While many of us have heard Daft Punk’s “Robot Rock”, not many of us know that it was sampled from an early 80′s classic named “Release the Beast” by funk synth masters Breakwater. Please enjoy this gem.

Watching this documentary on how he tried to become a rap star…(I’m still here) Just reminded me that this song is way better.

I had the opportunity to see an early screening of Tron early this week and obviously I jumped on it. Of course a great allure of the movie, besides being a contemporary remake/sequel of an 80s classic, is the sound track by the Fathers of Electronic, Daft Punk.
Honestly, I didn’t get a very “DP” impression from the get go, but during one scene that includes a cameo appearance, it hits:

I thought the film was great – entertaining and fun. The sound is incredible on the theater sound system. I wish I watched the original before I went, but it was so spur of the moment I didn’t get a chance. If you can, I would suggest you do. Enjoy!
Are you ready for some tasty guitar licks, and a soothing yet commanding voice talking about a sexy lady with green eyes? I figured you were. This is pretty delicious and dirty.
Listening to Pandora on my Whitest Boy Alive station and came across this. Reminds me of Jamiroquai with some jazzy background. Could be an awesome band. We’ll have to do some more research.
This last weekend, I stumbled upon the compilation albums Selected Label Works 1 and Selected Label Works 2, by the Permanent Vacation label. I didn’t know much about the label or these 2 CD albums, but as I dived deeper into SLW 2 (I discovered the 2nd album first) I knew I had to find out more. I was thrilled to find tracks and remixes by Woolfy and Tensnake, artists both of which I’ve mentioned before in previous posts. Other favorites like Holy Ghost, Mock & Toof, and Junior Boys have remixes included on the albums. Being a singles compilation, some might find it a bit weird to have the same track, albeit different versions, included on the album – but the way I see it, the boys at Permanent Vacation are just giving you the ability to decide for yourself which one is best. Some of my favorites to enjoy:
Selected Label Works 1

I strongly encourage exploring the other tracks. I’d be interested in your thoughts!
New link. Gotta watch out for that copyright thing.
This should get you ready to see Tron and listen to some similar music during the movie.
More Justice!
I hope this works boys. Kool and the gang rock it pretty hard. Get down on it
