While you were sleeping

It occured to me that we've come to a middle portion of the year and as I continue to encounter, fall in love with, and overplay pieces of music, I should share them with more people. I meant to post this on Monday for the 4th, unfortunately it's been pushed to now. I'm pasting a tracklisting below and hope you all enjoy this little mix I threw together of some of my favorite tunes this year.

Woodkid - Iron  •  Luminary Youth - Diamond Skies ( Warpaint )  •  Outasight - Life or something Like it  •  Kaya - Why don't we, Toki Monsta - Darkest ( Dim ) (fest Gavin Turek )  •  Lapalux - Time Soike Jamz  •  Ra Cailum - Don't Achieve It, Big K.R.I.T - R4 Theme Song  •  David Dallas - Say No More  •  Egyptrixx - Chrysalis Records  •  Jon Lemmon - somewhere with something  •  Jesse Futerman - Funds  •  Son Lux - All the Right Things  •   Rapheal Saadiq - Good Man  •  Young Montana? - Sacre Cool  •  40 Winks - Outside the Box  •  Non Projects - He sees on through her ( real )  •  Lapalux - Gutter GLitter

Strangely, Liking, This. Not sure who put this together and I'm generally not a big fan of mashups, but I like Pheonix and Lil Wayne. Enjoy.

HEFTY

Hefty Records was started in 1995 as a home for label owner John Hughes' own musical output. Acting on a desire to finally release the music he had been recording, paired with a healthy mistrust of another label being the one to do it, he founded his own label at age 19.  Hughes wanted to see his music through to completion, from songwriting to production to a final product that he could promote. Once the label had established itself with distribution and some initial press attention, Hughes invited other artists into the mix. The sound was prefaced by an ingrained Chicago aesthetic; a get-down-to-business mentality and a melting-pot of musical genres. Over the past 15 years, Hefty's catalog has found its identity through a strange balance of electronic and organic sounds with carefully crafted production that will sound infinitely great. From classics like Savath + Savalas, Telefon Tel Aviv, and Phil Ranelin to the more recent releases like Plus Device, radicalfashion, and Brood, the Hefty catalog presents a vast musical landscape that all somehow fits under the same umbrella.

I've been digging through my archives and this is HANDS DOWN one of the best mixes I've been fortunate enough to get my hands on. It's a HEFTY mix done by the talented Edit. If you haven't heard Edit's work - you gotta learn and hear more on him. I'll do a follow up shortly on the talented producer.

Underground Gems

This is essentially yanked from Brian's blog. As some of you may or may not know. Brian has been doing a series of mixes - monthly mixes that are by and large . . . large. This Underground Gems is a banger. It came on suddenly, and my ears gave me a warm, fuzzy hug in thanks. My head nodded in unison as well. The mix is done  by Stephen Kelleher. Be sure to visit his site for some beautiful work.

"This month is going to be a bit of a catch up month for last year’s guest mixers. First up for the year is my good bud and superstar Stephen Kelleher. Stephen, aka Frankenstyles, is one of my favorite designer/illustrators out there. Kid has sick skills. We teamed up a few years back for a PSST! Pass it On and had a blast. This Underground Gems mix is like finding an old mixtape from 10 years back packed to the gills with the illest hip hop joints. I am sure this one will bring back fond memories for everyone. Enjoy!"
