That other music thing
Yes, it's time to unload the backlog again.

First, an 11-track mash of awesome and love. DJ Schmolli's fourth "Pirate Nation" collection has ten full tracks and one demo preview that range from the very modern and electronic way back to classic rock and roll and metal. I've only had time to listen to it once so far but I think the standout for me is going to be the Ellie Goulding/Martin Solveig mash at the core of "I Like The Lights Out".

Panic Girl's latest is a nice mix of light and almost trancey vocal-pop but with a breathy dark underside. I've seen her music described as beautiful, dark, and fragile and all seem apt in varying degrees here. She's definitely at her best when it's stripped down and just her singing with the piano.

Thissongissick has been posting a ton to Soundcloud and this electro-house banger called "Murika" by Disco Fries (https://www.myspace.com/discofriesmusic#!) is one of my favorites of the past week. It's a song with a varied profile, not the typical steady-thump of house, almost a sampler of different styles. And yes, it's got a wub middle but I find myself liking it and bopping along despite the wub. The transition at about 3 minutes in is a genius move.

I had to blog this, if only because it amused the hell out of me for its use of Dan Balan, about whom I blogged in 2010. It's a nice five-way mash from Marc Johnce, with a fun Latin dance feel. But, really, can you resist going back and re-watching "Chica Bomb" after that? I couldn't.

The Italians really are rolling in the nu-disco this year. This is "Later 1982" by Fab Mayday (https://soundcloud.com/fabmayday) an Italian DJ and art director for several clubs - or so says his profile. This track mixes in a fair amount of retro europop sound which gives it a bit more edge than other nu disco tracks I've heard lately. This one sounds like a club opener - the kind of thing you'd play as people are filing in - it's extensive but not intrusive, and energetic without being too high BPM.

Another Thissongissick premiere, this one is tonally more relaxed than the previous banger, but still pretty driven. It's labeled "progressive house" and you can definitely hear the electronic influences, but it also rolls in some very heavy drums and male vocals that sound straight out of a 1970s-era rock ensemble. It's an interesting blend of styles that comes from the artists: Vicetone are a Dutch house duo who are working here with Nico Vega (http://nicovega.com/), an LA-area hard rock indie quartet. They got some minor fame recently as their song "Beast" was used in a BioShock Infinite game trailer and apparently also in a trailer for the movie Reacher, or so says Wikipedia.
