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.26


It's been a while since and End Of Weekend Tunes (Now just EOWT) so this one is packed full of music. First song is some new Toro from his upcoming LP, after that I broke down the post by genre in a way. Ducktails is the side project of Real Estate guitarist Matthew Mondanile which oozes cassette style dream rock as you can tell from the song 'Art Vandelay'. Next up is my absolute favourite song right now from another side project, this time from Andy Hull of Manchester Orchestra. The entire concept for this side project is absolutely innovative, telling the story of a 17th century sailor who catches his wife cheating on him with his brother. One of the albums i'm anticipating the most is the debut one from Gypsy and The Cat which comes out this Friday, 'Bloom' is their first single that is upbeat and awesome. Next up continuing with the diversity of got two hip hop songs, one from Main Attrakionz and the other from A.Dd+ (who spits over a sample of Toxic by Britney Spears). I've also tossed in some dreamy tracks from John Talabot and Tropics (Kelpe on the remix duties), enjoy...

I have a streak going of including tunes from Bondax's Just Us Records (Karma Kid this week) and Perseus' French Express Records (Diles Mavis this week) and i don't think this streak is going to end with the tunes coming from these guys, enjoy..
