James Drake...



Bombé and Mr. Caribbean,
a Philadelphia DJ duo, have created quit the delightful mash-up to my ears. Combining art/official favorite James Blake with critically acclaimed Drake (the title of the mixtape is James Drake), the pair has created a sound described by Mr. Carribean as "… a soundtrack for sippin Robitussun & Alize in an abandoned Cathedral, covered in a velvet blanket with a sexy stranger on a dark night…"

I couldn't agree more. Enjoy.

James Blake live at SxSW!


NPR went to SxSW this past weekend and got some amazing live footage . Rising post-dubstep/soul singer James Blake has been an obsession of mine for a while now. The new self titled album is one of my favorites of the last year by far. Below I have included a link, along with the setlist, for live performance footage of one of Blake's four SxSW shows at Stubb's. I have always said you must have a real sound system in order to fully appreciate Blake's music. This is especially the case for the track "Limit To Your love." I think you will find the bass doesn't translate at all in the footage as it would live or on the studio album. I guess that just means you'll have to go see him in person :).

~~James Blake Live at SxSW

1) “Unluck”
2) “Limit To Your Love”
3) “Klavierwerke”
4) “Lindesfarne II”
5) “The Wilhelm Scream”
6) “To Care (Like You)”

The set is short, but sweet. Enjoy!


Love,
Aaron

More James

I know I just posted some James Blake, but since then I have become hooked. His new album is to be released in February, but copies are already floating around. Really only knowing Blake as an electronic producer, on hearing his voice I have been blown away. I couldn't recommend the album enough to those looking for a very fresh sound. The album in it's entirety is an experience to say the least. Here is one more track from the album. I know I may say this often, but this track MUST BE PLAYED LOUD on a system with A LARGE SUB-WOOFER. The feel of the song will not ring through if the sub is missing from the equation. The track has actually been out since October, but I have 0 problem posting it now. So without further ado here is James Blake covering Feist's "Limit to your Love."
