Polarsets - Morning

Here is another band that I have been listening to a lot lately. Polarsets are quite amazing, and I really can't wait to see them when they come over to the US. I see a very bright future for these UK lads.

Cary Ann Hearst-Hells Bells (Midnight Surfer Remix)

Here is a new remix I did of the very talented artist by the name of Cary Ann Hearst
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cary-Ann-Hearst-is-a-person/77400921843
I first heard Cary Ann through Filter Magazine and I really liked her voice, but then I got to see her play live, and she blew me away. She is truly a gift, and I was lucky enough to get a stems from her management, as I wanted to play this tune in my DJ sets, however for some reason Country Twang doesn't work well with Disco/House. So her is my Trip Hopish take on this amazing tune. Enjoy and be sure to check out her EP, as it is beyond great.

The Bees - Winter Rose (Tim Goldsworthy Remix)

I have been a fan of Tim Goldsworthy for some time now, and a even bigger fan of his remixes after parting ways with NYC, and venturing back to his home land in United Kingdom. Being one of the main dudes behind DFA Records, Tim found a sound that makes any track take on a new character, and allows tracks like this one, to become dance floor worthy.

This track by the Bees is amazing, which utilizes the great vocals as they bounce over a mellow synth hook. But my favorite part of this track, is the drums as there seems to be two patterns fighting with each other, and gives the song new life and a different sound. I don’t know if this is really the case, but whatever Tim is doing, he is going a great Job.

Kim Ann Foxman - Creature video

I have been a fan of Kim Ann for a very long time now. I had the honor to DJ with her and Andy Butler of Hercules and Love Affair a while back, and she was not only very nice, but had great record selections and skills to match. I was very bummed to hear she parted ways with Andy and HLA, but glad to hear she is on her new journey creating great jams like this one. This is a great song and video that showcases Kim Ann's powerful voice as well as her keen artistic eye that is seen through this video.

I have also heard tons of great remixes of this song on sound cloud and can't wait to get my hand on the vinyl when it shows it's face.

Midnight Surfer-Phono/Aux

Here is a new track I did. Have a listen. E-mail me for the download link. Sweet.

Canyons - My Rescue (Dr. Dunks Disco Extension)

There is something about a good piano riff over any sort of house beat. We even discussed this in my keys class last night, as we were disecting House of House's tune Walking these Streets, and there use of the F minor scale throughout the song. It adds this magical sound scape that give the bass and kick depth, while allowing the song to have character and a sense of being.

Another perfect example is how Dr. Dunks, aka Eric Duncan, uses his keys to add another demension to this already powerful song. Have a listen and a download thanks to our friends over a RCRDLBL.

The Glass - Four Floor Letter (Black Van Mix)

I love when a group that I have forgotten about, blasts back with a stellar remix that reminds you why you liked them in the first place. Black Van is one such group that I really dug about a year ago, but since then nothing has caught my eye till this remix of the Glass's tune Four Floor Letter. With a heavy four on the floor drum beat, this remix uses a mixture of synth tones, over a deep analog bass sound that takes you on a groovy trip. What makes me a fan of Black Van, is there use of tones, and the way they approach each song. None of them are over the top electro bangers, that are a dime a dozen nowadays, but a well placed sonic groove that allows you ride along at your own pace. They have a since of groove that seems lost in today's over the top electro music, but also makes it refreshing when you do come across a group such as Black Van. I highly suggesting picking up their songs over at DFA records.

Faze Action - I Wanna Dancer (The Revenge Remix)

Every now and then, an artist comes along that is really special, and you can tell that they are becoming a powerful force within the music world. The Revenge is one such artist, that ever sense landed on my radar, has pumped out dozen upon dozen stellar remixes and original tracks ranging from disco remakes to hip hop fun like his Q-Tip remix. Besides his amazing production work, he is also a gifted DJ, that has bumped him high on the "Want to Hear" dj list.

On this remix, he takes UK disco powerhouse, Faze Action's tune, I wanna Dancer, and shapes it into his own. With haunting vocals, over a very natural, almost atmospheric sounding drum beat, with a great synth line that pulsates throughout this tune. It is not another over the top electro bangers that has become overly prevalent in our music work, but a solid tune that also anyone who is listen to escape into their own little world.

This is worth a listen and buy. Go have a listen on his soundcloud page here.

