Tanlines

Trying to get back on the saddle here. The holiday season was just too busy! Sorry about that folks. It's a new year so hopefully a more solid Musicphileosophy.com too! Anyway, haven't heard anything from Tanlines in forever (then again, I have been waaay out of the loop). The Brooklyn-based duo recently came out with a new track from their up-and-coming album Mixed Emotions that is set to be released on March 20th. Addicting beat, good enough to get me started on a blog post after so long!

Games

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday! The weather situation here in the East Coast only means we're on the brink of switching seasons. I on the other hand would like to combat the feelings brought about by the dreary clouds and rain and maybe put a little "umph" into your Sunday. I thought an upbeat tune and a stunning photo of Giselle is just what you need.

Games is a "synth collaboration" comprised of Daniel Lopatin (Ohneohtrix Point Never) and Joel Ford (Tigercity). This track is an awesome example of how songs should be sampled and looped/chopped.

Here is the original track. Pretty damn groovy.

Back Online!

Web silence is over! I'm sorry for disappearing for 2 months. Life has been all a blur for the past 5 months. But now that I finally got a job offer, things are looking up. I can set aside the many hours of laboring over online applications, emailing employers and cold calling upper management and finally allot time to the things I enjoy! Hopefully I haven't lost that much readers yet!

Chromeo x Mayer Hawthorne

As always, I get giddy when Hawthorne does a cover/collaboration with another artist. Mainly because never fails to add something incredible to the original thing. Andrew Mayer Cohen, you sure know how to make the ladies swoon. Put this on your midnight tempo playlist and you're set!

Sergio Mendes + Stevie Wonder

Mixing it up this week. This is taken from the 2006 album of Sergio Mendes, Timeless. It's a great album comprising of collaborations between Mendes and a few neo-soul and alternative hip hop artists. Berimbau has always been one of my favorite bossanova songs and this version definitely does justice to the original track.
