During my usual rounds of looking for amazing beats, I happened on Força Do Futuro‘s new jam, “Bomba”. A side project of The Fire and Reason, Força Do Futuro uses the Brazilian genre baile-funk as its weapon of choice. Their new song, “Bomba” is delightfully dizzying and easily summed up in one word: pumping. Don’t […]

Album Review: Tiesto – Kaleidoscope
To be honest, I never really listened to/liked Tiesto. Maybe it was that some of his tracks were too trancy or technoish(?) for me. For whatever reason, I just wasn’t feeling it, that was until I heard his amazin’ remix of “Not Falling Apart” by Maroon 5. It totally changed my feeling about Tiesto and […]

Album Review: Birds and Batteries – Up To No Good
San Francisco’s Birds and Batteries seems to carve their own genre-less music. Never really being able to classify it, their sound combines the fun of late 70’s freak funk with a detached, studio cool of 80’s R&B. Their new EP, Up To No Good, finds them in new territory which songwriter, Mike Sempert describes as […]

Not my […]
