Golden Coast – Recess

bla

Man… I am in a rainy part of Eastern Europe…. the other day I went quadding with some friends and I drove through a fucking wasp’s nest! No joke. Those little bastards got into  our pants, socks even, shirts…I got stung a dozen or so times and in my panicked top speed driving, crashed into a tree and fell down an embankment. This Golden Coast song is exactly what I needed right now because I am still in pain, all my damn clothes are soaked, and I wish I could be in the sun with a damn coconut and some tanned booty passing me by. At least I can turn up the lights in my house, lay down and pretend. Thank you guys for making good escape music for my sorry ass.

Screen Shot 2016-08-21 at 9.17.44 PM

I am traveling Eastern Europe right now and let me tell ya… There is definitely many a things in the fuckin water. The other day I drank some well water that just must have been fucked by a diseased donkey or something. I went for a jog, and that ended early. I been pretty much writing posts on the goddamn loo since then. There is a pun about having a shitty job here somewhere… Anyways, whiteboy here got soul yo. peep.

Chnsmkrs – Clsr (Aash Mehta Flip)

Screen Shot 2016-08-21 at 12.45.35 AM

I have said this in my prior posts about how I could give a fuck about Halsey.

But my conscience always plays on me when I’m like, “maaannn fuck this song” at the expense of the artist that is flipping it etc. If it’s a good enough remix, I am going to be the bigger man (yeah that’s right, I identify as a man. Get over it), anyways the homie on the remix did his thing. Peep.

Big Gigantic – All Of Me (Feat. Logic & Rozes)

Big Gigantic are basically what got me into the funk/electronic hybrid genre to begin with. Rocking a solid setup of saxophone, electronics and live drums, the duo have been dominating the North American festi scene and other cornerstone venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre for years now, carving their niche into a scene of blown out progressive house producers and the like.

Their unique and positive vibe is another aspect of the BG family that sets them apart. Boasting a large audience of community oriented music-lovers, the duo promote togetherness and enjoyment through live music and friendship. I find this very interesting as most electronic music scenes are very exclusive and almost alienating, in a way.

The new single features one of my favourite MC’s Logic. The title of the single is All of Me, and I highly recommend checking it out – slightly more of a chill vibe than their most recent releases, the new joint touches base on some RnB / HipHop vibes with bars-o-plenty, absolutely worth the 5-second click over to their Soundcloud page to check it out!

Oktavian – Liar

Screen Shot 2016-08-20 at 11.16.34 PM

Oktavian has been on my radar since day 1. This boy has more soul than your Jamacian Grandmother’s fried chicken recipe. I don’t need to talk too much about this song. And normally I don’t. Normally I just talk about myself, like for example, today I got stung by a bee right inside my fucking ear. And I am still bothering checking out new music,  with my goddamned earbuds. It’s a tough job here but somebody on a laptop at a cafe with absolutely no fucking job or plans for the future, has to do it.

SHORTLIST | 1

The theme of this weeks shortlist is simple: DANCE. Funky and slow or energetic and fast, here are some tracks that I’ve been getting down to*.

*Getting down may or may not be me singing in the shower to random Spotify playlists…

These songs really caught my attention for a few reasons: 1. Recyclable – I’ve basically had most these songs on repeat for almost a week now. 2. Unique – I try to choose songs that don’t sound EXACTLY like every other song out there. 3. My Soundcloud feed is simply flooded with them, so it’s honestly hard to escape! In a good way.

Flamingosis – Make Me Late For Breakfast

The Funk Hunters & Chali 2na – WORD TO SPREAD feat. Tom Thum

Pegboard Nerds & NGHTMRE – Superstar Feat. Krewella (DNMO Remix)

The Chainsmokers – Closer Ft. Halsey (Gill Chang Remix)

Criminal feat. Los Rakas & Far East Movement (Navaz Remix)

And thus concludes today’s edition of the SHORTLIST! Follow FC on Facebook, Soundcloud and Twitter for frequent updates on what’s good.

The Chainsmokers – Closer Ft. Halsey (Gill Chang Remix)

Screen Shot 2016-08-19 at 8.38.26 AM

I once knew a guy named Alex Chang. He tried to bully me when I was an immigrant to Canada. Not knowing that I was from a very poor part of Eastern Europe. After a couple tries of harassing me, we went behind the school to fight it out. I was about ten years old. All the kids lined up and they even went through the trouble of checking my pockets for knives. LOL. When the fight began, he started tugging at my wool sweater that my mom made me. This being my favorite sweater, really set me off. I grabbed him by the throat with one hand, jabbed him in both eyes with my fingers from my other hand. When he started screaming like a little bitch, I used my eyejabby hand to grab the other side of his little throat. I squeezed till he hit the ground, his eyes rolled back and he was trying to breathe. I stuffed a huge fucking pinecone into his mouth that was laying right beside his head and got up and kicked him in the chin lol. He bled from the mouth as I walked away victorious, scared for my life and happy he didn’t fuck up my mom’s hard work. I was never bullied again. Not bad for an elementary school fight.
