The old world’s gone mad, not many things that will keep us sane, and surely it won’t be music but maybe it can at least be what it’s originally intended for – maybe it can soundtrack your daily shitposting. And surely it won’t be any celebs illuminating our minds, be it musicians or the self-righteous Hollywood elite with their double standards, who are constantly chakra-fucking the masses with their moral superiority. Pretty easy to preach down when you are a filthy rich millionaire and are so out of touch with reality, that you are actually doing the very same thing that you are condemning. So last month the oscars happened and a couple of other things that generations before us cared about and that used to be big in the last century – you probably forget it already while facebook is napalming your perception of reality & yourself perpetually. It’s nice to see it all fade out and funny to monitor social media’s censorship and super entertaining to dive into different social media demographics & age groups, that have such a clearer and better view of reality. “They live (1986)” was a documentary!

Ps parts of Paris have been burning for a full month now.

The same blindness applies to us, the well-connected, globalized, urban, cultural elitists. We live a somewhat privileged, well isolated life and can always escape situations that make us feel uncomfortable or are even dangerous, but that is only the flight or fight part of our brain at work. As well as making continuous decisions on non-critical thinking, but based on empathy/ sympathy. I think my generation is almost completely lost, but that’s not so bad bc the children truly are the future and they are not ready to carry our self imposed ideological cross, that was actually nothing more but a ghetto for our minds, any further. It was a way to keep the useful idiots brainbugged and struggling for the opposite and entirely deceitful purpose. But instead of riding the spice merchant horse any further, let us get into our super-dank monthly top tunes, and if you happen to not like a tune, it must be the Russian Hackers again…. reeeeeeeee

An Ode To Erykah Badu. Tereza pres. Baduology [Mixtape]

Tereza with a nice tribute to Erykah Badu in celebration of her Birthday and the 20th anniversary of her outstanding debut Album ‘Baduizm’. Fine wine of a mix and i like the exclusive remixes within, but i’m missing the Free Download Button here.

BADUOLOGY is my personal ode to the ‘analogue girl in the digital world’ in celebration of the 20th anniversary of her debut album ‘Baduizm’ which is still one of my all-time-favorite LPs. It features some of Queen E’s most significant work from the past two decades, alongside songs sampled on Badu records as well as unique skits and blends, all edited and mixed by myself.

The most special thing about it? It contains 14 exclusive contributions from some of my favorite producers / vocalists! S/o Bluestaeb // Brenk Sinatra // Dexter // Duktus // IAMNOBODI // Kabuki // Klimeks // Luka // Masego // Noah Slee // Serious Klein // S.Fidelity // Silkersoft // Thallus

SAVAGE AF ::: Xloxlyp & Flamongo & Hartry “Drifting”

Savage af !

maxresdefault 11

Brilliant little gem here. Really caught my attention the 3rd or 4th time i heard it. As simple as it is, this is a super welcome change of pace, even though using the commonly featured elements known from current and past trap & future bass tracks, it has something very organic and juicy about it. Really hard for me to put my finger on, even though describing music, one is always super tempted to point towards the gracious tender vocals or the uber awesome production. None of that really applies, even though i am super digging the arrangement and the way her vocals just drift (no pun) and glide across the simple but super effective beat. Gosh i actually love the vocals. While everybody’s going the Chainsmokers route and/or the super played Future Bass approach. This track is not jumping on the bandwagon. Ps watch it work on the dance floor, it has that raw gritty element that all those lip gloss future bass tracks are missing, while it still sounds super easy on the ear. You can tell i dig this tune — mucho. And what i think strikes a chord with me is that it’s the perfect balance between Macho Man Randy Savage & Miss Elizabeth —> Savage af

Currently my favourite tune when playing action packed games! This track gets my full stoned gamer state of mind approval & certificate. According to iTunes i listened to “Drifting” 69 times last Saturday while revisiting Arkham City. kek

ps i really hope you guys have more tracks like this in the works, you need to feed the hunger ;)

Add it to your Spotify and put it on repeat!

Mark Morrison – Return Of The Mack (Seeb Remix)

I never thought i’d listen to the track again. Return of the mack was just played out & over abused by remixers for the last 15 years. So surprise, here’s a solid remix released by my buddies at TVG. Scandinavian prod unit Seeb delivers a good remix of the classic Morrison track and i guess it’ll pop up at least on a few floors and playlists.

This track keeps running on repeat! Ninski & HtPkt – Running (ft. Bri Tolani)

Here’s one more story to show how blessed I am in having a job like this here. Of course from time to time you feel like you have no enthusiasm at all, no connection to the things you do daily, or the days are just grey, grey, grey…  and it feels like your goals will never be achieved.  Mostly right at that point is where I can’t ignore my own thoughts that get bigger and louder asking for other adventures, questioning my daily being, judging myself for not looking deeper and being afraid of the passing of time. Right at this exact point along comes a song like this. A song that reminds you directly of your true path. To listen and support other people. That’s what i do best and what i enjoy the most. I want to thank our close friend wolfskind for introducing us to Ninski with his excellent Remix for wolfskind’s ‘Stone Cold Thriller‘ . So this one here is already his second release on Tanz Dich Glücklich – keep up the good work young jedi! …and thank you for showing us the bright sight of life with this collabo tune :)

HtPkt’s original Running was already a song we had on our radar, but before we could even flinch, this remix shows up by the two of them. I think the future has great things in mind for these two craftsmen, who are still both experimenting in many waters it seems, but at this early stage already show some serious talent. And not to forget Bri Tolani with her beautiful floating vocal tones and emotionally charged intonations. Her work ethic and dedication will sooner or later pay off big time. And i can tell that she is busy hardworking one, bc we just did another song with her. A somehow weird and bizarre, but super danceable Ace Of Base Cover, and Bri’s work ethic was superb. It’s always perseverance that makes the difference between failure and success, between losing and winning. In any case this track, and all three protagonists are a WIN!

ps not to be misogynistic here we are in the right order ;)
