Fancy Footwork by Chromeo

3 people recommended this item

Description

Though I was allegedly a child of the 80s, I never got to enjoy it at its full glory. Listening to Chromeo makes me think I can do it all over again, but in a more modern way.

Bonafide Lovin sends me right back to big hair and overlapping neon colored geometric shapes. Ahh, memories.

Panamericana: Federico Aubele: Music

First to recommend

Description

I suppose that if you don't listen to much radio, stay away from friends who know about music and shield yourself from culture in your spider hole, you probably wont know about Federico Aubele. However, if you do keep your ears open, you probably heard his sultry sounds resonate in your ear and soul.

My first experience with Federico was when a friend played a track. "This sounds good" I thought. Then I heard more on NPR. "Wow, his other stuff is great!"

So, now I'm hooked. You can be too. Give it a spin / click.

Deltron 3030

First to recommend

Description

Just seconds into the first track you will find yourself thinking 'I know this guy, but from where?"

The truth is that Deltron 3030 goes by many names. Sometimes he is Deltron. Other times he is Russel from the Gorillaz. Other times still, he is Del tha Funkee Homosapien.

No matter what you call him, you cannot deny his musical sense. His beats are superb, if not simple and pure. His lyrics are smart, carefully planned and well executed. No mindless hip-hop here.

If you happen to be among the legions of people who think that rap has lost its soul... check out Deltron 3030.

Booming Back at You: Junkie XL

First to recommend

Description

I love it when a friend comes at me with a music recommendation out of nowhere. Junkie XL? Whats that?

Apparently, I'm a little out of the loop sometimes. If you take the time (and I suggest you do) to listen to the whole album, you will find yourself immersed in a fun world of beats / electronica. Serious and fun sometimes come together in the songs.

When I'm moving a little too slow, I put on a little of this and things pick up really fast.

The Cool By Lupe Fiasco

6 people recommended this item

Description

Lupe sounds fresh and yet he gives off a vibe as if he's been around for a long time. Putting this album on is at the same time like exploring something new and listening to a classic.

Either way, Lupe put together a great album that speaks volumes

Hotel Costes 9

First to recommend

Description

Stephane Pompougnac's 9th take on the Hotel Costes series is just as strong as the first! With songs like Et toutes ces choses, Paris... demain matin... the album sends you on a luxurious trip through Paris, via everywhere else exotic.

Listen to Belle, a song that will stir your senses.

Hotel Costes V.1

Description

The album that stated it all for the Hotel Costes series. This expertly mixed complication started Stephane Pompougnac's career as a musical goddess.

Lots of great world music, mixed, remixed and reinterpreted.

Graduation- Kanye West

12 people recommended this item

Description

Good beats, classic Kanye, great collaborations. Kanye is larger than life, at least he wants us think that he thinks he is. Kanye is a complex man and this album is a great reflection of his personality.

Flashing Lights, Good Morning, Cant Tell Me Nothing and of course, the brilliant Stronger!
