Landon Tewers says NO to The Crow

Felipe — Mon, 24 Oct 2016 16:58:49 +0000

Friends don’t let friends dress like The Crow for Halloween. I know, I know. It always sounds good in theory, but it never looks as sexy as you hoped. You always wind up looking like a juggalo, and that’s never a good look; unless you ARE a juggalo, and then it’s still not a good look. In case you were unaware of the most interesting subsect of America, juggalos are the collective name of the pyscho fans of Insane Clown Posse – the former of which are actually registered with the FBI as a hybrid-gang. If you wanna fall in to a rabbit hole of ridiculous Americana, go learn about the juggalos and their annual festival, The Gathering – truly mesmerizing stuff. Anyways, this week begins an epic sports week as the Indians begin their domination of the Chicago Cubs. In honor of Ohio (but not the Cavs), I present Landon Tewers and his new song. He’s the frontman of a fairly popular metalcore band called The Plot In You from Western Ohio, and he makes some interestingly dark and broody and electric-y solo tracks, the best of which IMO is this one here, “What Do I Say.” The dark vibes here represent the fall of the Cubbies to the Indians, and how emo they are gonna feel, just like The Crow. This song feels like it belongs in one of those dark late 90s movies, like the rave scene in American Werewolf in Paris and well, The Crow. But remember, given that next weekend is Halloween, friends don’t let friends dress like the Crow.

Feli Says go dark for Halloween

The Sun/Son Savi

Felipe — Thu, 06 Oct 2016 16:08:05 +0000

Someone named Savi, more often than not, is female, of Indian ancestry, and Hindu. This Savi is not those things. Well… Now that I think about it, I guess that’s not fair of me to assume. This Savi appears male, although that could be insensitive of me and I don’t want assume anyone’s gender. This Savi self-describes with the use of male pronouns, so henceforth I will presume Savi is male, whether biologically that way or not shouldn’t matter as Savi identifies as male, so that is his gender (did I do that right? I’m trying to be better). Savi surely doesn’t “look” Indian, but then again, what does an Indian “look” like? It’d be racially insensitive of me to just say all Indian people look alike or prescribe to one stereotyped or generalized outward appearance. Is Savi Hindu? Beats me. That’s his business, just like his gender and his ancestry. So maybe he was born female, has Indian ancestry, and is a practicing Hindu, or maybe he’s a white guy from the Midwest, idk… Or maybe his parents heard that Savi meant “the Sun,” but since they heard it, thought it meant “the son,” and so gave an Indian Hindu girl’s name to their baby boy. I don’t know… I’m just saying. In these racially charged times, it’d be pretty messed up of me to go ahead and assume things about someone I didn’t know. In this new world, I guess one is just as likely as the other, right? What do you think?

(Oh ya, this is supposed to be about music.) This is his new track that came out a week ago. You can find him spinning in clubs in LA and Vegas for folks like Kanye and Johnny Depp.

Long Weekends for Winners

Felipe — Tue, 06 Sep 2016 16:30:51 +0000

It was Friday before a long weekend, and like most of you, I’m wasn’t actually working. My computer monitor might not even have be on, I wouldn’t know. People walk by your cube, you furiously hit ALT+TAB!! ALT+TAB!! (Where’s that fake excel sheet!? pick up the phone…) “…oh yes Frank. ya’know.., we’ve gotta maximize work time efficiencies and markets and synergizations… No no… totally.” So as we fake worked our way in to the weekend, we actually needed to get things organized so as to properly initiate vacay. Fun swim trunks? Good, good. Next: adequate driving/lounging/fiesta-ing music is required. But since it’s a Fake Work Friday (#FWF – btw I just invented that, feel free to use it) I needed the path of least resistance (re: “do as little work as possible”) for the weekend’s hot jams. Reaching back to previously featured artists seemed like my best bet. Getting me started was Midnight To Monaco, originally featured back in June. These duders have been releasing real fun(ky) tracks all summer. Next was Logic, originally featured back in October 2014 (ya… that’s 2 years ago), who has been blowing up the last year, and here is featured on Big Gigantic’s new track “All of Me.” Then we’ve got Get Inuit’s new track “Teriyaki,” whose fuzzy-pop is rather infectious. Closing out the official “Feli’s End of Summer Four Track Playlist” is a Country Swag prize from Brett Young and his mega-hit off his debut EP – “Sleep Without You.” Impossible not to smile during that one. And don’t try and be tough. Everyone secretly likes country. Just conform already.

