ALL OF THE LIGHTS

LIGHTS

alright if you don't know this woman already... chances are you're just not Canadian.

but i saw her this weekend and of course she blew my mind... her outstanding sophomore album Siberia has been the soundtrack to the last 5 months of my life. 

here's her unreal single Toes (remixed here by a dear friend of mine)

of course her lighting was supersonic awesome.... what else can one expect.

my favourite photos are always the ones that capture quiet moments at a loud show. 
this one's SO similar to my favourite photo from a girl talk show this fall.

yeeeah.... that's without zoom. how is she so beautiful.
she lives up to it all: 
the soft, flawless vocals of Flux and Flow with that vicious distortion.
that mysterious, ethereal thing in Where The Fence Is Low with its subtly unforgiving bass.


great night. what a woman. 

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.
