Clash Of The Titans 3

Continuing the Clash Of The Titans electroclash playlist series, this pick is just getting interesting. A couple of older songs mixed with newer songs that sure seem danceable. Less remixes this outing. I like the mix of Cabaret Voltaire and Talking Heads mixed with Juan Maclean and Hot Chip. I couldn't tell you anything about Fujiya & Miyagi, but I love the sound. Fischerspooner and LCD Soundsystem had hits later but here they were just blips.

Clash Of The Titans 2

Part 2 of this series I call electroclash, but it really isn't all that. Mostly good danceable new new wave and even some edgier house. Songs from bands no one except for a select few really knows or remembers, but you will dance to it. Is this EDM? Gasp! Who cares? It mixes well, people dance to it and it just sounds good. Stop judging so much. This pick is mine and I like it. Just play it and dance. Love on the edits and remixes.

Clash Of The Titans 1

I put together this series of playlists around the time of the emergence of electroclash and although it isn't all that, it sounds enough like it it to start this series. I think I was watching the Clash Of The Titans movie or seeing a computer game or something like that and so this was born. It was more just danceable stuff that mixed real well. I hope you like it. I made a few of these and the theme doesn't hold up really at all. But it didn't matter, because I liked this pick and played it a lot. Lots of remixes.

Awesome Downtime 6

This is the last of the series (at least posted here). This is a George Glass pick. He's from Groovy Library and you should check it out. He has really well done compilations on his site. I really loved this series and got permission to post it here, but now you will have to get any newer ones at his site. I hope you liked the ones I posted here. I like them, so tough luck if you don't. I get impressed with someone that makes a compilation that is so unlike anything I would have picked and yet I think it's great.

Awesome Downtime 5

Lucky for us today, we have another of the Awesome Downtime playlist series (that I wish I had compiled, but was put together by George Glass at his Groovy Library blog). The closest I have that I picked is either my Am I Bent pick or my Textures series pick And none of them are anything quite like this series. He calls it downtempo, instrumental hip hop, chill hop, trip hop, nu jazz, instrumental soul jazz, but what do I know. I just like the combo George put together. His album covers are a gas and the music is even better. I will post one more and after that you will just have to go to his site to see if he posts anymore.

I'm continuing with the guest appearance of George Glass from Groovy Library. I really liked his Awesome Downtime series so I asked if he minded if I reposted them here. Luckily he said yes. Yesterday he explained how he came up with his pick and the name. Today you get no such luck, just my ramblings of how much I enjoy listening to these playlists. Especially when I want to relax. I hope you are enjoying them too.

Awesome Downtime 3

We've already had a couple of these Awesome Downtime playlists from George Glass (from Groovy Library) and I asked him to give me a little backstory. Here's what he wrote about his pick:

"I don't recall hearing the term "Downtime" until it came time to name the first comp. I just wanted to come up with something other than known genres (downtempo, chill, ambient, etc). How it started? During the mid 90s, I was exploring a lot of drum 'n' bass music. It became apparent in no time that it wasn't all just fast beats, but the ambience as well. And from there, it lead me to downtempo, chill, etc. A few year back, I started to create playlists for the bath, mainly with the music aforementioned. I didn't want the obligatory spa music, but melodic yet relaxing tunes not usually sleep inducing. And so in hindsight, you can find beauty in just about any style/genre of music. It's the patience in finding it. And that's the (very) condensed version."
