For all of you Deadmau5’s fans like me, this is some interesting news!
There was some discussion on Deadmau5’s facebook about a hardcore fan being disappointed that Deadmau5 copied a song from DJ Tiesto compilation album in 1999, Clockwork Orange. He was aware that Deadmau5 remixed the song but the claim said to be that the title should have been called “Clockwork Orange (Deadmau5 Remix)”. So what did Deadmau5 do about this? Here’s the story…
“the Orange Theme, was a remix by Cygnus X… which was good n great and all… it’s basicly an adaptation of the re-occuring theme in Stanley Kubriks “Clockwork Orange” … which is *really* just a modified - updated synthy take on Henry Purcell’s music for the funeral of Queen Mary…”
So it’s 6:08pm currently and we’re waiting anxiously to see what kind of lineup Bonnaroo will bring this year. We hope its good! Well, it’s usually good but we’ll see.
The question is, who do YOU want to see at Bonnaroo?
Jay-Z's "On to the next one" off Blueprint 3 sample's Justice
I was looking around the music new’s and this came up strikingly interesting. I read on Hipster Runoff’s ALT Report tumblr and Carles just posted a link saying Jay-Z’s track sampled Justice. I didn’t know what to expect but I had to see. Here’s the story…
Q-Tip and Pharrel had a phone talk with Swizz Beats and pretty much told him about Justice and getting on this stuff. He knew the sound but didn’t get around to knowing it was them with the track “D.A.N.C.E.” Swizz Beat says that this sample is the “least complicated one that would be easily be able to fit into the system.” So what did he do then?
Pretty much he tweaked the words “under the spotlight” by Justice to “on to the next one” looping it for the chorus for Jay-Z. To be honest with you, not a bad song but the sampling get’s really repetitive
We got to chat with the lead singer Nick Krill of The Spinto Band and talk about the history of the band, chronic town, new album in the works, to squirrel hunting. Very cool chat. Hopefully they’ll come back around to Penn State again. Check the interview out below!
I typically don’t watch mtvU much but on a rare occasion, I’ll flip through the channels and find something interesting. I turned on the tv and noticed something very familiar. I was like “This isn’t bad…Wait, I know this instrumental. It’s Futurecop! Theophilus London was a recent find on mtvU that sampled the song “NASA” from the group Futurecop. He’s a NYC based electronic and hip-hop rapper. It’s surprising to see that he sampled this and it’s pretty sweet because I liked the song NASA to begin with. There’s no need for comparison with other hip-hop artist’s around. Not going to lie, his material is good.

Baltimore: city of high crime and some mad as a hatter musicians. Future Islands ain’t no renegade in this regard, not to say that they add to the crime rate (maybe), but they definitely help give the Baltimore music scene the reputation that it has. Future Islands is inhabited by the likes of Samuel Herring (Vocals), William Cashion (Bass), and J. Gerrit Welmers (Synth), all meeting at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. After their release of Little Advances in 2006 they moved up to good ole’ B-More where they sunk right in with the rambunctious crowd at Wham City, helmed by the maniacal wizard, himself, Dan Deacon. Most recently, Future Islands released an LP, Wave Like Home, however there’s been a leak in the music pipeline! In Evening Air, poised to be released in April, has broken out of its cage.
In Evening Air, their second full-length, certainly builds on to their repute. The sounds is that same foot-tapping, head-nodding, body-high inducing groove that they’ve always produced. Herring’s whiskey-steeped, gritty vocals brings a nice contrast to the smooth, hovering sweeps of synth (see: “An Apology”). In Evening Air is a bit more eclectic than their freshman release, Little Advances. “Vireo’s Eye”, for instance, is pretty progressive in form, it trickles in slowly, but by the end you’re waist deep in a pretty sick baseline and bouncing synth. Even with the very first track, “Walking Through That Door”, as soon as that beat passes through your ears your body is pretty much required to move along with it; you really don’t have a choice.
This album is drenched with a lot of emotion and quite elegantly crafted, though subtly speaking. It’s not to say that it’s over the top or too refined, there’s just a lot more meat on the bone.
