MORE SELF-PROMOTION!

Cause I'm a crazy motherfucker. I feel like once my finals are done with, I'm going to be bored. And when I'm bored, I like writing. So, I'm probably going to be writing a lot of new track reviews on random shit, albums, stuff I come across that I like, old stuff, new stuff, stuff that doesn't exist... we'll see. But until then... listen to this!

Annie - Anthonio [Designer Drugs Remix]

Who doesn't love a good club banger? Brought to the table by Annie and warped and cut until it's become a song that will tear your ears and your heart to shreds, the Designer Drugs remix of "Anthonio" will have you listening intently to this epic dancefloor track with sheer delight. The best remix that Designer Drugs have ever put out in my humble opinion, "Anthonio" shines with hazy, coke-addled synths of the 1980s' with a nasty syncopated bassline and painful vocals echoing of lost love. Sway to the melody as you wish or lose your shit and stomp around electro-thrash style, this song, no matter which way you do it, will get you dancing and grooving harder than you can even imagine. Yes, it might be relatively old, but great music is timeless and I can assure you that with "Anthonio," Designer Drugs have made some great music.

Album Review: Blakroc - Blakroc

by David W.

“Slide out your clothes and baby take off your shoes/that coochie got me so confused that I don’t know what to do.” Sounds like a lyric from a Lil’ Jon song, doesn’t it? Usually if those were the first words off an album, it would have me running in the other direction but The Black Keys’ rap/rock album has me coming back for more. I usually like hip-hop, but I LOVE hip-hop that can musically hold it's own against any recent rock album. You won’t find any flat overused synth drums here: every snare beat and cymbal crash has the slick style I’ve come to expect from The Black Keys' drummer Patrick Carney. It’s a start-studded album too, with tracks from Mos Def, Ludacris, Raekwon and Rza, and even a track from beyond the grave by ODB. It’s a Jay-Z track shy from hitting all of white people’s favorite rappers. At times it can be a little dumb, (like on Coochie when ODB describes a girl as having “a body kinda like a horse, if you know what I mean” She has big thighs? A big dick? Jockeys like to ride her? People make jokes about her long face? Sorry ODB, but I guess you’re gonna have to explain that one) but Pharoahe Monch said it best: Fuck the white ones, The Black Keys got so much soul.

Significant Sounds [Album Highlights]

1. Coochie
It may be brain dead, but that's half the fun. Just don't play it around a girl you like.
2. Why Can't I Forget Him
Nicole Ray lends her heartache to this classic tale of love lost. Dark and moody, somehow even the xylophone (Vibraphone? Who knows...) is depressed.
3. What You Do To Me
The song that packs the most punch on the album, it's the best fusion of The Black Keys' blues rock and classic hip-hop.

Richie Beretta - Zombie Prom Night

Humans have always been fascinated with the idea of zombies. The reanimated dead have been rising in popularity ever since the 1960s' when George A. Romero took it upon himself to create some of the greatest zombie films of all time. Hearken back to nowadays and we've got films and books popping up everywhere like "28 Days Later" or "World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War." Hell, zombies have mindlessly marched their way into the musical scene too, what with songs such as Designer Drugs' single "ZOMBIES!" Here to bring you more of the flesh-hungry undead with his new single "Zombie Prom Night" is Richie Beretta, an up-and-coming New York City electro/indie producer. This song is dominating my ears right now and with good reason: full of infectious melodies and loads of that "NYC Goes Hard" energy, there's nothing else I want to do but dance when I hear it. "Feel-good" doesn't begin to describe this song, and I can't help but grin widely whenever that drop hits; it's almost too fun, too enjoyable. Beretta borrows the use of an acoustic guitar to create a short break in the music and it takes you away from his world full of filtered builds and ravey stabs, only to bring you back within a moment's notice and hit you with a tsunami of overdriven, crackling synth-pop. With the release of this unusual, yet super fun, club banger, I'm all too excited to hear what's to come from Beretta in the future, hopefully in the same vein.

Here's the description of the song by Richie Beretta himself.

"If Zombies had the privilege of going to High School this would be their Prom theme song. Imagine if you will: It is 1997 and Stanley the quiet polite zombie is asking Daisy the hot popular zombie to the prom. And Daisy, that scornful bitch, she declines because she’s going to the prom with Lumbar Jones the quarter back of the football team, the Howard Beach Brain Eaters.

Fastforward to Prom night, and our hero, Stanely, is alone at the table in his aqaumarine tuxedo his mother bought for him at a second hand store. He sees Daisy disappear from the dancefloor with Lumbar Jones out into the parking lot and his heart sinks. Meanwhile in the parking lot Lumbar Jones is being a bit too forceful with Daisy – and Daisy tries to explain to Lumbar that even though she shakes her ass on the dancefloor like a huge zombie whore and wears overly revealing clothes to Home Ec. that she’s waiting for marriage to have sex. Lumbar Jones says “come on baby it’s prom” Just then Daisy realizes that Lumbar is only interested in her rad Zombie bod and that she passed up the man of her dreams, sweet sweet Stanley. Just then she rushes back into Russo’s on the Zombie Bay and shouts “Stanely!” Stanley looks up in disbelief as Daisy rushes over and says “wanna get outta here?” They hop in the limo and go to Sound Factory for the after prom party and eat a bunch of humans."

HOW BADLY DO I WANT TO SEE A MUSIC VIDEO FOR THIS!?

La Roux - In For the Kill [Skream's Let's Get Ravey Remix]

DUBSTEP SONG OF THE YEAR

I'm sitting here bumping this song at full volume with the bass knob of my sub-woofer turned to 11. There is absolutely no other way to play it. The intensity of the song can only be translated in this way, otherwise the feeling is lost. This song is easily one of the best (if not the best) dubstep songs of 2009 and it'll probably be one of the most powerful dubstep songs I'll hear within the next year even. Skream's Let's Get Ravey Remix doesn't try to impress you with explosive 1/12th or 1/16th wobbles in your face every second. Instead, he lets the bass ride under La Roux's painfully soothing vocals, and drive the song forward without even really letting its presence be known. There aren't that many words I can use to describe this song because it's a song that really just needs to be heard. Fuck, I don't even want to imagine what hearing this live is like.

SebastiAn - Threnody

Due to it having made quite the ruckus across the world wide web, I feel compelled to hop on the bandwagon and share with you all the new track by French electro-thrasher / Ed Banger label boy SebastiAn. The song, known as "Threnody," has incited anger, joy, and a whole lot of confusion from listeners everywhere as it clocks in at a solid 13 minutes. The part that confuses most, however, is the fact that 11 of those minutes are comprised of harsh, semi-melodic noise, all too disjunct and kinda completely fuckin' crazy. The 11 minutes give way to a solid 2 minutes of headbanging, floor-stomping, dirty-as-hell electro, the Parisian's usual antics. I don't think anyone knows what SebastiAn had in mind as to the reception he thought he would receive, but if his aim was shock and awe the general public, I would certainly say it was a job well done. And really, those last 2 minutes are exemplary of why I'm so excited for SebastiAn's album to drop this year on Ed Banger. Threnody as a whole might not be the most sensible testament to that, but no one can really deny... the man knows electro like the back of his hand. Check it out if you're in the mood for something crazy. OR, if you're in the mood for something that makes a little more sense, check out the Capt and Cooked Edit. A little slice of French electro that we're more used to.
