Ok, so I got a few good tracks from the past week, some dub/electro stuff, if I have to label them myself. Anyhow, they are a good solid basis for very chilled and relaxed weekend! The reason for the post is a track by Bonobo which shuffled on my winamp (yeah, I know - its pretty old school) - We Could Go Forever!
Next in the pocket, there's an French DJ introduced to me by a close friend of mine and by my surprised, he has used Bulgarian samples in his track, which personally grabbed me immediately - check it out, the tune is way above decent... Fumuj - Pollie.
Finally (that structure reminds me of one of those TOEFL essays, firstly, secondly ....) I just randomly got this from my youtube section, nevertheless me gusta! Quantic - We got soul
I observe significant lack of ideas for anything different than oh-crap-that-is-boring comment, so lets make our lives a bit more easier and just skip to the chosen songs. I guess it's gonna be this kind of electro/pop post... like if the Smiths had sex with...Daft Punk? I just really like the first song.
Oh well, the daily struggle with all the reading for university and the general lack of sleep totally sucked out all creativity so I really have nothing that worth reading. And I'm also lazy. Like really lazy. I guess it is better to focus on the music tonight. Enjoy :)

I was trying to take a short afternoon nap cuz..I am just completely unproductive in any sense of the word. Well, was an epic fail. But I was listening to this remix of "Twice" and while I was desperately trying to fall asleep that came to my mind "remix my thoughts". Sounds kinda catchy, ye? If I ever have to come up with an album name, that would be it, roflmao.
I don't know what exactly is.."remix my thoughts" but..good to me it sounds. I guess in a way we very often "remix" our thoughts before they actually came out through any of the communication channels available. We often "dress" or change them a bit, put a bit of this, remove a bit of that. They are in a way..remixed. It's just how brain and the basic sense of communication work. Wow, I just totally came up with that right now, but sounds like its coming from a textbook, right. Hah.Whether that "remix" is better than the original.. nobody knows. It is time for some nice remixes..good for studying :)
Okay, the two weeks vacation are boring me a bit. I guess I need more action or ..well whatever - I found more music and I feel like keep posting. These tracks are a bit more electronic.. a bit trip hop/chillout.. they and a home made cocktail are perfect company during my afternoons on the terrace. Oh well, its time to go out. Enjoy.
Okay.. so school year has finished, said good bye to most of my friends and.. it's time for some vacation for me as well - a really cool trip with..well the above mentioned friends. Anyway, I am still preparing some stuff to post every now and then cause..well I like it. I get a good vibe from the following songs, hope goes the same way for you too.
Would be actually cool if I can post from Spain, but lets not get ahead of ourselves..besides some time off the computer should be quite appreciated by my troubled mind. Peace.
Biking in the Netherlands, besides a must can be quite fun, especially when its raining. Ocassionally, being soaked, driving through the deserted city while raining and accompanied with the right soundtrack, is pretty awesome. So, that was my soundtrack tonight.
Just wanted to post some kind of relaxing songs, a bit chill...a bit electronic...a slight trace of dancing element...but not so much, given the fact that its Sunday. Anyway, enjoy the tracks.
It's a... umm gloomy monday morning so I need to load up with some positivism and energy, although my "working" week ends tomorrow. Yeah, lucky me... By the way the music I'm gonna post is really, really, oh my god - really good background for thesis writing!
I try not to repeat myself, meaning that I really try to avoid posting two consequent posts with similar music. Not today. Fuck that, fuck you, fuck me and fuck them.... Do you know the moments when you lose track of what's happening around/with you... and you kinda feel like slowing the motion of time, may just for the sake of enjoying a moment or to get additional time to think through or... just cause you don't feel going ahead. Well, thats one of those moments for me. I got really inspired by the video I'm going to post, I hope you enjoy it.
Today I was lucky enough to get access to a radio show and I met two really cool german DJs going by the name of MannHausen. They liked my idea of promoting uprising artists and shared some of their tracks with me, so I really hope some of you will give their music a shot.
You can hear "Summer Is Over" on their myspace page and one of their sets on soundcloud. (thumbs up for the set!)
For those of you living in/around Groningen - they play live quite often in clubs around the city... so you know where I'm going with this, right?
Hey, its been a while... back to university is definitely reducing my time/desire to post some things around here. Unfortunately. I was THAT close to post some cute melodies for the bright holiday called Saint Valentine's or whatever his name is.. but after 6 hours of work the only thing I wanted to do was puking over the holiday.
So, after my daily 3 sentences related to what I think, which in general isn't that complicated or interesting, we can proceed to the music stuff. The idea of this post is driven mainly because of the spanish band Cycle, which my neighbour Irene showed me a couple of months ago. Well, they kick ass!
Damn it, it's just a minute after 1 and I feel like I just woke up. Being on vacation totally screwed my biological clock [or whatever you people call it]... ok, I just yawned - I yawned! Hooray, might feel sleepy within an hour. But still - plenty of time for a post(s).
Ok, honestly, I'm listening to Infected Mushroom..and I really wanted to make some lsd/ecstrazy reference, but due to my lack of experience with those stuff I will just post the song.
Around 4:32 I really feel like going crazy. Like.. really crazy...
Okay, since they are basically the only band from that...erm...genre (?!) I listen to, for the time being, I'm not sure how to proceed from now on.... ok the "...." was a pause of 10 minutes, but I finally remembered a song that I rly like... actually that song (and the video) kicks Infected Mushroom in the nuts.. should be at the very top! :)
And another song, I think it was in the top 50 I ever downloaded, so I must have it for like..for around 12-13 years? Anyway, I just read somewhere that this is ... apparently an "acid house". Such an useful information!
I should have sticked to the drum n bass :D Anyway, these are some classic tunes for..the average listener I guess, nothing too... weird/kinky, you know? I guess this will never be exactly my cup of tea, but there are some nice tracks out of the many out there.
Since it's the beginning of the blog and the excitement in me grows progressively to a point when it can be easily called pre-over-excitement, I will probably post quite a lot of stuff.
Anyhow, was wondering where to head to after the nice but quite calm post-rock music, so decided to post some eletronic music. I've been listening to that kind of music since I remember myself, but it has never been my "main" genre so I am definitely far from expert, but... there are some really nice tunes out there I came across through the years. By electronica I mean all sorts of genres, cuz just can't be bothered to separate them into tiny categories (and frankly said - don't think I'm competent enough). =)
One of the first drum and bass artists I came across with, was a finnish guy, that goes by the name of Muffler and I think he was the reason I got a bit more interested in that music. Here are some of his works, which personally I think are awesome (*banging head on Muffler - I go*).
Speak of d'n'b and other similar genres, I cannot go without posting the... State of Mind (another awesome band from New Zealand). I've been heavily abused the "play" button in youtube because of the following track, where by the way I think some Bulgarian traditional voices are used.. or maybe I'm just delusional.
I like the number three and besides I should keep some stuff for the future (right..? i want u to come back here again, i guess..) so the lucky number position goes to the Dutch Black Sun Empire (cool name, huh?). I also think they got some dubstep stuff, but... more next time.
