Mylo + The Juan Maclean (Dance, Electronica, Experimental, New Wave )

I heart new music! When I heard about the release of Mylo’s new single “I’m Back” I went searching. What I found was pretty much what I expected. Solid gold. BBC Radio One premiered the song under the enclosing statement Mylo used, which was, “I’m Back.” As a result the mix took on this name. Therefore, Mylo’s “I’m Back,” may actually be entitled something completely different. Either way, this new piece from Mylo is sick. If you like what you hear check out Otto’s Journey and Drop the Pressure on Hype Machine.

Now that I have that out of my head. I get to talk about The Juan Maclean. Representing New York he’s currently on tour in Europe. His music is real chill. Marcus Worgull capitalized on his stuff by mixing the track “Simple Life.” In addition, I’ve posted some of The Juan Maclean’s own stuff. Check out “Give Me Every Little Thing.” It’s softer yet offers a heavy bass that can’t keep you still. Simply put, it’s kickass.

Kanye (Dance, Disco, Electro, Electronica, Pop)

You can hate on Kanye West all you want but his resume speaks for itself. At age 30, he is a ten-time Grammy Award winning rapper, singer and record producer. Since beginning his career, Kanye has received 36 awards amongst 114 nominations. In 2008 he released his fourth album in five years. Prior to going solo, Kanye gained fame by producing for Roc-A-Fella Records creating hit singles for Alicia Keys, Ludacris, and Janet Jackson. His work on Jay-Z’s phonomenol album, The Blueprint catapulted him into stardom. In 2007 Kanye West’s album Graduation defeated the much hyped 50 Cent’s Curtis in CD sales. When both albums released on the same day, a confident 50 cent publicly announced that he would retire if West outsold him in first-week sales. Kanye West won selling 957,000 units to 50′s 691,000 units causing a media frenzy. So needless to say… Kanye can hold his own.

Diplo is also pretty damn cool. From what I see on their myspace, videos included, is that they know how to put on a show. But stage performance isn’t everything. To prove it, and coincidentally staying with the theme, they have released a Kanye West remix to “Flashing Lights.” I have to have to give props to erger for hooking me on this one. I think it’s brilliant!

Being in the mood I thought I should freshen up the old retro playlist. Scavenging the world wide web for new tunes, I found a really cool twist on Ace of Base’s classic 90s song “All That She Wants.”

Next is a classy mix of ZZZ by the Bag Raiders. It has become one of my new favourites to toss on during some homework or even just to kill some silent air. The piano in the song really accompanies the mix well. I think its a gem, which isn’t bad being only a few weeks into ’09.
