Michael Silver of CFCFhas released his first full-length album titled 'Continent' on Paper Bag Records and we've been given the opportunity to take a full listen. The spotlight was originally put on Silver after his his competition winning remix of Crystal Castles "Air War" hit the blogs, followed by a plethora of follow-ups that delivered exactly what his fans would expect. I don't think it wo...

Perhaps I came a little mentally unprepared for the Neon Indian / Crystal Castles show last night because I had NO idea it was going to be so epically loud and amazing. Its fair to say that Crystal Castles performance was the music equivalent of getting my teeth kicked in .. in a good way if that were even possible .. Imagine not being able to see who is playing - You hear the solid drum beat p...

It is truly a new day and age. People used to write love songs with metaphors about stars and roses and smiles that can melt a heart. Now, it seems the only things we know how to relate to are the video games and movies we grew up sitting in front of. Shame on us.But in all fairness to Sam Hart, this is a wonderful song. Playful, Cute, emotion-stirring. It just the emotions its stirring make me...

Well, at 1st the game seemed offensive to me. Being a DJ for 9 years now, it was like a hot wheels car to someone who collects original cars. "Just a toy." DJ Hero being just that, "a toy," it was fun. It did it's job as a toy, getting my attention and bringing back youthful excitement about something new and cutting edge (as far as toys go).To consider DJ Hero as an art is another thing though...

Photo by Melissa Moore for LAistFor weeks we've all been blasting the infectious single "Right Hand Hi," waiting in excitement for Chicago's own electro-rap superwoman, Kid Sister, to grace TILT LA with her presence, as part of the tour for her album, Ultraviolet, which drops November 17. Literally decked out in head-to-toe sequins: a sheer midriff top with sparkly bra, sequined baseball cap, a...

Now that DJ Hero is out, everybody with a gaming system is now going to claim to be a DJ. Somebody is gonna show up to the club with their Xbox 360 and expect to be taken seriously. Hey, one day that might actually be the case but not today. Be that as it may, I stumbled upon another DJ toy today, the idaft soundboard, which allows just about anybody to become the world's top DJ duo. Goodbye p...

To warm us up for the full-length album, Illumination, due out early next year, Miami Horror is back with "Sometimes," a dreamy, melodious track that happily encourages my resistance to the changing of the seasons. I know it's already almost November, but my seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and I wish it were the beginning of summer again. Benjamin Vanguarde and Co. make me want to "fly away,...

Tommie Sunshine of Brooklyn NY really sparked my interest in electro and has kept it going for me. In 2006 John B (Metalheadz/Beta Records) an Electro/Drum N Bass Producer introduced me to his Tommies Fiya remixes! He caught my attention by mashing his electro style with hot indie tunes, which not a lot of people were doing back then and if they were, they were not coming as correct as this NY ...

Great music can instantly teleport you without even having to think about it. Stephen Falken of the Valerie Collective does this without a doubt with his new album "Visions." It brings me back to arcades in the early 1980's. Back to a simpler time of green grids on computer screens and the images of an 84 ferrari tessterossa's, the dream car, in your mind. I must have had at least 3 hot wheels...

With past industry experience largely as a DJ/Rapper/Songwriter under alias Haircut, Andrew Mayer Cohen, or better known as Mayer Hawthorne seemed like an unlikely candidate for the revival of soul music. Lo and behold this 31 year old Michigan born artist may just be the much needed link to bring old and new soul alike together. Hawthorne today, Otis Redding tommorow - these kids wont even kno...

Yo Mao!That last rainy day post wasn't directed toward your post. In fact I only saw yours after I posted it. It was actually a response to people going crazy on my Facebook about the rain. REALLY it wasn't about the rain at all. It was about fickle people and how I am not like that.But anyway, your playlist is legit. I download em all. MUCH LOVEThis should help ease the pain.Clisby - Purple Ra...

Thank you Mr. Sunshine. Don't forget! Kid Sister will be coming to...

I might have woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or something but I am really getting pretty tired of the people in sunny southern California's overbearing reverence for the rain. Don't get me wrong. I don't mind an a rainy day or two. I realize we desperately need the water. I just don't appreciate people enjoying the rain so much. Its ugly outside and everybody gets sick or in ...

'Being rained in isn't always a bad thing, at least not if you live in California. It means one less day to worry about the infamous 'Santa Ana' winds kicking up a campfire. As for myself, I took this as an opportunity to bundle up and track down some mood appropriate tunes to get me to the weekend.Florence + The Machine - You've Got the Love (XX Remix)The Hours - See The Light (Calvin harris R...
