An Earful of Soft Dance



It's raining outside and I'm eating Andes. And this music is perfect.

All kind of old stuff, but it's nice to revisit.

Danger-- Revolte at 22H10
Heads we Dance-- The Human Touch [Sidechains remix]
Countdown-- Jupiter One [Designer Drugs remix]

An Earful of Dubbity Dub

I've been diggin the grime lately. I just made this huge, weirdass transition from hella chill indie to filthy dub. I'm not sure why, but my ears can't get enough. I tried listening to some Neon Indian the other day....it didn't go down too well.



FLUX PAVILION. Damn son, this shit's amazing. It's kinda like some kind of new-wave dub. Not too hard, but very experimental. The sounds are soo fuggin weird and at times sound like bowels but idk, i guess my ears like that shit now...

An Earful of Stimulation




School is back and badder than ever. I have to keep myself listenin to chillll tunes in order to refrain from punching myself in the face with my Physics textbook.

Today I'm giving a shout-out to Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Bibio, and Animal Collective for keeping my sanity in check.

Here's to you:



such a beautiful music video to compliment the song...

An Earful of Diplo


Diplo was in SG last night! Hollllaaa. He's the hottest muhfucka I've ever damn seen. I only caught a glimpse of him though; he left relatively early and as I was getting back to the club he was leaving. : [

Buttttt, Diplo hearts DUB. Seriously, the world needs more dub, its wayy under appreciated. So thanks D-lo for makin that happen! This crazy shit was dropped:








DUB LOVE. Ruskoooo

An Earful of Mash

These past few days have been a mish-mash of different genres of music. On Saturday da club was filled with...

Where's my Money [caspa remix]--TC
Drop Down--Designer Drugs
Stickin--SonicC
Blau--Laidback Luke




Today, however, was a completely different experience. The legendary YEAH YEAH YEAHS WERE LIVE IN SINGAPORE. My friend and I managed to nab a pair of tix, but the seats were shit. We somehow managed to sneak through security quite badass-ily and got from our shitty-nosebleed-section-seats down to the main floor right next to the stage. We were MERE METERS AWAY FROM THE GODDESS HERSELF. While playing the finale, which was Maps acoustic, there was a second of silence while she paused for a climactic effect and I screamed out, THEY DONT LOVE YOU LIKE I LOVE YOU! And some other guy was like, YEAH THEY DONT! It was epic. She holla-ed at us!! That sweetheart Karen-O. It basically made my life. Regardless of seat though, her voice is even BETTER live, which really surprised me. Not to mention she wrecks crazy shit on stage with her ridiculously hot moves and hotter costumes. She kept spitting water like it was fiyahhhh. Karen O= SICK.
For the finale, she dropped Maps acoustic which almost made me cry. It was beautiful to say the least. I've never felt that much emotion in a concert before...legit life changing as cheesy as it may sound.

An Earful of Vitalic

Italian Vitalic first came onto my radar when I heard the remix of one of my favorite songs, Ultraviolence by Heartsrevolution. His most recent song, Poison Lips has had me trancing for the past week. Not to mention, the music video is completely sickening [i mean that in the highest of praises] and the azn girls in it are fucking hot [no homo]! This guy really has impeccable soft-dance taste. Vitalic's Second Lives remixed by the Bloody Beetroots is a lethal combination of two big electro personalities which amounts to an eargasm pretty much...yummmy.

An Earful of Genius

Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo [Bloody Beetroots] and Steve Aoki have joined forces to create a group of epic proportions-- they are Rifoki.
Rifoki's concept is far different from the up-beat electro that is often assumed from their household names, but their latest project is a step back to basics. Back to their roots-- an appreciation of hard rock and screamo. I'm a huge fan of Rifoki partly because my own musical progression followed the same path.

Bring me the Horizon, Chiodos, Dance Gavin Dance-- they've always had a place in my heart. Deep down, I'm a screamo-whore. And apparently so are Rifo and Aoki.











"We will never sleep 'cause sleep is for the weak
And we will never rest 'til we're all fucking dead"

Let's keep it hardcore ladies.

An Earful of Good Noise

My New Years resolution has decidedly been to expand my music horizons. This is going to take a lot of commitment though seeing as there are 239829035 genres of music today...and I can't keep up. Sometimes I just can't be fucked to be in the music-know all the time and resort to following Nylon's/Fader's playlists. But I am for sure going to become more knowledgeable in scratching/turntablists. What they do seriously epitomizes the beauty of modern day musical expression.

This is hella old but it still amazes me. Sick turntablists. sicksicksick.

An Earful of Psychadelic



Austin-based NEON INDIAN
Can only be described as a-band-that-wants-to-share-pyscahdelic-acid-trip-experiences-with-you. [See "Should've Taken Acid With You" below. Fave song.] They are obvious wannabe children of the 70's born into the wrong era but makin the most of it. Their album Psychic Chasms is wistful, up-beat, and synth-y. Just the type of stuff i dig.
