Sleepless

I sort of slept on Lo-Fi-Fnk's return until tonight...I mean I heard Marchin' In, didn't really care, and then moved on.

I don't know what I was thinking. After a second, third, fourth, etc. listen I still can't get enough. It is infectiously catchy in a really non-contrived almost naive way. Basically it is really fun good-vibes music. So here is the latest single, and it doesn't disappoint either. Synth sax? Yea they went there. It sort of reminds me of the strange use of sax in Marie Moor's "Pretty Day," except I am pretty certain that was a real saxophone. This is the sort of thing that will have any dancefloor composed of half-decent human beings grinning ear to ear.

Xinobi!

From the latest release by Lisbon-based collective Discotexas, "Forbidden Cuts EP," is Xinobi's new track "Valsa in NJ." I have no idea what the song has to do with my home state of New jersey, but this is one of the funkiest tracks I have heard in a while. I am absolutely loving this one. I played it out on a big system for the first time this past weekend and I was blown away.

Bag Raiders Remixed

I'm a bit late on this one but I don't care; its funky enough to warrant a late post. Also Thelonius Crunk & co. believe that good music has a lifespan of >1 month, unlike a lot of the bloggers out there [just a matter of taste. no offense intended yall]. So here is Bag Raiders' "Shooting Star" with Shazam, one of my favorite producers, on remix duty. He serves up an intense 70's esque funked out coke jam. Enjoy.
