WATCHING @si_bonobo’s Martian music video for “Break Apart” + @MrJacobBanks

December 15, 2016 by morningaftershow

bonobo

Bonobo‘s new record, Migration, comes out on January 13th.

He released a music video for the second track called “Break Apart” (featuring Rhye).

This song is so cool.

This one came down the pipe from a singer called Jacob Banks.

The tracks “features new production from the Futuristics and a verse from Boogie.”

And I don’t want to be a super cry baby….I get that people need to eat….but man, my Cloud Nothings tickets arrived for their show at the Biltmore in February. $50 for a pair of tickets to see an indie rock band. Nuts. The service charge was almost as much as buying a third ticket!

How many sleeps till Christmas? Getting close! Can’t wait. I have some Island time in the forecast, so looking forward to a little holiday and catching up with Victoria friends and family.

Go with yourself.

Listening to The Strokes’ guitarist Nick Valensi’s band, @crxmusic

December 14, 2016 by morningaftershow

crx

The Strokes’ guitar player Nick Valensi was the last guy in the group to branch out into a side project called CRX. His group is named after the car that all the “cool kids” in my high school had.

Their style is something I think any Strokes fan could fall into. Jangly, upbeat, bratty, rock & roll.

The first single is called “Ways To Fake It.”

Their debut album, New Skin, was produced by Josh Homme. In their Rolling Stone review RS said, “Producer Josh Homme gives the album a humid garage-glam swagger especially when the tempos get dialed back.”

This one came down the old information superhighway. New York producer Teflon Sega, and their tasteful pixilated nudey “Beretta Lake.”

Future soul? Alright.

san-holo

San Holo‘s “Lights” is a rising electronic dance song.

The Dutch DJ is doing pretty good an indie electro party rocker. “ “Light” has sold 2,000 downloads, according to Nielsen Music, since its Nov. 22 release … despite being available for free on his website.”

Ruth from Minnesota sent over this remix by WRLD.

Bright, blue skies, sunny, and cold in Vancouver this week! I wish I could say I had some fun plans, but mostly DJing into the weekend before starting a mini-holiday to Vancouver Island on Sunday.

Go with yourself.

Checking out the sweaty punk rocking new music video from @themenzingers

December 12, 2016 by morningaftershow

menzingers
Philly punks The Menzingers will release their new record, After The Party, on February 3rd (Epitaph Records).

They sent over their new music video for the lead single “Lookers.”

“High-energy and warmly nostalgic, “Lookers” finds the Menzingers paying tribute to their time spent in Asbury Park, weaving in images of smoke-filled diners and Jersey-girl heartbreakers.”

Black and White, live punk footage, tour van.

The Menzingers follow up album to 2014’s Rented World will also include a lot of mile son that tour van. No tour dates in the Pacific Northwest though. I get it….it rains here. I’d stay in California too.

2017 is shaping up to be a good year for rock & roll. So many albums I’m excited to hear as soon as the calendar changes over to January.

Pre-orders for After The Party are available here: https://lnk.to/TMaftertheparty

AFTER THE PARTY TRACKLIST:

1. Tellin’ Lies
2. Thick as Thieves
3. Lookers

I like this spin on @KFlay’s “Blood In The Cut” by @lashdjs + “We Don’t Talk Anymore”

December 12, 2016 by morningaftershow

lash-djs

Lash DJs are a couple young producers from the Dominican Republic. Their remix of K. Flay’s “Blood in the Cut” came down my soundcloud feed and I had to hit play.

“Blood In The Cut” is currently the number one song on Canadian modern rock radio and one of the few rock jams I dare through into my DJ sets. This remix should offer me some greater opportunities to find a slot for it.

I’m throwing in this “We Don’t Talk Anymore” remix because it is pretty good, and has a bunch of spins…over a million on Soundcloud? That’s pretty good. Wait, that’s awesome.

Go with yourself.

***Oh bonus K. Flay remix****

DJ Boitano sent over his fave K Flay remix.

Christmas electronic chill from @filous. “Let It Snow”

December 12, 2016 by morningaftershow

filous

Chill Christmas beats from 19-year-old Austrian producer filous. We’ll remember filous from his real nice Hollow Coves remix last fall.

On this track, “Let It Snow,” Matthais Oldofredi crafts a very subtle spin on the Christmas standard. The song delivers maximum chill for a frosty night. With the cold temperatures and Christmas vibes I’m experiencing in Vancouver right now, I love it.

Billboard describes the song “a beautiful, heart-wrenching song featuring vocals from Buster Moe alongside a knee-slapping beat and tons of harmonica.”

This song is going in my holiday set.

Go with yourself.

A couple remixes on a SNOW DAY! An @DesiFrenzy bhangra remix of Bruno Mars & @KygoMusic spins Starboy

December 5, 2016 by morningaftershow

snow-day

SNOW DAY! It rains a ton in Vancouver but it rarely snows…especially downtown which is right on the ocean. But today, we are getting a nice dusting.

I have a could remixes to share.

I DJ most every weekend at Match Pub in New West…Friday had a group of Pharmacists from Surrey partying and few wanted Indian music. I have a few songs but it is not a strength of my playlist. Some folks sent me a few requests and remixes like this beauty.

DJ Frenzy blasting a Bhangra style of popular Indian music with Bruno Mars “24K Magic.” I am getting to the point where I am also recognizes some of the Indian music in this mix. Neat.

Kygo…remixing one of the top songs out right now. You get it.

SNOW DAY!

70s Zimbabwean band The Green Arrows

December 2, 2016 by morningaftershow

green arrows.jpg

It feels like a long time ago now….and it probably was along time ago…but back in time, Brendan Canning of Broken Social Scene was in Victoria and we thought it would be fun if we handed the radio over to him for an hour of vinyl record Disc Jockery. It was a cool hour and one song he played has stayed with me to this day and I still find excuses to play it (currently as a music bed at CFOX).

The band was called The Green Arrows and they are from Zimbabwe. I think he said he found the record while shopping on his tour in Winnipeg. (maybe I’m making that part up?)

Go with yourself.
