another reason to use an ampersand
Gabriel & Dresden
are back together!
Just so you guys know…
Did a mashup of their vocals and a Deadmau5 track for them a while back (out of a G&D withdrawal), and thank God they are back together.
Josh’s listener friendly tech savvy and Dave’s obvious knack for picking the most iconic melodies in dance music is what made them a dynamic duo the first time around,...

more alessandro
So Alessandro Cortini. What a musically talented and blessed individual. I’ve only just begun my trek back through the NIN catalog, but the tiniest bit I’ve heard of Alessandro on the internet leaves no doubt that he was (maybe still is??) a massive influence on the NIN/”Trent Reznor” sound.
I’ve already posted the vimeo video of “Happy,” but these next...
Christmas Day Promo Mix.
Sort of a mini-mix as it says in the audio-watermark, as it’s less that an hour long, but it still embodies my taste in dance music, so it’s well worth posting. Starts off with an indie dance remix by Yuksek (personal fave of mine), moves into dubby prog territory, and then finishes off with a track that could easily be considered (dare I say it… !!!) …. dubstep. ...

Deadmau5 x Gabriel & Dresden
Just another case of stumbling upon an epic harmony between two tunes. These two go together like pb & j. 320 for the DJs. Click the image. Enjoy!

/////innersection
Taylor Steele’s interactive video project, “Innersection” isn’t really news, but the surfing that takes place in these submissions is making me wonder if what I’m doing is even considered surfing. Or maybe what they’re doing isn’t considered surfing. I don’t know. Either way it’s rad and should get you amped to go try some nuts shit on a...

it's been awhile
For whatever reason, I haven’t felt like writing anything here in a while. But here’s a little nonsensical blog post to make sure I at least put one in for April.
But does it float? is a nice little art blog that I’ve been cruising around, via fffound. Here’s a couple of my favorite images:
In other news, the new Zoot Woman album is pretty great. There’s an...

F**K YESSS
Wrote up a little article about the first FUCK YESSS party coming up in April. Got a little love in the form of free music there too. Not 320s so don’t get your hopes up! Check it out…

NYPC
On March 1st, New Young Pony Club released their second full length album entitled “The Optimist” and it’s fucking groovy. They have thankfully evolved from their minimalist funky synth pop, which there was absolutely nothing wrong with, into something with a little more depth. “Lost a Girl” has been a bit of a personal anthem since it’s release a couple...

guess what I ffffound?
FFFFOUND! is an image bookmarking site that just so happens to catalog some of the cleanest and coolest visual art around. A lot of it has a vintage print look to it, and I frequently head to this site for inspiration. This girl is pretty attractive also. Check out FFFFOUND! here.

I Will Be Here
I really wish there were more producers of dance music that didn’t have the unfailing habit of turning great songs to shit. Here’s a flow chart of what I think is going on here: Attention given to some release. ——> Popular DJ/Producer expected to remix it yielding two possibilities. —1—> Said DJ/Producer turns a beautiful melody into a lifeless...

PHOENIX_aTakeAwayShow.
La Blogotheque is who we have to thank for the realization of this amazing idea:
About the Take away shows: Every week, we invite an artist or a band to play in the streets, in a bar, a park, or even in a flat or in an elevator, and we film the whole session. Of course, what makes the beauty of it is all the little incidents, hesitations, and crazy stuff happening unexpectingly. Besides,...
the morning benders
I remember when I was eleven or twelve years old and I would go on these boy scout trips with a couple of my nerdier friends (come on it’s boy scouts). There was always this one kid’s dad who would drive us and he insisted on only listening to the oldies radio station. I always hated it. I was listening to stuff like Nirvana and Silverchair, not this mellow nonsense that felt like...

/* february promo mix */
Hope you guys enjoy the new 68 minute long dj set. I suggest you throw a party, get everybody nice and loose, pop this thing in and fucking get moving. Pretty much the whole thing is bumping nice and hard, but I had to close out on a little bit of a melodic note with the Morgan Page remix. Mr. Gartner took up a considerable slice of this mix, so special thanks to him, and Yuksek… dude....

shooting with a film SLR
Three weeks ago I came across my dad’s old Canon EOS Rebel Ti, with a couple of rolls of film that hadn’t been used in at least 6 years. In his camera bag he had two lenses: a 28-90mm, f4-f5.6 that came with the body and a telephoto 100-300mm, f4.5-f5.6. I didn’t realize when I started just how slow these lenses were, and it’s pretty tough to get any depth of field...

_BT_theseHopefulMachines
I’m not going to do a full review of BT’s new album, “These Hopeful Machines,” but I am going to dedicate a little blog post to it. I’ve been a BT fan (like think “fanatic” kind of fan) for somewhere around 7 or 8 years. I was first attracted to his work by albums “Emotional Technology” and “Movement in Still Life” and like so...

go brett gnarly.. yes about surfing.
So psyched to see Brett Barley getting the exposure he deserves after his performance in the Volcom Pipeline Pro. An east-coaster snagged the highest heat score of the event with a 19.67 (10 + 9.67). Seems like a super humble, down to earth kid, strong Christian, and he charges pipe like a mad man. Here’s another blog post to add to the deluge of media coverage he’s...

MACHOTAILDROP
Winners of “The Fuel TV Experiment” short film contest Corey Adams and Alex Craig were awarded a million dollars toward their next feature film. Machotaildrop is that film. It hasn’t been released yet but from the looks of this trailer it’s right up my alley. Here’s what The Fader had to say about the film:
Machotaildrop is ostensibly a skateboarding movie,...

Stole this one from surfer Dion Agius’ blog. Street photographer Matt Stuart shoots strictly film (digital for commissioned work), capturing some truly unique moments. This one is pretty clever.

.charlie.edmiston..and.BL!SSS.
Cruised over to the BL!SSS blog today to see the work of LA based graffiti/graphic artist Charlie Edmiston. Very cool stuff. Didn’t really scour the internet.. more like casually browsed.. but I did not see any real interviews or written press on this dude. Really clean cali vibe to his work. Lots of nice, bright pastel colors and polygonal designs for the interior stuff. Check out...

“I spy… Spiderkid.”
I want to make something abundantly clear: I do not know the first thing about visual art. I have never taken a single class or read a single book. So when I make statements about the art that I post here, it is only my humble opinion which I’m sure is influenced by my musical training. I do believe that all art forms are alternative avenues of...

yuksek
Yuksek is a producer that I’ve stumbled across recently who really impresses me. His music isn’t necessarily experimental or pushing any boundaries, but what I think it does is perfectly combine all the elements of nu disco, electro house, electro pop, and french house music in a way that is hard-hitting yet very polished and accessible. In this interview he describes himself as a...

A mix of mostly indie dance and electro, a dash of prog, and some M83 to set the mood. Enjoy!

datassette
One of my most treasured finds this past year, Datassette is the nom du plume of J.M Davies, a technologist who I am convinced could produce a quality 8-bit tune while beating me in number munchers on a PC manufactured in 1988. Sure, a lot of his work is way to IDMy and abstruse even for me, but he’s certainly capable of some ace remixes and glittery electropop to keep you smiling and...
