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.

Ambient, Chill | Atu – Doubts

Posted by on January 2, 2014

Here’s another lovely track to kick off January right. Atu’s original track “Doubts” has a superb atmosphere and some really smooth piano in it. Ambient and classy, I have no doubt (haha get it) that this track is excellent. If we had a tab for “baby making music” I would definitely pop this track in there. The little extra section at the end is especially pretty. Big ups to Atu for this one!

Electro | Eekkoo – Eekkoo EP

Posted by on December 22, 2013

Eekkoo - Eekkoo EPHailing from Montreal, the Canadian producer releases a three track EP on the only label that seems fit for his music, deadmau5’s mau5trap. Eekkoo provides a wide variety of plucks, piano stabs and distorted synths over a common theme of fat bass lines, creating a hypnotic piece of dance music from start to finish. While it may be considered a bit close to “deadmau5 style”, Eekkoo has his own sound that has earned the praise of the big boss himself.

DO SOMETHING

Chill, Trap | Drake – Too Much (GXNXVS Remix) (Feat. Sampha)

Posted by on December 3, 2013

I know, I know, you’re sick of seeing remixes of Drake’s songs… But I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this is probably my favorite Drake remix I’ve ever heard, and that’s saying something considering how many Drake remixes I see a day! This came out a week ago, but I don’t feel that it got the recognition it deserves. The vocals cuts are eerie and the piano is fantastic. Australian artist GXNXVS doesn’t have a lot of Soundcloud support, so go follow him and download this track for free!

Dubstep | Rollz – Burn Up feat. Katie’s Ambition (Dabin Remix)

Posted by on December 1, 2013

I always get excited about a new dubstep release! This melodic remix from Dabin of “Burn Up feat. Katie’s Ambition” by Rollz is a good addition to any dubstep collection. It’s got low rolling growls mixed with powerful female vocals. The piano and strings give it a cinematic and intense feel. It’s out on Itunes now and if Beatport is more your style it’ll be there on December 9th. Check it out!

Electronic | Cashmere Cat – With Me

Posted by on November 26, 2013

With so many other DJ personalities to attend to and a blossoming career on the rise, it’s understandable we haven’t seen much from Cashmere Cat recently. However, yesterday this kitty premiered his newest track, “With Me,” via Pitchfork and Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show. It’s everything you love about Cashmere Cat, with the distinctive beats, tambourines, soft piano chords, and those gentle builds that cascade one into the next. But “With Me” feels almost a little bit more intimate and softhearted than some of his previous work. Like a Drake ballad, this is the kind of song that when you listen to it alone, makes you feel like it was created just for you.

And it seems there’s more to look forward to! This song is just a preview of Cashmere’s “Wedding Bells” EP, set to release in January via LuckyMe Records. Fingers crossed the kitty doesn’t get cold feet! =^.^=

Electronic | Phazz – You

Posted by on November 20, 2013

Today I’ve got a new track for you from French artist, Phazz, out on the Cream Collective. This track is incredibly mellow, but not in the typical sense of the word mellow, with very prominent drum work. The strings and piano make it soft and haunting. Overall, it’s a very unique and chill track, and it’s free!
