There has been an uncomfortably long hiatus around this blog for a while.  You will be glad to know that the wait has not been in vain.  I’ve been busy busy busy in the studio. I am pleased to present to you my new solo project: Cassette Clout.

I’ve been saving this one for a rainy day.  Aeroplane via 2k7.

Let’s switch gears for just a moment.  The Pixel Cooperative is the brainchild of Jonathan Ashley Alford.  ’Conception in late 1987, born in late 2009.’

Now imagine Ethan Kathe popping a Xanax in the studio while Alice Glass takes the day off to rest her weary vocal chords.  This is the sound of SiD.

In contrast, The Cock Fight is drenched with hazy/psychadlic brilliance.

Try to make sense of them together.  Listen to more and show The Pixel Cooperative some support on myspizz

Yes, I’ve been holding out on you.  It’s not for lack of caring but, rather, for lack of time.  Paris is keeping me busy.  So let’s make up for some lost time, shall we?

To start off, here’s some classic disco flavor from Aeroplane.  No explanation needed.

[mp3] Listrom and Solale – Baby I Can’t Stop (Aeroplane Remix)

Here’s one of my favorites from The Twelves recent mixtape.  Patrick Alavi comes through with the French-house flavor.

Grum has been supporting this Klader & Vapen jam recently.  Lovely string bits accompanied by an equally lovely vocal.

[mp3] Klader & Vapen – What Have I Done (feat. Anna Ternheim)

And finally, a very clean edit of the unstoppable Gonzales.  This is truly a stand-out track.

After a brief creativity draught, Classixx return in full force with a tasteful and beautiful smooth jam.

My sincere apologies for the lack of activity recently.  Evidently, internet is a scarce commodity in Paris.  Check back soon for regular updates!

This song has been the soundtrack for my recent [mis]adventures on the Metro.  I find it to be bizzarely beautiful.  I think you’ll like it too.

I’m sincerely sorry for the lack of updates but there’s no internet in my new apartment in Paris.  With such an exciting city though, it’s been nice to take a mini-vacation from the cyber world.

But enough excuses, let’s get back to business.  I’m really loving this feel-good track from Delorean and I think you’ll like it too.
