play list - 12/31/2009

i got my major lazer cd in the mail this week and was happy to play that for the first time. i just saw the videos a couple weeks ago and they were totally wild. no surprise since they were directed by the "eric" part of "tim and eric's awesome show, great job", which is also wildly hilarious. i hesitate to link to the videos since they are somewhat NSFW but they are so trippy that i am going to do it anyway. so you've been warned. of course the geeky dj in the video with the computerized equipment is me :-)

also i played calvin harris, who is a producer for kylie minogue. i think next week i will play several songs by electronic artists who produce for popular artists like madonna and kylie.

happy new year to everyone!

play list - 12/17/2009

played a heavy dose of sitar music today, including the sitar "jingle bells" by anup. and several christmas song remixes. also played a couple electro-funk songs. so i was really bummed that i couldn't play this song, because it is only available for purchase in the UK itunes store right now. its created by two dj's, so the band in the video isn't real, as far as i know, but the dancing in the video is excellent!

play list - 12/3/2009

got a new "turntables on the hudson" cd and another world fusion one called "the new gold standard" with some good sitar parts, so i focussed on world fusion music today. funny thing... i got both of these cds (and many more very good cd's) as downloads from a promotion company called spectre digital. i was listening to one cd from them this week and noticing that a song was using lyrics that were the name of a different song on the cd. after this happened a couple times, i checked and found that when you download the tracks from the spectre site they are sequenced differently than the track listing on the album art, LOL. so i had already played several songs on air in the past couple weeks and announced the wrong title. the not so funny part is that i had to re-burn several cd's, which was a bit of a hassle. but the music is great, so i'm not complaining.

i didn't play this song today, but i've played it at least once and the video just came out, so here it is
