Upper Levels of Electro: Uppermost

Uppermost is a French Electro Artist producing electro, house and dubstep out of Paris. He is most famous for his tracks "Cake Shop is Dope" and "Equivocal." Uppermost is one of my favorite DJ's producing progressive tracks across nearly all sub genres of electro, Uppermost is continually pushing the limits of the still budding genre; most notably on his experimental tracks he released for free. These previewed tracks are some of his more experimental music, and provide unique experiences.

Uppermost-Photoelectric


This is a truly instigatingly beautiful track. Engaging the mind building energy with every 8th note.

Uppermost-Heart Rate



Heart Rate has one of the most beautifully building melodies in the short history of the electronic genre building to some bassier tones creating a truly unique experiences.

Uppermost-Mental Process



Mental Process contains some really heavy tones which dissolve into some truly incredible melodies reminiscent of that of Strobe, only more captivating.

Uppermost is a hidden gem within the Electronic scene and has not had the respnse his music deserve. Listen and Download more at http://soundcloud.com/uppermost

Sorry Mitch, It's A Manifesto

It’s hardly ever that I post anything that even resembles a mash-up, I usually find the genre trite and lacking in creativity. This being said every once in a while an artist can transcend their genre and produce something truly spectacular, although I wish Mitch had left Kelis out of the mix on this one. These two mashes hail from FAMUELS and an artist simply listed as Mitch-Mash, who might just have received his break through Earmilk’s weekly #mashupmonday promotion. I cannot follow proper copyright protocol on this post but I don’t think they’ll mind, as they cannot either.

These Dudes Don't Like Skrillex

“I think you’d like me better,” if we went together. Amanda Blank…you’re all probably drawing a blank, which is too bad for her because you are probably hearing her sing right now. Listen to the two samples and tell me that Dj Vaski’s remix doesn’t elevate Blank’s song infinitely. While she may not reap the profits of Vaski’s remix it increases her fame and promotional abilities at a rate making it beneficial for her to be apart of the remix, a la La Roux. Showing how important illegal remixing and copyright infringement is to the electronic movement.

By violating copyright infringement the advancement of music has been most felt by the electronic movement. I would expect Mau5trap Records of all companies to understand this, which is why I was very surprised to hear about a string of litigations launched by the company against artists and blogs. It was not long ago that Skrillex’s “In For The Kill” Mix illegally entered the headphones of millions of Americans not only paving the way for the now Mau5trap artist, but for Dubstep in America.

"Lemonade" and No It's Not Gucci Time

If you like Crystal Castles, go download some Coco Rosie immediately, scratch that, buy all four albums. (I very rarely recommend this) These sisters have a truly inspiring cinematic life story, and their music reflects the deep undertones of their father’s Native American roots and religious practices. Described as “Freak Folk,” the music Coco Rosie has produced so far is ground-breaking; utilizing abnormal percussion instruments, such as children’s toys, their music resonates a suffering and understanding humbling to all those willing to listen. Sierra’s piano melodies coupled with Bianca’s vocal manipulations create a sobering haunting effect, which cuts to the core of the listener, well me at least, disarms all preconceptions and creates a truly inspiringly mystical experience.

Their music is not for everyone but one listen of “Werewolves” is enough to understand exactly what I speak of. I wish I could say more but my words do them no justice.
