A Case of the Mondays




Sir Real is on his way up to Evanston, Illinois today, so I'm here to ensure you don't miss out on your daily dose of Bright & Shiny. This'll be short, but very sweet.

First up, I have some Crystal Castles. Though i'm a fan, I'll admit they produce some weird-ass music, but that certainly doesn't mean its not incredible. Here's one of my favorites.
Crystal Castles - Pap Smear


I had completely forgotten about this until it popped up on my shuffle recently. Unfortunately, I don't know much about Volta Cab, but this is a jaaam. Synth madness.
Volta Cab - Clarissa


Dada Life is definitely known for putting some of the heaviest, hardest, electro bangers out there, so hearing this was a nice little game changer.
Dada Life - We Meow You Roar (Original Mix)


Glorious synths again. Muffin is a master of them, as he proves with this remix.
Housse de Racket - Pacific Sunset (Muffin Remix)


This one is a fucking find. Ambient, old school chicago house sounds. Dig it.
Motor City Drum Ensemble - Raw Cuts #6

Throwback Thursday: Part 1


Patrick here, bringing you my own rendition of Throwback Thursday. This is part one of a three part series. The following songs are all keystones of my music collection. They were there at the beginning of my infatuation with electronic music and they all heavily contributed to cementing my love of all things electro. Get your 5 star songs here.

This song is just a must have. No intro, just listen.

Not a big fan of the original song but one listen to this and you'll see why it belongs in this post.

The Twelves have been a source of inspiration for me for years. Guest appearance by Lil Wayne.

The Crystal Castles are simply amazing. This song was my anthem for about 3 months.

Danger! Look everyone it's Danger!

A wee bit repetitive, but simply stunning none the less. Woo DatA.


BONUS:

The gayest thing you ever enjoyed: (favorite part starts around 2:30)



Love, Patrick
