Your Clubbin' Weekend Needed This!
Sunday, January 13, 2008
Whether you need to brush up on your dancing skills in the living room, or the club DJ couldn't "cut" it for you last night, we got you covered. And Yes, we've had our moments with rap song-to-song fade in/out DJ sets and lighting that makes you sit and calculate how cheap it all costs at your local party store. Luckily for us there's Mark Farina! He's done up over a dozen releases but we wanted to touch up on his latest, Live In Tokyo. This 72 minute beat-for-beat dance stream packed album was recorded live last summer in Tokyo and released few months ago from the underground giants Om Records (Samantha James, Sessions, Colette).He's made some sweet selections on this album including Myungho Choi, Dan Cummings and Leon Louder with some of that rad organ keyboard throughout. This is definitely one of best dance electronic albums and just another everyday boasting of Farina's skills. Head on over to his site to hear and see more including Muchroom Jazz, Session mixes etc. Also get this album now here. And of course we got some of them tracks for you to sample. Get some of that chill funk now!

RADIO 1's Live Lounge Volume 2!!!
Thursday, November 01, 2007
Following the success of the Radio 1's Vol. 1 CDs, we finally have the Vol. 2 with even more awesome live covers. I was super excited about this CD because of the line-up including Corinne Bailey Rae, Damien Rice, Coldplay, and KT Tunstall. These are all live covers, many with an acoustic feel and often times they get jazzy- are real good twist to these pop songs.
A lot of comps and various artists CDs usually don't have 40 songs! This 2-CD collection is a great party background, and it's cheesy but people will definitely be asking where you got it. Way to be in the music-know! It's a great listen all the way through. Radio 1's Live Lounge Vol. 2 was released on the 22nd and it's quickly on it's way up to a top seller. Get yours here. We Got some tracks for you and the playlist. Enjoy!
