Bon Iver - Calgary (Flip & Rodsten Edit)

Bon Iver - Calgary (Flip & Rodsten Edit) by flip

Flip and Rodsten decided to take the warm and soothing vocals of Bon Iver and spread them all over some haunting disco sounding house beats. I think this is my fist ever Bon Iver remix post. I hope to hear more. Such a perfect combination!

Fare Soldi - Capri Sonne Mix 2011

Capri Sonne mix 2011 by FARE SOLDI

I don't know if I have ever heard an electro masterpiece start out with a beat box. Fari Soldi take no time dropping into their "Yo! Raps Remix" of Mothers of Charleston song "Taxi Driver". From Beat Box to Hip Hop to Frisco Disco they get things started fast and furious.

I look forward to the Fare Soldi Carpi Sonne Mix every year. Its always jammed packed with their completely original and unique remixes. They also feature the hottest sounds out right now.

Case and point is the Roy Booge Brukup of Michael Jackson's "Remember the Time". Remember the Time is probably my least favorite Michael Jackson song. Something about the video left a bad taste in my mouth still many years later. I can't get the horrible image of Michael dancing around as an pharaoh out of my head. But when they dropped this track, I literally was frozen in disbelief. Not only was it good but it fit Fare Soldi's crazy ass sound perfectly.

Capri Sonne 2011 picks up right where they left it last year. If you start listening in your cubical make sure your co-workers are not around. Trust me, I have gotten more than one funny look as I fidgeted uncontrollably in my seat as Fare Soldi pumped through my headphones. I can't wait to get in my car, roll down the windows, turn it up and enjoy the open rode. I hope you enjoy this beauty of a mixtape as much I have in the past 24 hours...

Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus (Alex Metric Remix)

Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus (Alex Metric Remix) by alexmetric

It makes me happy that songs from my youth have not been forgotten. Granted I was only 10 when this song was released back in '89 but I was old enough to appreciate it. Terrific remix by the one and only Alex Metric.

Rusko - Everyday (Video)

Rusko - Everyday from Mad Decent on Vimeo.

Rusko & Mad Decent are back with a new single. Everyday is a little of a departure from the slow, bass driven, dubstep bangers that we are accustomed to hearing from Rusko. This track has some Trance elements that we got glimpses of in the first album. Great track, even better video... Eagerly looking forward to the new album.

The KO Hip Hop Cello Beat Box

At some point I will pick my jaw up off the floor...

Jayou - Manga Riddim

Jayou - Manga Riddim by JAYOU

When listening to this new Jayou joint I keep seeing Cosby doing his shuffle. I hope both of these goodies bring a smile to your face...

It Came From the Cloud: Monday Mixtape Edition

This fantastic mixtape from Anoraak is right in my wheel house of music. When I was younger, I used to think my brother's taste in House music was so lame. It was "old guy" electronic music for me. I used to think, what's with all these vocals and two step beats? At that time I was listening to furious drum and bass. The grimier the bass lines and the faster the beats; the better. Talk about polar opposites! This House music was for old people... Fast forward ten years and now I am that old guy and feel bad for dissing my brother.

So what exactly am I talking about and what does it have to do with this mixtape. Let me first say that this mixtape is not house music centered but features some smooth vocals. It starts out fairly poppy with some crossover electronic music. Anoraak then progress into some serious dance music of the disco/house/electro variety to finish it off. These types of tracks suit my old man ears I guess. The most complimentary thing I could say is if I were to make a mixtape, these are the types of tracks I would play. It has been on repeat for the last three weeks and I hope you check it out...

Anoraak is an electronic/pop artist from France with two great full length albums under his belt. Djing isn't his main stick but he does an really awesome job putting this mixtape together.

