Electronic | Axel Thesleff Drops New Track, “2 Down”
Posted by VMan on December 11, 2020
Axel Thesleff recently put out an uplifting melodic bass infused single and music video for a track called “2 Down” and it’s a feel good track that is much needed with everything going on in the world right now. The single represents letting go of the cycle of negativity to welcome one’s inner light and forgiveness. Ethereal vocals and synths in flux pair with a mother’s journey through meadows and streams of Lapland as she overcomes the worst of sufferings and finds a gratitude towards life. Check out a quote from Axel on the release and the visual below, under that watch the video for “2 Down “. Enjoy!
“The 2 Down music video depicts a journey of a lonely backpacker in a vast, dreamlike landscape of a never-ending mountain range. The traveler seems to be completely lost in thought. Painful memories start to arise from the past and she is forced to dive into them. She must fight the demons of guilt, blame, and sorrow within in order to break free from this mental dissonance and find forgiveness, acceptance, and gratitude to replace them. The story is about overcoming the worst of sufferings and clearing one’s mind from agony. It’s about facing one’s deepest fears and painful emotions head-on and growing from them as a person. No one is perfect and sometimes one needs acceptance in order to move forward in life and strive to do one’s best. Life is short, and we should be spending it loving each other instead of fighting. Ultimately, 2 Down is about gratitude towards life”. -Axel

Dubstep | Fenech Soler – Demons (Minnesota Remix)
Posted by Mach on February 1, 2012
I am dedicating this post to someone very close to me, they know who they are and thats all that matters. Your doubts and demons are only shadows of what you really are. Minnesota is one of my favorite producers, his California Dreamin’ remix is on of my favorite tracks. Demons by Fenech Soler is a great track to remix, and I am sure everyone is familiar with the Sigma remix. This remix from Minnesota is just as incredible as Sigma’s. The melodic vibe is kept the same, although I would argue Minnesota’s beat supports the vocals much better. This is all around another great remix.

Hip-Hop | Lil Wayne- Do It Again
Posted by Juicebox on November 7, 2010
Do you know why this sounds good? Because it’s being recorded by a sober Wayne. (Yes, this track was created during the time of the Carter III. Although I know he wasn’t “sober” during the album creating process, it’s clear that he was sober on this individual song. Just listen to his voice.) I know everyone is going to say, but “A”… All his creativity comes from drinking that horrendous cough syrup. False. It’s a new day for Wayne. If you’ve done some light reading like I have, you’ll know that Wayne can’t drink any alcoholic substances for the next three years under the terms of his probation.
Here’s what I expect to happen in the coming months. Either Wayne will be able to fight his demons, clean house at “Young Money”, and sober up, or he’ll fall back into his old ways and rot away in jail for a few more years. Although I expect the latter to happen, I don’t actively wish it on him. Which brings me to another point.
What’s up with everyone saying “Welcome Home Weezy”? Do you really think he reads your Facebook status update or your blog? We’re talking about Lil Wayne. We’re talking about someone who can’t even cut their own steak because they’re so lazy focused on music. I doubt he’s even capable of surfing the internet.
My point is, why are we actively glorifying someone who is a convicted felon? Why do we act like him coming home is a bigger deal than all the important political and social issues that are going on in the world right now? I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to be friends with Lil Wayne. Who wants to be associated with someone who commits crimes and was a former addict? Maybe I’ve missed the boat, but that’s just how I see it.
Bottom line, we shouldn’t be putting these “artists” on a pedestal. They’re people just like you and I (minus the criminal record) that happen to have a knack for making music. The only reason they’re in the position that they’re in is because of fans. So next time you exalt an artist to “god-like” status, and think about welcoming them home like you would a personal friend, ask yourself whether or not they’re worthy of your admiration and attention.
