“Just a Memory” by Dirty Art Club

•May 16, 2013 • Leave a Comment

Some of you will probably recognize this tune. Anyway, Dirty Art Club originates from North Carolina and recently blew the electronic music community with their refreshingly new instrumental tracks that draw from every genre. In this case, jazz is the main player.

Buy on iTunes ($0.99).

“Eternal Infamy” by Dirty Elegance

•May 14, 2013 • Leave a Comment

Dark, melancholy and hauntingly epic melodies interwoven with city grit and prowess into the human easel of emotional experience, Dirty Elegance’s debut, Finding Beauty In The Wretched, takes its seat at the seminal table, innovatively capturing the depth of the human condition while maintaining a non-genre specific consistency.

“Crush” by Metaform

•May 9, 2013 • Leave a Comment

Another artist sampling Judy Clay and William Bell’s “Private Number” (produced in 1968!), but Metaform definitely puts a soothing, minimal twist to it. Other songs to incorporate this funky and groovy guitar sample are Pretty Light’s “Finally Moving” (the most famous), Nightmares on Wax’s “You Wish,” and Aim’s “Let the Funk Ride”.

Buy on Bandcamp ($0.50).

 

“Porcelain” by Moby

For a long time I was obsessed with this song. Moby blended a great variety of instruments and sounds together very well to create a very dreamy but exotic track. Definitely worth a listen.

Three longtime friends joined forces in late-summer 1999 in Washington, DC to form Time Machine. After completing the spontaneously crafted collaboration “Block Troopin’”, emcees Jaysonic, raised in Miami, and New Yorker, Comel, along with Rhode Islander, DJ Mekalek, decided that their undeniable collective musical chemistry deserved development, and thus, Time Machine was born.