Whitest Boy Alive - 1517 (Young Edits Extended Dance Edit) by Young Edits // Youth

Its not every day that you stumble upon a Whitest Boy Alive Remix so this is definitely worth posting. Happy Friday everyone! I hope you enjoy the tunes. Sorry for the lack of activity over here on blogger. Tumblr has been consuming most of my blogging time. I love the instant feedback. For me having post go viral is one of the coolest blogging experience that I have experience. If you haven't checked out my "other" site, come visit me at http://smithblogsatl.tumblr.com/

LCD Soundsystem - Dance Yrself Clean (Unofficial Video)

I am fairly sure Jim Henson would of not approved of this video but maybe Lcd Soundsystem would. It makes me smile every time I watch it. Something about Muppets getting trashed on the beach is hilarious to me....

Light Painting Wi-Fi

Immaterials: Light painting WiFi from Timo on Vimeo.

I have wondered what Wireless signals look like from a visual standpoint. Now I know. Some really, really interesting video and photography.

The XX - Islands (Den5hion Remix)

Islands (den5hion remix) by den5hion

Working on a massive WMC blogpost from my time in Miami last week. Currently hooking up my youtube page with all the video I took down South. That probably won't be ready for a few more days so I leave you in the more than capable hands of Den5hion. I featured this dude on my It Came From The Cloud Volume Two and am loving the remixes he is banging out. I am a sucker for anything redone for The XX. This is one of the more interesting remixes with the latin inspired beats and accordion overlays.

Fare Soldi - Ryskee "Horror of Love" Remix

I won't be back on the blog until Monday but I wanted to leave you with some tunes to at least get you though the afternoon. Fare SOldi just dropped this remix one day ago on their soundcloud page. As always, its fun and carefree. Enjoy.

RZA - Gab-Gotcha "Japan" - Tsunami Memorial Track

Gab-Gotcha "Japan" by RZAWU

Japan has been in my thoughts and prayers since I woke up Friday in horror. I couldn't believe I was watching entire towns being washed away.

I blog about music and try to keep this blog clutter free. No one cares what I ate for breakfast or the most recent "hardship" at work. Basically all of that non-sense is a bunch of bullshit when you think about real hardships, like your town or city being washed away.

When I was 13 I learned the hard way what it was like to lose everything. I rode out an 8 hour category five hurricane that left me shipwrecked and homeless on a deserted island. When we were rescued I had my family, our dog, and the clothes on my back. I was alive. I still had family and we had relatives that housed us when we returned to the states.

In Japan there are survivors that have the clothes on their back. Whole families have been washed to sea and their relatives homes went with them. In retrospect, I was very lucky. I can't imagine the pain an entire country is dealing with in the days since the waves.

I found the RZA on Soundcloud just a few minutes ago before I started writing this blog post. He released a Tsunami inspired track two hours ago. It beautiful and reflective. It also allows me a music forum to express my prayers for the Japanese. God bless the thousands that perished last week.

Rick Ross - Hustlin' (Jayou Remix)

Rick Ross - Hustlin' (Jayou Remix) by JAYOU

SBA favorite Jayou has got some ridiculous new music that you got to hear. The beats are hot and the bass is low. Hustlin' has been remixed 1000x but I have never heard it like this...

The Hood Internet - Journey vs Kayne West

The Hood Internet - Runawayfully (Kanye West x Journey) by hoodinternet

I almost hate posting this track because I really don't want to show all my cards. I am working on the second volume of "It Came From the Cloud: A SmithBlogsAtlanta Compilation" and I am fairly certain that this track is going to make the final cut. It's to0 great to keep it to myself for another week while I work on the compilation. For now enjoy and maybe you will see this track very shortly in compilation form too!

Kiev - Loot Recovered (Video and Download)

Kiev was described to me as, "If Radiohead was from Orange County and a Jam Band..." That is actually a very accurate of the quintet's music and vibe. These five have been playing together for years but finally have made their mark with the release of the EP, "Ain't No Scary Folks In On Around Here." It randomly got into my hands and I am not letting go of this one. I linked to a free download of their track "Crooked Strings" if you want to check them out. In the mean time enjoy them live...
