[New Release] Tennis – Make It Good EP (Life And Death)

by

[New Release] ‘Make It Good’ … baby, good is an understatement. The Life And Death label has taken Fink’s original from 2007 and resurrected it 5 years later to make it gratifying. This debut EP from Life and Death founder and co-conspirator Tennis is a testament to the hard working ethos and dedicated artistic force that is behind everything done in the Life and Death name. Deceptively simple is one of the hardest heights a song can aspire to and yet this ep sounds as if it was almost sliced ready-made from the fabric of reality, so deep and so clear is its message. A lovesong sung to an idea, a serenade to an intangible concept that comes out sounding as simple as a mantra but clearly contains much more than just a quick listen reveals. (Absolutely Beautiful Description at Beatport) From Tennis’ original mix, to a tech spin by Ryan Elliott, to a deep dub by Larry Heard, to my favorite interpretation by the sexy italian Lovelifers Tale Of Us  … it’s so much more than good … it’s majestic. If you were a fan of Fink back in the day, give this a chance and go deeper dear lovers.

[New Mix] Life and Death Podcast Number Three by Tennis

by

[New Mix] Just released is the newest episode of the Life and Death Podcast series featuring Tennis. Life and Death has been responsible (as a label and as the artist collab) for some of the best releases and remixes of 2011 and promises a very strong 2012. Their sound seems to be paving a path of its own, disregarding the trendy house movements all together. Follow Life and Death. Do it.

[New Release] Thugfucker, Tale Of Us, Life and Death – Step Aside EP (Visionquest)

by

[New Release] Visionquest releases the latest EP from the magical duo Life and Death (composed of Thugfucker and Tale Of Us) called “Step Aside”. “Step Aside” is a great two track extended play (‘Step Aside (Lightweight)’ & ‘Morgana’) that showcases the skill-set of this collaborative project. We just had the pleasure of hosting Lovelife presents… Masquerade with Tale Of Us this past Saturday (1.21.12) and witnessed first hand the dancefloor damage ‘Step Aside (Lightweight)’ could inflict. It was truly an amazing night with ‘Step Aside (Lightweight)’ serving as a highlight moment from Tale Of Us.

[Festival] BPM Festival 2012 MI4L Picks – Playa Del Carmen, Mexico (December 30th – January 8th)

by

[Festival] This one’s coming up quick… so if you aren’t already in the loop, get movin’, or you can save up for next year… Here’s the scoop: For ten days and long nights, Playa Del Carmen will be the backdrop for the BPM Festival, set along the quintessentially white sand beaches of the Mayan Riviera, located on the Caribbean Coast of Mexico; this is SXSW and WMC wrapped into one select week and three days of high end, dance music. When it comes to house music, BPM has, having now grown into its 5th year and counting, more or less cemented itself as a staple music event – 2011 saw over 25,000 attendees and over 120 deejays and live acts, performing day and night… Expect this year to be nothing less, and nothing less than a blowout. The 2011-2012 lineup includes some of my personal favorites of this last year and a slew of seminal, influential label showcases that will be presenting a foray of house, techno, and everything else in between. You can buy individual event tickets or buy a single wristband for 3, 7 or 10 days… For tickets and more see here.

In lieu of any post apocalyptic, 2012 rumors, the festivities will invariably be running from December 30th-January 8th… That’s 10 days of seamlessly, continuous music, and that’s a lot to decipher. With three to six parties a day, plan to take a lot of vitamin C with you; moreover, give or take a few coin tosses, as any discerning festival goer knows, you need to make some choices (because you can’t go to everything, it’s just too much).

I’ve outlined at least a party for each day. I’m recommending some more than others with a “do not miss” note.

 

 

**Friday, December 30th: Air London presents A Night in the Air: Simon Baker / Kate Simko / Nitin / Bioniq BUY TICKET

I’m a huge Simon Baker fan – Not everyone might know this man… this year will be his 3rd year turning heads at the BPM festival. This is a do not miss.

 

**Saturday, December 31st: ***NYE 2012*** Flying Circus presents Audiofly / Steve Bug / Nicolas Jaar Live / Benoit & Sergio Live  BUY TICKET

If you didn’t know what to do for NYE, now you do. This is certainly the party to go to including a rare Live set from Nicolas Jaar. Everyone please thank Audiofly for putting together this fabulous lineup. Round of Applause and Happy New Year!
