HERE & THERE

SUSPICION

This could quite possibly be the most beautiful, mood altering, relaxing, and insanely brilliant piece of pie I have at the moment. I miss writing. I miss you guys. I miss sharing. Because sharing is caring and I really do care. I've been DJing heaps and if you haven't been to the Westway on Tuesday recently I would invite you to join this coming Tuesday 11/22.I will be there. Doo Wah Ditty Ditty Dum Ditty Doo if you know what I'm sayin. Anyway please enjoy this track, I caught it while watching Last Night, a tense film about cheating on the one you love. Keira Knightley is pretty much amazing. Peace out.

YOU SAID A LONG LONG TIME AGO

Most of my posts this past summer started with "I'm sorry I haven't posted in so long." While my fate is clear, that of the blog is not. I will not let the velveteen rest any more. I've prepped, packaged, and pinpointed my next four posts. You know, like planning in advance? Real Estate pays the bills, music makes it all worth the spending. Enjoy this track. It's somber, original, and kinda beautiful.

HEY HEY HEY

#1

What's your favorite film? Your favorite restaurant? Favorite band? Top 5 bars? Favorite flavor of Starburst? All impossible questions. However, with out a doubt, in less than a split second, I can tell you who and where and why my favorite act in the last however many years is by far 100% Mr. Calvin fucking Harris. He's the reason I started shazaming. The reason I wanted to DJ. The reason I started this blog. There's my big cheezy shout out. New Calvin. Enjoy. It's retarded.

HOW DOES IT SOUND IF WE SPEND THE NIGHT OUT?

At a recent relaunch for Lola, my ears fell in love with every waking second of this simply perfect dance jam. Almost everything Martin Solveig touches turns to gold and this track is with out a doubt one of those. Not to mention Thomas Mars is on vocals. What?

FALL EP

After so many days of not posting, I cautiously grace your presence with a Fall EP. With sounds dedicated to the farewell of summer and the incoming of rain slash clouds, this collection of tracks will make you feel all fuzzy and warm. Also, apologies for my category four blog coma. I'm dedicated to recovery so consider this step one in my path to salvation.

EENY MEENY MINY MOE

Lots of action on the velveteen front this week. For starters, my gig this Friday should be a total shit show. Lots of dancing. I'm doing an hour of requests, a tribute to Biggy (shout out to @missdaphna) and well, a huge bar with ice cold cocktails. Between starting a business and promoting the velveteen, I admit I've been slacking in the post department. So for you, I have three songs that I can't stop listening to at the moment. I just want to mention that the The Temper Trap remix you see below is easily the best song I've ever heard in my entire life. Oh, and The Rapture song is brand spanking new. The Otis Redding track comes courtesy of Surf Lodge.

GIG

BOUNCE

I know it's been a minute, but what I have cooking is seriously sensational and well worth the wait. I've gotten lots of love for my playlists thus far, but sometimes the people have just enough room for just one jam. FYI this track contains moments of cheezines, but overall an amazing baseline and haunting intro. Hopefully this holds you over until my latest and greatest Surf Lodge / Ruschmeyer's inspired playlist. Coming very soon to a speaker near you.

WONDERWALL

Pretty much the best cover song of all time. Followed closely by Sparklehorse's version of wish you were here which is on the 7/4/VLVTN playlist below. If you don't have this one, now you do. If you have it, consider this a reminder to dig it up and start listening to it again and again.
