Disco-House Revival




























Alright so this whole disco-house music craze is blowing up and I have to admit, I am a huge fan. These tracks have some real power to 'em, enough to get even the most cynical people to groove to the weird nostalgic electronic mess of rhythms.

First up is this Bobby Analog track called Break Addict. The intro is a little abrasive but once the melody drops it's a real headbanger. I can't find much information about this artist other than people dig it he is unsigned.

Second is this track by Rockets called Golden Strings. This track is the real thing, pumping beats underneath a montage of catchy disco melodies. I even like the Cover art, very descriptive of the tunes.

Next is another mp3 link (sorry no albums from these guys yet) from a group called Palermo Disko Machine. This track has a little bit of an extensive intro but gets down to it eventually and is well worth the weight. Apparently Palermo Disko Machine consists of Jens from another band called Digitalism, in case you were interested.

Last but certainly not least is this hour long mixtape from Only Children, one the of the best mixtapes to come out of Chicago in a long time. I didn't catch any of the Chi-town references until GiMiTRi pointed it out, but if you look at the cover art it is filled with them. This mix is simply incredible, an hour of pure grooving that literally only gets better and dirtier as it moves along. A VERY HIGHLY suggested download, I think you can even stream it from the link. Safety.

I don't normally check out blogs that have nothing to do with music, which makes me wonder how the hell I even came across this site. Irreguardless this blog is incredible, it's filled to the brim with riveting stories of sex, drugs, and real life. She writes well, is honest, hilarious, and knows how to get down. ABSOLUTELY worth checking out, just don't look at it when you have to cram for a test all day. words.

Binary - L.A. Lights




























So I found this song Heatwave on Binary Entertainment's blog which I check out pretty regularly, and I ended up listening to it so many damn times I felt compelled to purchase the album off of iTunes (I couldn't even remember my iTunes username it's been so long since I've bought music). The binary blog is pretty dope, they post pics and write what they think the song represents. The post about this song in particular captured me, especially when it talked about "being 17 and with THAT girl," made me think about how realistic interactions with girls used to be before we got wrapped up in all of this. Anyways the whole album is dope, classic dreamwave synths to get you floating through the day. It was super appropriate that this song came in my life just as SLscene got a Heatwave of its own. .get.down.

Duck Sauce - aNYway



This Duck Sauce video has been blowing up in the inter-web for awhile now, it wasn't until this morning that it finally got stuck in my head (and on this website). Good luck groovin'

7zip - Winrar alternative

































Some people have been asking me how to access the files they are trying from soothe.an.ear. I personally use WinRar but know that there is a perfectly safe and free alternative called 7zip that seems to be easy to navigate for new bloggers. It is designed for Windows users but I have heard there is a Mac OS update available that works fine. If there is any questions or complications post 'em in the comment forums or get.at.me via some other method.

RJD2 - Tin Foil Hat EP











RJD2 is back with his new EP The Tin Foil Hat (Not the album artwork). If you pay attention to music news, RJD2 dropped a bomb recently that he was starting his own record label with Trent Reznor and Jack White, I believe it is called RJ's Electrical Connections. This EP is a far cry from his previous release The Third Hand, which was chocked full of dope beats and distracting lyrics. Similar to the Mike Posner I had sent to me by augustus. Instead The Tin Foil Hat is a return to classic RJD2; with perfect hip hop beats, ever impressive drums, and piano riffs that will make your dumb new girlfriend think you have class...[insert other filler words here].
