Hey All,
So it's Friday! Almost time for the weekend to begin! I'm sure everyone is at work just waiting for the clock to reach a certain time in the day, aka home time!
Can you believe that it is nearly half way...well actually it's only one day...so let's say...it IS half way through January! The first month of 2011, half over! Where does time go?
The song I have for you today is the most recent offering from Crystal Castles, with a little help on the vocals from The Cure's Robert Smith. The song is called, Not In Love, and it is a cover of a song originally written by Canadian new wave group called, Platinum Blonde.
Crystal Castles is an electronic duo from Toronto, formed in 2004. They released numerous vinyl EPs during 2006 and 2007, and then released their self-titled debut LP in 2008 to positive reviews.
Their debut record was also named by NME as one of the Top 50 Greatest Albums of the Decade.
Enjoy it, it's well good!

You've got to slow down...
Hey All,
I hope everyone enjoyed their New Years Eve, and if you got one, the long weekend! It's amazing to think that we're now in the year 2011. The last half of 2010 seemed to go by incredibly quickly; i didn't really seem to have enough time to take it all in.
Unfortunately for me I was (and still am) a host for the viral plague. I got sick on Thursday night, and remained super sick through New Year’s Eve. Go figure, the biggest night of raving, and I was stuck in bed.
Oh well.
So it's time for some new music. I may have been sick over the past few days, but I went stir crazy and decided to look into a bunch of new stuff over the weekend. So now as I scroll through my iPod, what should I share with you as my first song of 2011.
A contender for one of THE drum & bass tune of last year is called Slow Down, by Break featuring DJ Die.
When you first start listening to the song, you wouldn't expect what it is that this song eventually delivers. It is a hard, grimey, in the floor, drum & bass tune.
Definitely worth the listen.
Enjoy!

Katy B!
Hey You Lot,
How is everyone doing? Enjoying the holidays? I hope so, I know I sure did. They were just over way too quick. I'm defintiely not ready to be back at work yet. So to everyone still on holidays, lucky you! For everyone else, trust me you are not alone.
This year has been an amazing year for music. There have been some absolute bangers released...and I think, it's time we celebrate that.
One of the biggest summer smashes this year came from a little lady by the name of Katy B.
Her debut single Katy on a Mission, a collaboration with Dubstep DJ/Producer Benga, garnered huge praise from both listeners and critics alike. This track along with songs like I Need Air by Magentic Man, were responsible bringing dubstep to the mainstream, giving listeners who wouldn't normally have found out about this genre, something to think about.
Katy on a Mission hit number five on the UK singles chart after its release which is an incredible feat for a dubstep tune. The song also hit number one on the UK Dance and Indie charts.
This song is a mash up of two genres, dubstep and pop music, I guess you could almost call it pop step.
Look out for Katy B's debut record in the new year, it promises to be amazing.
Enjoy!

Another day...another song!
Hey All,
It's Tuesday...Tuesday...You know, no matter how many times you say it, it still isn't Friday, in fact it seems far from. Oh well.
So how is everyone? Things are good here! Over the weekend BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra had a dubstep take over; they had a bunch of the DJs from both stations present shows about the biggest dubstep of 2010, to the history of dubstep, to the direction that it seems to be going. It is definitely worth a listen.
That just seemed like some news worth sharing, however our post today is not about dubstep.
Robyn hit the North American music scene in 1995 with her debut record, Robyn Is Here. She garnerd some major fame with this release; the record spawned two top ten singles: Do You Know (What It Takes) and Show Me Love. The record was also certified Platinum, selling over 900k copies by mid 1997.
After the release of Robyn Is Here, Robyn released two more records in Sweden before we saw her return on this side of the pond in 2008.
Robyn's self titled fourth record, was released in the UK and Europe in 2005, and was then re-released with an updated track listing for the US and Canada in early 2008.
2010 has been a HUGE year for Robyn. She released two EPs and an LP as part of a project referred to as the Body Talk Series. Both Body Talk Pt.1 and Pt.2 contained eight tracks, while the final release of the project, an LP simply called Body Talk, contained five songs from the each of the first two releases as well as five new songs.
Robyn also performed at the MTV VMAs this year along side Canadian DJ, Deadmau5; and she has also been touring the US and Europe with R&B turned dance songstress, Kelis.
Today's post is the A-Trak remix of the first single from Body Talk, called Indestructible.
After hearing what A-Trak was able to do with the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Heads Will Roll, last year, you know this remix will be epic.
Enjoy it!
