Vibrasphere - Tierra Azul (Nordlight Remix)
Sensational and mind numbing. Stunning soundscape complemented by a perfect image.

Kyoto Jazz Massive - Endless Flight

Kyoto Jazz Massive - Endless Flight (DJ Kawasaki Remix)
Groovy and cosy all at once. Jazz craze hits me like a train. But heck, I'm loving it.

Passion Pit - Little Secrets (Letting Up Despite Great Faults Remix)

Vitalic - Second Lives (The Bloody Beetroots Remix)
Second Lives gets the Bloody treatment. It's gonna send everyone on the floor into a mad tizzy.

Little Dragon - Scribbled Paper (Floating Points Remix)

SXSW 2010 is starting tomorrow, 17 March. It'll last till Sunday. Two Singaporean musicians will be there performing, Inch Chua at The Ghost Room at 10pm on Thursday while The Pinholes play at BD Riley's at 9pm on Friday. Let's hope they do Singapore proud by dishing out their best stuff!



Do Make Say Think - Chinatown
Beautiful. Stunning. Let the ambient sounds seep into every crevice of your soul; searching for it's resting place. Serenity defined in 5:30.

Javelin - Oh! Centra (mp3)
Cutesy voice with 8-bit beats reminiscent of 90s DOS games.

Letting Up Despite Great Faults - Our Younger Noise
Warm hazy shoegaze. I can't really catch the lyrics, but who cares, this is music!

The Pass - Colors
Catchy riffs with very intriguing lyrics about falling hard and fast in love.

the loop line takes you round and through

Hercules & Love Affair - Blind
This song is making me go insane. The more I listen to it, the deeper it gets entrenched in this far-reaching and murky crevice of my brain. The song is drawing my entire consciousness into that small entity residing in that very unknown crevice, much like a black hole. The pulsing beat and especially the horn section would start going off in my head for no reason, it's so bloody infectious. Lush and full-bodied, it's almost like restrained insanity, I'm awash with different feelings all at the same time (epiphany doesn't feel like the right word, somehow.) The song is going to consume me.

Letting Up Despite Great Faults - In Steps
I love this. Hazy guitars again, dream-popish, vocals that are almost smothered by said guitars. Warm and fuzzy feeling that's making me feel all good.

Discovery - Osaka Loop Line
I'm being overrun, overwhelmed, overdosed with synths tonight. Not that it's a bad thing. The synths here almost sound like the background sounds in this MS-DOS game I used to play, can't remember the game name though. Hmms, is it tetris? DAMN IT. Hate this feeling of not being able to remember stuff.