New Track-Midnight Surfer-Realistic Decline

Hey Everybody.

Been super busy creating some new tracks, and finishing up a few remixes, so I have been ignoring Mysty Mornings until I had something new to share. Here is a new track I did last week when I was exploring some new techniques and a new synth called Circle. I highly suggest anyone who looking for a new sound, check out Circle by FAW, http://www.futureaudioworkshop.com/circle/. Not too expensive, and allows you to easily create any sound you are looking for. But beware, you will loose many hours just searching through their massive sound bank of pre set sounds. I am really pumped on this new addition, and i am barely even scratching the surface of what it can do.

Midnight Surfer-Realistic Decline by Midnight Surfer

I have a bunch of new tracks I want to share this week so be on the look out as well.

Take Care.

12th Planet & Juakalai-Reason (Doctor P remix) Video

Sometimes I need a video to remind me of why I love downtown LA, and in this 12th Planet, aka LA Dub Step GOD, takes me there. If you are into that Dubstep, no better place to look than 12th Planet. His skills as a DJ and Producer are tops in the game, and a huge career in the making.

Warpaint-Elephants

Great video by my new obession, Warpaint. Wish I would have known about them before they got big. It would have been nice to see them on a small venue.

Cary Ann Hearst-The Thread Video

There are few artists that can inspire me as much as Cary Ann does. I don't if it is her addicting personality, or her intoxicating voice, but everytime I hear her belt out a tune, I want to grab my guitar and strum some tunes. Here is her new video for the Thread. Such a great song, and amazing video to match.

Findlay Brown-Promised Land (Villa Remix)

I never knew who Findlay Brown was until The Stallions did a amazing number of one of his tunes last year, which caught my eye and lead me over to hear what he is all about. Well I found out a few things when I did. One being I wasn’t a fan of his music but then again, I could see why many remixers were taking cracks at remixing his works, as he has a great set of pipes on him that is becoming harder and harder to find. As a struggling producer, I know how important vocals are in making your track reach that next level, so anyone with ear, would jump for joy to work with Findlay Brown’s vocals. I know I would as I think one of the hardest things as a producer is finding solid partners who have vocals to match your tunes. I know I am lucky to finally find a vocalist who has the pipes to take a song to that next level.

Here we see the duo of Villa remix the track Promised Land, which takes this track on a new ride while hinting at the disco undertones that put Villa on the map with their first releases. They use such perfect tones in this remix that accompany his voice so well, while still crafting a joyous dance tune. However, this track is not a dance floor burner, that many blogs and people overly obsess about, but just jam to play on a warm summer day, or a cold winter night that will leave you wanting more of Findlay’s amazing vocals.

Electric Umbilical Cord-Red of Deception Video

As the electricity pulsates through NYC, Electric Umbilical Cord is there to collect it's power and harness it into the musical soundscapes that makes EUC one of NYC's most promising acts. With the Prey EP gearing up for release this November, EUC releases a new video for the track Red of Deception, which showcases their hunting vocals, over snappy snares, uplifting synth lines, and a driven bass line, that reminds me a lot of great sound that came out of UK in the late 70's and early 80's, yet hints at their own unique sound that will carry them a long way. What stands out the most with EUC work, is their use of space within all of their songs, and well crafted synth sounds, that all find there place nicely in the mix.




This video is a fine taster of what is to come from EUC. Be on the look out for their new EP, the Prey, out via Bandcamp and many other outlets.

Also, they host a Bi-Monthy night at White Noise in NYC. So get your dance on and have some East Coast fun, so check their Facebook page for updates.

Foals Cover Swedish House Mafia's One

I am not a huge fan over covers, as I would rather listen to the real thing. I always feel the band covering always leaves out essessial elements that make their cover less than par. However, when I heard the Foals cover of Swedish House Mafia's One my mouth dropped, and again was reassured that Foals will save the face of music. Well, maybe not the face of music, but since I first seen them at the Troubador a few years back, they have become one of my favorite bands, and I can't wait for them to come back to LA. This cover, takes the #1 club hit this summer to new heights, while still hinting at the sonic undertones that made it the #1 song it was. I am still on the hunt for the download, as I have a feeling we will be seeing a proper release of this in the near future, as so far, the only one I have heard was a recording from a live show, which makes this cover even better. Cheers.
