Hey guys! Sorry this one is coming in late. I was stuck on UStream watching Louis La Roche and AMTRAC throw down a really, really, ridiculously funky set. “Stuck” actually isn’t a good word for that. I was pretty bummed when it ended actually. Can’t wait til Louis makes his way to LA! Until then, we got HARD LA on Saturday, COACHELLA, T.E.E.D and The Twelves in May. Life is good. Enjoy #88:

I don’t usually buy music, but when I do I prefer to support true underground talent. 21 year old Louis La Roche (AKA Brette Ewels) is nothing new around these parts, and today he surprised me with a ‘single’ that’s two singles? I must be missing something here, but I’m all for it! He collabs with UK rapper Ad-Apt on the title track Untrue. Ad-Apt’s flow works so well on Louis’ tracks, as they’ve collabed before on Missing You (below). Louis also showcases talent beyond his production ability for the first time by singing the chorus! Gotta give the kid some props. Touch Wood takes an instrumental approach influenced by 80s synth pop without using any samples. Can’t get enough of the grooooove.

$5 gets you both in 320, so help him out! I really want him to come to America, and he needs our support. Buy these tracks on BeatPort.

HEY! Pretty interesting week behind and ahead of me. I deactivated my FaceBook and made a new one just to post stuff for C+A+D, and I feel like a new man! It’s crazy how much time is wasted on FaceBook…damn. Well yeah, I did it so I could focus my energy on passing one of my classes. It’s finals week. Which is good news for you, because I’ve compiled a list of mixes I like after the jump. Good luck to people being tested. Stay focused so we can all celebrate at Coachella! That lineup is looking more and more real as the days go by. Regardless, enjoy #87 and the mixes below. Love y’all.

The Hives – Tick Tick Boom
[audio:https://controlaltdelight.com/Music/the%20hives/01%20Tick%20Tick%20Boom.mp3]

This post takes a time machine back to over a decade ago. If you were into the musically relevant in the 2000s, you remember the phase of the “The” bands. The Vines, The Strokes, The White Stripes, and The Hives, where the focus of this Coachella spotlight will be held! Well, if you remember that phase, you remember the sheer rawness of it all. All these grungy kids in their early 20s just pushing rock and roll revival in a fresh, new way.

The Hives – Walk Idiot Walk
[audio:https://controlaltdelight.com/Music/the%20hives/03%20Walk%20Idiot%20Walk.mp3]
The Hives – Outsmarted
[audio:https://controlaltdelight.com/Music/the%20hives/05%20Outsmarted.mp3]

I’ve always been big into how a band presents themselves, and The Hives were one of the bands that led the pack. Always wearing matching suits and rocking out as good as the best of ’em. I love this type of music for its energy. You can’t be sad in a crowd to this music. It pulls everything out of you and brings the crowd together in a very special way. I’m just as excited to see them as I am for rock and roll to cycle back into the spotlight. If it’s done right, it’s the best to see live. Do yourself a favor and see The Hives on Day 3 of Coachella.

Happy Sunday friends! Good to be back with the stench of Coachella becoming that much more pungent. Looks like everyone has pretty much got their goodie-boxes, judging by the hoard of mobile uploads and instagram photos people have been posting on FaceBook. We get it, bro. I haven’t opened mine yet…I just don’t want to think about it! Haha. It’s still not close enough. And if you’re NOT going, don’t fret. Goldenvoice put together a bunch of shows between the two weekends of Coachella artists. They’re calling it Localchella? I dunno. Click here to see that lineup. Until then, we got 4 more lists to go! Enjoy #86:
