Coyote Kisses are a duo who have been friends since childhood, both from Lakeland, Florida. They started producing music during the summer of 2008, but then took a break at the end of the summer since they were both heading off to separate colleges. This means that they are almost exactly our ages, and they have produced some of the best electro that I've heard in a while.
This first track is what I *expected* the Daft Punk soundtrack to Tron to sound like. Daft Punk instead turned Hans Zimmer-ish. Coyote Kisses, however, fulfilled my desire with LazerSwag
Coyote Kisses - LazerSwag
This second track is their most popular one, although they don't seem to be too popular yet. If they keep coming out with tracks like s(star)chaser, they're not going to be unknown for long.

Hip Hop Joints
Hey guys my first post so be nice
Nujabes,
During his lifetime, Japanese hip hop producer and all-around baller. Beautiful music that's also featured on the anime Samurai Champloo.
Down tempo, catchy riffs and droning rhythms. When I feel stressed this is what I listen to.
Aruarian Dance
Links are part of a Nujabes playlist I found on youtube, check out more dope tunes by him by just letting it keep playing when the music finishes :)
Joe Beats,
Rhode Island native producer. Not much to say besides awesome. Heavy beats, slow and fun to listen to, great stuff.
Not sure exactly what you guys want, lemme know what you like/dislike

Now, music.
I have invited a good friend Russell to also start posting on here; he has excellent music taste and I'm positive that you'll enjoy the style of music that he puts up. But for a sneak peak, I found a couple of songs that are very Russell-esque so you can get an idea of the joys that are to come. If you've had a rough day and just want to relax, there's nothing better than this to mellow you out.

Daily Post #18
1,000 VIEWS WOOOT WOOT
Thanks to Matt for covering my daily post yesterday. He did a much better job than I usually do, so maybe I'll have to "be really really busy" more often.
The thing about music is that there is an insane amount of it, and there are many good artists/songs out there that, unless you pull in information from others, you will never have the pleasure to hear. AS SUCH if you have any songs that you really like, please email me at cdfrantzis@gmail.com and we will share it with the world. Between me Kyle and Matt we listen to a fair bit of music but by no means all of it.
That said, I was recently, uh, collaborating, I guess, with a friend and she reminded me of a song that I had listened to long ago. It's the kind of a song that you listen to and immediately start craving the dance floor; so basically, it's awesome. Also, it's by Steve Aoki, another artist that will be featured at Starscape. If you haven't gotten tickets for Starscape yet, and wanna go.... well you're boned. Tickets are sold out, sorry. Heh.
Kid Cudi - Pursuit of Happiness (Steve Aoki Dance Remix)
I realize that a lot of the music that I've been posting has been electro/dub etc. It's NOT all that I listen to, we actually have a quite diverse taste in music, as Kyle and Matt have shown.
On that note, I have a rock song for you! Coming out of Kentucky, but moving to London with their first record deal, they have a very lovely, distinct rasp to their songs that I love. It's a sad song, so be prepared, but I think you'll enjoy it.
Cage The Elephant - Shake Me Down

Here's an indie song that I recently stumbled across that I get more and more addicted to each time I hear it. In typical indie fashion it deals with what I believe is two kids who have an unplanned pregnancy, and the deep emotional repercussions. Hey, someone has to do a little of the indie thing.
The Antlers - Bear

Here is a more upbeat song that I found recently, I loved it instantly because it reminded me of a few Muse songs. It's epic, ethereal, and moving. Meet Klaxons.
Klaxons - Echoes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJgOLu5iAFs
And after I got bored of that, Designer Drugs went and remixed the song in a way that blew my mind. A lot of the remixes that I see are just drums or some extra bass / electro added to a song, or a remix that completely destroy's the songs intended purpose. This remix does what every remix should strive to do, that is keep the aim of the song the same, yet while adding a new take.
