It Came From the Cloud - The Lempo and JapWow Project

The lempo and Japwow Project - Street Sounds by JapWOW

The second installment of the weekly Soundcloud project got delayed by work of all things. You would think that traveling would be a perfect time to search soundcloud for new and amazing artists but it is totally not. Inconsistent hotel internet connections and long hours driving in the car do wonders to kill all motivation for working on the blog. Well enough with the excuses and on to the music!

I have been following The Lempo and JapWow project for a few months now on soundcloud. They began 2011 with a bang by releasing an incredible hot mixtape in early January. To be specific, it is their very first mixtape and consists mostly of their original remixes.

Mike McGuiness and Nina Japwow are from Manchester, Englad. They are doing some really interesting stuff with house music these days. Their music consists of jazz and swing standards screwed and chopped to house beats. I love that they use Gypsy and Bollywood influence in some the tracks as well. For having 8 months of airtime on soundcloud, it is a shame that most of their tracks haven't gotten more play.

For now their music will be our little secret but I guarantee that it won't be for long. I could totally hear these beats shaking the dance floors in the USA and the UK. Until next week, enjoy!

It Came From the Cloud - Fare Soldi

I am very excited to announce a new venture this year with SmithBlogsAtlanta and DeadJournalist - It came from the Cloud. Each week we are going to bring you the very best SoundCloud has to offer by featuring an in depth look at my favorite artists on this unbelievable site.

Stevie Wonder - Superstition (Fare Soldi Zupparstition rmx) by FARE SOLDI

Last Month I released my first mixtape of my favorite soundcloud artists. I found it extremely hard to just pick one song per artist and it got me thinking about a weekly post like this. Luckily DeadJournalist was receptive to the idea and here we are.

Duran Duran - Rio (Fare Soldi "Sposerò Simon Le Bon" rmx) by FARE SOLDI

I have been fans of Fare Soldi for at least two years now. The thing I love about this Italian duo is that they have a definite "sound." Not matter what genera they are remixing, you can hear a track and instantly pick them out. Santana Pasta and Luka Carnifull got a cool disco / house vibe that make sitting still while listening to their music impossible. They can take the biggest sounds in electronic music and make them better.

Barbra Streisand- Duck Sauce (Fare Soldi - Duck Soldi rmx) by FARE SOLDI

Fare Soldi isn't only just about remixes though. Their production tracks can be heard throughout the dance floors of Europe and the USA. They have the ability to bring that disco feel without sounding dated. Their music would work as good in the 70's and 80's as it does today. Make sure you listen to all their soundcloud tracks because there is just too much great music by them to fit in one post. They also have some fantastic mixtapes if your in the mood as well.