So that’s what Feli Said. But since he’s lazy on #FWF, he didn’t get around to posting till today.

Go for Gold(room)

Felipe — Wed, 20 Jul 2016 21:48:32 +0000

Midweek blues got you jonesin’ for that poolside fiesta you went to on Sunday? The one with sweet jams, cool breezes, cold drinks and hard bodies? I feel you. Except I don’t have a pool. Soho House won’t return my emails. And the hotel pool across the street wants to charge me $320 to sit in a chair. No matter. My apartment’s A/C barely works, so I just leave the air off and sit in the tub with a cocktail, shades on, music playing from my cell phone (in a solo cup to pump up the jams obvi) and a handheld fan blowing recycled air on my neck. Our lives are basically the same. I just have the decency to lie about it on Instagram is all. My bathtub/pool party playlist includes Goldroom’s new jam, “Silhouette.” Goldroom, not to be confused with Goldhouse (seriously with the names guys!?), another DJ whom we have visited with, is a Boston-bred nu-disco and tropical house DJ. Mr. Room lists his musical influences as, “basically any famous and cool musician in the last 30 years.” No, that’s not his actual quote, but it might as well have been with the list he provided… smh

Since Gold and “home related stuff” is a thing, I guess my DJ name will be Goldenshower.

Feli Says go for group tub time

CADE, Florida Man, strikes again

Felipe — Mon, 11 Jul 2016 19:54:29 +0000

Back in April we visited some Florida Man highlights when we checked out Chris Farren, like the Florida Man who said the cocaine in his buttocks wasn’t his. Well don’t worry, Florida Man continued his shenanigan-filled tomfoolery in honor of CADE and his new catchy track that’s racking up listens; like the FM (no relation to other people with those awesome initials) tried to walk out of a store with a chainsaw stuffed down his pants; or the FM who threw a toilet at imaginary attackers while barricaded inside a meth lab; or the FM who terrified a vacationing family with gunfire meant for an iguana; or the FM who screamed “F*ck Them Horses” before punching a police horse; or the FM who pocket dialed 911 while cooking meth with mom; or the FM who was arrested for beating a drag queen with a tikki torch while dressed as KKK member who then ran for mayor (of town just north of Ft. Lauderdale); or the FM who spent 5 hours driving his dead grandmother around a nudist colony; or the FM who attacked an ATM with a hatchet after it didn’t accept his check; and let’s not forget the FM who called 911 after his Playstation stopped working! “Hello this is 9-1-1. Do you need police or paramedics?” “Do you know about the whole thing going on with the Playstation Network..?” Well the 19-year old singer/ songwriter/ producer CADE from the always classy seaside town of Tampa finally got his Playstation working and has performed alongside G-Eazy, Steve Aoki, Jason Derulo, etc.

Don’t Shrug off this ATTLAS

Felipe — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 20:57:54 +0000

Do you have the post-holiday blues? The “no-longer long weekend” shakes? The “why is everyone emailing me? don’t they realize yesterday was a holiday!? I’m not a machine goddammit!” Well this Canadian mystery man, Jeff Hartford, aka ATTLAS, will help cool you down with his new lyric-less jam. The Canuck got stuck in in the Mau5trap (DeadMau5’s label), and for a while had people thinking he actually was Mr. Mau5 himself, releasing tunes under a shadow moniker, but alas, he’s a real person. If you need another reason to like Jeff, Jeff is really in to Taylor Swift and inspired by movie soundtracks. His super chill Star Wars themed song, “Sunset Over Manaan” throws in some Han Solo dialogue here and there, and today’s jam, his new single out last week, “Ryat,” is also pretty nice and easy going to get you through whatever scaries you may be experiencing. Good luck.

