Machinedrum releases DJ Shadow remix of Eyesdontlie and new album art from Vapor City

Machinedrum has unveiled the album art for his new album Vapor City as well as a remix of Eyesdontlie by DJ Shadow ;)

from Dazed Digital:

"Having established a signature style of incorporating melodic hooks and emotive synths to typical drum & bass and jungle rhythms, the now Berlin-based producer Machinedrum clearly has a rare and distinct ear for pop sensibilities as well as most importantly, ‘the drops’. However, he’s managed to maintain musical freedom gracing labels like LuckyMe, Planet Mu, and Hotflush Records via productions under his own name as well as double-teaming with Praveen Sharma aka Braille as Sepalcure for more ambient electronica pieces, as well as the more dancefloor-centric JETS project with fellow Berliner Jimmy Edgar"

THE GREAT GATSBY SOUNDTRACK (NEW) The XX - Together

The much anticipated The Great Gatsby has been taking quite a while to make its way on the screen but this Baz Luhrmann piece is sure to be a gem. The soundtrack, which is curated by Jay-Z is one of the most exciting parts by far and this new the xx track has me quite excited. In comments on the YouTube page someone noted "they don't make music, they make magic" and while I do not think this sounds very much like typical xx, I am fairly into it. When thinking about the romanticism within The Great Gatsby, you can see how a contemporary group such as the xx can mold their stylings to fit within this epic story. I personally am excited about this release from Young Turks records and what Gatsby is sure to bring.

If you didn't know, you really needed to: Harriet

Los Angeles is the home to many great things including but not limited to awesome weather, great Mexican food, Francesca Lia Block, palm trees, yogis, the Rose Bowl Flea Market and Harriet. Harriet is a group fronted by Alex Casnoff (former PAPA and Dawes pianist), whose month-long residency at the Echo on Sunset came to a close this past Monday.

I was determined to see Harriet's show after hearing "No Way Out" in my friend's car, so off I went on Monday night after my Seder to experience Harriet first-hand. Let me tell you, I was blown away. I always appreciate a band who enjoys themselves when they are performing and Harriet put on a great show and connected phenomenally with the crowd. There was no one thing that made the show great, but the enthusiasm of the band, the energy of the drummers (there were two drummers- which was AWESOME) and the Casnoff's epic voice spun the whole thing into a hip-swinging success.

I could not recommend a band more, although they sound great on their EP, seeing them live was really a great experience that is highly recommended!

Enjoy the video for "I Slept With All Your Mothers" and their EP below
