wasn’t the one I planned to go with today.
but took a listen through the list of tracks up for contention and ended up landing here.
so guess the lesson is that things don’t always go the way you think they’re gonna? and hey, best part is I got another good one for ya comin up after too.
good one for rolling through a sunny day on though. that much is for sure:
.
arty feat. angel taylor – up all night (slander remix)
.
Get out there,
B
again.
know this track aint exactly what you look for when you look to the dudes on a friday.
but sometimes goodness trumps vibe. and when you got this much goodness? you can trump whatevertheeff you want.
so take a moment pre pre-partying and just listen.
and know this, if you don’t make it through to the 3min mark? you’ve missed the entire point.
happy weekend:
.
brighton – forest fires
.
and then the remix happened. and it was good.
.
B
you know the song.
that one that you bump when you think you’re all alone. dance around to. maybe even belt it out a bit.
but the moment someone comes walking by? car windows role up. volume comes down.
guilty pleasures.
and I gotta be honest. for this dude? bonnie mckee is right up there with the best of em.
american girl’s been a standard on the workout mix for a hot sec now. and the new oliver remix? just making it last all the longer. on joy:
.
bonnie mckee – american girl (oliver remix)
.
and of course the o.g.:
.
just,
B
and I assume you do.
least if you’re up and at em at this moment.
so I know noone listens to my advice. but if you’re gonna do so once. in your life. do so now and get your bassy bassiness on.
talking about some real speakers. or at least a real setta earbuds.
and on joy. and be fruitful.
.
adrian lux – teenage crime (thomas jack remix)
.
saturday,
b
so then this one is dedicated to you if you’re doing something more exciting than this dude tonight.
actually, got a couple going out to you. but this is how we start it off.
this dude’s been looking for a reason to put up something viceroy. add that to hunter hunted? and when the chorus hits, you’ll know you came to the right place.
.
hunter hunted – keep together (viceroy remix)
.
much much much to come,
B
this one. tellin ya.
get something with good bass. get through the v1. get through the chorus. and you tell me this isn’t the what song you wanted coming on.
.
portland – deezy daisy (oxford remix)
.
and we only just gettin in,
B
different zones lead to different vibes. one of the hardest parts of all this to negotiate.
but doin the best this dude can do to chart the vibe this evening.
so welcome to it.
let it fly to 1:04 and the rest takes care of itself:
.
disclosure feat. eliza doolittle – you & me (flume remix)
gonna be honest. this dude is not particularly proud of his last two posts.
but droughts come along and the show must go on.
so take a sec and check two dance tracks that warrant at least a once through for your workout mix:
.
icona pop – all night (cash cash remix)
.
zedd feat. haley williams of paramore – stay the night
.
get over it,
B
On the mark. No other way to put it.
Sunday night, this dude had the esteemed pleasure of witnessing one of the better shows I’ve seen in a long bit of a while. And it wasn’t one I went in to hyped beyond belief. That’s just honesty.
But sometimes its the sights that are least expected that become the true spectacle.
The matchup of Alpine and Empire of the Sun at 930 Club here in our nation’s fair capitol was nothing short of immaculate.
.
Alpine:
Melbourne-based lady pairing of Phoebe Baker and Lou James front this sextet of pure dreamy, guitar-driven love. From the kick, they set the mood that every opener hopes for. And the crowd couldn’t have been more down.
The band hasn’t gotten a ton of traction here in the states. Yet. But with their can’t miss sugary electro-pop vibe, recent iTunes’ Australian Alternative Album of the Year victory, requisite tiny desk concert appearance, and national tour with EotS, the ladies of Oz are set to fly.
.
alpine – gasoline
.
Empire of the Sun:
Then the big boys took the stage. And I gotta be real clear here. They killed.
Plain and simple.
From the moment Luke and Nick hit the hardboards, the room caught a heart pumping, face melting, intergalactic type of fire rarely experienced in this stuffy starched-out city.
The set kicked off with a series of tracks off the band’s recent Ice On The Dune release that’s seen the group skyrocket to the top of Billboard’s Club chart, blogs the world around, and just about any dancefloor you may have found yourself on this summer.
Throughout the hour and a half set, the kings of aussieland dropped hit after hit after hit. But beyond the bangers was the vibe of pure euphoria that seemed to fill the place from start to finish. It was the type of show that reminds you exactly why you love 930 club – what makes it one of the most special places to see a show that this dude’s ever been to. The band felt so close, such a part of the party. And everyone in the room was on one page dancing to one endless beat that lasted the whole set.
Bottom line, if you ever ever ever have the opportunity to see this band… you’ve got nothing better you should be doing.
.
empire of the sun – dna (calvin harris remix)
.
-final note-
following the devastating and untimely death of 930’s rock, josh burdette, on sunday night, the band took the stage monday night dedicating their set to his memory. rip josh. thanks for always keeping it safe and fun in there.
not sure how to put it in words. not sure the right ones are out there.
but if you’ve had the type of time this dude’s got, then this jam may be right up yer alley.
also, to be clear, at least 1/3 of my like for this remix is cuz of my love for the o.g.
.
ellie goulding – burn (maths time joy remix)
.
