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

Tundran is Still Afraid (of spiders?)

Felipe — Tue, 23 Feb 2016 15:00:33 +0000

This Indie/New wave/Disco duo from Sweden (which could abbreviate as “INDi” duo, but then it’d be really misleading) (although SwINDi Duo sounds amazing), Tundran, are just two dudes, Felix and Jakob, blending sounds from bands like, Lemaitre, LCD Soundsystem, Chromeo, 1975, etc… and making a nice “play by the pool”-tune. Kinda perfect for day dreaming on a Monday in February… Anywho, they try and use all real instruments in their songs, which they made sure to mention when interviewed. I guess that’s respectable since they’re… umm… musicians and what not… Listening to what Tundran is afraid of (being loved) made me think about what I’m truly afraid of. Is it being alone? Being homeless? Have no legs? I think it’d have to be the tunnel of insects and spiders from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I don’t think there is anything worse than that, besides like, having to get through that tunnel and having no legs :-/

Feli Says just LISTEN already, ugh

Bag Raiders stole my joke…

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.

Feli is DEFINITELY Listening to this

Giorgio Moroder – Deja Vu (LP)

Felipe — Fri, 19 Jun 2015 14:00:35 +0000

Giorgio Moroder is a legend (I mean, LOOK at that pornstar ‘stache), who if you remember, Daft Punk had a whole tribute song about in their last album. This dude’s got 3 Academy Awards and 4 Grammys. He wrote “What a Feeling” from Flashdance, and also wrote the Berlin track “Take My Breath Away” from Top Gun (never has one song been re-used more throughout a movie than “Take My Breath Away” in Top Gun. Also, who shows up at someones house for a dinner date and asks to use their shower?? Does Pete Mitchell have NO manners..?! Bold to say the least. I guess that’s why they call him Maverick). Giorgio’s new album is real solid all the way through, very chill dance Daft Punky. There’s a reason he can pull off that ‘stache…

Pretty sure Feli would Say ‘stache on #wwfs

Betablock3r – In My Head

Felipe — Thu, 23 Apr 2015 14:30:37 +0000

Electro-funk-dance-music (sometimes known as “nu-disco”) is currently “IN” and I’m really happy it is (if you haven’t noticed). Wikipedia tells us that nu-disco is a 21st century dance music genre relying on an interest in 70s and early-80s disco and the synthesizer-heavy Euro disco and P-Funk aesthetics (you know ur a badass band when an entire “aesthetic” is named after you). It became mainstream in 2013 with Daft Punk – and then with others trying to be like Daft Punk. The LA outfit Betablock3r usually are producers/remixers, but are out now some original funky nu-disco tunes. Not sure what the name is supposed to represent, but all I can think of is Zach Galifianakis in the Hangover wearing those BlueBlockers with Carlos strapped to his chest. Am I wrong to think that?
