TAMARA SKY

Tamara Sky – Lil Death Vol 2.0

tamarasky — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 22:34:00 +0000

For the past 6 months, The Overthrow Collective and I have been performing this sort of experimental party in Downtown LA called Lil Death. The project is essentially a weekly event centered around a very specific tech-noir sound that we like to call “Gotham Wave.” To tantalize your curiosity, I’ve just released version 2.0 of our Lil Death mix series with influences of post-punk, industrial, french techno, and witch house.

Lil Death’s slogans “Long Live the new Flesh” draws it’s inspirations from the post-physical reality that we get closer to ever day. This eclectic mix is electronic and organic sound is an homage to the ever wavering struggle we have with totally accepting this new prosthetic digital nervous system that has begin to connect us all.

STEVE MOORE/MAJEURE-BRAINSTORM

tamarasky — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:12:01 +0000

Alas, my enduring obsession with all things Steve Moore continues, including his many aliases Gianni Rossi, Lovelock & Zombi. When I first heard his music a couple of years ago, I couldn't find a trace of him online, swearing ownership to some presumed relic from my parent's generation. To date I still haven't figured out if he's from the past or the future, nonetheless Steve Moore's cinematic sound is arguably the driving inspiration to a few of my favorite producers.

Brainstorm, released by Temporary Residence, is a split LP between Steve Moore and Majeure, both founding members of the sci-fi, progressive synth rock duo Zombi. If you're looking for a cerebral, tense, dark, dreamy, atmospheric and apocalyptic odyssey to maintain your insanity... then this is what you need to listen to .

Check out some of his other tracks that are on repeat in my spaceship:

Just in case you didn't know, I used a Gianni Rossi track on my mixtape Gonzo Wave which is free to download.

KAVINSKY – ROAD GAME

tamarasky — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:19:48 +0000

For those of you who listen to my mixtapes or just love great music, I'm excited to announce that one of my favorite french electronic music producers (since 2006 & forever), KAVINSKY, is releasing his highly anticipated EP soon this year (thumbs up if you knew about Kavinsky before Drive).

Little is known about him other than he was killed in a car accident in 1986 with his beloved Ferrari Testarossa, and in 2006 came back from the dead in Zombie form with his 12-inch 'Teddy Boy'. His production style reminds me of those synth heavy, dark, full & cinematic awesome Horror film soundtracks of the 1980s. He has also been compared to other great French artists including Daft Punk and Danger.

Below the teaser of Kavinsky's his new album.

Disco Ruido

tamarasky — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 09:54:38 +0000

If you speak spanish you've probably heard about this band, but if you haven't I'm always stoked to introduce people to new music. In this case I'm talking about the indie/electronic band Disco Ruido from Mexico. Outside their hometown of Mexico City, they've received some international recognition: being nominated for Best Mexican Artist in the Independent Music Awards of Spain. In Mexico they've performed with indie american bands like TV On The Radio (love them) & The Drums.

Their single Morfeo from the album Sistema Solar is my favorite. The music video was filmed at an abandoned art deco cinema in Mexico City. The track sounds witchy, and there are plenty of mythological references in the video to think this is a song about Morpheous, the Greek god of dreams. Check it out below.

Free download the Morfeo EP here.

Daniel Maloso

tamarasky — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 04:28:04 +0000

A couple of months ago in the search of rare gems I came across a song that really caught my attention. From it's futuristic, spacey psychedelic sound and galloping baseline I thought it was something made during the 80's in Europe when Italo Disco was in full throttle, then I heard a harsh male spanish vocal… I must admit I was confused but very excited being of spanish descent myself.

This song is called "Ritmo Especial" by Daniel Maloso released in 2010 under label Cómeme. Daniel was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico representing a new sprouting breed of young latin american producers. He's live shows are filled with catchy tunes, monophonic synths, drum machines & hypnotic rhythms. A place where old and new collide! Check out the single below and his new EP Hijos de José. Share with your friends!

Housse De Racket: Alesia

tamarasky — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 23:18:20 +0000

I'm a huge fan of any music coming out of France, so I'm glad to introduce you to Kitsuné's Parisian duo Housse De Racket, composed by Pierre Leroux and Victor Le Masne. Their music is a mix of indie-dance and psychedelic electro-pop, mostly with French lyrics, and can be compared to the sounds of the superb Two Door Cinema Club. Today, they have released their second album, “Alesia”, named album of the month by Mixmag, and the band is offering you the original of "Roman" and a remix by Oliver for free. Download below and enjoy!

Schlachthofbronx – Mudders EP

tamarasky — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:16:41 +0000

Munich's impossibly named duo, Schlachthofbronx, just came out with their EP for Mixpak titled "Mudders", backed with remixes by Toddla T and Canblaster&Myd. When I heard the original my jaw dropped, I've never heard anything like it and I loved it. Sounds like some weird stabby rhythm african techno with extremely high energy bouncy dancehall music, armed with sirens and jumping synths ... Let's put it like this, if Super Mario did drugs and was Jamaican this is what the game would sound like (lol!).

Kreayshawn: Little White Girl That Could

tamarasky — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 04:51:50 +0000

One thing we can all agree on is that most white girls are lacking in the swag department, hence the reason a bad-ass white female artist in the Hip-Hop world has been unheard of... until now. Has the gap been filled with the 21-year-old Kreayshawn? After putting some "basic bitches" in check with her viral YouTube music video "Gucci Gucci" raking in over 9M views since uploaded in May, now the hit has been nominated for Best New Artist at the 2011 VMAs. As if this wasn't enough to impress, she's even going to be directing a music video for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. At the moment Nicky Minaj seems to be holding the crown in the female Hip-Hop industry, but now that Kreayshawn is coming in "pumping swag out of her ovaries," I'm definitely interested where this movement is going...or more pressing, what's the follow up hit, Kreayshawn?! Oh yeah... That would be "Rich Whores":

[soundcloud url="http://soundcloud.com/hypetrak/kreayshawn-rich-whores"]

"I really wanna empower girls. There's no one empowering women at all. Beyoncé does a good job. Everyone else is, like, 'Go party!' Lady Gaga is just on some crazy 'not even be yourself, but be EXTREMELY INSANE' [thing]. I just think there's room for a voice like mine. I don't own a dress. I have wide feet, I can't even wear heels," she says.
