After listening to some of the tracks on my Booka Shade post, Night Falls in particular reminded me of The New Deal. If you get a chance to see them live, you should make every effort to, as 2011 will be the last year as a band. A few favorites to for your listening pleasure.

I’ve known of Booka Shade for a while. I have listened to a couple of tracks here and there but never got them to stick. I even passed up seeing them at a show at the Independent a few blocks away from my place. All until I was experimenting with some Genius mixes this weekend and a few of their tracks came up. Perhaps I always passed them up for more active beats and melodies, but as I dive in I’m coming to the realization that this German duo can deliver energy and movement, just at their own, sometimes weird, pace. Maybe weird is a bad word – let’s say unique.
A testament to their talent, they’ve even had a DJ-Kicks release.
I’m still acquainting myself with these veterans of the Frankfurt electronic scene. I’ve read that their latest album is more aligned with club music – it’ll be interesting to unravel this progression, especially given the tracks below which come off their earlier albums.

Sometimes I feel that finding music that excites me is hard. I search and search, looking for the best of the best, something that pops. But then I hear an older track screaming out my radio getting me all excited again and im reminded “go back to that guy, hes prob got something new or old you haven’t heard” Well this post is all about my original find of Just Some Kid. Hes an amazing DJ, blending the best mix of music into a web of fantastical ear food.
This first track I found on Feelmybicep a while back and it really hit the spot.

This one is so far my fave, but feel free to get over to his soundcloud. Make sure you keep your ears open for shows with this guy spinning. It will be an amazing dance-fest.
