Cassie’s Music Year of 2015

Cassie — Mon, 21 Dec 2015 15:15:56 +0000

Every December I feel obligated to say “What a year it has been” as I reflect on all that has happened in the past 11 1/2 months. This December is no different. In 2015 I lost a job, got a new job, joined the TMD team, saw the Northern Lights, found a new love for Argentinean wine, and made some amazing connections in this crazy industry we call music. When asked to develop my top list of 2015- I admittedly stared at the computer for what felt like hours. Blank. How can I pick top tracks when my ‘2015’ list is miles long?! So I turned back to reflecting on my year. What songs helped me through the tough times, and reminded me of the good ones. I came up with the below, and I hope you all enjoy.

And yes Tim, Parade of Lights was the first band I added.

Bon Voyage, Tim!

So, as you may or may not know, Tim has left us little guys behind in Brooklyn for bigger and better things in Managua, Nicaragua. And while we will certainly miss the boss in the office, we are so proud and excited for what new inspiration and bite of life he will return home with. In honor of the spectacular year he has had chasing — and catching — his dream of becoming a festival-stage DJ, lets take a trip down memory lane with #2014Tim. Fortunate for me, wheels are up on his flight so he can’t un-approve this post…. your TMD family loves you, Tim!

CMJ Show Announcements

Tim — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:32:05 +0000

So while you thought we were all busy just working on Escape Music Festival we’ve also been hard at work putting together not one but TWO CMJ showcases. The first of which is going to be held on Wednesday October 22nd at Brooklyn Bowl. The lineup is quite stacked with talent from near and far and we’re stoked to finally announce it!

At Brooklyn Bowl we’ve got a strong lineup starting with Canadian rockers In-Flight Safety. We’ve been high on their brand of introspective rock music for a few months now and are thrilled to welcome them stateside. Next up, we’ve got Brooklyn sensation AYER who has taken the town by storm in a very real way over the past couple of months. We had him play Brooklyn Night Bazaar back in August and believe me, the set does not disappoint. Then we’ve got LA electro pop duo Carousel making the trip east to light up the bowl. Should I keep going? VERITE. Another barn burner of an act out of NYC sold out her debut last month at our Escape kick off with Popshop. The hype is real. Let me take a breathe. OK I’m good. MOTHXR is bringing us around 3rd base with their mysteriously cool beats and and Penn Badgley’s chops. It only gets better. Then we’ve got an EXCLUSIVE play from BC’s very own Teen Daze. With vibed out dreamy synths, we’ll be whisked away into sonic bliss.

To round out the bill we’ve got:

Teen Daze
MOTHXR
VERITE
Carousel
AYER
In-Flight Safety

Then there’s ROUND TWO!

So nice we’re doing it twice. We’re bringing it back to where it all began at The Knitting Factory. And we’ve got another show stopper panty dropper for you to kick off your weekend. We’re going hard to the hoop with Stockholm’s Kate Boy, SAFIA, Australia’s Fractures, Brooklyn newcomers PROM, Melbourne’s Banoffee and Greighwolfe hailing from the UK. I mean it wouldn’t be a The Green Room show without 50% of the lineup being from Australia right??

FULL BILL:

Kate Boy
SAFIA
Fractures
Prom
Banoffee
Greighwolfe

Now with summertime festival season out of the way, we are pumped to announce the full lineup for Brooklyn’s own Escape Music Festival. We’re honored to have been a part of curating the live main stage. The lineup, if we do say so ourselves, speaks for itself and has just been announced featuring Girl Talk, a Moby DJ set, Anoraak, and The Joy Formidable, in addition to previously announced artists Placebo, Yeasayer, Ra Ra Riot, The Crystal Method and more. The venue is completely insane. Right on the water in Red Hook with sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline. It will be a mind blowing place to catch a live show.

It’s been a long road from when we set out to do this thing right. And here we are. I cannot wait for October 11th & 12th. Columbus Day, it’s on!

The Most Definitely – Live From The Hudson Project

Tim — Thu, 17 Jul 2014 16:28:11 +0000

On July 11, 2014 I had the opportunity to DJ my first festival stage at The Hudson Project in Saugerties, NY. It was one of the most amazing, life changing experiences I have ever been privy to. This is a recording of what happened. It is a moment I will never forget and I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to do what I love in front of so many amazing people. I hope it’s the first of many and I hope you enjoy.

Thank you so much for listening.

Track list:

Justice – Helix (Extended Mix)
Ghost Beach – Moon Over Japan (Dart Party Remix)
Croquet Club – Day After Day
Oliver – Dirty Talk
Portugal. The Man – Purple Yellow Red & Blue (Bear Mountain Remix)

TMD Presents: Spirit Animal w/ Badboxes & Twin Wave on May 9th

Max — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:44:43 +0000

Fun fact: One year ago on May 9th we promoted our first live event. We’ve had a dangerously good time since then and it’s only fitting that a year later, to the day, we will celebrate with one of our favorite indie lineups of all time.

GET TICKETS HERE

Perhaps you thought Rock was over. Or that guitar solos, haunting bass lines, power crash cymbals and the valiant but chivalrous front-man were dead? Think again. When was the last time you heard an indie crowd roar like a stadium after every song? Spirit Animal is the indie Chili Peppers, its just that simple…and you could not be catching them at a more appropriate venue. Hint: the catwalk at The Westway will be in play like never before.

Next up, our brothers from another mothers, Badboxes. Hailing from Pittsburgh, you’d think they were our neighbors because we’ve had them play 3 of our shows and this will make for number 4. Making them quite literally, our favorite band to work with. That is no coincidence; we cannot get enough of these guys. From the first note of JSMN, I knew I was hooked and we’ve been finding ways to get them back to NYC as often as possible, cause the people need to know. Seeing a Badboxes set is a borderline religious experience. Their brand of Northern Pop gives me goosebumps every time. DO NOT MISS THIS SET.

Shelf those dinner plans and join us early cuz there’s no fat on this lineup. To kick it all off we’ve got one of Brooklyn most buzzworthy new acts, Twin Wave. Alt-J meets Dan Croll with a heavy Radiohead influence, this new act is predetermined for greatness. Don’t believe me? Just listen to Relapse below. You can’t lie, that track is an undeniable hit.

Get your tickets here and we’ll see you on May 9th!

And lastly, our very own The Most Definitely (DJ Set) will be building the energy between acts and spoon feeding a deep disco dance party to cap off the night. After a brilliant SXSW debut, where he shared the stage with some of indie’s finest performers, I’m extremely pumped to see how this set plays out on his home turf. Check out The New Silver mixtape below and you’ll know why.

The Most Definitely Live Mix

Tim — Fri, 21 Mar 2014 15:39:45 +0000

I just got back from South by Southwest and everything has changed. I had the opportunity to DJ out there and it was one of the most satisfying and unforgettable moments of my life. Never have I had more fun playing out and never has my life been so dramatically altered as a result. I’ve been toying around with these mixtapes thinking about mixing them proper for a while, and in light of my experience in Austin, the time is now to make that a reality. And here we are. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoy making them. I present you a new chapter in the mixtape series: the first live mix.

Croatia Squad – Be Good To Me (Original Mix)
Fleetwood Mac – You Make Lovin’ Fun (Trailmix)
