Jessica 6 – See the Light

First off I would like to apologize for the long absence….I was in the process of moving from Switzerland back to NY and time kind of got away from me. Now I am back in the city that never sleeps and surrounded by new and exciting music so hopefully it will be much easier to get back on that horse.

Which I suppose is why I have chosen “White Horse” by Jessica 6 to start things off. A couple months ago I ended up on a plane with these guys going from Zurich to Berlin. Later that night, by complete chance, I happened to hit the same club they were performing at. You only have to see these guys one time to get totally hooked, well at least that’s all it took for me. Dizzying disco with groovy baselines and sultry vocals, it’s pretty much what I imagine a night at Studio 54 might have been like, well….minus the coke.

Check out their new album See the Light if you get the chance, def a good listen. You might even find some funky hip hop/R&B tracks hidden in there.

Kid Cudi feat. Crookers (Tevar edit) – Embrace the Martians

Maybe it’s just because I’m missing the super Euro clubs of Switzerland, but I’m really feeling this unofficial Kid Cudi remix by Italian DJ, Tevar. Check it out below.

Rye Rye

Even though she looks like she is about 12 years old…don’t let Rye Rye fool you, this Baltimore based protégé of M.I.A. packs a punch. I’m just mad she didn’t show up to last month’s Dante Fried Chicken party at Galapagos, becuase to be honest I don’t think I can handle trying to navigate through the sea of hipsters that will be at the M.I.A. concert at McCarren Park Pool (which Rye Rye will be opening at). In the meantime, I’ll just check out her video while I fail miserably at trying to learn that dance.

Santogold at Virgin Records!!!!

So Santogold’s album dropped yesterday, and you better believe I was at the Virgin Record Store at 9:30 in the morning making sure I got my my wristband to see her perform later that night! I’m not sure what kind of performance (or person) I was expecting, but I sure didn’t get it…and that is definitely not a bad thing. Judging by her music and pictures I was expecting someone that was really eccentric and outspoken, which I’m sure she probably can be. Instead yesterday, this cute, tiny, charming woman in black pants and a leotard is on stage almost in tears discussing how happy she is that her album was finally released. Overall it was a great performance and I absolutely love her CD!

There was one unscheduled visit during the meet and greet, when out of nowhere Lil’ Mama jumps in front of the line to take a picture with Santogold and then begins to walk down the line to shamelessly plug an upcoming performance of hers. Really? Some people have no shame…

Oh, and for all of those folks who keep trying to compare her to M.I.A. or keep calling her a copy…take a listen to the album and then back off. Santogold can stand on her own two feet.

Here is a crappy video I took of the performance…
