#122 We Could Go Forever

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

#116 Sun will rise

Finally, a time and inspiration for a new post... life has been a carousel of exciting events and experiences lately which I guess changed me a tiny bit...in a better direction. There are some of the songs I found recently, so feel more than free to abuse the replay button.

Of Monsters and Men - Little talks

Pinback - Good to sea

Bonobo feat. Speech Debelle - Sun will rise

#114 The library music

Scrolling through the last posts it is quite obvious I haven't been very active in posting for a while. It's not because there is not good music to be shared... I guess I really felt quite idea-less (wtf, is there such word?). Anyhow, a friend of mine just put some good words about it so I kind of felt the call for hitting the CTRL+V a couple of times tonight. So, thank you mi amigo =)

Despite of being extremely awful live, Angels and Airwaves still have kick-ass song ..such as Start the Machine.

Let's throw in the post some good library music - Ratatat - Gettyburg and The Banana Sessions - Bananas (well thats very creative..)

#102 Eurosonic Noorderslag

Ok, I had to drop everything and start writing that post, cause a super awesome coincidence just ..occurred.

So, I was just browsing random videos as a background to my reading in the extremely boring library and I came across Vondelpark - HipBone. So, after listening to the song like 5 times, I decided to abandon reading about the global and industrial diversification of companies, and check their profile on last.fm...and apparently they are part of the Eurosonic festival, which is happening in the city where I live. I've been thinking to write a short post about some bands playing there and finding out that those guys are part of the festival was ..well, cool coincidence. So check them out along with other artists playing here this weekend.

Vondelpark - HipBone

Phuture Shock - Don't Let Go *FYI: amazing Bulgarian band*

Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Pictures

Madeon - Pup Culture

2:54 - Scarlet

Great Mountain Fire - Late lights 

James Vincent McMorrow - Early in the morning

...and many, many more. More than 250 artists are performing - from dubstep to hip hop to..acoustic rock. Those who have tickets are lucky bas.... people! For the rest of us - there's always youtube.

#93 Ghosts /downtempo, chillout/

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 :)

Lusine - Two dots

Stateless - Bloodstream

Ladytron - Ghosts

the fall of today
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

George Katsiris - 1er Cru


Blackfish - Bay of Islands

Yoshinori Sunahara - Love beat (World of Apples remix)

#35 Heaven /various/

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.
Unkle - Heaven

Third eye blind - Slow motion

Dynamodyse - Paname 

yeah I know the songs are quite random. Care "off" ;) enjoy!

#34 Marakesh /downtempo/

No, this place isn't dead. I also like to believe that music isn't dead too...but as they say - maybe we just forgot how it fucking sounded like. So..it has been a while, there are also reasons for that, but I will not bore the shit out of you or myself explaining them. Besides, I should get back to my ISM articles. And trust me - they DO know how to bore the shit out of someone.

What actually I want to say is that I was pleasantly surprised to see that the blog keeps getting views, despite i didn't post for such a long period. Maybe that was the reason I bailed on the articles. Anyway - enjoy some downtempo/electronic music!

I set my eyes on Parov Stelar a while ago, cuz they gonna play in Bulgaria... but I just heard them some days ago. It is the THING!

Parov Stelar - Chambermaid Swing & Parov Stelar - some track (which is awesome)

Another band which I had for a long time but never paid much attention to, until someone posted on facebook - Peace Orchestra - Marakesh

And for dinner something from the good old Thievery Corporation - Heaven's gonna burn your eyes

#11 Transmission /chillout. downtempo, electronic/

Oh crap, I tried to write that post last night, but either I bored myself to death...or I just was extremely tired. I think we can all agree on the second one! Anyway, I know its Friday so by that time tomorrow most of you/us will be shitfaced and hangover, so I decided to give you some good music for the next morning, when you anxiously curse yourself for drinking more than you should.

Bonobo - I would definitely categorize him as downtempo, he's just an amazing artist, that can get you through anyway. I cannot be able to choose only song and you would also not be sorry if you check of them:

Bonobo - pick up
Bonobo - Transmission 94 /this track is maybe my favourite one/
Bonobo - Recurring
Bonobo - Days to come
Bonobo - If you stayed over
edit 1 - also Bonobo - The Plug (quantic mix)


Okay, next in my mind was a song by a band called Nightmares on wax. So far I will limit myself in one song, because I never found enough time to listen to them thoroughly, but...they do seem quite promising!

Nightmares on wax - You wish


And for the grand finale something quite popular - Thievery Corporation - Lebanese Blonde. I won't go into details, I think I might include them a bit later in other posts, but you can always check their other stuff,

Okay, that's it - see you around Monday, you kids have fun this weekend! I really wanted to put a smiley here, but it just.. doesn't look normal.
