petroniaTried to write fancrap updates but it wasn't going anywhere, so here's some music I should've posted weeks ago. :P
Isolée - Beau Mot Plage (9.3MB)
Isolée - Beau Mot Plage (Freeform Reform Pt. 1 & 2) (14.5MB)
Promised to upload these. By themselves the two versions exemplify the ideology of "minimalism" as well as anything: the Freeform Reform is defined in the negative spaces of the original, which is comprised of the exact amount of sound necessary to schematically represent what isn't there, at least until Freeform Five decided to make the implicit jazzy bongo tropicalia explicit. I still hold that every good microhouse track should be mashup-able with a diva vocal, you just have to find the right one.
Ricardo Villalobos - 808 The Bassqueen (Queen of Bass Mix): sort of a classic. I kept hearing about how "accessible" this track was compared to Villalobos' recent productions, and when I finally got hold of it it proved to be... exactly as accessible as his recent productions. And it's twelve minutes long. WHAT WAS THE COMPLAINT AGAIN.
It is quite melodic. Moody late-night music, I guess? When I'm in a low-energy phase I use minimal techno as ambient (other people might light scented candles). At discreet volumes it makes the placesmell sound like an expensive cocktail lounge, possibly frequented by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
one_if_by_land. (16.8MB)
Jamie Woon - Wayfaring Stranger (Burial Mix): dubstep version of the folk spiritual. Darkly brilliant. (8.7MB)
The Sounds - Tony The Beat (Rex The Dog Remix): this is loud. XD Poppy electro rock with Blondie-inspired girl singer. Swedish in provenance, i.e. be warned of earworm potential. (10.8MB)
Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls (Suicidal)
JoJo - Beautiful Girls
Heard this for the first time yesterday at the Ballroom Bar on St. Laurent, where the MBASA were holding the closing ceremonies for Orientation Week. I'm really behind on radio pop. The JoJo cover is sung from the girl's POV; I like how completely unapologetic it is. XD
It's a beautiful, old-fashioned, perfect summer pop song, for the good reason that it is basically a variation on "Stand By Me".
BONUS VIDEO:
Bob Sinclar - Love Generation
In case any of you footie fans never bothered to search the PMV, which is adorable ♥. (What I need is an mp3 of "World Hold On"; it's gonna be lame if I have to buy it off Beatport, guys.)
