YouTube/SoundCloud Music (and a cat)

Music Time!

The Organ Donors have been one of my "producers I take note of" for a while.

Glitchy, tech-y, hard-ish, techno-y dance goodness.

I found this a little while ago; Katy Perry's E.T. remixed by Noisia. It is very good. They gave the track the punch it needed ;P The music video for the original is quite interesting too (for a top forties MTV style video; I'm not saying it's good per se, just more interesting than your run of the mill pop music video). I liked the alien makeup.

While I'm linking dubstep here's a link to my favorite track from Phutureprimitive (linked in my previous post). Xotica.

Lastly for the music related things; Metric - Gimmie Sympathy is a nice hard house remix by my favorite hard house DJ/producer at the moment, Rodi Style. It's another track that once again has been given a bit more omph via a harder genre injection :P

Finally! The kitty! It's been viewed 4 million times but I only just saw it today (I had known about the famous Japanese kitty beforehand however ;P)

Art related post - Android Jones and Phutureprimitive

One of my favourite activities is trawling the Internet and finding new things. It  all started yesterday when I went searching for a new wallpaper for my netbook. There's one image in particular I had a long time ago as a wallpaper (I lost the original when I formatted my old desk top) that I have always loved and so I headed off to that dark corner of the Internet populated by angsty teens and apparently  hordes of basement dwellers; 4chan! An old default Internet location of mine (although no longer; I find it can get quite depressing and counter-productive.). /wg/ however has never failed to deliver on the wallpaper front. I read the sticky and discovered a site called tineye, (a reverse image search engine) chucked in the small image I had and ended up finding the artist of the image, Android Jones. He does very beautiful work. A nice mix of abstract and sci-fi fantasy which hits all my happy buttons. Below is from his website.

So anyway, I had to track him down and like him one Facebook and lo and behold there is a link to music on the pages wall! The description included the word electronica and the name; Phutureprimitive. Of course I'm intrigued (I have a near compulsive need to find new electronic music, I can't really describe it, new wonderful music is like finding a new best friend). I went through all of YouTube videos of their tracks I could find and I have say the music is lovely. It's atmospheric elements allow it to be reflective, inspiring and motivational while it's gritty, bass filled downtempo-ness lends it a steady, solid energy.  Go listen :)

Chernobyl Recordings

...and from human disaster;  thriving wildlife.

"Chernobyl Choruses"
"Since the nuclear catastrophe of April 26 1986, and in complete contrast to human life, nature at Chernobyl is thriving. The evacuation of people has created an undisturbed haven and wildlife has taken full advantage. Animals and birds absent for many decades – wolves, moose, black storks – have moved back and the Chernobyl exclusion zone is now one of Europe’s prime wildlife sites. Radiation seems to have had a negligible effect."

I really think the world will be fine once we wipe ourselves out via various nuclear means :P
