The year was 2008. The month was September. It was a brisk Monday morning. The air was thin and the women were thick. A young Matt Halper emerges from his slumber to once again find sentience in his willy after almost a fortnight without. “Ya swooned me bro” he says as he looks across the room at the bottle of Vaseline he sometimes uses. After a quick shower and a thorough application of Old Spice body spray across his unimpressive body, he headed off to school. It was the first day of the school year and he had just moved from the great state of Wyoming to the northeastern region of Guatemala so he was a tad worried that there wouldn’t be any cute girls there, let alone white people. His slightly racist worries were soon cast aside however when on his way to school, he was kidnapped and held for ransom by a middle aged caucasian woman. She didn’t have a weapon or anything, she just simply overpowered him.

Days became weeks and the weeks peaked at three. On the third week of his capture there was a breakthrough. The woman who had intended to hold him for a ransom changed her mind when she realized he was not a very attractive guy so nobody would really care enough to pay a sizable fund for his release, so she just forgot about him. The unexpected demise of Matt Halper was seemingly inevitable at this point and after being trapped in a dark room for weeks, he had just about given up all hope. That is until he heard the undoing of the lock and the door abruptly open. “Here, take this and come with me” a mysterious hooded person said as they tossed him a small cylindrical thing. Matt and his saviour ran through the door only to be confronted by the woman, who was in fact Darth Vader. It was only then that he looked down and realized what it was he was holding. Matt drew his lightsaber and in tandem with the hooded man, began combat with the Sith Lord. They defeated him swiftly and got on the first flight back to America. They were sitting on the plane when Matt broke the silence, looked at his saviour and asked “who are you?”. “The name’s Eli, Eli Manning”.

And that’s the story of how Matt Halper and Eli Sones, known collectively as The Two Friends met. We had a chance to talk to them about mostly non-music related things and it got pretty heated (they insulted my sister but then said jk so I let it slide). Read on for the interview.

Trap | Woolymammoth – ELLA

Posted by on January 13, 2014

I must say before you play, this track is EXTREMELY unpredictable. It goes from low key trap, to some serious “I’m not playin’ around” trap, back to some light core and then onto the next drop that completely blew my brains out, sounding like something in-between Floss and Skrillex. This track absolutely kills it, thanks to the lovely Ella Fitzgerald herself.

Bass, Chill, Deep House, Electronic | W8’s Top 10 Tracks of 2013

Posted by on December 23, 2013

We’re almost there. A few more days and 2013 will be another one for the books. ‘Tis the time to summarize a score of minty fresh jams that didn’t fade away too quickly this year, which is saying a hell of a lot these days. This compilation could have easily had tracks replaced with others, and all would be the same to me. There is just too many to name that are equally as good but I guess narrowing it down to 10 appeals to us all. Note that this vaporwave clip Feeel by Torus above is my favorite video of the year and is why it’s there. All this said I’ll let you get on with it. Have a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year.

Progressive House | LarsM feat. Mona Moua – Air

The two words “oh wow” when said together by a short, yet kinda tall blond girl, or anybody really, will always make me smile and think back to an awesome thing that transpired in my life that is now forever associated with those special words (it’s not a sexual thing I swear (it is)). I didn’t audibly say those two words but I definitely thought them when I first heard the powerful melody in the build of this song. LarsM, a 19 year old Polish producer who has a vast catalogue of past releases, of which most are free, is known for his (hold on, I’m going to reach into my bulging sack of overused blogger adjectives) “happy” sounding tracks. To say that he is on the same level as Avicii when it comes to catchy melodies might be a bit of a stretch, but he is not far behind. “Air”, his latest original, features the impressive vocals of Mona Moua and boasts an incredibly euphoric melody and drop. I have also included his older song “Earthlike” because it is one of his best tracks and it showcases his ability to create those outstanding melodies.
