EOWT Vol.31

Got some pretty exciting new music for this weeks EOWT, first up is a brand new tune from up and coming London band Beaty Heart who sound like an awesome tribal crossbreed of Animal Collective and Vampire Weekend. First three tunes are all awesome, Summer Occasion kills it again by making You Da One into a bumping future garage tune. Also new music from my some of my favourite dudes, Flume and Star Slinger. Flume will be in Toronto April 6th so I suggest you all snag tickets. 

Wake - Reid

Lady (Sango & Lakim Edit) - Dwele

You Da One (Summer Occasion Remix) - Rihanna

Left Alone - Flume & Chet Faker

Treat Me Like Fire (Star Slinger Bootleg Mix) - Lion Babe

EOWT Vol.30 // Toro Y Moi at Lee's Palace

This post is going to be mostly a EOWT with a bit of a review of the Toro Y Moi/Wild Belle show in Toronto on Sunday. First off I'll start with the EOWT bit with a groovy Tropical Disco beat remix of Rhye's Open by Jeff Samuel, those drums are absolutely killer. With fresh new James Blake that I feel many of you may have heard I've come with a bootleg from Vlsson who turns Retrograde into a future hip hop vibe. Continuing on the theme of big artist releases I've also got a remix of the new Justin Timberlake song 'Suit and Tie' from Julio Bashmore who turns the track into an organ key disco tune made for the dance-floor. This has to be one of my more upbeat posts so before I throw in a more downtempo song I'll leave you with two awesome remixes more recently from Star Slinger for Bondax and another one from Teen Daze for Said the Whale. The final song of EOWT is an old favourite of mine from T.O artist Foxes in Fiction who creates tunes that are utterly mesmerizing for lack of a better term. 

Retrograde (Vlsson Bootwork) - James Blake

Suit and Tie (Julio Bashmore Remix) - Justin Timberlake

Gold (Star Slinger Remix) - Bondax

Holly, Ontario (Teen Daze Remix) - Said The Whale

15 Ativan (Song For Erika) - Foxes in Fiction

Now for Pt.2 of this post is a little review of the Toro Y Moi/Wild Belle show and some of my favourite tracks from the concert. First of all I want to say both acts absolutely killed it, Wild Belle opened up playing some tracks off of their forthcoming album, Natalie Bergman being a goddess as usual. Toro planned his set out just about perfectly closing right before the encore with the banger off of his new album 'Say That' and closing out the show with the classic 'Low Shoulder'. I haven't really talked too much about Toro's new album but so far (and I know it's premature) I can see it being one of the top albums of 2013. 

Keep You - Wild Belle

Rose Quartz - Toro Y Moi

Low Shoulder - Toro Y Moi

I Can Get Love - Toro Y Moi

So Many Details - Toro Y Moi

U.K Garage/Post-Dubstep

Alot of my favourite music these days is coming out of the bursting U.K Post Dubstep/Garage Scene. My first experience with the genre was through Jamie xx (producer/bandmember of the xx), it was mainly after I saw him live over the summer that I gained even more respect for the genre and looked more into it (check out this sweet mini doc on Jamie). This genre is spilling over into mainstream music as we see Jamie getting the producing credits for Drake and Rihanna's new song 'Take Care' sampling Jamie's remix of "I'll Take Care of U" by Gil Scott Heron 

Other producers like SBTRKT have brought to attention everyone from Drake to Little Dragon (both who have done collaborations with SBTRKT). Three other producers who I've slated for having big years in 2012 are Fantastic Mr.Fox, Starslinger, and Deadboy (so keep an eye out for 'em). 


Far Nearer - Jamie xx


Right Thing to Do ft.Jessie Ware - SBTRKT


May I Walk With You? - Starslinger


Over - Fantastic Mr.Fox


Halycon (Deadboy Remix) - Delphic
