Boemklatsch


It is as hard to remember how it is spelled as it is to pronounce. Apparently it's boem, klatsch or kick, snare. The group consists of four friends from Utrecht, Netherlands, I know one of them is an MC but the others do a mix of DJing and VJing. There isn't much other information on them that i can find in English but they really have a way of making some really good uplifting electro tracks. While they have been struggling to hit it big in the scene they have produced a bunch of their own stuff as well as remix a lot of good tracks. My favorite of these three has to be One More Day, it opens up with a really catchy riff and goes into some positive lyrics but don't be fooled, this song hits REAL hard with a very grungy synth that really gets the place jumpin'. The next track Bonafied is a remix of their song, with a little womp and wobble included, just make sure you get to the drop. The song then chills out for a bit but when it drops the second time you are gonna be glad you practiced some patience. The last track I'm posting is a remix they did of Baskerville's One Dollar Dave kinda goes all over the place but in my opinion this has a more rave-y feel to it, very upbeat but still a decent track.

We got the UT burnt orange in the mini player color because of the shooting on their campus today, our hearts at Lunch are with you all.

Nero remixes

Yoooo,

Nero is a dubstep artist from the UK, and his tracks are some of the finest dubstep I have heard.  Here is a sampling of his remixes for a variety of artists: the first too are pretty heavy, but stay easy to listen to, and the last track is more mellow.  Make sure to check out his other tracks on his myspace.

Peanut Butter and Jams!

Ok so this post is a little all over the place, two of the songs were showed to me by some qualified listeners, one is an awesome dub remix I found and there are two bonus tracks. The first track is one of the hardest hitting tracks I've heard in a while definitely something I've been playing multiple times a day and it still has yet to get old. My boy Miles from the (813) YOU KNOW, showed me this track and he deserves all the credit for it being on here. The second song came in second place for Imogen Heap's remixes over at noisecandy.blogspot.com and while I honor NC's opinion about the winner I have to say this Afrojack remix is one of the most well done remixes I've heard for some time. When the beat drops for the third time everything comes together so well.....this is a club banger without a doubt. The third track is something I found just browsing around. Its a Mimosa remix of Collie Buddz's Come Around, and even for people who don't like dubstep, this is quite a track.

Now as for the bonus....if any of the lunch listeners are from Dallas and you haven't heard about this kid you better jump on the train now cuz I have a feeling its departing soon and you don't wanna miss this ride. His name's Mury and he's been producing some really awesome shit, no joke. You can check out all his tracks at mury.bandcamp.com . Unfortunately I won't be uploading these for download but you can always listen to them here or on his site. Here are Kill the Batman and Filthbath. Props to you Mury!

Pacific!

Pacific! is an electro group from Sweden.  Their new album just dropped a few days ago, and here's a track from the album thats pretty jammin.  This song starts off a bit slow and mysterious, but really gets rolling around 1:04.  Turns into an epic futuristic sounding outer space jam.

Also take a listen to this track off their last album.  This one has a really different feel, much more poppy, almost like Beach Boys meets 80's influenced electro.  Cool electronic percussion sounds and nice vocal harmonies.  Both tracks also feature some nice guitar work near the end which is refreshing after all those electronoises.

Some more Netsky + Gentlemen Thieves

Yo, heres two of my favorite Netsky tracks.  If you haven't checked out the Netsky jam my esteemed colleague posted earlier, then give that a listen immediately.
First up is a nice remix of Black & Blue by Miike Snow.  Nice keys start this one out, the vocals stay in the forefront, and when it drops nice wobbles keep the jam flowin.

Next is another solid Netsky track, a little more mysterious sounding than the first, however you have some great bass and cool little bloops and bleeps to look forward to when it drops.
     Netsky - Lost In This World by lunchjams.blogspot.com

We end with this remix that the Gentlemen Thieves sent in a while ago... my bad for not posting it earlier.  Theres some nice work using key samples from the original song, (for example the very beginning).  Strong synths then pair with the vocals, creating some cool breaks and build ups.  Like the 80's futuristic feel, fits nice with the 'Intergalactic' theme.  Keep it up guys, looking forward to some more mixes.

....Nocturnal


This past weekend can only be examined on an epic scale, as Nocturnal took over Rockdale, TX. I don't think this town has seen 25,000 people come through their town. This middle of nowhere town was crawling with people drunk off their ass and on so many drugs, that the money spent could have covered their only subway's expenses for years. But the best part of the weekend was by far the music. It was an EDC Los Angeles lineup on almost an 1/8 of the scale. 4 stages, and two 10 hour nights of mayhem left its partakers weary and drowsy on Memorial Day. Of the acts i saw I'd have to say that my top 3 had to have been Bassnectar, Wolfgang Gartner and Laidback Luke in no particular order. Now thats not to say that acts like Joachim Gerraud, Armin, A&B, Fedde, Tritonal, Rusko etc. didn't throw down. I can honestly say that every performance i went to, blew me away. This was an awesome event and I can't wait till '11. I've attached just some of the bangers we heard, and these are sure to keep you jammin'.
