Feeling noxious again

Productive as few, I Am Noxious makes music at a rapid pace. As we wrote in the post in December he makes a track in about two or three days. But what he makes in those few days, is great electronic pop music. This time we got our hands on two lovely new tracks that are a little different from before.

"This is a Ballad" is a slow track reminding of ballads from acts like Parker Lewis and Hot Chip. "Stranded on Love" is more pop than I Am Noxious has made before according to himself. I also must give you an older track "We Pray" that is said to be a demo. Demo or not, it's a fine tune with great cowbells. Don't forget to give your support to this talented youngster from London.

Worship remix of B-Xentric

Got this smookin' hot track in our SoundCloud only a few hours ago. It was love right away. B-Xentric from the UK is in the working progress of his EP "Miami Heat" where this track will be included. Worship, who we all love, makes this track into a kind of tougher movie soundtrack from the 80s.

Chasing for cinnamon

If you like acts such as Mackintosh Braun, Junior Boys, Gentle Touch and the Radio Dept. you should definitely check out Cinnamon Chasers. It's the solo-project of UK-based Russ Davies (aka ABAKUS) and last year he released the debut album "A Million Miles From Home" which is a masterpiece. It got great reviews and it's well worth all the praising. Shortly after that he released the great EP "The Elements" and it was as good as the album.

But even if many radio stations and newspapers liked Cinnamon Chasers it was quite few blogs who picked this up. I believe that Cinnamon Chasers need more blog love and therefore this post is made.

You can feel that the music in inspired from something dreamy and wonderful. The album "A Million Miles From Home" are said to be inspired by legendary movie "The Neverending Story". You can also hear influences from early masters such as Moroder and Jean-Micheal Jarre. The result is brilliant to my ears. By using guitars in some of his tracks together with dreamy synth sounds it gives Cinnamon Chasers a sound of his own.

Here are some assorted tracks from the album, the EP and from the the single "Modern Love/End Story. And buy everything with Cinnamon Chasers at Beatport. But start out with this fine video to "Luv Deluxe".



Cinnamon Chasers - End Story

Cinnamon Chasers - Minimalia

Cinnamon Chasers - Candle Lights

Cinnamon Chasers - Luv Deluxe

Cinnamon Chasers - The World Is Yours

Cinnamon Chasers - Ultraviolent

Cinnamon Chasers - Wishing for the Fire

One of those who got the attention for Cinnamon Chasers was another newcomer last year, Diamond Cut, who came from nowhere and made brilliant sound with the synthesizer in a lot of great remixes and beacuse of that he's one of my favourites. Here are two great remixes from him of Cinnamon Chasers and I especially adore the work he had put into "I Like Watching You", tremendous job!

Cinnamon Chasers - I Like Watching You (Diamond Cut Remix)

Cinnamon Chasers - Luv Deluxe (Diamond Cut Remix)

And to finish this post I can also announce that Cinnamon Chasers also make great remixes himself, this one of German Florian Kruse is a great one.

Et cetera, et cetera

Have a bit of a cold with headache, a sore throat et cetera. Thought I'd slam up a quick post with these tracks from LA dj, producer et cetera ETC!ETC!. He produces the kind of hard techno-y house that isn't quite fidget that other American acts such as Designer Drugs et cetera produce. You know the kind of music that'll make you want to dance and jump around et cetera too.

Danger - 4h30 (ETC!ETC! Remix)

LAZRtag - Never Gonna Stop (ETC!ETC! Remix)

Cold Blank - Doin' It Right (ETC!ETC! Bassline Remix 2)

ETC!ETC! - Blahster (Original Mix)

Think this text is stupid? Well it is, but I said I have a cold, didn't I?

Sir Lancelot's "So stuck in the 80's" vol. 2

I have to confess I've always dreamed of a mullet like these guys. I mean, how good can you look?! I guess they got more girls (and probably guys too...) in the 80's than Magnum P.I. ever did in his prime time. My favourite has to be the guy in the middle with blue/green velvet jacket.

Here are more 80's tunes from the 80's or just inspired by the 80's:

New remix by Norwegian master of edits. This tune will blow away the dance floor...

New Italian Disco from Italians Do It Better (as an half-Italian I have to agree on that statement) great use of vocoders.

Nice Italo-Disco from 1981 released on mythical Fulltime Records.

Ok, sorry it's actually released 1990...but has a genuine 80s feeling, for me at least.

Cool New Wave song from 1980.

Came out 1982 on Emergency Records.

New 80's Disco in a great version of Mr Wilson.
