Booka Shade

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.

Been a while since I posted -- prepping for Ultra Music Festival, among other things.  I predict that the festival will up my motivation to post.  But until then, here’s something to keep you occupied while I rave:

WFA = Work From AWESOME!

Lets be honest working from home is awesome. What makes it better is getting to post to this site. As I explore the backlog of tracks that need to be posted here I run across a few B-I-S(Beats in Space) tracks that NEED to be up here.

Beats in Space is a weekly radio show hosted by Tim Sweeney in NYC on WNYU radio 89.1. Tuesdays from 10:30 till 1am he spins hot records and keeps the show rolling with guests from all over the land. This first track (a long one for you kids who need a lazy night away from DJing) is from some of my favorite DJs in the world. They are Irish, so i figured St Pattys day might be the best time to show off their skills. From the fabulous website “FeelMyBicep.com” comes BICEP

Beats in Space – 3.1.11 – w/Bicep

10. DJ Koze vs Sid Le Rock – Naked (DJ Koze remix) – Cereal/Killers
11. Mr Fingers – Closer (Frankie Foncett Dude Mix) – MCA
12. Cajmere & Gene Farris – Edge Of The Looking Glass – Cajual Records

here is a link to the rest of the show just incase you wanted to see what Tim Sweeney’s capabilities were,

Beats in Space – 3.1.11

My second track comes from the one and FAMOUS “James Murphy”. This show was back in the early 2000s when James was relatively unknown in the big world but was awesomely famous with other DJs.

Well this is a long overdue post, but Deadmau5 dropped his new album, 4 x 4 = 12,  on December 7th.  A few comments:

My favorites are the tracks that I’ve been listening to for a while now and already mentioned here, as they were already released as singles:

I’m a bit disappointed in Raise Your Weapon and Sofi Needs a Ladder

Raise Your Weapon

Sofi Needs a Ladder

Lastly, why is Everything Before is on this album?  It already made an appearance on the compilation album It Sounds Like, one of my most favorite albums.

Selected Label Works 1 & 2 – A Christmas Present for You

Music | Posted by Aaron A
Dec 16 2010

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

Lullabies in the Dark – Song for Marie Elise (Aeroplane Remix)
