hi mr. flaherty, why aren't you halifamous.

GABE FLAHERTY
obviously. 


I'MSOEXCITED
i got so giddy when i read that this song is supposed to be 
an abstraction of the essence of halifax. 
and we all know how much i love my city, and this is the perfect rainy city song. 
nice and chill but still with a good pulse. 
he doesn't normally do chill stuff like this, but this song is shaping up to be one of my favourite Gabe tracks. 

enjoy little ducks.
cheers.

WELCOME HOME.


this is halifornia. 


what a killer night: 
GABE FLAHERTY
and
VICEROY
and obviously it was beach party theme because there's no way to separate Viceroy from the summer. my beachy self snuck itself into this photo (blue skirt). sneaky sneaky.

 so nice to have such wicked talent back in the city. 
Obviously Gabe was killer, we're used to that. He finally released his EP which we're super stoked about so get it here. I'm still bobbing in my kitchen to his new trap track.



and here's some Viceroy so you can feel like you were there with me. does anyone not like Will Smith?


sweet dreams <3

things related to calvin.

i love it when i don't have to connect my thoughts in one post, and a particular artist happens to do that for me. allow me to introduce my dear friend
CALVIN HARRIS:
entertain me please, sir.
after a long and stable love affair with the Scottish dance fiend he seems to have reappeared once again at the top of my Recently Added.
 you had me at Scottish. 

first, alongside FLORENCE in this lovely new remix of her dreamy future single... 





just when you thought you'd never experience Florence sans harp/sans orchestra, another blossoming creature is converted to the electronic way of life. victory is ours.

 next, my good man GABE recently threw down a super fun housey Calvin remix. 
just a little more electro to suit your now-warmed-up palettes. 
i quite appreciate it when a remix makes it feel like the original artist was eaten by zippers. 
the man has a gift. 



to close, i intended on perusing the new SCISSOR SISTERS whirlwind of a single (produced by my good Scottish friend) but then they went and did this on the Graham Norton show and i figured we had to discuss it.


we had to top things off with a funky and damn catchy night cap now didn't we.
 what with all that gospel choir and Ana Matronic's sassy New York strut i need nothing more. this one's really gold. with your classic Scissor Sisters falcetto and disco feel, get set for a big great new pop album WHICH DROPS TOMORROW! 


oh happy day.
sweet soundly my dears.

shameless plugging of the boy who lives in my basement.

of course.
within hours of starting this blog and 2 hours of his latest release
i'm already plugging Gabe Flaherty.



we've all been through the dubstep Adele remixes. although I love me some soft female voices thrown up against nasty ass bass that'll leave your speakers weeping, it's kinda been done.
 and kinda been beat over the head with a crowbar


But this. kid.
makes the illest mixes.
he'll throw you a classic house beat with just enough dubstep to ground it in the soles of your feet, then shake it up with essentially everything you'll want in a remix.  
There's variety, there's balance, it's just ill. 




Also every so often a little nostalgic chiptune pops in.
just to remind you of your Anamanaguchi days of the tenth grade... but without being overwhelming. 
cause let's be honest those were dark times.


 


i can't get over his remix of Toes. 
Of course the new LIGHTS release, Siberia has been the soundtrack to my autumn and i'm bound to like just about anything coming out of that cheeky little canadian.


this chick absolute dynamite, and he treats her well... the remix highlights her.
it's true to her style of intergalactic melody but pushes it to the max--while still complimenting her simple but powerful vocal melodies.


this kid's great.
he's in the LIGHTS remix contest and he's gonna OWN so please vote for the kid. 

please?
