I have to say that I was a little worried about what music I would be able to put up earlier this week. But from Tuesday on I've come across so many new exceptional songs that I ended up having to sit through and force myself to cut a lot of good music to leave you with these 7 songs. And seven might be a little too many still. Oh well.
In contrast with many of the upbeat, dubby songs I shared last week, most of the songs this week are quite relaxing and soothing.
I came across the club edit of Deadmau5's Strobe... I feel like it's by far one of his more relaxing songs, and I was kind of shocked that he would actually make something like this, because it doesn't really fit in with the atmosphere of his shows. Not really something you'd expect from a guy in a red mouse helmet.
In any case, it works well as a relaxing playlist with a couple of the other songs that I have for you this time.

Here we once again see the versatility that is Lil Wayne. He can make you want to lick the lollipop, as well as calm you down after you've given up on studying and just don't care anymore. An interesting mash-up with the theme song to the Office... it works quite well I'd say.

One of the most relaxing songs I have ever heard is Def Starr's remix of Phoenix's Fences. So when I came across this next track mixed by him, I knew it had to be good. He didn't disappoint. Monarchy themselves seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Everyone I've talked to has the same information on them: that there isn't any. They only have 2 singles out so far, but expect a lot more to be coming out of these guys in the future. Neon Gold Records has a pretty good record for picking up talent so far.

MGMT has always been a fave of mine, if you can see them live do it, I went to a concert last October and it was AMAZING. Electric Feel has now been covered by Katy Perry. A relaxing original, put some nice female vocals on it, and it becomes even more soothing. Enjoy.

I have no idea who this guy is. A semi- repetitive but very catchy tune, I like it a lot. Smooth rapping, catchy chorus. Thumbs up. Although I doubt he's the kind of person to have more than one good song ever. Oh well.

Now for some more upbeat (not by a lot more) music. Not much to say, Miike Snow and Sweedish House Mafia. Pretty common stuff.

Overall, more low key, less intense music this time. Doesn't mean I didn't find some crazy dub. If you want some, feel free to email me at cdfrantzis@gmail.com
Enjoy folks.
