Alex Smith - Here With Me (Feat. Diviniti)

Another track from Omar S's label FXHE. I don't know what his exact work was on this track, he might have done nothing, but it's still a super bitching tracking. I think there is something really sexy about it. I mean, clearly the vocal tracks have something to do with it but it goes beyond that. It's her voice. Sometimes it sounds like it is just going to fall off a cliff at but she holds on and sings the lyrics with such earnest. It sounds like she is singing in some sort of malfunctioning computer world.

I find the use of the electronic bleeps and bloops interesting as well. It's a pretty simple, up-front, enjoyable track, with the little key parts here and there, but then he throws in these unsettling electronic noises. It's a real juxtaposition for a sound like that but it still works.

Omar S Presents Aaron Fit Siegel Feat L'Renee -- Tonite

Lighters can be thought of like how Native Americans think of the land: no one really owns the land you just borrow it for awhile. The same way no one owns a lighter, you just possess it for sometime before someone else "owns" it.



Ahh, yes, chapter 37 of my attempted to document every Omar S track. If he ever needs an official biographer I'm his dude. Got that on lock down.

The vocals are going to be the staying point with this one but I really like the keys and funky bass line that I associate with the man. Those bass lines act like they got somewhere to go. Like they own the god damn place.

I've become obsessed with the show Doomsday Preppers. I can't get enough of it. It is one of televisions crowning achievements. When I start to build my bunker I may only stock it with Omar S tracks. And probably some booze. Because of this I think I need to pair my prepping efforts with someone a little bit more responsible. I got the jams and drinks, I just need someone to bring everything else.

HOLLYWOOD SEVEN (Disconet Dilemma Extended Edit)

God damn. Ventriloquist dolls creep the shit out of me.



A real disco barn burner. This is how all weekends should start off. Although, it doesn't sound like you really want to stay at the Hollywood Seven, that doesn't make this song any less awesome.

Well played sirs. Well played.

Thomas Köner - Teimo

Pola, it's ambient music. You gotta turn it up real loud to get it. No, louder.



Don't put this on if you are sleepy or operating heavy machinery, I don't want you hurting yourself.

It was gray all weekend in Akron. Or, to put it another way, the sky was really close to the ground. This track reminds me of that. It's sits heavy on you - like you just ate a huge meal and all you want is a nap. But then you see a ghost and you're like, Ghost, what are you doing here. And then you look out the window and see that your home is actually a boat in the middle of the ocean.

Yep, kind of like that.

Todd Edwards - Shall Go

Ummmmm, this is kind of a monster of a track. A little Detroit, techno-ish but the vocals are clearly the main event here. It has this shinny, metalic sound that is juxtaposed against these deep vocal tracks that just bounce of each other all over the place. The track sounds like it is going to explode into a million pieces at some parts but somehow it just always stays together. Fantastic.
