My Satellite

My Satellite is a indie electronic solo project based out of Los Angeles consisting of multi-instrumentalist, Bryan Stage. His music often covers a vast array of emotions ranging from deepened sadness to triumphant states of success. Within the last year My Satellite has released a 4 song EP titled Telescopes That truly embodies that which is listed above. Each song is a differing experience filled with airy reverbed vocals and many different instruments creating a layered wall of sound that is unlike any upcoming artist that I have heard. There is an effortless sense of mortality within the lyrics, all too real to truly describe within text without losing their meaning all together. One must just listen to the emotion within the music to truly appreciate it. Each of the 4 songs on Telescopes are very different and yet seem to flow with one another throughout the 18 minute experience.

My Satellite plans to release 2 more EP’s within the following year and a half to complete the series and soon after to release an album encompassing all elements of the said EP’s into one cohesive piece of art. For now keep your eyes and ears pealed for the release of the upcoming EP’s and also buy the previously released EP, Telescopes on iTunes or Amazon!

If you’re not one to buy EP’s or music in general please visit My Satellite’s Webpage, Myspace, or Last FM pages for current tracks. Also stay posted on My Satellite’s updates on his Twitter!

As for now, here is a taste of what My Satellite’s Telescopes has to offer with two of his tracks from the EP. Remember to check out his webpages and keep your ear to the streets. This guy is going places. enjoY!

My Satellite – A Nighttime Daydream

My Satellite – Dearest Autumn

Jai Paul

Another dreamy summer vibe hit. Jai Paul is an England native who’s voice sounds like a wall of sound mixed with a drum machine. Paul’s electronic hip hop drum kit and vocoded vocal style emphasizes his differing sound than what we are normally accustom to hearing out of the UK. His Hot Chip-esque joint, BTSTU, is turning into a big hit across the pond so we might as well jump on the boat too. Listen for yourself and enjoY!

Jai Paul – BTSTU

High Contrast

Normally I don’t blog about DJ’s or Remixers but High Contrast has captured my attention. Perhaps he will too with his awesome edits and electronic drives. Check it. By far one of the BEST remixes to date.

Adele – Hometown Glory (High Contrast Remix)

The XX

Alright, after a long break from not posting, I am back in action with some NEW NEW music for y’all. Sorry about the wait and stay posted for a lot more new music. Anyways, to the good stuff – The XX has dropped there self-titled album and boy is it worth a listen. The vocals are what drew me in to begin with and the instrumentals finished the job. Many bands have intro tracks but nothing compares to The XX’s Intro. It sets the precedent for the album and songs to follow. Give it a listen, it’s worth your time.

The XX – Intro

The XX – Islands

La Roux

Alright Alright, I am jumping on this gravy train. La Roux has it going on, from her looks to her vox. It’s absolutely ridiculous that I refused to listen to her before today. Something I seriously regret. There is something about when people start remixing the shit out of an artist that just turns me off, but damn I have learned my lesson. Anyways, let the music speak for itself and rub in my stupidity. EnjoY!

La Roux – Bulletproof

La Roux – Armour Love

Remixxx

Here is a pretty sick remix of one of my favorite songs by M83. enjoY.

M83 – We Own The Sky (Udachi Remix)

LMFAO

The duo out of L.A. is definitely having fun with their music, with tracks titled I’m in Miami Bitch and Lil’ Hipster Girl it’s hard to not think of Saturday Night Live and Andy Samberg and JT’s pop duo but I assure you LMFAO is here to stay. With their new album titled Party Rock out this last Monday there is no doubt that the album title says it all. This is straight fun dance music. At times it can be funny, and other times it can be ruthless but non the less all awesome. With heavy electronic instrumentals this music is easily remixed and you will most likely find more remix’s and club mixes of their songs floating on the interweb than you will their original mixes. LMFAO is necessary to any individual that is on the new wave hip-hop movement and enjoys a bit of forward thinking sound and clever quips.

LMFAO – Lil’ Hipster Girl

LMFAO – What Happens At The Party

LMFAO – La La La (Terror Dactel Remix)

Noose

A long lost track from RATATAT for your listening pleasure. This track never made it to an album debut but non the less it is a sick joint. The quality is amazing for being a live performance. Check it.

Listen: RATATAT- Noose

Iglu & Hartly

This Echo Park based band just outside of Hollywood has a lot to offer the music world. Their new wave style both blends alternative riffs with electric keys and hip-hop feel. Although not all of their songs have the same makeup as their hit, Violent and Young, Iglu and Hartly still have something interesting on their hands. Their new pop style is one to be reckoned with and can be seen on their album titled & Then Boom. With one UK tour under their belt and awaiting a world tour in mid July, the band returns home for a September reunion in Seattle, which will be sure to please all locals. Check them out and support them by purchasing their LP titled & Then Boom on iTunes.

E-603

Coming to you from New Hampshire is master mixer and masher, Ethan Ward aka E-603. Known for his mash-up sounds resembling Girl Talk and A-Trak, E-603 is quickly making his name on the DJ scene. It’s hard to go wrong with mashes such as Modest Mouse and Lil’ Troy’s Wanna Be A Balla, so rest assured you will be impressed. Put this joint on at a party and watch the mayhem begin. His new album, Torn Up, is available for free download on his site.
