The New Music: January, wk 4

The past week I have been jiving to some really retro tunes in preparation for a local 90s event this coming 30th. Being in the mood I thought I should freshen up the old retro playlist. Scavenging the world wide web for new tunes, I found a really cool twist on Ace of Base's classic 90s song "All That She Wants."

Next is a classy mix of ZZZ by the Bag Raiders. It has become one of my new favourites to toss on during some homework or even just to kill some silent air. The piano in the song really accompanies the mix well. I think its a gem, which isn't bad being only a few weeks into '09.

An added bonus:

Earlier this month, we showcased The Twelves remix to Groove Armada's "Drop The Tough" released by Bacardi B-Live Share (see post for details). B-Live Share has released the Van She rendition of "Drop The Tough," and although it may not be The Twelves remix, it still offers a unique vibe to a stellar track.

The New Music: January, wk. 3

2009 is still early. As new styles and trends will no doubt change and modify the scene over the course of the next year, this section will showcase some of the new weekly favourites that emerge. Already a little behind being in week 3, here are a few new tracks that made an impact over the last week.

Bacardi B-Live Share is a new platform for downloading and sharing music. The platform launches on January 20th including the new release of some brand new remixes from Groove Armada. A release of The Twelves remix to "Drop The Tough" has already been leaked. Based on this track the remaining songs set to be released look very promising. As well, Van She is rumoured to have made contributions to the project.

sqzmlmns (pronounced 'squeeze my lemons') is a brand new duo hailing from Mexico, emerging from the music scene of San Diego where they should continue to get noticed. I could ramble about how much I enjoy this new track Oakland from saul q and kid wonder but it should do the talking for me. Check their MySpace page for more songs and info.