That’s all Feli has to Say about that

Fareoh goes great in yummy salads

Felipe — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 19:13:01 +0000

So you probs already know about Big Grams and their debut EP last year. They are the combo indie/electro/hiphop consortium comprised of Big Boi (a la Outkast) and Phantogram – and they just put out a bunch of remixes of their song “Drum Machine” – arguably the weakest song from their EP (worth checking out “Fell In The Sun” – and “Lights On”). So what’d they do? They grabbed the track and had five separate folks remix the heck out of it. This Fareoh remix is hands down the best one. Who? Well, this dude Ian Spurrier (no relation to Steve) may have to pull a MacGruber-style Vegas nightclub introduction: “Who am I, you ask!?… MY name, is Fareoh! Remember. That. Name!” But he’d have to spell it for us too cuz I have no idea how to pronounce it. Is it like the Egypt pharaohs? or like, the way too expensive grain I put in my salad at Chop’t, farro…? Well whether it be his affinity for hieroglyphics and sarcophagi, or just nutritious and delicious salads, he made a really good song.

Feli Things he’s really good at photoshop…

Kiiara & Jai Wolf mastering USA foreign relations

Felipe — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 16:00:52 +0000

Born and bred Fightin’ Illini, 21 year-old Kiiara appeared outta nowhere last summer on SoundCloud with her single “Gold,” a chopped up electrochill track that raced to north of 51 million spotify listens as of today. She was just making music in her bedroom at mom’s house, something happened, got hooked up with some mega folks and now she’s a hit. Easy peasy. Her official first EP came out like a week ago, but the jam to get on is this Jai Wolf remix of her track “Feels” – which gives you a very “move in slow motion Miami”-vibe (hit that 1:40 & 3:33 mark). The Bangladesh-born, NYC-raised DJ better known as Jai Wolf, not only has a sweet stage name, but was really in to Crash Bandicoot (gr8 game) and Pokemon growing up, which makes him aok in my book (all about that Charizard).

Feli Wonders which is more acceptable as an adult, Pokemon cards or Magic: The Gathering?

Turns out, Nicole Millar does not study volcanoes :-/

Felipe — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 15:02:53 +0000

Out with her first solo EP is the 22 year-old Aussie volcanist (I mean vocalist), Nicole Millar (you may recognize her voice from Peking Duk’s tripled platinum song “High”). I coulda sworn a volcanist was the same as a volcanologist… ends up it’s just a made up word (and I’m dumb) :-/ and an easy typo from “vocalist”. Although it’d be pretty cool if she was a trendy singer/volcanologist, right?! Especially cuz then her new single “Tremble” would have a sweet double meaning (a double entendre if you will, given it’s risque nature of course) and not just the whole linear sex/missing you motif. But what can you do… She’s fresh off opening for Troye Sivan and her tunes are prime for my Girl Electrochill playlist. With a new solo career Nicole is just gonna wing it, and ya know, see what happens.

“Listen Piper, there’s a big difference between winging it and seeing what happens. Now let’s see what happens.” – MacGruber

If Feli Says something and no one is around to hear it, does he make a sound?

Bag Raiders stole my joke…

Felipe — Fri, 22 Jan 2016 17:53:28 +0000

Let’s say I had a buddy named Lorenz. We’d call him L, since he has a “Z” in his name and that’s silly. If you’d ever meet L, you may not learn that he loves to dance, but he does. This sexy German fellow would put on an air of seriousness, but where he’d feel most at home is standing on a couch at a disco-tech, head slightly lowered, one hand in the air, swaying to the euro electronica dance jams. Well, these dudes Bag Raiders love people like L. The Australian electronica duo have said that playing in America can “be a little strange sometimes” as we Yanks generally sit around “chin-stroking” waiting for the hits; while playing Europe is the polar opposite. Europe has people like L – “a little more knowledgeable when it comes to dance music” – so they can play a whole set of “deeper cuts.” The self professed orchestra/choir/band geeks have come a long way since getting together after meeting in Australian high school (whatever that entails): from playing “wherever they were invited” to their North America Tour starting next month: 3/12 @ Bowery Ballroom.
