[EXCLUSIVE] Video Interview With Mansions On The Moon
Los Angeles 4-piece group Mansions on the Moon like to have a good time. And they like to rock. And chill. And they’re pretty much just like any normal group of guys, except they’re ready to chill-rock the world. Mansions On The Moon’s music fuses diverse styles, sounds and influences from electronic music, hip-hop, indie rock, and pop; so don’t try nailing these guys’ sound down to one genre. Incorporating vocal harmonies,... Read More
[INDIE/ELECTRO] Foster the People, A-Trak, and Kimbra – “Warrior”
Ok, this could be one of the coolest three ways in a song this year and it’s all thanks to our friends over at Converse and Journeys. I missed their first release in the form of the Gorillaz, Andre 3000, James Murphyy collaboration with “DoYaThing.” But the music centric shoe company has just released another creative collab that includes Mark Foster (from Foster The People), producer A-Trak, and songstress Kimbra. This is definitely... Read More
[ELECTRO] Foster the People – “Don’t Stop” (Joe Maz Remix) **Preview**
Miami producer and DiscoTech member Joe Maz has dropped his preview of yet another Foster The People remix with his upbeat electro take on “Don’t Stop.” As it is still a preview, we can expect the final edit to be a bit more filled out but it’s still a great start. The bouncy track features a cool, Guns N’ Roses-like guitar halfway through before dropping into a heavy dance beat that I am pretty fond of. I can’t... Read More
[ELECTRO] Foster The People – “Don’t Stop” (TheFatRat Remix)
I’m a little late on this one, but wanted to get it posted nonetheless since it saw a huge explosion of success all over the blogosphere. Awesome new remix coming from German producer TheFatRat in the form of Foster The People‘s “Don’t Stop.” And in case you’re wondering, no, this is not the last Foster The People remix we will hear. But if they are as catchy and uplifting as TheFatRat makes them out to be, then... Read More
[INDIE/ROCK] Foster the People – “Machu Picchu” (The Strokes Cover)
One of the hottest bands on the indie track right now is undoubtedly Foster The People. “Pumped Up Kicks” was the only real runner in this category that got any air time and single handedly kept the genre alive in the Top 40 category. Now Foster The People have taken some of their klout and moved it into covering The Strokes‘ “Machu Picchu” during a recent stint at BBC Radio 1. A little different than what you might... Read More
[MORE OF] Foster The People – Pumped Up Kicks cover + remix
It’s been a long time since Foster The People have released “Pumped Up Kicks.” Nonetheless, I continue to hear this song get remixed, then remixed, and remixed a bit more. But sometimes there are ones worth sharing, such as the following cover and remix. The first is a cover by Cris Cab, taking a whole different approach to the song and bringing in some of his own instrumentation, giving the song a beautiful beachy-summertime... Read More
The Sights and Sounds Remix City!
With the rise in technology and the advent of the bedroom producer comes a mass amount of music. Have the patience and the right download and you have access to music making gear that gives you the ability to cut, chop, sequence, layer, effect, and pretty much do anything to a song you want. There are literally thousands of remixes on the web and it’s hard to sift through the mass amount of bytes to get to the gems. That’s why I’m... Read More
Lollapalooza 2011 – Foster The People
Los Angeles indie rock band Foster The People rose in popularity pretty quickly. Their first hit Pumped Up Kicks enjoyed time on the Hype Machine charts and their performance at South by Southwest was also key to their success. Now they are following up their first EP with their first album “Torches,” due out May 23rd. I was a huge fan of Pumped Up Kicks and from what I’ve heard from their upcoming album, I am not going to be disappointed.... Read More
