I posted about this French comic book hero just over a year ago and wow, what a progression he’s made. Janski Beeeats’ new stuff compared to his old stuff is like comparing a rusty rice rocket to a red gleaming Ferrari; the bite is crispier, the notes are tidier and the overall ride is just plain improved.

Keep in mind these tracks were mastered in a basement, by a teenager, wearing a dinosaur mask.

I posted about these kids back when the days were still warm and afternoon naps were a daily routine. I’ve been peevishly waiting for some new material to sanctify my summer nostalgia.  Lemaitre changed up their style a bit; somehow they fused french funk, filth, glitch, indie and acid into a single 5-star banger.

Yasumo might sound like Japanese anime, but they’re actually an Australian based funk band. Yanni Nair and Simon Salerno hold down the fort with ostentatious guitar upstrokes, bouncing baselines and silver-tongued swag.

I’m not sure what it is, but funk and house compliment each other better than Netflix and hot cocoa on a placidly mellow November afternoon.

Yasumo – Can’t Stop <-♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

New York City’s own Escort released “Cocaine Blues” last September, but somehow this week was my first time hearing it. Disco vibes with catchy vocals easily bump this groove up to flavor of the month. This track is pure gold; If you haven’t before, you’ll want to ride the white horse.

For me, Kaskade has been the great white buffalo. He slipped past my schedule at EDC 2010, and I won’t even mention the Sunset Blvd fail. I finally got to experience him, in all his glory, at the unexpectedly satisfying Identity Festival. Well, this morning I was driving up the gorgeous 101 and blasting Kaskade’s brand spankin’ new album, “Fire & Ice”. Roaring mountains, Scenic beaches and good house music, what more can a man ask for?

He really outdid himself with this one. As his 8th studio album, Kaskade dabbled with the unconventional and broke this EP into two parts. One half, codenamed ICE, is absorbing, artistic and well-produced house. The stuff Kaskade truly enjoys creating.

The other half, titled FIRE, is gorgeous, exciting and most importantly, banging. The stuff we love to dance to.

A lot of artists these days are making a style of music that they think we want to hear. My hat goes off to you Kaskade; it’s good to know some musicians still stick to their roots. Keep up the amazing work, just no more street parties, please.
