Strategies & sound
Finalizing a guide with social media strategies and nerdy recommendations for the office while listening to previously undiscovered tracks. My conclusion is that dubstep and in-ear headphones is a good combination for my workflow, it keeps me bumpy and concentrated even though I was supposed to get out of here hours ago. Good fun.
Here’s some tunes that have been blocking out my surroundings today:
My friend Chriz in introduced me to cool and snappy Azealia Banks when i was in Wawa.
Azealia Banks – 212 (feat. Lazy Jay)
(2011)
Yesterday I discovered the absolutely brilliant TOKiMONSTA.
TOKiMONSTA – Little Pleasures
Creature Dreams EP (2011)
And right now I’m listening to some Dubstep I just found on Youtube to keep myself bumping.
Arkist – Rendezvouz
Rendezvous/Fill Your Coffee Vinyl (2011)
I know, a lot of music lately – sorry about that. I need to get a good stock of new sounds for my upcoming flights, busrides and a life without access to good internet connection. Also, I have noticed that I almost only post electronic music on the blog – that is because it’s what I’m listening to while in front of the computer. At home, there’s tons of jazz, neosoul and indie music playing, and on occasion, I indulge in dark post rock, cheesy cuban salsa and depressing portuguese fado. There, I said it.
Here’s an old Vetusta Morla song I have been killing lately. It’s none of the above, but awesome.
Porque ser valiente no es sólo cuestión de suerte.
Vetusta Morla – Valiente
Un día en el mundo (2008)
Acoustic
Walk off the earth – Somebody That I Used to Know (cover)
(2011)
Acoustic, pure and genius.
Morning dance.
A morning Whatsapp from Den is tons better than any alarm clock. She’s going to sleep now, and I’m soon off to work. Have a beautiful day – dance!
Twinkle&Bass
Found Chopin playing a spaced out piano on a wall in Warsaw.
Also, I found a new tune by Time Wharp, which is the first single from his upcoming BLK EP. The record twinkles all the way through and the R&B sample is both soothing and bouncy. Later it all melts together into a cosmic maze of sitar solos and constant pitchshifts and impressions, fading out into nothingness in a way that leaves me craving for more.
Listen for yourself & download this single for free. You can enjoy previously released awesomeness at Time Wharp’s website until BLK will be released via Brooklyn based Astro Nautico on the 23rd of January. Something to look forward to? Yes, yes, yes. And do keep an eye on that label if you like dreamy-electronic music and experimental beats.
Nighty.

Bizarre movie night
We were supposed to watch a movie..
We went to my attic and found Jim Henson’s The Labirynth from 1986
And laughed hard when David Bowie did his magic moves. (at 0:55)
Then we continued with Luis Buñuel’s Un Chien Andalou from 1929
And ended up with Alexander Jodorowsky’s Santa Sangre from 1989
We were apparently in the mood for surreal weirdness, which turned out tons better than sitting somewhere in a pub – we didn’t even notice how late it got.
Good night.
