Insomniac Dance Party Radio Show

If you've been here awhile you might remember that I had a radio show last year. If you've been here for even longer, you might remember that my focus in music has slowly transitioned towards the more electronic variety.

So, given those two ideas, it made sense to have an electronic radio show. Which brings us to the 2009-2010 premiere of the Insomniac Dance Party on 90.9 FM, WCDB in Albany, New York. It is tonight, late nite son, from midnight until 2 AM. If you don't happen to live in the greater New York State Capital District, it is also available for streaming from wcdbfm.com.

Listen in, give me a holler, let me know what you think. See you tonight!

Halp!

Sup guys, enjoying my last days out here in the Hamptons before heading home, packing up my life, and returning to Albany for another year of scholarly pursuits.

Before all of that though, quick question. There's a song in the middle of several Boys Noize sets that I know I've heard before but can't for the life of me remember the name. I uploaded a sample of it, kudos to anybody who can help me out!

Thanks, and have an awesome weekend.

The Juan Maclean - The Future Will Come

2009
DFA Records
Buy

6/10

Were The Future Will Come simply a collection of its strongest singles, The Juan Maclean would have achieved world renown. When much of the dance community has departed for the shores of trance, electrohouse, and for those adventurous (trendy) enough, dubstep, he's released what seems to be a long-play throwback to the days of unadulterated house which is at its best infectious and commanding. But for all of its cheery pomp, The Future Will Come is plagued by an inconsistency and lack of focus that undermines much of its success...(Read more at the Silent Ballet)

Brand New - At the Bottom

At the Bottom - Brand New

***

So...what just dropped this morning?

Oh. Right. New single. From a pretty cool band called Brand New - you might have heard of them? It's a very different sound, and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. Time will tell, I suppose. Still, it's pretty exciting, almost like my junior year of high school all over again.

This is "At the Bottom", off the upcoming album Daisy, which comes out September 22, 2009.

I'm travelling, very limited access to the internets.

So here's a Boys Noize video. L'chaim.
