Operation Zero – Dr. Octagon

Operation Zero – the jellyfish moves closer.  He’s not your friend, but goes where he goes.  Learn what he knows and find moosebumps on your earlobes.  Feel the sting on your chest as the shapeless menace manifests.  Tentacles reaching forever and far flung.  Nobody likes to get stung.

The Sound of Silence – Simon and Garfunkel

This week’s track is a bit of a throwback. After all, how can one leave Simon and Garfunkel out of their playlist? I’m not American, but you know you a classic when you hear one…

Throw Ya Gunz Ft. IceWater – Camp Lo

NY hip-hop duo, Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede a/k/a Camp Lo, cut loose on this sticky sweet album packed with all new head-bobbin’ tracks! Throw ya Gunz is a ode to some dope hip hop borrowing “Onyx” Throw Ya Gunz hook with Ice Water tagging along for this banger.

One Kiss – Calvin Harris feat. Dua Lipa

this week’s track comes from legendary DJ Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa who happens to be one of pop music’s hottest acts at the moment. The fact that they teamed up to bring us this sexy, sensual track entitled “One Kiss” is a pretty hot track that is perfect for summer especially when you are out there watching those hot summer bodies on the beach.

Kerala – Bonobo

Following in the same vein as last week’s entry, Bonobo’s ‘Kerala’ is a super-chill fest that’s gotten me through some pretty hard work over the weekend.

It always seems to happen that whenever Britain has some good weather, I’m cooped up inside working on an important deadline. It’s worth it though; playing the long game always pays off in the end, so if missing out on a bit of a tan this weekend is the price for some hard earned success, I can handle that!..

Lifeline – Beedabee

When i first clicked play i was was hooked on the beat but to get on my playlist there’s always got to be a message and worthy of taking a shot to. I’m quite sure we all agree with him life’s obstacles are not always easy.(*) 

Fragments of Time – Daft Punk

I posted a video 2 weeks ago of them giving a great example of funk, but it wasn’t enough.

Maybe they are not the creators (their creator is Giorgio Moroder, the actual father of electronic), but they are the Hercules of electronic music (Giorgio is Zeus)…

Love Me Again – John Newman

Being such a huge lover of football it shouldn’t come as a surprise that i came to love this song because of FIFA 14, add to the fact that Messi was on the cover and i was sold! 

Weight In Gold – Gallant

There’s an old notion that good musicians graduate from schools like Berklee College and the Juilliard, but great ones never make it through. The really special ones often drop out for a major record deal, tour, or other opportunity to pursue their dream of stardom. Gallant proves that there are exceptions to every rule. 

Diving Woman – Japanese Breakfast

It’s easy to get lost, lost in the moment, lost driving around, or maybe in a good book. Right from the beginning of Diving Woman, you get lost in the music; there is a fast fluttering synth that leads into some big four-on-the-floor drums and an inescapable bassline. Guitars fill in some space with some repetitive notes and a thick pad sits behind blending everything into one mass…

Square Hammer – Ghost

Alright. Remember Video Game Music? Music composed specifically for games? We were going back to it this week. That was the plan. The past few posts were more mainstream tracks that ended up in games but now we were supposed to get back to take a look at some tracks written specifically for Video Games.
