Miguel Scott & BluShift - Broken Layers (Viva Recordings)

8DPromo · Miguel Scott & BluShift - Broken Layers (Viva Recordings)

Over the last year or so, the Viva Recordings team has been getting to know Miguel Scott, a talented producer from Johannesburg, South Africa. After many conversations and a few listening sessions, it was apparent that "Broken Layers" was just what the label needed. This release is packed with jazz & broken beat vibes, and is co written by BluShift, also from Johannesburg. You can also catch Miguel on labels like Nervous, Moiss Music Black, and his own Afrinative Soul imprint. Don’t sleep on this one.

Jason Merle (4E&A Records) – “Those drums are clutch. Beautiful, organic sounds all around. In the bag.” Juan Moreno (1 Life Records) – “Nice broken beat track. So classy.” Deli-G (The Touch) – “Pure fire on this release.” Michael Fossati (Spirit of House web zine) – “A truly glamorous slice of jazz house bliss.” Simon Kirk (Stag Beetle Radio Show) – “5 Stars for this amazing record. Absolutely love it.” Clive Craske (RadioReverb) – “Loving the dexterous jazz piano, funky and driving broken beats and Thereminny synth wibbling. Ace.”

istg if it wasn't for the sudden dizziness and jitters and excessive crying and constant nausea, i would've been unstoppable

[bitchapalooza]

I want Viva to yell at Peppy and make him feel soooo fucking BAD for abandoning her and the others, I want her to heal, I want her cry to get the pain out, I want Peppy to feel the pain she felt, I just want Viva to get closure.

Finally uploading phil reacting to El diablo by Fobia, a mexican rock band from the 80's 🇲🇽🦅

The thing phil is referring to is that in the Song it contains Mos cantina aka the part after "Trae en la mano un coctel" with the synth keys going up that Tallulah told him to look out for

Dan Laino - Follow Me (Viva Recordings)

8DPromo · Dan Laino - Follow Me (Viva Recordings)

Minneapolis based producer and DJ Dan Laino is back on Viva Recordings for the summery "<strong? data-preserve-html-node="true">Follow Me", a fantastic follow up to his recent collaboration "I Want You" with Jason Merle and Becka on the label in recent months. A prolific producer, and no stranger to the game, he's signed tracks to labels like Phoenix Music, 4E&A, Grin Music and more. "<strong? data-preserve-html-node="true">Follow Me" starts with deep chords, a subtle pulsating bassline and whispery vocal samples, steadily building as the track meanders along. It's almost made for the end of Summer. A perfect poolside or patio track for the summer, and a sure fire after hours track for early mornings as autumn sets in. Flip it over for "<strong? data-preserve-html-node="true">Got da Flav," which continues the airy vibes of this single. Swirling pads, subtle stabs, and a spacious groove that makes it easy to close your eyes and get lost on the dancefloor. Dive in!

Mark Mac (The Sounds Collective) – “Two great tunes for the club.” Rick Preston (Viva Recordings) – “Beautiful tracks!” Matt Prehn (Oh So Coy) – “Nice old San Fran vibe on this one.” Jason Merle (4E&A Records) – “Gorgeous pair of tracks here. In the bag.” Simon Kirk (Proton Radio) – “Deep House of the finest order!” DJ Firefly (Couch Dancing) – “Great Deep House with a classic feel.”

My mom and sister wanted to watch a horror movie today, and of course I'm the Designated Person to choose one so I pirated the new smile movie (it looks regular/modern enough for my normie sister lmao) apparently it hasn't been released digitally yet so we're watching a shitty theater recorded version, which made me realize I haven't seen a movie like that in yearssss (generally I just wait for movies to be streaming somewhere to pirate them) it's like. a lost art<3

rise, written media… rise to spite the deaths of your brothers (shows getting cancelled on streaming platforms after 1-2 seasons)

Album Review: Todd Snider - Aimless Records Presents: Viva Satellite (Purple Version)

Iconoclastic from the jump to the present, Todd Snider added a couple of songs and subtracted another when performing Viva Satellite during his pandemic-era “First Agnostic Church of Hope and Wonder” livestream series.

Snider’s also a generous artist - the ’streams were gratis, as are the resulting live albums rolling out across 2024. For Viva, Snider opened with an unlisted bit of an unreleased instrumental called “Willie Nelson Mows His Yard Alone” and played an impromptu version of “Amazing Grace” on guitar after aborting his piano rendition of “Never Let Me Down.” He skipped the instrumental “I am Two” altogether, though one could argue it was part of the preceding “I am Too.”

Changes notwithstanding, Aimless Records Presents: Viva Satellite (Purple Version) finds Snider brilliantly recreating the full-band album on which he tried to be Neil Young (“Out all Night”) and Tom Petty (much of the balance of the original LP) as the smart-alecky, solo-acoustic Todd Snider of live performance as after he grudgingly played his version of Steve Miller’s “The Joker.”

“I’ll say this in front of god and everybody - give me classic rock over punk rock any day of the fucking week,” Snider says while demonstrating how the pinkie finger makes the difference between the guitar styles of the two. He added: “I thought the Sex Pistols looked boss as all fuck.”

Funnier than at least half of all working comedians, comfortable in who he is, magnanimous in his praise for friends and colleagues like Will Kimbrough and willing to play songs he doesn’t much like (“Positively Negative”) to get to those - “Can’t Complain,” “Doublewide Blues” and Kimbrough’s “Godsend” - he loves, Snider comes off as a mensch across the entire performance. That he is clear-headed and playing and singing in top form adds to the delight and reveals that the original Viva - which Snider said tanked - was a victim of production rather than composition.

Viva Purple follows Step Right Up (Purple Version) and will be followed by Happy to be Here (Purple Version).
