When I was out in L.A. over the holidays my buddy Charlie and I sat down and listened to John Digweed's 2001 Global Underground: Los Angeles mix. I was floored with how incredible it was. I stumbled across this video below which features two tracks from the incredible DJ set. It's a lesson in listening. Truly hot music.
There is speculation that the recent string of teaser clips are for the release of Christina Aguilera's new album. It has also been assumed it could be Goldfrapp? Or possibly Little Boots? I'm still sooooooo not sure who it is but I'm quite intrigued. Watch the latest teaser below. See the past ones HERE.
The following track, a lil' gem called Time Stood Still, is one that I adore. The song was written for the 2000 flop film The Next Best Thingstarring Madgeand her good ol' pal (at that time!)Rupert Everett. The movie was not so great. This song, however, is sublime. TheWilliam Orbitproduced track is so lovely and supremely shows off her vocals. I need another Madonnaballad - now!
The tribute to Michael on Sunday's 52nd Grammy's featured one of my favorite Michael Jackson tracks called Earth Song. No more of my words need to preface this - Michael's song performed by some of pop music's best is enough. Enjoy.
I'm delayed in posting this but it's worth the wait. I'm not as big of a fan of this collaboration as I was when Gaga featured Beyonce on her track but girl, this is a visual fiesta. Goodness! Work it out!
In 1997, an electro classic, Smack my bitch up, was released by the group The Prodigy. The song is instantly recognizable. The track consisted of 4 unique samples amazingly twisted, contorted and blended in to one hugely rich beat. What may have seemed like an effortless jam was the mastermind of some very talented artists. Watch how the track evolved in to such goodness.
Oh Madge. Why ya gotta do this to me? Ya got me while I was vulnerable & spending more money than I should. I was out doing some holiday shopping and they had this track booming in the store. It sounded REAL GOOD. I realize I never really gave this track a proper listen. This mix hooked me in hard. You'll see. It's Hot. Listen.
Christmas has never sound so...angry? Happy? I'm so not sure. One of my favorite bands from back in the day get a holiday twist. The results are...well, just listen.
