A video to blow your mind and a song that will get you pumped for the weekend. 
You can check out an interview on the Urban Outfitters blog with ol' Spank Rock himself and the Director for this video.

Favorite quote: "I want to feel that magic that I felt when I saw Purple Rain for the first time."  Don't we all?

I don't know what it is about Spank Rock, but dude makes me want to rave.

Play this one at your Halloween Party

It's October, all the new scary movies are coming out, Friday the 13th is playing repetitively on TV and now we've got a whole genre horror and this time it's coming out of the speakers

Kavinsky's "Nightcall" starts out with a Thrilleresque howl that leads into almost zombielike vocals.  Their bandcamp site gives us a nice description of the song; doesn't it just reek of DAFT PUNK ?

"The new single ‘Nightcall’ from Kavinsky is composed of 4 tracks that represent the sensual, epic and romantic French sound like never before.
The song was produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk and mixed by SebastiAn and finds the spooky, distorted, zombie vocals of Kavinsky perfectly counterbalanced by the sultry purr of CSS’ front kitten Lovefoxxx."

Saskatchewan first caught my ear with their perfect summer song "Dreamboat" but their newest single, "Skinny Dipping" is far from a sweet summer tune.  It starts out creepy and continues to give me the chills, yet I can't stop listening to it.  It's got an almost sensual guitar riff behind uber haunting vocals that make for a great song.  Whose ready to take of their clothes and get in the water??

A Savage Hiatus

A blog is a terrible thing to waste....
And while other priorities took the best of my time and kept me from this little space I like to share with other music lovers out there, I've found myself wanting to come back to it time after time.  If there is one thing that has remained consistent in my life its music, and my love for it.  So I will try my best to continue posting to MDS all those wonderful eargasms that have delighted me day after day. And what better ear candy to share with you after this long hiatus then one of the most intriguing groups I have seen in awhile...


REPTAR has been blowing up my speakers for quite some time now, ever since I saw the video for these guys singing "Blast Off" I was hooked:


Really the whole album Oblangle Fizz, Y’all! (yes that is the name of their album!) is pretty amazing,  I'd have to say that "Stuck In My ID" is a personal fave

Do yourself a favor and check these guys out if they come to a city near you.

Rave On

Recently we got our savage on at a warehouse party with the Wild North crew and it was very legit…

Take an abandoned warehouse ...

Toss some graffiti on the walls...

Add some glow sticks...

And you got yourself a RAVE… right on

In fact, these guys throw one of these little soiress every couple of months, so if you live in the DC area, you should check out their next gig,

In honor of my recent trip to Chicago, I thought I highlight some of the great sounds I’ve heard coming out of there.  The windy city has got some talent.

Hooray! Trippy chillwave that will put you in a trance.


Because anthems aren’t just for New York and LA… plus this music video is pretty entertaining…

Vacations

Vacations music makes you want to do just that… take a vacation

Aleks and the Drummer 

I’m not gonna lie, this music makes me feel weird, in an endearing/creepy way.   Maybe it’s because I can’t tell if Aleks is singing in English or some Viking tongue or because of the interesting choice in song titles like “I want to melt his eyes.”

More to come on what I’ve been listening to lately and possibly some high lights  from other upcoming trips… anyone know any good chillwave bands from Italy?

CHEERS Y’ALL

There is so many bomb-ass jams out there right now, here’s what we’ve been digging lately.

Dakotafish sent us an E-mail about a month back with their two latest singles available free for download at their bandcamp site. What a great addition to our September playlist, sorry we couldn’t pass these along to y’all sooner. It’s a little something to get you amped for those crisp fall nights to come. We can’t wait to hear the rest of the album.

This preview for Dustin Wong’s Infinite Love is like lots and lots of badass paintings on a reel with background music. The album, which comes out in October, includes a full length music video also created by the artist. Based on the preview video below, its lookin pretty trippy.
