For No Good Reason

TV-Steadman

Whilrwinded right through my 10-day vacation on the East Coast with non-stop good times accompanied by family and friends. Now I’m back in Lala land feeling a little sick and run-down from the travels, but still basking in the afterglow of fresh Summer memories worth saving. Gonna drop this fresh batch of new tunes on you all and dive back into the work that has piled up while I was away. I’ve got some head nodders, some dancefloor funkiness, and a bit of chilled out smoke cloud material for you today. The artwork above comes from the legendary Ralph Steadman, who I was reminded of by watching this great documentary on him while flying back West.

Kindness :       World Restart ft. Kelela & Ade

Pompeya :       Does &       Night

Chris Brown :       Fine China (B. Bravo Remix)

Ásgier :       King & Cross (Saul Sweet Remix)

Brother In Arms :       Jamaican Gyal

Electric Guest :       Awake

ODESZA :       Say My Name ft. Zyra

Blood Orange :       You're Not Good Enough (Holy Ghost Bootleg)

Titeknots :       All Talk

Nico & Vinz :       Am I Wrong (Deejay Theory Remix)

Taylor McFerrin :       Decisions ft. Emily King &       Georgia

    Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?

Hometown Blues

I’m heading back to the homeland next week- first to rugged and raw New Hampshire where I was born, then to the hustle and bustle of New York City where I cut my teeth on concrete. I’m very much looking forward to dipping in some ponds like the one above (photo cred goes to my brother-by-familia: Tod Stevenson) and jumping into my favorite waterfall. As far as I’m concerned, Summer is far from over. I’ve had little stints of vacation sprinkled throughout the past few months, a couple days here, a few more there… but nothing like a proper Frenchman’s break from work. I’ll be DJ-ing again on the rooftop of the James Hotel with my man DJ Cato (who provided a couple of today’s selections) and our special guest Uproot Andy on Aug 31st for all my NYC peeps. Until then, here’s a fresh batch of good ones to keep you bouncing.

Coucheron :       Deep End ft. Eastside & Mayer Hawthorne

Syd Arthur :       Hometown Blues (Psychemagik Remix)

Tittsworth :       After The Dance ft. Q-Tip

Sam Smith :       Stay With Me (Rainer + Grimm Remix)

TÂCHES :       Paris

SBTRKT :       New Dorp. New York ft. Ezra Koenig

Zeds Dead :       Lost You ft. Twin Shadow & D'Angelo Lacy

Nadastrom :       Fallen Down (Justin Martin Remix)

Disclosure & The Friend Within :       The Mechanism

Para One :       You Too

Grimes :       Go ft. Blood Diamonds

ASTR :       Blue Hawaii

    I reckon you can probably hear the sound of these tunes hitting the spot from where you are. Fantastic selection, as usual. Thanks Chuck

Out Of The Gray And Into Hi-Def

posted by • August 18, 2014 • Leave a comment

I’m very jazzed up about this uber-fresh new music video for my last Captain Planet single “In The Gray” ft. my good friend, the insanely talented chanteuse Brit Laurén. After having a really bad music video experience earlier this Spring, where I spent too much money and time on a video that ended up as a flop, it was extremely reassuring to make this sharp and simple one with a handful of friends on a very limited budget in just a couple days. HUGE shout out to everyone on the team for helping make this happen- Araeia Robinson (director), Adam Tillman-Young (cinematographer), Dominique Dawson (styling), and all my friends for their time and dramatic skills! Also big up to Complex Mag for the awesome feature and write-up.

