Tortured Soul - Did You Miss Me



















這是一個來自布魯克林、少數以演奏方式來詮釋House的三人樂隊,他們將Funk, Soul原汁原味的融入輕快House節拍中,所以,聽起來非常的老學校,和潮流一點關係都沒有,就像Jamiroquai一樣,風格不曾改變過,卻改變了許多人對於這個樂派的認知。

German Top Trance Vol. 3




















現在的我對於Armada所推出的合輯幾乎已經到了完全無法拒絕的地步了,它的每一張合輯總是讓我期待萬分,並且真的可以在裡頭挖掘出許多正點的單曲。這張German Top Trance幾乎可說是Dj Shah所抓刀完成的,收錄了多首他的作品和Aly And Fila重新混音的Back to you,才要說到Samara - Verano這首歌好好聽時,卻發現它仍然是由Roger Shah所混音的。San Antonio Harbour - Romantic Avenue這首也是好聽到爆炸啊!

※關於這次的封面....哈哈!又來了~~應該是會計小姐排的稿子吧?

有一種派對一直在我的遙想裡



Solarstone - Lunar Rings,前一陣子聽這首單曲,都是很陶醉、很快樂的心情,因為它總是能讓我想起許多甜甜的回憶,今天的心情好複雜,聽著它,竟然有些哀傷,大概是現實的狀況讓我了解到,那種美好的境界好像就真的只能夠在腦海中回味,離我越來越遙遠了...。

不斷地跟朋友們約定著在未來如果有優質的戶外Party,一定要好好的重溫舊夢,卻不敢真的去認真期待,什麼叫做優質戶外Party?舞台像網球場那麼大就優質了嗎?百大第幾第幾的DJ來表演就優質了嗎?我想現在有許多的單位都有點失焦了,可不可以是一個真正的Outdoor Party呢?真正可以讓我們享受到自然環境的派對、一個短暫的新天堂樂園,讓我們可以躺在沙灘上看星星、在草皮上赤腳跳舞,或是在深呼吸的時候能夠感受到森林特有的清新空氣,還好仍然有個馬沙溝,否則我恐怕就要一直憔悴下去了...。

也許很多場所要推行活動會有困難,但是,可不可以不要苟且到在馬路旁邊辦活動啊?我還真懷念以前參與的一些Party,雖然沒有豪華的聲光設備或是爆炸的人氣,但是,當環境是如此迷人時,你自然就會更加的投入在音樂裡頭,那個時候的活動主辦單位就像一個孩子王一樣,帶著我們這群舞客上山下海,到處去探索冒險,那些畫面、那種感覺已經深深刻劃在我們心裡,我們也為曾經參與過而感到驕傲無比。

看看北京辦的活動 - 北京電子音樂會

Ronin - PlackTown Sounds Vol.1




















不同於許多Plastic City的唱片,Ronin的風格顯得更加的Chillout且小巧輕盈,微微的Jazz韻味和無重力感將歌曲揉合出濃郁的時尚感受,很低調內斂的手法仍無法遮蔽掉Ronin的銳利鋒芒。

Loco Dice - The Lab 01 (2009)


















幽暗、深邃的一段重度迷幻旅程,儘管沒有討喜的厚實音牆,光是那些玄妙細緻的Minimal音色來回穿梭,就已經足夠讓你立刻陷入那個黑洞裡頭了,Loco Dice又再一次展現出他那巫師般的出神絕活!

Mlle Caro & Franck Garcia - Pain Disappears




















這張專輯中有低調和緩的Indie Rock,也有深沈、科技感十足的Tech House,天馬行空的拼貼與融合具有明顯的法國人創作風格,這些組合方式和巧妙思惟不會出自Plastic City,更不可能出現在MOS,只有Kitsuné或是Buzzin' Fly等廠牌會獨厚此味並將其發散出來。
