Five Four Fridays. #8

The weekend is finally here and what an insane week it has been. Massive amounts of tasty (and not so tasty) elixirs all week leading up to my birthday, and on my big day my roommate and I somehow mustered up the energy to get to the Porter Robinson show that I’d bought tickets for a month in advance. It was a rough ride into the city, but I’m so glad that I managed to see him rock out. Honestly, one of the greatest sets I’ve ever heard, and he was just loving every second of it. Really gave the whole show a great vibe.

To match the insanity of the week, here is a bundle of new tracks with obscene amounts of bass to help you go nuts this weekend. I’ve been itching to post these all week so I seriously hope you enjoy them as much as I will. Enough with the chit chat, get to fist pumping (if that’s what you’re into).

Pump on,

Grant.

Porter Robinson – Unison (Mikkas Remix) [Mediafire]

Felguk – Blow Out (Lazy Rich Remix) [Mediafire]

The Noisy Freaks – Dream Team (Mashup) [Mediafire]

Steve Aoki – Earthquakey People (Dillon Francis Remix) [Mediafire]

Feed Me – What You Know (Two Door Cinema Club Cover) [Mediafire]

Bonus Radio Rip.

Swedish House Mafia & Knife Party – Antidote (Vocal Version) [Mediafire]

Bonus Preview.

When I interviewed Rich, he was in the middle of working on this track, and oh my goodness what a track it is. Cannot wait for the official release on November 29th. Same with quite a few HUGE tracks that he’ll be releasing over the next couple months. On his fan page earlier this week he revealed some of the tracks by saying “there is a Chris Lake remix that you will hear on my radio show on thursday, a remix for Morgan Page (tiny sample in that video), a remix for Zedd, a remix for Porter Robinson (that is sounding “WOWWWW omgggg holy shit man” according to Porter) and a collab with Chris Lake, plus some other new originals, and a very special secret remix that I can’t mention yet.” Do I need to reiterate why he is one of my favourite producers of all time?

Chris Lake – Sundown (Lazy Rich Remix) [Preview]

Double Bonus of sheer unconfirmed insanity.

Skrillex & Feed Me – Loud Noises (Unconfirmed) [Mediafire]

Making up for lost time passed and to come.

I’ll admit it, I’ve been pretty lazy with this blog for the past week. Please don’t get mad, but I am probably not going to post any more music until next week. I’m heading to Crankworx tomorrow in the afternoon and I don’t think it would be wise of me to bring my laptop along. Because of this, I’m going to hook you up with a bunch of new summer tunes to hold you over until then.

Please don’t hate me,

Grant.

Bibio is the alias of Stephen Wilkinson, a British producer who usually spends his time dabbling in electronic and experimental music. His most recent record, Mind Brokeh, is definitely worth having a listen to. Don’t beleive me? Hit play on the first track below. Don’t be fooled by the slow and nostalgic intro as this is definitely a summer jam worth having on tap.

Bibio – Lovers’ Carvings [Mediafire]

Bibio – K Is For Kelson [Mediafire]

These next guys released their debut five track EP about three months ago and it makes the perfect summer driving soundtrack. Their laid back, dreamy, afro-guitar sound could be taken straight out of a sixties surf film. Does it surprise you to learn that they’re from San Diego?

Dirty Gold – California Sunrise [Mediafire]

Dirty Gold – Quiet Life [Mediafire]

Just in case if you were wondering if they could play this song just as well live.

Dirty Gold – Quiet Life (Live In NY)

I have already posted about this young Swede hailing from the city of Malmö. Just in case you missed it, all you need to know is that his originals and remixes are enough to put you in an almost drug induced state of relaxation.

Summer Heart – Please Stay

Work Drugs – Rad Racer (Summer Heart Remix) [Mediafire]

Anthony Gonzales is the name of the incredible musician who was behind the making of this incredible track. He hails from Antipales in France and has been making music for many, many years. He is releasing a new record called Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming on October 18th, but after hearing this first unleashed single, October isn’t coming fast enough.

M83 – Midnight City [Mediafire]

I cannot stress how much I love this song. It’s the same story with these guys as M83, except the album is out late August.

Bombay Bicycle Club – Shuffle [Mediafire]

I know absolutely nothing about Fortunetellers besides the simple fact that this track will put a bounce in your step. You can buy their EP for only one US Dollar on their Bandcamp. To all of my fellow Canadian readers, take advantage of that exchange rate.

Fortunetellers – Make It Easy [Mediafire]

A reggae cover of a country classic. Need I say more?

Toots & The Maytals – Take Me Home, Country Roads (John Denver Cover) [Mediafire]

Do you really think that I can go a month without posting about the Remix Artist Collective? As always, André Anjos has done it again and wowed the music world with his obvious talent. I swear he has a bag of of pixie dust because he continually transforms amazing songs into something even better.

Theophilus London ft. Sara Quin – Why Even Try (RAC Mix) [Mediafire]

Ellie Goulding – Lights (RAC Mix)

This one was from about four months ago now, but just in case you missed it, it deserves a listen.

Two Door Cinema Club – Something Good Can Work (RAC Mix) [Mediafire]

Happy St. Patty’s.

Yes, St. Patrick’s day is here. For the Irish, it is a day to celebrate and be merry. For the rest of the world, it’s an excuse to have a few too many pints on a Thursday night.

I myself have partly Irish blood pumping through my veins, but as usual, I’ll be stuck at work the majority of the night. That hasn’t ever stopped me from celebrating when it is necessary. See you on the streets sometime around eleven. Here are some songs from some wicked Irish people in the meantime.

Bottoms up,

Grant.

 

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – Irish Celebration

Two Door Cinema Club – Something Good Can Work

U2 – Magnificent (RAC Mix)

Stiff Little Fingers -Koka Kolonisation
