Brother
This is just too bad. Today we tried to feature Matt Corby‘s ‘Brother’, one of the best songs we’ve heard in a while. This morning the file was downloadable (Uncompressed WAV-file), but not embeddable. This evening, it’s exactly the other way around. So although this isn’t downloadable, here it is anyway. The original version of ‘Brother’. Will update if the download link comes back up. If you like Matt Corby, he is giving away more fantastic music if you subscribe to his website.
Fair Warning (Oliver Remix)
It’s been exactly one human pregnancy ago since Oliver uploaded their remix on Penguin Prison’s ‘Fair Warning’. And the production sounds like it was made roughly 40 pregnancies ago. (you do the math.) But it’s hardly longer than a one-night-stand ago that Oliver actually unlocked the download link on that remix. So posting it now:
I Couldn’t Reach You
By now I think all of you are pretty familiar with the “Facebook-like-to-dowload-my-track’ concept. Artists attach much value to a large following on their social media pages. So if you follow them, some of them like to give a free track in return. A pretty cool concept, and it has been around for a while now. Rosie And Me sorta do the same thing. Except they take it one step further. It’s more like a ‘Facebook-like-to-download-our-entire-friggin-album‘ type of deal. And it’s a recent album too, titled ‘Arrow Of My Ways’.
Now about the album, I think it’s best not to listen to music with an idea of how it actually ‘should’ sound. (Raised expectations by a previous EP or album.) But this album isn’t the same as their debut ‘Bird and Whale’ EP. It’s much more Country influenced, and somehow it doesn’t have as much energy and playfulness as their first EP. Rosie (Rosanne Machado) has a fragile voice and she sings beautiful fragile songs. ‘Arrow Of My Ways’ is good, different, and sadder than I expected. But to be honest, Lana Del Rey still has the sad-market pretty much covered right now.
English Roses
On to London based singer/songwriter David Lyre. He has quite a few free tracks up on Soundcloud. So if you enjoy this track below, do go and check out his Soundcloud profile. This particular track is titled ‘English Roses’ and was uploaded last week.
Brother
This is already a few months old but we found it through a Lancelot remix that was posted a few days ago. The track is titled ‘Brother’, written and performed by Sydney’s Matt Corby. (Who at times sounds like the Australian version of James Vincent Mcmorrow.) Be sure to check his other tracks on Soundcloud too, you won’t regret. Unfortunately we’re not able to embad the original version from Soundcloud, but the Lancelot remix is about just as awesome.
Lost In You (DarkElixer Remix)
We know DarkElixer mostly by his rougher dubstep productions. He’s a UK producer from Manchester generating quite a lot of plays on his music through blogs, forums and quite a following on his social media pages. One of his latest remixes, ‘Lost In You’, departs from the usual rowdy stuff and focuses more on vocals and chords. It’s a remix on Dusky & Janai, who launched a remix contest on their track in October last year.
Maps
The Home Recordings is a solo project by Simsbury (CT) based Mark Sheary. He’s an American Air Force employee who records some really good folk music in his free time. His latest recording is a good example of what he’s capable of. It’s titled ‘Maps’.
Ice Black
Baobinga and Guido are two Bristol based producers who joined forces on this track ‘Ice Black’. Hip-hop paced track that has that future bass music kind of thing to it. And a great track for longer radio mixes.
For those who still don’t know it yet: We really like Soundcloud. So we congratulate them, as they’ve reached the milestone of having 10 million Soundcloud users this week. It’s founders, Eric Wahlforss and Alexander Ljung, have put up a little thank you note right here. On with today’s sounds..
Toys
After a lot of remixes (Katy Perry, The Magician, and Mark Ronson, just to name a few..), Plastic Plates posts an original track today. It’s called ‘Toys’. Very solid, pretty sure this will end up on half the world’s disco mixtapes.
Impress You
November last year saw the release of ‘There’s No Such Place‘, an album by Dutch electronic/funk band Bastian. They’ve put some tracks up on Soundcloud for free downloads to promote the album. And their page is really worth checking out. One of those tracks on there is titled ‘Impress You’. Does what is says it does.
I Like It Like That (Vanguard Remix)
Vanguard is a producer from Carfiff, UK. We know him for his heavily eighties influenced electropop. Which is exactly how to describe his latest remix on Hot Chelle Rae’s ‘I Like It Like That’. Big synths and snares from the eighties. Remix comes with an awesome surprise at the end of the production.
Like This
TCTS is Sam O’Neill, a producer from Manchester, UK. TCTS stand for ‘The Clock, The Storm‘, which is the name of his band and also one of the first bands we ever wrote about. Under the shortened moniker TCTS, O’Neill produces IDM and over the years his productions have definitely grown a lot. In the past few months he’s been experimenting with that House/Garage/BassMusic-kind-of-sound that came up in 2011. This is his latest track, titled ‘Like This’.
Ohio (Monsieur Adi Remix)
Monsieur Adi just went extra Pro on his Soundcloud account. Pro as in: bought some extra room to store his tracks. Which means all of his remixes are up online. The download link on his most recent remix of Justice’s ‘Ohio’ isn’t active on Soundcloud yet but Disco Demons have the exclusive download link, so you can get it over there. For all of Adi’s remixes, visit his remix set on Soundcloud.
