Today’s Untz: Made Up / Anoraak

Anoraak has been a favorite of mine for sometime now when it comes to “that sound.” I don’t want to pigeon hole him into chillwave so screw the genre’s in this particular case (or always) since it’s a smorgasbord of stylings anyways. From italo disco, to Motown-schooled funk, and sepia-toned pop music, Anoraak has a unique sound that fits right in line with that SoCal mentality despite the fact that he’s from France.

The track above, ‘Made Up’, is an unreleased track made available via youtube for Anoraak’s upcoming US tour. I will be sure to check it out August 4th here in San Francisco. Anoraak was so kind to have also release a remix from Les Loups. It’s a bit glitchier than the original but it mostly stays true. #untz/tom

fifteen in the sierras

5 Jul

Today’s Untz: Fifteen (Rotkraft Remix) / Goldroom

Goldroom’s ‘Fifteen’ has been out for sometime, but after hearing this version/seeing this video I wanted to feature it. I mean it’s summer and there’s love in the air. Breathe it in and enjoy your short time on this earth.

I’m headed to High Sierra Music Festival this weekend up in Quincy, CA so hopefully I’ll have some fun updates from there when I get back. I listen to all types of music from bluegrass to intergalactic unicorn disco, but as far as electronic related music, I’m pumped for STS9, Lotus, and Papadosio. I’ve seen everyone, but Papadosio. Have a safe weekend TUATI readers! #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: Headphones (Moon Boots Remix) / Little Boots

Hop on this free remix today before it’s gone. Moon Boots, in typical fashion, takes a fine indie track from Little Boots and transforms it into a carefree dance tune. One that would be perfect for almost any moment whether that be in the club or on the beach.

I’ve been traveling for the last 12 hours so I’m short for words. Even with my brain relatively fried, I’ve got a sudden burst of positive energy thanks to the booootss. #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: One More Time (Dis:Aux Edit) / Daft Punk

Hey ya’ll I’m the East Coast and almost forgot to post a track… on a Friday?!?! Tha Fu*k? Sooo I’ll just post the jam I’m currently listening to.

A little Daft Punk with some Kurtis Blow? Yes Please! This has the untz and it has the funk. These are a few of my favorite things. #untz/tom

mirror ball

27 Jun

Today’s Untz: Mirror Ball (Cosmonaut’s Ego Trippin Dub) / Auxiliary Tha Masterfader

Today’s track is stuck somewhere in between the world of Tron and the picture above. It’s made for the dancefloor. This isn’t the kind of track  you want to throw on to early. Wait for it…. wait for it… Hit em with it.

Of course the Cosmonauts have been firmly making their mark on the intergalactic disco scene for quite some time. Their music flips the boundary between tripped out house, italo disco, balearica and electronic cosmic synth. It’s fairly obvious this tune fits the bill.#untz/tom

50 shades of stars

25 Jun

Today’s Indie: Bright Star / Ben Watt, Stimming & Julia Biel (Sunset remix)

‘every road that I walk has a bend / has a fall / and I make the choice I make / and I take the path I take’  

I caved at the airport bookstore on a recent vacation and bought 50 Shades of Grey – mostly out of shear curiosity to see what all the buzz was about. I found out about 100 pages in, and now understand why so many people are getting it on E-readers after getting more than a few raised eyebrows of interest on the Muni. As my cheeks turned to various shades of pink the other day I got to thinking about the inevitable upcoming blockbuster (Twilight for adults!) and what sultry soundtrack they will decide to surround the tremendously attractive actors they find to play Grey and Ana with.

Ultimately this remix of Bright Star came to mind – the perfect slow jam with off beat tinges of Thom Yorke like ambience. Even though it is a different sound, it still reminds me somehow of Desiree’s old song Kissing You in the fish tank scene of Baz Luhrmann Romeo and Juliet. Ah, bittersweet young love. #indie / tory

Today’s Untz: Leja / Pryda (Eric Prydz)

This such a beautiful and emotional tune here from Eric Prydz (aka Pryda). He stands alone in his ability to mix commercial success with underground notoriety.

Since his arrival, Eric Prydz has inadvertently broken into uncharted territory for dance music. Festivals, events and venues across the planet have rocked to his performances, safe in the knowledge that they’re witnessing something special. Pryda has become a genre-defining stable and is one of the most successful and influential dance labels in the world. This track is nothing short of brilliant.

Leja’ is taken from ‘Eric Prydz Presents Pryda’, a 3 CD compilation made up of unreleased Pryda productions and classic tracks – OUT NOW

Today’s Untz – Grapevine (VOODOO FARM Remix) / Marvin Gaye

Liam Dirlam, aka VOODOO FARM, is the people’s freak who’s flown his flag higher than the rest us of who dream of doing so. Held down by the man he is not. His nine to five is trying to alleviate us from ours.

After years of over exposure to smoke machines, laser lights, beats, blunts, and chicks begging for his bodacious library of intergalactic tunes to be put into one solid mixtape, he has finally given in. Thanks the space lords for they are kind.

The song specifically featured here today is a remix of ‘Grapvine,’ the classic Marvin Gaye tune. It’s funky, it’s loose, it’s hard. It’s all you could want and more for a hard hitting remix. It also features live bass and guitar from our homie, Robert E Corrigan giving it that live organic feel while still overwhelmingly cosmic. Space bless us all.

You can find his entire mixtape here which features some original tracks as well as remixes of DVBBS, Notorious B.I.G., Whitney Houston, Florence and The Machine, and so on. The list is extensive and the tracks beautifully and melodically persuasive. Don’t expect to kick back and sip some lemonade for this is not his goal. Get yer dancing shoes on and loosen up that neck because heads shall be banging. After listening to this mixtape I can safely say I am ready to unsafely devour this weekend. Check it. #untz/tom

last flight

20 Jun

Today’s Untz: Last Flight (Slow Magic Remix by Thomas Tonfeld) / Fabian

Thomas Tonfeld is a 30 year old German producer of worldwide electronic music who makes house and french electronic music. Last Flight, the first single from Fabian’s debut album ‘Say Goodbye’ came out last year so it’s nice to hear a new take on it.

Thomas Tonfeld slows it down a bit. He adds some spacey synths that certainly suite the summer vibe I’ve been feeling lately. Enjoy! #untz/tom

‘Every morning gotta say goodbye
I wanna thank you for last night.
I don’t remember what we said or did but
I will remember on my flight’

slow down

15 Jun

Today’s Untz: Slow Down / Poolside

‘Slow Down’ is Poolside’s first single from their debut album “Pacific Standard Time” out July 9th 2012. Featured here before, the Los Angeles based duo Filip Nikolic and Jeffrey Paradise are good friends who are inspired by California, mezcal, dancing, good food and wine. Their sound is called Daytime Disco.

It’s an appropriate song for the summer season and the video is perfect as well. So kick back, throw this tune on, and drift away. That’s what Daytime Disco is for. Off to Mexico for me. Cheers #untz/tom
