washington DC. The Eastcoast Boogiemen dropped it while they were playing the headline set on four turntables. Of all the memories I have in clubs during those years, this was one of the most memorable.
Afro Medusa - Pasilda
Song of the Day #19: Old Man
My favorite Neil Young song by a long shot. I made a dubstep remix of this song a few years ago and never did anything with it. I think I'll go back to that now.
Neil Young - Old Man
Song of the Day #17: C’mon Wit Da Git Down
90's hip hop. Nothing like it.
Artifacts - C'mon Wit Da Git Down
Song of the Day #16: Space
This week I've been listening to the new M.I.A. album titled Maya. I was pleasantly surprised to see my favorite track on the album, Space, appear at the outro of this week's episode of Entourage. The least you can say about Entourage is that it has always been on the musical cutting edge (I remember hearing Kanye's Good Life on Entourage before the album dropped, years ago).
This track was produced by Rusko.
M.I.A. - Space
Song of the Day #15: Only You
I woke up at 7:30am this morning to go to work (I work in an office two days a week) and walked around in the rain for 40 minutes looking for a taxi which was a fruitless effort. After getting mostly soaked I stop into a coffee shop and wait for the rain to stop. An hour later, it hasn't stopped and I'm still here. Damn you, rain.
Portishead - Only You
