The big big Bleep list

Every year one of my favorite source of music, Bleep, makes a list of 100 best songs of that year. I took the time, which took actually quite loong..to browse the list trough and picked my favorite ones, some I knew, but most of them were totally new for me. Found couple very interesting artists, couple dope ones..it's a mix of calm music, techno, world music, muslim trance, crazy ones so it's all mixed. The songs are not in any particular order for me. Some songs weren't actually on the list but were from the same artist who was on the list (if I thought that the other song was cooler).



My Bleeping list for 2014:

Andy Stott - "Damage" but I chose out of the list "Faith in strangers" (from the same named album) and also "On oath".

Hadn't heard anything before from this artist and he really surprised me positively. Very good stuff!
Beautiful electronic music, calm but powerful and sometimes bit grimm.

Caribou - "Can't do without you" is a groovy dance song and well the lyrics will stick into your head. Haven't listened that much Caribou though I have heard lot about them.

Fatima al Qadiri - "Shanghai freeway" on the list but I choose "Muslim Trance mini-mix". It is a mix of Islamic sacred Shi’ite and Sunni acapella found from the internet. I think this was one of the most interesting artists from the list. If SoundCloud info is correct then this artist comes from Kuwait. I wonder how many muslim woman dj's there are. Would be cool to hear more!

Sophie - "Lemonade" This song is just totally nuts. Nuts! I won't say how the beginning of the song sounds to me, but well listen yourself! You get this song if you mix really bad pop song lyrics with crazy nice base. I love the mix of this crazyness!


"I got something to tell you
hope you'll understand
I never meant to hurt you
it wasn't in my plans
just know when I'm with you
everythings okay
I get that thirsty feeling
and I want lemonade
lemonade, l-l-lemonade (lemonade, l-l-lemonade)
candy boys, c-c-candy boys (lemonade, l-l-lemonade)"

Toumani Diabate & Sidiki Diabate - "Rachid Ouiguini" But I took "Salimou" which was in the SoundCloud. Some really cool african music! I highly recommed this duo, it's a father and a son.

Never ending search

I look for music. I search for songs. I lurk behind the computer to find the tunes. I feel like a detective trying to solve out the murder, on the dance floor... I want to share immediately some of the places where I find songs, lots of lots of songs. (X-files remark) so you people can find easier some music that you might like or hate. Good idea is always to browse trough some interesting record labels like for example:


Ninja Tune                    (Home of Amon Tobin, Bonobo, Daedelus, Mr. Scruff)
Planet Mu                     (ยต-Ziq, Venetian Snares)
Warp                             (Aphex Twin, Autechre, Bibio, Boards of Canada,
                                     Brian Eno, Nightmares on Wax, Plaid)
Toytronic                      (Gimmik, Digitonal, Abfahrt Hinwil, Ochre)
U Cover Records         (Lackluster ,he's from my hometown, Tim Koch, Joel Tammik, Ontayso)
Type Records              (Helios, Deaf Center, Johan Johansson)


Last trio is sort of my "dream team"! And there must be more that I'm forgetting.
Then there are sites where you can buy or search music.


http://bleep.com
Is very handy one. It's good to subscribe into different newsletters so you might come up every month some new tunes!


http://soundcloud.com
Is a great place to search lot of different kind of music. Just dive and search. Could spend hours here.


http://grooveshark.com
Extremely handy place to create your own music playlist.


http://www.last.fm/
Good place to search something totally new. Recommends artists to you.
And of course youtube, all libraries and music magazines and record stores.
