SrRealist - "Credulity" - Album of the Day - 3/11/15 [FREE DOWNLOAD]

SrRealist is a South Dakota based producer that I happen to be pretty good friends with. I had known he was making music in his spare time and had a history as a musician, but then one conversation led to another and he agreed to let me premiere his EP, Credulity, through this very blog a year ago this month. I find this EP evokes emotion in the listener and carries them along meticulously crafted soundscapes into a different plane of musical enjoyment. Yeah, let's go with that.

Here's a note from the man himself. Hope you enjoy this collection of music as much as we do!

"The following is a smattering of tracks that were imagined, written, assembled, recorded

and mixed over the course of a couple years while I dove feet first into digital music 

production. Having only a background in guitar, I became increasingly excited as to what

possibilities the future could hold. This EP is really just the first good chunk I have made since

the start that im happy with. I hope to move on and further my understanding in this realm and

also to one day bring it to a performance setting.

Please enjoy.

SrRealist"

Gov't Mule - "Dark Side of the Mule" (Review)

Gov't Mule recently released their newest album, Dark Side of the Mule, which has been years-in-the-making. All the selections off this new LP were recorded live in Boston at The Orpheum Theatre on Halloween 2008. Including some of my favorite Pink Floyd selections like: "One of These Days," "Fearless," "Have a Cigar," and "Wish You Were Here," this album is surely not to disappoint the avid Pink Floyd fan. Mule maintains the feel the original track all while effortlessly infusing their well-known improv. style jams. The Mule is Kickin'. Once "Comfortably Numb" comes around, if you were impressed yet, this is the final stop on that negative train. They absolutely murder this song with shredding guitars and on point vocals. Overall this is a great effort I think most fans of Pink Floyd will appreciate, kudos to the guys of the band for this stellar performance. Streaming free through Spotify below.

20syl - "Complètement Fou (Yelle)" - Song of the Day - 12/12/14 [FREE DOWNLOAD]

20syl gives us his take on the French singer Yelle's summer single, "Complètement Fou" - which translates to "Completely Crazy." He shifts pitches and chops and screws the vocals for a much groovier, trippier experience. He also brilliantly bangs out some bells and whistles, enough to sound like you're playing the best game of Nintendo ever. However, I expect nothing less from 20syl, also a French artist, who's been producing beats since 1995, first kicking off in the group Hocus Pocus, created under his own vision. "Complètement Fou" is part of a 10-song EP "Remixs" you can download for free on his Soundcloud page: HERE. The EP includes other mixes of smash tunes from  the likes of Schoolboy Q, Kendrick Lamar, and even Ed Sheeran, which all reflect how this dude can whip up countless bangers and consistently make them into something completely crazy.
