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. 












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.

EOWT Vol.29



This week's post is a bit of a mix of new tunes I've been digging and older songs that I haven't been able to stop listening to for the past few weeks. First up is a brand new Teen Daze Remix of Max Cooper & Braids and it's amazingly hypnotic with the vocal sample plus the chimes. Next two songs after that are two that have been on absolute repeat for me lately and are both essential for a laid back end to the weekend with Work Drugs bringing the tropical feels and Radio Dept. bringing the stylish use of cowbell. Two brand spankin' new songs from some of my favourite artists, The Royal Concept and Gold Panda. First up the Swede Indie Rocker's who are constantly being compared to Phoenix somewhat break free of those chains in their new single adding more of an electronic almost nu disco sound that is shown in "World On Fire". It's been a long time since I've heard new Gold Panda and it never disappoints, he always manages to combine somewhat of an acoustic feel to downtempo electronica. Cruiser is another artist that I suggest you keep your eye on, it's the solo indie pop project of Philadelphia native Andy States and it is awesome feel good music. The last song is a very Gold Pandaesque tune from Houses that will put you straight to sleep (In a very good way), enjoy..
