i’m a bad blogger.

i’m in the process of designing my website. this blog will probably split into two – a music blog, and a photo and/or personal blog.

to see some of what i’ve been up to, keep an eye on the flickr.

my first photoset on brooklynvegan is up…. w00t.

next post will probably be a music roundup. too much good stuff.

lotus plaza – sunday night

rez — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 15:03:47 +0000

nowhere to go,
don’t take me home

(for the first time, in the below live version, i can clearly decipher the words.)

“sunday night” (originally posted as “sunday night in atlanta”) was posted charmingly to the deerhunter / atlas sound/ lotus plaza blog by lockett pundt back in ‘7. as he explains in the post, he had just purchased a new pitch-shifting pedal and went a little wild with it (i wonder how much of the track was improvised with the new pedal).

i remember being enamored of the track right off the bat, and we got to hear a polished version on his debut lp the floodlight collective. in a recent, rare (though maybe not for long, considering deerhunter’s newly-fastened hiatus) live set, deerhunter’s panda bear laid down a super drawn-out, guitar solo-laden rendition of the track at atlanta’s eyedrum. track kicks in around 11:20-11:25.

lorelei remix

rez — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 22:46:06 +0000

i’ve been hard at work on finishing up my latest mix…. gonna be a doozer.

in the meantime, here’s one of my favos from the mix, where i bring the field’s “the more that i do” together with the track it samples, “lorelei,” along with some extra magic.

enjoy and stay tuned for the full mix.

surfer blood – swim (to reach the end) – [download]

currently loving this track. it’s a bit buried in the forkcast right now so i thought i’d bring this to attention. great track, definitely playing it next rock set. also, i like that it’s not THAT distorted/fuzzy. TOO much, y’all.

dj nate/bedroom juke

rez — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 13:02:13 +0000

i find myself up at 8:45 am vibing to dj nate on youtube. “lil mama bad as hell.” – this track means many things to me. it’s music devoid of anything but raw expression. this young buck is pumping out some pretty avant-garde lo-fi bedroom juke beats (though more so in his below track and others than the above one).

this one’s a sentimental soft-spot. insanely catchy. the song makes me want to be a high school (hood) girl so i can say “that’s ma song” and think about my boo to it while commenting on youtube.

two of dj nate’s tracks were featured in salem’s great xxjfg mix i posted about previously. download one of them here:

dj nate – ghost (mix) (download)

check out his tracks on his imeem, and let me know if you know where i can find more. dj nate, if you’re reading this, hit me up with your tunes.

BONUS JUKE:

threat misses – juke ya girl (also via salem). (download)

this track is fucking nasty as well. more insanely hard-to-find, lo-fi, experimental juke gold. like this summer’s fuzzed-out indie flavor, the low fidelity recording here adds something.

–

and man, i have a ton of other new tracks to post from this week, my first week in action. i’m still deciding how to go about doing this: a weekly roundup mp3 marathon, multiple-track posts, unhinged rapid posting, a dj mix.. who knows. if there were more of you out there i’d ask for input. most likely i’ll just let it sprout how it wants to.

javelin – dayjob

rez — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:24:33 +0000

here’s another track that’s been on my radar for a while: the warbly, woozy casio melody in this track popped into my head last night, and i feel like it came to me in a dream. it also was the perfect song to fall asleep to (although it’s too short to actually fall asleep to, so maybe a pre-sleep wooze-jam). it’s a bit like indie j dilla.

great 80s remixes make you feel good.

rez — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:21:57 +0000

so i was kind of deciding on which track to post, but i decided to just post all ‘em.

yesterday at pitchfork HQ, they were showing me some tunes and pulled together a rough mix in prep for their p4k ATP fest dj set. we came across this jam from nu shooz, a great song in itself but this remix itself is just mint, just elevates the track to another level. transcendent dancefloor stuff.

these remixes have all taken already great tracks and thrown in some mental elements that elevate them to another level. these tracks are all fucking great, the all have a sort of signature 80s sound, and they make you feel oh so good. sure to rock your next dance party. maria magdalena in particular is a huge favorite of mine, but really i love them all.
