YACHT ROCK SUNDAY!!!

So instead of the normal YACHT ROCK SUNDAY!!! format, where I talk about how smooth the song is and how it could relate to sailing, I've opted to do some shameless self promotion. I'm playing Yacht Rock tonight at a pizza place... "What? A pizza place?" you say... Well I can't think of a better way for us land locked Austinites to listen to yacht rock than gathered around gods gift to man. A perfect circle of awesome and the perfect sound of smooth will clash tonight.. 9 to 11:30 @ Mellow Mushroom be thuuuurrr!!!


Oh, and Ride Captain Ride is smooth, so it's not like I'm leaving you hanging with a half assed YRS!!! post.

Wobble Wednesday: Slugabed

Sup TFFKRWDR's! Sorry I was void last week. Got a little caught up in things, but back..even though a late evening post.

Today I bring a tune from a man named Slugabed. This dudes sluggish hip-hop rhythms and nintendo bleeped sythns sit somewhere between a Flying Lotus-esque, Joker-esque zone! Eclectic enough to earn attention of IDM bass connoisseur Planet Mu. Here's a tune from his Ultra Heat Treated 12" EP

YACHT ROCK SUNDAY!!! I apologize edition

Sorry about last week, problem with Safari. I don't think I Keep Forgettin' ended up getting posted, but that song is so amazing that it deserves it's own post... With an extended disco mix of the song.


Anyways, this week's dose of smooth comes from Jersey's very own Looking Glass. Before there was beat beating and douche-bagginess all along the shore, there was smooth. I'm choosing this song this week because when I was djing at music gym a friend and I started shouting the lyrics at each other during the storm of electro. We were like the eye of the Hurricane.

Keeping it deep and moody on this one, Hamburg's Stimming comes correct with this, my favorite cut of his recent album, Reflections.

With releases on Audiomatique, Buzzin' Fly and his own, Diynamic Records, Stimming has established himself as one to watch in the coming year. And, along with label mate, Solomun, he's making a calculated effort to capture my heart.

If you haven't heard...

A little change of pace for the KRWD, I'm sure, but I just discovered some wonderfully good wintertime jams.

The Flying Change is Sam Jacobs and his horde of folk rockers from the icy reaches on New York State. Haven't had much time to absorb their album, Pain Is A Reliable Signal, but these two live covers of some of my most beloved LCD Soundsystem tunes have been on repeat for me all day long.

Wobble Wednesday: Jahcoozi

Heya folks! Time for another installment of that booty jiggle music! Today I bring to you Jahcoozi. A multi-national trio based out of Berlin, Germany that consists of Sri-Lanken MC Sasha Perera, Israeli bass sound-tech Oren Gerlitz and German producer Robot Koch (someones production I've been fond of, which turned me on to the group in the first place). Their melting pot of culture, I'm sure, lends hand to a unique blend of pop, dancehall, dubstep, hip-hop and other forms of dance into their music. On certain tunes, Sasha's vocals can bring to mind reminisces of M.I.A, but the group is still able to carve a distinctive style which stands on it's own. The group has made a name for themselves within Berlin's underground via their live performances.
Be on the look out for an EP Due Out April 19th on Ellen Allien's Imprint, Bpitch Control. I leave you here with a video from their Namedropper EP out now on Batty Bass Records and a medley from their upcoming album entitled 'Barefoot Wander'.

Tech Tuesdays : Worthy

Back again for you weekly dose of Tech? Today, we're keeping it stateside with one of my favorite producers as of late, Worthy. One fourth of the Dirty Bird Records crew, head honcho over at Anabatic Records and globetrotting party rocker... this guy does it all.

The tune up for grabs is the self-titled cut off his most recent EP, "Eight Yay Eight." The tune sounds suspiciouly like Claude Von Stroke's superb, "Big N Round," but I can't deny that it gets me moving. If you got that other CVS tune, you might try mixing em together... I've gotten some interesting textures out of one such blend.

YACHT ROCK SUNDAY!!!

Believe it or not I actually had a request for this song. Christopher Cross who's Sailing is the end all be all of yacht rock teamed up with the incredible Michael McDonald to bring us this smooth jam about an outlaw on the run, who's gotta ride... Ride like the wind... I like to think he makes it to Mexico, buys a captain's hat, some sunglasses, a yacht and throws back nothing but smooth boat drinks.


The smoothness on this one goes all the way to 11, play it loud.

Well, hello interweb music lover / lusters. A little late in the day, but welcome to another brand new installment to TFFKRWD - Wobble Wednesday! "Wobbly Whu?!"...so, before we even begin, let's not even pigeon-hold ourselves with playful names. This weekly installment is to cover all things urban bass music! Whether your titling it Dubstep, Bassline, Funky, Grime, Wonky, Garage, Tropical, rest assure, it'll probably jiggle your booty and rattle your chest plate.

So with that, I bring to you a man, that as well, is a little tough to pinpoint...yet, considered to be a pioneer of the genre we know as Dubstep. Yes, Rusko! Allow him to better describe his sound in this Mad Decent podcast.
And keep your eyes / ears peeled for his highly anticipated album entitled 'OMG' due out late May on the Mad Decent label. The 12" single Woo-Boost should hold you over until then, dropping Feb 23rd. PRE-ORDER it ->here<-

That's right, for my first order of business here on the TFFKRWD, I'm going to be single handedly injecting this bitch with a dose of pure Tech groove... one for the masses! Expect deep, left field, sub bassin' jams from around the globe; exciting new sounds and textures that push the boundaries of what is considered house music... yeah, that's right, I said it, HOUSE MUSIC!

First up, we got a deep and dark, moody mover by someone that is very new to me; He goes by the name of AHMET SISMAN and the tune is called "MOVE." This one is a stomper for me, I absolutely love this tune and be on the look out for that vocal sample around 3 minutes... can you spot it?

Also, ALL tunes posted for Tech Tuesdays will be encoded in 128kbps. This series is ment to educate and inform, so, if you like the tunes, you find yourself jammin' them or puttin' them in a mix... buy the tune! There are plenty of online music stores, it's real easy and super simple. Support the artist, support underground music!
