Happy Friday! What's up everyone? We've had the amazing pleasure of hanging out and listening to the Company of Thieves, our latest guests on BLURS. BLURS is our recording session and we've got lots of artists on the way, just for you! Chicago's Company of Thieves is Mike Ortiz, Genevieve Schatz and Marc Walloch. They have an amazing new album out called Ordinary Riches and you can get it on iTunes. For our session, they performed acoustic versions of In Passing, Oscar Wilde, and Fire Song. Also they performed When The City Waves, You Must Learn to Swim from a summer released EP called Tourniquet. Your ears also get an awesome acoustic cover of John Lennon's Instant Karma. Thanks so much to Wind Up Records and our whole crew. Enjoy!

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!
