play list - 08/27/2009

one of the most interesting things i played today was electronic music fused with tuvan (mongolia/russia area) throat singing. the tuvan band is called huun huur tu and the cd is produced by an electronic music producer. here's a video of them without the electronic part. they can sing these deep notes and make these bizarre whistling/humming sounds with their throats at the same time. not to mention playing instruments too.

play list - 08/20/2009

watched the live "scratch" video this weekend, so that made me want to play the x-ecutioners and other turntablists. that expanded into quite a bit of hip-hop, including some reggae hip-hop from damian marley and shinehead. i've played "welcome to jamrock" many times, its a great song. here's the video:

play list - 08/13/2009

my brother got the daft punk "alive 2007" cd for christmas in 2007 and i can't believe i never really listened to it until recently. i watched the videos of their tour, and they're awesome! but the videos make me sorely regret not travelling to see them at my home town venue - red rocks in colorado. two "robots" playing awesome music from the top of a pyramid that shoots lights and fog, outside at red rocks. what could be possibly be better?!?!?!?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGECJP3phyY&feature=fvw


so i started my show with 13 minutes from that cd, then played some electro from iceland and norway, and the usual latin stuff. it was my 3rd week playing bomba estereo's "fuego" and i accidentally cued the wrong track and had to fade out and switch tracks. so i think that was a sign that i'm done with that one.
