Beast of the weeK : Madeon - Pop Culture

Madeon - Pop Culture by Drugs and Mirrors

Normally when an amalgamated cornucopia of  songs are mashed, the result is blasé. However, at the mind blowing age of 17, Madeon, breaths fresh air into electronic music. Hailing from France, much like all great electronic artists, this young-blood is breaking ground and beats. For those whom may be interested, this was a free-style, that he later plans to fully implement in future shows.

Breakbot - When the Night Falls feat. Chromeo

Something about you girl...OH YA

Breakot - When The Night Falls feat. Chromeo by Drugs and Mirrors

A delicious combination of pure class and dirty filth. Chromeo's track 'When the night falls' has been upgraded to an 80s disco-boogie by the talented hands of Breakbot. The only folly on this exceptional track is the disgusted looks you get from individuals on the bus or your room as you dance in your chair.

Summer Sessions : Cream Dream - Club Coolada

Disco Denouement

Cream Dream - Club Coolada by Drugs and Mirrors

 A slow progression of funky filter vibes to full on dirty disco denouement. Enjoy the laid back cool jive beside the pool, or in the car with the top down. Cream dream posses an exceptional amount of talent, which is clearly evident in "Club Coolada". With beats reminiscent of a young bang-alter and fantastic production, the song is a near perfect jam, the only thing missing is a hook. 

Beast of the weeK : Kartell - Pantera

Mothers lock up your daughters...

Kartell - Pantera by Drugs and Mirrors
Kartell belongs to the Shiny Disco Club records family and despite the lack of connotation to mid-90s metal band,  Pantera will have your body thrashing. For there is something distinctively sexy about the pulsating chord progression blended so carefully with the raspy vocal sample of The Jones Girls - 'Who Can I Run To'. Kartell, a French duo has an immaculate grasp on filter house, funk and disco, however with an unconventional  approach. The dynamic couple had the tendency to produce music at a lower than standard BPM. Regardless, the amount of talent and uniqueness is unparalleled.

Hip-Hop Hump Day : Asher Roth - Summer Time

Cool Breeze

"It feels good, so good, like it should, and you feel it too"
Apparently Asher Roth dropped-out after his brief experience with college, metaphorically speaking. The West Chester, Early Education graduate, has not made the slightest blip on the proverbial hip hop radar, until today. Mr Roth released a cool breezed summer jam that will indubitably get as much play time as I love College. Its perfect for chillin at the beach, bbq-ing in the back yard, or just rollin trees

Feel Better Baby

jamie xx - far nearer by Artschoolvets

Pure, quintessential, post-dub track, from Jamie 'XX' smith. With a near burial approach to ghastly vocals and a juxtaposition of steel drums, far nearer, creates an uplifting / dark ambiance. 

Hip Hop Hump-Day : Blue Scholars - New People (Empire Remix)

Blue Scholars - New People (Empire Remix) by Drugs and Mirrors

The degradation of  of hip-hop has gone on for far too long.  In order to be successful in its current state, two things are required; minimal lyrics on the frequency in which you smoke weed and a grade 11 grasp on the structure of rhyming,.  It is a shame, rappers with the intellect and poignancy are unknown and few and far between. However, Blue Scholars do follow the format of that hip hops' grass-roots were built upon; social awareness. Addressing issues from war, to immigration, and to racism, they encompasses a wide variety with exceptional skill.   Nevertheless, Blue Scholars took a lighter approach to "New People", a remix of Empire of the sun.
