so, this cd was slippped to me by a friend yesterday. some three israeli indie / reggae girls -mc karolina, dana adini and yael deckelbaum make up -habanot nechama (hebrew: consolation).
minimalist arrangements of no more then acoustic guitars and warm lucious drums bring this album to life and make up a record of layed back summery thats hard to resist.
this song called - ever. a completely random choice as choosing which one to post was quiet difficult.
will 'quantic' holland has been building up a reputation as a prolific musician, writer, remixer and producer since his first release on -tru thoughts in January 2001. in that time he has released six albums for the label under -quantic, -the limp twins and -the quantic soul orchestra monikers. through this period he has been hugely in demand as a remixer from artists and labels (both major and upcoming) and has amassed a huge discography of 'one offs, Remixes and B sides' which is what this EP is about, featuring 5 tracks from a forthcoming double album and 2 exclusive vinyl tracks.

banzai repubic is the project of torsten bo jacobsen, a danish producer, jon anderson and adam seitzmayer.
as banzai republic they had several releases on the super chillout "music for dreams" label, mentioned here...
the song i have for you, appeared on the the exclusive "balearic biscuits" label....it is called "remember me"...and the thing about it is, that it´s a re-edit of an annie lennox interpretation of "fields of gold", by sting...
hmm...worth checking out??....i think so:
banzai republic - remember me
welsh songstress -jem's debut release is a combination of bright melodies, soul-searching lyrics and diverse rhythms that grab you from the first listen. her seemingly innocent lyrics contain those closely observed details that are as much about optimism as they are about discovery.
jem's simplistically alluring vocals stringing along subtle electronic percussion, ear-catching samples, and melodic loops built from traditional instruments.
Following song called -save me and its one of my favourites from this great album from '04.
...and get to know gino soccio, a french canadian artist/producer, known for his disco/eurodisco productions in the late 70s/early 80s...
this song is "closer", titletrack to soccio´s album from ´81 on atlantic records.
"closer" is pretty different to his other work...rather slow, relaxed and calmed...actually not disco at all...
at least in th common sense of it...
check it out: gino soccio - closer
well after giuliodj posted this crazy remix i had no chance but to put some raw zero7 material up..its so smooth... . -henry binns and sam hardaker definetely one of my favorite crews of the past years.
after they gained recognition with their first album -simple things which featured vocals from the incredible -sia furler; you might remember songs like -in the waiting line and -destiny which have helped numerous commercial, tv shows ect to to get attention.
in any way, i have picked a song from their latest release -the garden from '06 and extremely mellow album. its worth listening to all of their records!
...with joe walsh...who was the guitar player of "the eagles" before starting a solo carreer...
the song i post here is taken from his third soloalbum "so what", from 1975
here is joe walsh - country fair
enjoy!!
check this thievery corporation mix of nouvelle vagues' -this is not a love song. there is really not much for me to add, as songs from both artists where already posted on this blog.
what can you do - if an artist you like mixes a song that you love then the result is much greater than the sum of all single parts..
listen it.. it might make your day.
so, i am back. after having a hard disk breakdown i have managed to recover some of my music and also found some new material to post.
As a start i wanted to post this song by -mr. hill aka todd gumke a dj/producer out of seattle. his latest release from past february brings some crazy instrumental tracks but each one with its own little edge.
definitely worth listening in. - check it out.
...here is a song by the eagles...the inredibly succesful rock band of the 70s...with millions and millions of record sales...
...and everybody knows their superhit "hotel california"...
anyway...here is a song from their last studio album "the long run"
from 1979...an album that was number one in the us-charts for weeks...
so here is the eagles - those shoes...
enjoy!!!
...here is a mix i did yesterday...
one hour of balearic sounds...slo-mo disco...electro and some rock
i hope you enjoy it...
giuliodj - july07mix

sandy nelson - quite a beat
just about 2 minutes long....enjoy
this is some music i got of giuliodj's computer almost a a year ago.
I can tell you - as you have probably found out for yourself already, this guy has a crazy taste in music - but respect that.
however, they are generally classified as an indie rock group,- the band of bees' style of music is influenced by a colourful range of 60's rock,country, raggea and jazz. the Bees have so far released three albums:2002's mercury puzzle, -sunshine hit me(which was acclaimed by critics for being recorded in frontman Paul Butler's own garden shed), its '04 major label follow-up -free the bees, and the band's most recent work,-octupus from '07.
well, coming from nouvelle vagues' coming home compilation released very recently, i've decided to post this song by -piero umiliani called -bambole.
like many of his italian colleagues at the time, piero umiliani composed the scores for many exploitation films in the '60ies and '70ies. although not as widely regarded as, for example, -ennio morricone or -riz ortolani, he helped form the style of the typical European '60s/'70s jazz soundtrack that has recently been experiencing a revival through films like -kill bill and -oceans's twlevev (..shit movie by the way).
there is one more track i of whateverwewant records that i want to post here...again of "quiet village"...
its "cant be beat" from weww02 from 2005. its another slowmotionpychodelicjazzrocksoundtrack kinda track...with pitched-down vocals...another one of my favourites
quiet village - cant be beat
check it out
here is another great production/remix duo releasing on "whateverwewant" records: QUIET VILLAGE, consisting of matt edwards aka radioslave aka rekid and joel martin aka dj zeus.
quiet villages´characteristic style of slowmotionbalearicdarkdiscorocksoundtrack that involves a lot of very smart sampling has made their records very much sought after. records have been sold on ebay for $100 and more!!
so be happy with an mp3...or two.
first track is "too high to move" from whateverwewant006
enjoy!!
actuallty i just stumbled upon this band on a new music blog called -debaser. from the little i could find out about them, the embassy - a relatively new swedish band consisting of tristan cooke, mertyn nooy, relased this album called -tracking in '05.
check them out, -time's tight is a subttle song with very catchy guitar elements - classy indie rock with swedish accents.
hit the link and listen
this is one of their recent remixes for "zero 7" from 2006.
here eric and thomas present a rather conservative, or maybe more "mass market" compatible remix. (major label...)
anyway...its some damn good work!!
enjoy: zero 7 - futures (rub n tug remix)
