MENNO DE JONG 'LIVE 2016: Liquid Soul@ In Trance We Trust" 2016

I'm in one of those phases where I just listen to trance and house for days. This set makes me wish I was on 3 hits of 'X" and a mountain of K. I don't do that anymore, but the music keeps the vibes around and my current fave DJ does the trick.

MASSAGE TRIBE 'Tibetan Bowls, Bells & Flutes'

 So in trying to stay at peace and weather the horrifying results of this 2016 election, I listen to things like this to keep me grounded and at peace. Smooth Buddhist music for meditation.

ROLLING STONES 'Still Life' LIVE (1982)

Ah for nostalgia. I saw this tour, my 2nd ever concert experience in 1981. (Queen was my first in 1980)  This Rolling Stones show from what I remember was excellent. The song selection here, only 11 songs, these days doesn't come to reflecting my best of, but the gig was fun. I always liked their cover of Smokey Robinson's "Going to a Go Go" and that's the tune that made me search out this live album.

SLOAN 'A Sides Win. Singles collection 1992 through 2005

In catching up with the music that I'd been listening to this month that I'd not gotten a chance to write about, I'd missed Sloan who I'd always glossed over for some reason. What a terrific, catchy and memorable group of singles here. Very discerning band who keep their output (at least their singles) high quality. '500 Up' is my pick hit.

SISTER BLISS 'DJ Sets on Mixcloud:

Rediscovering the wonderful FAITHLESS {UK}  has led me to lend an ear to member SISTER BLISS and her DJ sets. And it lives up to the quality expected from a Faithless album. Very smooth house/electronica Euro style meets America soul with that tech edge, Excellent set and now following her on Mixcloud.

FAITHLESS '2.0: The Greatest Hits & Biggest New Remixes (2015)

Oh FUCK YES! Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss and Rollo. Trip hop, house and ambient royalty came to fame circa 1997 and are now remixed most gorgeously by some of heavy hitter huge name DJs.
'God is a DJ' by Tiesto?? Damn terrific job. Armin Van Buren doing a trance take on 'We Come 1' and a lot more newer names that I'm learning about here in this 29 track remix-a thon.Even the Drum and Bass / jungle mixes are terrific. This will be in my shuffle all winter.

RED FANG 'Only Ghosts; (2016)

A very catchy mix of metal and grunge with coarse and sometimes tuneful vocals. A lot the songs here catch a fierce groove and often just swing. Just discovered these guys today, but upon first listen they make a good impression.
