I'm considering my last post as a Soulwax post, even if it was originally a DJ Shadow track. Although, DJ Shadow is amazing enough to write multiple posts in a row, solely about him.
Today's track comes from DJ Shadow's first full-length album, Endtroducing. In it's entirety, in my opinion, the album is perfect. It's won numerous awards for various reasons, the coolest of which is from Guinness World Records. What's the award for you ask?
"First Completely Sampled Album"
Yeah. Completely sampled. Amazing. He used this machine. This man is a genius. This track was used in a short skate video a while back on a Salomon promo dvd. I'll try and dig this up, and post it later.
Amazing!
http://www.zshare.net/audio/1127740682f2c916/A classic track by the ever-amazing DJ Shadow, remixed by the genius minds of Soulwax. Find a copy of this album. Play it constantly. Fall in love with it.
It's from the 2 cd set Most of the Remixes. The first disc is a whole whack of their remixes in unmixed format. The second is another bunch of their remixes mixed into a full set. So great!
It's only tuesdaaaaaaaay...

It seems that whenever Sunday rolls around, I have an intense desire to chill out to some really rad tunes. Sometimes jazz, sometimes hip-hop, usually both at the same time.
Case in point, this track from the ever-wickedly-cool group Saint Germain (aka Ludovic Navarre). The album it's originally on is Tourist, gathered with a whole pack of other great nu-jazz tracks.
Some of you hate nu-jazz, I know it. Deal with it for once, grab yourself a cool adult beverage, get in your favorite chair, and enjoy.
Leave your stress for Monday through Friday.

Gorillaz. One of my all-time favorite groups. They recently put out their latest album D-Sides, which I personally feel (as a long-time fan) is one of the best things they've ever done. This album features a handful of Gorillaz favorites, most from Demon Days, remixed by various people, such as the Stanton Warriors, DFA, and Soulwax.
One of my most favorite Gorillaz tracks is "Dirty Harry" off of Demon Days. A down-tempo hip-hop groove, with the topping of neat synth sounds and a children's choir, makes for a fantastic song. On the D-Sides record, there is the "Schtung Chinese New Year Remix" of this already great track. It's not so much a remix of the track as it is a reworking of the instrumentation, trading synths and hip-hop drum kits for far-east-sounding strings and taiko style percussion. Even the language of the lyrics has changed from English to (I think) Japanese (correct me if I'm wrong, please).
I lurve it, check it out.

shhhhhhhhh
Portishead's new album Third is scheduled for release on the 29th of this month. They're playing tonight at Coachella. (Lucky you, Anna...) Some tracks have been leaked online, and "Machine Gun" is one of them. It's percussive, haunting, and quite fantastic.
There's even a video for this track up on YouTube... at over 22,000 views, it's not the most secret of songs, but it's a good'er.
Peace!

Yup! As the title says, it's a 30 minute live mix by The Bloody Beetroots. The tracklisting is:
- Timbaland - Miscommunication (The Bloody Beetroots Remix)
- The Bloody Beetroots feat. Congorock - Bluto Fucks Popeye
- Audioporno - Choo Choo (Bloody Beetroots Remix)
- The Toxic Avenger - Escape (Bloody Beetroots Remix)
- Goose - Everybody (The Bloody Beetroots Remix)
- Goose - Black Gloves (The Bloody Beetroots Remix)

I've been diggin' The Bloody Beetroots' sound for a while now; Sometimes it's bouncy and synthy, other times it's really rock and guitar driven! Those Italians sure know how to rock a floor!
I could dance to this mix all night long. Enjoy!
Hello, interweb.
This blog is going to be the place where I, Bellinger, will introduce you to the finest and most interesting music I come across each day.
I'm constantly scouring all sorts of different blogs for new, interesting, and great quality music. This music is most often electronic, but I have lately been finding a lot of neat 'other' music. I've finally decided to stop being a snobby dick, and begin sharing some of the best of these tracks with you!
I plan on having at least 3 updates per week, each supplying at least one link to a great tune.
I truly hope that your ears are all ready. Please believe the hype.
