Palette One

Découverte, Musique Par: hellothisiskyle No Comments »

It’s almost been two years since I released Carded & DisCarded. Although that is a very long time period, I do feel that it’s safe to say both my style of DJing and taste in music have developed since then. I don’t mean to discredit Carded & DisCarded at all, by any means, but over this time I have had the chance to explore new concepts and styles of mixing that I discovered to be more beneficial when incorporated into my DJ sets. With these changes occurring over he past two years, I’ve come up with an idea that has finally taken form – I’m happy to announce my new bimonthly mix series; Palette.

The concept behind the series is that for the next 6 months, I will hand pick and craft a mix for your listening pleasure. I decided to kick off the Palette series with a program of songs that all mean a lot to me. Not to mention, I also decided to throw in a few of my favorite transitions that I’ve enjoyed playing live at most of my shows over the past couple of months. I may not be able to promise that you’ll enjoy every mix in the series, but I can promise that I’ll work hard to make it interesting for you all.

I really hope you all enjoy this months mix and look forward to Palette Two in early April!

Let’s just get back to good tunes. Old or new.

Breakbot – Penelope Pitstop (old + inspired by OCD Automatic)
Chromeo – Night by Night (Siriusmo Remix) (I saw Chromeo this weekend. Incredibly fun show)
Delphic – This Momentary (Radioproof Remix) (sounds like a tight video game, kind of)
Dmitry Fyodorov – Coconut Office (dark, minimal, tech-house. Beautiful)
Feist – Sea Lion (Chromeo Remix) (old + inspired by Kid Color)
Heritage Orchestra + DJ Yoda – Concerto for Turntables (Radioproof X (II) Remix) (buy this now)
LCD Soundsystem – Time To Get Away (Gucci Soundsystem Remix) (old + inspired by Kid Color)

The Wooden Sky + Schuba’s

Découverte, Musique Par: Beats™ No Comments »

The Wooden Sky remind me of a less poppy, and possibly more talented, version of The Fray. The band is comprised of four dudes out of Canada with a penchant for truly wholesome music, the brand of music that I think the “industry” is lacking these days. From start to finish their newest album, If I Don’t Come Home You’ll Be Gone, is a perfectly balanced blend of on-point vocals atop hearty guitars, pianos and strings. Pretty much everything one would look for when digging into the “chillacious indie” realm.

In coordination with this album’s tour, the guys are also doing a pretty cool thing that they’re calling “A Documentary in Pieces” (directed by Scott Cudmore). You can catch the first to bits here and here. I would have embedded said Vimeo bits in this post, but I absolutely love the feel of that promo shot. Damn.

Anyway, as far as tonight’s show goes, I’d say that it’s going to be a pretty chill, yet immensely musically titillating. If it weren’t for my bro’s Kid Color and OCD Automatic playing at Relax Lounge, you’d definitely be finding me at Schuba’s.
