6 Tracks You Must Download Now

Strobe (Redial Remix) – deadmau5

This remix, or rather remake, is awesome. I love the mellowness and smoothness at the beginning, which becomes the awesome, down and dirty House music we all love.

Paradise Circus (Zed’s Dead Remix) – Massive Attack

Massive Attack might not be what you’d expect me to listen to necessarily. But, Zed’s Dead’s remix makes it one of my all time favorites. The vocals coupled with the really unique loops guarantee you an instant trip full of emotions, whether you’re actually high or not. Listen to it, you’ll know what I mean.

Reconcile – Fornax

When I’m writing, this song is perfect. It is a fairly simple and soft song, with what could be described as very soft and mild dubsteppy elements. It’s calm and slow though, and sets just the right pace for things when you want a soundtrack to whatever mundane task you’re doing.

Isis – Seven Lions

This track starts off with an evil-ish Oriental beat, but quickly transforms into a decent Dubstep track. The real treasure though is towards the end, when a beautiful melody becomes the backbone of bass drops and hard loops, sort of like, melodic dubstep with a tinge of emotion?

HYFR (AC Slater Remix) – Drake

I always confuse lil Wayne with Drake, but now I am very familiar with Drake thanks to this pretty decent remix of Hell Yeah Fuckin Right.

The Hour of the Wolf (Stark Sound Remix) – Zoobi

This song is dark, messed up and plain scary. With lyrics like “at the hour at which people die most” and “demons and ghosts are their most powerful” coupled with the deep and dark loops and bass lines, makes this ideal for when you’re stuck in traffic and hate the universe, or if you wanna freak out an English-speaking hitchhiker or maybe even a bad date? =P

Very Illogical Bridge Ahead

Look what I spotted on my way into Beirut today…

Impressive trolling there :D

UPDATE:

I posted the above from my phone, and by the time I figured out how to, the photo was already circulating on Facebook =P It looks like a person or group calling themselves “King Nedward the Ninth” have claimed responsibility for the above and other similar acts of awesome vandalism. It does not look like a politically motivated group, with its focus being on our actual worries, like the traffic jam this stupid bridge causes for example (or at least Lebanon’s stupid drivers).

Here’s part of King Nedward’s “manifesto”

My name is King Nedward the ninth, formerly supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Something Completely Different.

I was found unfit to rule because I did not believe in politics nor religion and wanted my reign to be based on nothing but love, laughter and music. 

My brother, King Edward the thirteenth (our parents obviously lacked imagination) overthrew me and decided that I should be exiled to a country where people were obsessed by the two things I hate the most, so that maybe, with time, their passion for politics and religion would rub off on me, and that (and I quote) “I would be saved and could return to where I once belonged”

It was decided I would be sent to Lebanon.

The rest of the declaration I agree with 100%. It’s as if I wrote it! (Or did I?), but seriously now, I would be much harsher on our religious zealots, King Nedward was fairly diplomatic. But, as far as my humble opinion goes, I wouldn’t mind pledging allegiance to this new King and his motto “Love. Laughter. Music.”

Follow King Ned here on his Facebook Page and good luck to us all!
