Nightriders

Nightriders are the Boston dance duo; Matt Johnson and Joe Faria, where a chance meeting in 2004 at Boston’s legendary superclub, Avalon, (and many drinks later); formed a solid friendship. They list influences such as Quincy Jones, Brothers Johnson and the modern styles of Daft Punk, Groove Armada, Sebastian Tellier, Jamiroquai, Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, Air, and Royksopp.

This track is drenched in funk. The guitar licks and the synthesizers hypnotize your body unknowingly. I'll definitely make it a point to see these guys when I head up to Boston at the end of this month.

Keep It Comin' - Nightriders

I know that East Coast is just waiting for Hurricane Earl to pass us by so that we can all have a nice Labor Day weekend. This should be enough though to get the weekend started the right way.

I also haven't been on top of my game with posts the past 2 weeks because I've been busy attending to school and some other freelance gigs. Should return to daily posts next week! And the September Mixtape is out this Sunday so check back then.