The single is out and even available on 7″ vinyl, so grab it if you’ve been sleeping…

Say Hello To Van Ike

posted by • August 13, 2014 • Leave a comment

VanIke
Very happy to finally bring this new project of mine to light! Van Ike has been something I’ve been doing on the side with my longtime friend Sam Barsh (who was my first roommate in Brooklyn at age 19). Friends for ages, we’ve basically been leading parallel music careers, and only just started collaborating recently in our spare time (when Sam isn’t in the studio writing songs with Kendrick Lamar, Aloe Blacc & Macy Gray). The sound of Van Ike sprung naturally from our mutual love of Hall & Oates, Dwele, Pharrell, and Mayer Hawthorne. It’s a little bit throwback, a little bit now, and a lot of soul- basically doing what we feel and love. This first offering (which premiered yesterday at OkayPlayer.com) is our tribute to one of this summer’s sexiest tunes- “The Worst” by Jhene Aiko. Consider this just an appetizer, because our debut “Notes To Self” EP will be dropping very soon. FREE DOWNLOAD below, grab it while it’s hot…

Also, for people in LA – we’re doing our first live show TONIGHT at Sadie in Hollywood (I know, I know, sorry for late notice). For those of you in NYC, you can catch us Aug. 31st at the James Hotel in SOHO or Sept. 2nd at The Drink in Williamsburg.

    I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.

Somewhere In The Reverb

Juggling many things at once, I start to feel disoriented and dizzy, anxious, wanting to be bigger and more capable than I am. I’d love to have a supercomputer in my head, with 10 times the problem solving capabilities, and immediate loss-less access to a long history of details. But I forget, and fuck up, and live in a suspended foggy dream state more of the time than I’d like to admit. But what saves me, keeps me sane, brings daily smiles to my face and cracks me up laughing even in my sleep, are the sacred moments of gratitude.

Hard to know whether they come from outside or in, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to surround yourself with sounds you love, colors that tickle you, and tastes that make your mouth water. That bon bon vie, which to you may be as simple a good sandwich. Each of the songs I’m sharing with you today has passed that test for me- scratched an itch and brought me back into the present moment. Made me grateful. I hope it helps you find a bit of grounding too, even with your head in the clouds. Shout out to DJ Shrimp Scampi for a few of today’s selections. Also, visual art today comes courtesy of The Clayton Bros who’s show is up now in Culver City and I want very badly to check it out.

Chet Faker :       1998

Thief :       Cold

Little Dragon :       Killing Me &       Paris

Glass Animals :       Pools

Paolo Nutini :       Let Me Down Easy

SZA :       Sweet November &       Julia

BEA :       Safe Ground

Poliça :       I See My Mother

Jesse Ware :       Tough Love

Nick Hakim :       Cold

Ha-Ha Ha Ha Ha-Hot Music

Summer blazes on, burning through my precious time and leaving a trail of ashes under which my hazy memories dwell. I know I’m doing a lot, but if you ask me tomorrow, I will probably have the hardest time remembering today. Gotta up my ginko biloba intake and start doing memory games or something. One thing I do know, is what I’m feelin’ right now. Today it happens to be a high grade selection of tropical dancefloor bizniz. Hopefully you can pass some of your precious minutes wrapped up in a dutty wine to these goodies while sipping on something nice and cold, even if you should forget all about it tomorrow. Big Shouts to Geko Jones & Cato who hooked me up with a few of these tunes.

Stylo G ft. Sister Nancy :       Badd

Exco Levi :       Save The Music (Deejay Theory Edit)

Andy Rivera ft. Baby Rasta & Gringo :       Si Me Necesitas (Remix)

Farruko ft. Sean Paul :       Passion Wine

Systema Solar :       El Botón Del Pantalón

Sonora :       Cuetes (Bachata Booty Roll Contest)

Daniel Haaksman :       Lemba ft. Coréon Dú

DBANJ :       Oliver Twist

Fuse :       Azonto (Jus Now Remix)

Unknown :       Mi Nina
no idea who this artist is, pretty sure it’s Angolan Semba music. If anyone has info, PLEASE SHARE!

Batida :       Pobre e Rico

DJ Laz :       Esa Morena (Nadastrom & Sabo Love Miami Mix)
