Parov Stelar - The Phantom EP

Big news on the blog today... Or at least for me. I finally figured out the best way to bring you the best music I am hearing daily. Gone are the days of lame youtube videos still shots with music playing in the background.

From here on out you can visit my soundcloud page to stream the music that gets my blood pumping. Out of respect for the artist you will not be able to download these tracks but I highly recommend buying the music that you like there.

Speaking of buying some music, last night I was in heaven when I saw the new Parov Stelar available on emusic. The EP has three different versions of the new single but I think this 1930s version is the cats ass. In true Parov Stelar fashion it blends tasty electro with classic jazz and big band rhythm. Once again Parov Stelar drops another hit for me to wear out.

Parov Stelar

I have been listening to electronic music now for ten plus years and I
have never come across this Austrian producer. How? I browse the new
release section of emusic from time to time and stopped on the album
cover for Libella Swing a year ago. I am a sucker for good pop art. So I had to
take a listen... Upon listening to the first track I was so hooked.



I found out that Marcus Fureder is Parov Stelar. Then I learned that
this dude produced over a ton of tracks from down tempo, to house, to
breaks, to electro - and all with a twist of Jazz/Swing. When I see
this guy I picture the child of a famous jazz musician who grew up as
a club kid. Learned to make the music he partied to in his father's
studio. After hours he started collaborating with his dad's famous
buddies and birthed this music.



I have only found EP's and random albums for Parov Stelar until last night when I came across his new double cd Coco Part One and Two. The part one is more more downtempo while part two has the bpm turned way up. This is a hell of a double disk. Its a complete collection of his best tracks and a perfect album for a newby to his work.
