Sweet Mixes

Here are a couple mixes I've been digging recently whilst recovering from wisdom teeth removal; forgive me if my prose is not that great or clear. The first is City Lights Vol 3 a progressive tech house mix by Kaiser Souzai has seemed to be a hit amongst friends and acquaintances. Its got some really bumpin tracks laid in with chilled-out sounds as well.

Dada Life May Mix!!!

Yaaay! Dada Life sent over a brand-new super-fresh mix for y'all (and me too, of course). It's really quite good, technically well-mixed and a great song selection (I like the Zombies! rmx alot). As it is straight from the lion's mouth:

"We didn't have to do a mix for april - too much dj:ing and working in the studio. (Keep your eyes open for a new Alex Gopher-remix as well as a new Malente-remix soon!) Now bring your friends and enemies. Buy a box of bananas and some bottles of champagne. You will need it to really appreciate the fine bouquet of our new May Mix. We're real connoisseurs you know. Yes! The May Mix is full of exclusive stuff. Dip your tongue into an exclusive tune from our upcoming album Just Do The Dada. And sniff the fine oak aroma of the Mr Oizo Remix of Tiga's Shoes."

Here it is: Dada Life - May 2009 Mix

Also check out the video to "Happy Hands & Happy Feet" - the first single from their new album:



Enjoy!

Expediency is not a principle virtue

But seriously folks, 'the advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving' as some dude once said. Although it is wise to remember that there aren't really any rich psychologists or scientists or sociologists or whatever...these people study what they do because they love it, because learning is an end in itself for them and not for some mere material gain. Education has a tricky place in the means-ends dichotomy, but I feel that 'classical' education (the usual academic fare, not business/management or learning a trade) is most honorably approached as an end...and I feel really bad for those who have a 'corrupted' view of education (as per Aristotle's account of the corruption of moneymakers, who confuse money as an end instead of the means it is).
But once again I'm ranting so here're some sweet tech-house and prog tracks with a little electro thrown in at the end:

The Deejay's An Alien - David Harness & Roland Clark This one's got some pretty funny lyrics

Frühlingserwachen - Audionatica / Claude Staffieri Heavy-hitting for prog, not bad at all

Since You Are Gone - Oliver Koletzki A nice and chill synth adventure

If You Knew (Feed Me Remix) - Chris Lake feat. Nastala Kinda clubby but definitely better than the original, and the editing is genius

Supply & Demand (d.i.m. Rmx Dub) - Fischerspooner Electro, and damn good at that...a nice change from the crap in this genre that's out there these days. D.I.M. has won back some acclaim after that nightmare at Metropolis for Neon's 10th anniversary

These are all great tracks, some are a bit old I know but they're definitely worth having.

Enjoy

Finally!

Hey, yea I know we haven't posted any songs in a while...but there were good reasons! Finals and papers and moving oh my! In any case University is done (with only a measly bachelor of philosophy to show for it) and we're off to a very uncertain future. But that's the appeal, at least for me...more school at this point would just be both boring a waste of youth.
Aaanyway I'm sure you didn't come here to hear some kinda BS I like to spout from time to time, so here are my latest musical picks. I've moved away from just electro recently to embrace tech, tech house, prog and techno a little more so expect the same AMAZING quality tunes from Noirceur-sur-la-Lys but now with more genres!

Sleep On - Stimming

The Beauty - Stimming

From the tech-house/minimal genius of the Diynamic label, Stimming's album Reflections is worth every penny. This genre and label has been the focus of my new musical tastes, but that doesn't mean that the harder and clubbier stuff lacks a place in my heart...as the following tracks demonstrate.

Apocalypse (Sebastien Leger Remix) - Arno Cost & Norman Doray

Use Your Arms - Dapayk & Padberg

Korobiki (club mix) - Sebo Reed The Tetris song! In tha club!

Partouze (Jean Elan remix) - Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso So what if it has a modicum of cheesiness?

Solo (Tepr remix) - Chew Lips Of course we need a little Kitsuné to round things out...but honestly I'm surprised they're still around.

Enjoy, more to come
