GetGoneRemix

Remix tiiiiiiime! Yes, once again I threw away all the hard work I put into making a song, and completely remade the music from scratch. It’s actually a very fun exercise as a producer. Remixing yourself gives you a chance to look at what you’ve made as objectively as possible, and then it provides the opportunity to reinvent yourself or express another side of your creativity. It never ceases to amaze me how different the mood and feel of a song can be, using the same chords and notes, but different sounds and structure. The other thing I love about making a remix, is that I can give it away for free. So press play, then hit download, and if you like what we’re doing, please show some support. Peace, from this here Hooligan. Also, big shout out to Mathieu Bitton for the photography and art direction.

Get Gone

GetGone-Cover

Remember how I’ve been so busy lately? Well this project is one of the main reasons. Less than a year ago, a mutual friend connected me and vocalist Shana Halligan. She swung by my studio, we started talking about the music we love and the records we idolize, and a few hours later we had a full new song almost completed. We’ve been working together ever since, developing our sound, and I’m happy to announce the upcoming release of our first single together- “Get Gone”. There is much more to come, so stay tuned for that. She’s also the voice featured on the latest Thievery Corporation single, and she will be leaving to do an East Coast tour with them starting tomorrow. Catch her if you can, and stay tuned for more good things from “The Hooligans“.

Shout out to VIBE.com for featuring the premier, the single is AVAILABLE NOW along with a remix that pushes the song in a totally different direction. Support is always much appreciated so help spread the word!

Thomas-Prior

Where does the time go?!? Why does it all of a sudden feel like I’m busier than ever before and barely have time to keep feeding this beautiful blog? If this is growing up, then I need to find a cure. In lieu of writing about why this music is great, I’ll let this photo by Thomas Prior speak wonders for me.

The Herald Angel Sings

Angel-MJ

If you’re expecting to hear some MJ today, you can stop here and move on. However, if it’s the sound of tiny sonic victories triumphantly conquering the evils of bad music, then please proceed. We may not all be able to reach the heights of the herald angel with the sequined glove, but that shouldn’t stop us from tapping into our inner moonwalker on a daily basis. Today’s selections, including the glorious visual by David Lachapelle, were curated by my boo, the irreverent DJ Shrimp Scampi. Press play and help put the devil back down in his hole.

Sylvan Esso :       Coffee

MØ :       Say You'll Be There

Jungle :       Busy Earnin'

Lianne La Havas :       Forget

Mat.Joe :       Heart To Find

ODESZA :       Sun Models ft. Madelyn Grant

Atlas Genius :       Back Seat

Max Frost :       White Lies

The Submarines :       1940 (Amp Live Remix)

BEA :       Breadwinner

    I got the Mo album, and I was impressed. Dangerspouse thought it was Lorde, which is never a bad comparison

    I have also just finished listening to the new Kelis album…well worth the wait; her best album yet.

    Stumbled across TJR’s refix of Drake’s ‘Hold On, We’re Going Home on soundcloud. Pure Soulful Sunset House, worth six minutes of anyone’s time!
