Punks Jump Up are a DJ crew out of the UK and they teamed up with Dave from Chromeo to drop this great track for all of the funkateers out there. The music video is awesome and the track is even better. Great for the summertime vibes. Their new EP is dropping on 4/30 and it comes with some great remixes.]]> http://audioabsinthe.com/blog/2012/04/punks-jump-up-featuring-dave-1-of-chromeo-mr-overtime/feed/ 0 CARLOS SERRANO – “Something About The Fire (ADELE vs DAFT PUNK)” http://audioabsinthe.com/blog/2012/03/carlos-serrano-something-about-the-fire-adele-vs-daft-punk/ http://audioabsinthe.com/blog/2012/03/carlos-serrano-something-about-the-fire-adele-vs-daft-punk/#comments Sun, 04 Mar 2012 21:29:45 +0000 Spencer http://audioabsinthe.com/blog/?p=3784 Carlos Serrano did a great job with this mash up.

New fire from New Kingdom – “808″ from their upcoming EP, Attention Whore.  Such a great track and these guys are incredible performers.  I can’t wait to see this and the rest of the new tracks live.

And Going” http://audioabsinthe.com/blog/2011/11/icebird-rjd2-aaron-livingston-going-and-going-and-going/ http://audioabsinthe.com/blog/2011/11/icebird-rjd2-aaron-livingston-going-and-going-and-going/#comments Tue, 29 Nov 2011 19:19:53 +0000 Spencer http://audioabsinthe.com/blog/?p=3720

RJD2 is a master of style. Whether it’s hip hop, funk, classic rock, or whatever it is, he blends genres together with perfection to create his own signature style. With Icebird, his project with Aaron Livingston, the evidence of this signature style is matched by Livingston’s cool, carefree vocals. The result is music that I can’t get out of my head, songs that I find myself playing over and over. And over.

The collaboration between AM and Shawn Lee started after AM heard Lee’s Music and Rhythm album on the radio in Los Angeles (KJazz’s Miles Perlich to be exact). After reaching out to Lee via email the two became quick friends sharing a similar love for vintage grooves and ‘60s and ‘70s soundtrack music. The two decided to record together after AM played guitar on a few of Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra shows (including KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic”) in the summer of 2010. Lee, armed with a four-track and other vintage tape machines in his London studio, started sending AM drum and percussion beats in December 2010. In Los Angeles, AM responded by writing and recording songs over the grooves, adding guitars, Casio synths, vocals and occasional bass and emailing the tracks back to Lee in London. Lee then added more instrumentation such as bass, keys, guitars, glockenspiel and other assorted instruments and mixed the tunes. The LA to London cyber collaboration results in a completely unique brand of “electro-soul”. Over the past few months fans could see their back and forth notes often written on Facebook. This new project sees the duo propel each other into their best work yet. AM’s honeyed vocals ride a driving percussion section straight into walls of shimmering guitars and glassy keyboards pulling elements as disparate as Gary Numan, Jorge Ben, and Ariel Pink into 3:54 of perfect future pop. Tweet it. Like it. #coolnewshite  -AM

“We have swum out of the mire to present you with a ‘farewell to summer’ tune. It is a melancholic mash-up of sorts, using elements from a few sources, with the track ‘This Space’, by the excellent Woolfy vs. Projections as the starting point. The original can be found here. As usual, we have gone on a complete journey with this, and think we have come up with a perfect late summer cinematic – we hope you agree!”
