Moombahton Nation 2012 - track list, details

2012-01-19T07:21:00.000-08:00

Note: So this comes out Jan 31 on Ninthwave. The track list is not fixed yet and the set will come with 2(probably) DJ mixes of all tracks. So about 3 hours of Moombhaton madness. Indeed.

Moombahton Nation 2012 Announcing “Moombahton Nation 2012” out January 31 2012 on Ninthwave Records. Available on itunes, amazon, Beatport, Juno, eMusic etc. 14 tracks of hot underground Moombahton aka Moombahcore.

Moombahton is a cross between SOCA/Electro/Dubstep and slowed down Dutch Jump/House music. Got that? The genre was popularized by Major Lazer (Diplo) and now has been incorporated everyone from Beyonce to Skrillex (check out “Right on Time” for the feel, if not the tempo/bpm). The music is serious dance floor filler, but at a slower BPM than house or techno (it is usually at about 108-112 BPM).

1. Feral aka Kinky “Tweet Retweet (Geek Boy Remix)”

2. Andy After Dark “Our World”

3. Jimkbojangles “Jimbothon”

4. The Playground Poets “Midnight”

5. Ivytron “It’s War”

6. Sile’Saibin “Moombah Dayz”

7. Albodo “Bombatron”

8. Laera “Maravilla (original Mix)”

9. Kayjay “Cudahy Stomp (Original Mix)”

10. Danny Gallardo “A Toda Costa”

11. Matthew Barnes “Clap N Slap”

12. Dj Sharon “Let Me See Those Hands”

13. WLG “Valeriya”

14. Eursh “Steel Drums N Shit”

15. Bass Bear “Roar”

It's worth at least a listen, bass heavy, square wave heavy, chopped up electro. In short, everything I like.

Gina Lily "Deliver Me"

2011-10-12T07:26:00.000-07:00

OK, so today I do a search on iTunes to see if the new Cotton & Gin single "Traveling and Folding" is up. I put in "Folding Gin" boom, nope, not up yet (grrrr). But this album does pop up by Gina Lily (the "gin" part I guess) - looks homemmade. The copyright is Gina Lily, so I guess it is. Eh, worth a chuckle to click on a song to see how bad it is.Holy FLurkin Snit, it's not only not bad, it is actually quite good!"Monsoon" ht me first, but all the tracks are really well done, good songwriting, well produced. Ms. Lily's voice is somewhat borderline to be honest, but she makes it work really well. It reminds me of a lot fo stuff from the early 1990s like Toni Childs, Julia Fordham etc- this is not polished autotuned pop, this is real, somewhat earthy, pop music. I am lovin this record and I have no idea who this person is.Its a shame really, she's not hooking up with will.i.am (not this record anyway) or releasing a sex tape, so I guess she'll never really get noticed. Too bad. this is the kind of record A&M or Elektra would have put out. If yo uknow what I mean then you know that this is a good, well done record that will sink beneath the waves without a trace. Sigh.

Well.... Check out Mick Jagger 's pink suit, Joss Stone, Dave Stewart getting a tattoo, Damian Marley DJ’ing and A.R. Rahman in the limo.

I like the song well enough, but it kinda seems a little Reggae lite- esp compared to say recent stuff from Mark Ronson.

Still, not bad. Best stuff from any of them sepratley since about 1995 :-)

New Kyle Brylin, New Aidan Casserly

2011-06-28T07:32:00.000-07:00

Two new Ninthwave releases to tell you about this week

Kyle Brylin “Everything I’m Missing” b/w “Make It So”
Two hot new songs from Kyle, including the previously locked away “Make It So.” Kyle has been on fire lately, popping up on “Melanie LaPatin presents Ballroom Remixed” where his song “I’m a Man, Not A Piece of Meat” caught a lot of people’s attention (it’s the best selling song off the album btw). His cover of Rihanna’s “S&M” struck more than a few as being much better than even the original.
So now we have two new songs from Kyle, written and produced entirely by Mr. Brylin himself. Keep your eye on this one, lots of great stuff coming out over this long, hot, summer!

"The naming of Blue" (from a poem title by Cathal Casserly) is the 2nd solo album from Irish singer/songwriter Aidan Casserly (noted and respected lead singer from both Empire State Human and The Garland Cult).
Released in 2011 on Ninthwave Records, "The naming of Blue" is especially dedicated to Aidan's dear brother Neville who passed away in Oct 2010, after a long and brave battle with throat cancer and who is sorely missed by all his family and friends.
This is the follow up to "White Soul" (2009) and whereas "White Soul" was purely acoustic, "The naming of Blue" mixes orchestral, pop, ballad, electro, torch song, rock and ambient music elements, to create an ambitiously moving and emotional collection of personal songs, but also songs which really shines and stand out on first listen.
The album features a song called "Castles" co-written with pianist Martin Watkins, who is famous for his piano and keyboard work with the legendary Marc Almond. The album also feature's Aidan's touching tribute to the late and great lead singer of The Assoicates Billy Mackenzie, with the song "Boy Song (for Billy Mackenzie)".
Maybe this is the album Aidan was born to record afterall ..... and with over 200+ Aidan Casserly related tracks currently now on iTunes since 2002 alone (Empire State Human, The Garland Cult & Figaro), that's quite a musical journey indeed.
Here's a simple promo video to a song from the album "Steal for Love" which many feel has 'a hit single' written all over it.

Empire State Human live June 3rd!

2011-05-23T11:53:00.000-07:00

From the band:
Dear friends,

We're excited to confirm that we'll be performing live on Friday June
3rd @ The Mezz, Temple Bar
here in Dublin. We're on the bill with the very talented Tiny Magnetic
Pets and Eden are headlining.
Doors 7:30pm. €5 admission and we go on at 8:20pm. This is a fund
raiser for Crumlin's Children's Hospital
so it's well worth coming along, supporting that cause and seeing 3
pretty cool synth bands live ... and in Dublin
too!

We'll be performing songs from the upcoming new ESH album "The Art" as
well as some tracks from our debut album
"Pop Robot" and a special cover too!!!

Synth bands are pretty thin on the ground in Dublin, so it's fairly
rare to get three on the same bill ... who knows
maybe Queen Elizabeth will come along too!!!! Thanks to Danny King for
the (attached) flyer .... a true supporter
of pure synthpop and of the scene in Ireland for many years ....

Here's us performing "Camera" @ The Button Factory from July 2009 ...

Kind regards,

Aidan & Lar

Check out this very funny trailer for some new 30 film from them (I am guessing it is all about the 30th anniversary of Fight For Your Right? 30 years!!!!!!!!! Dang

2011-04-07T05:58:00.000-07:00

Who'd a thunk that the combination of "remix album" and "eric Prydz" would result in something as awesome as this?

100 albums

2011-04-06T09:51:00.000-07:00

Of course our last release was nw10117 so Amazon is about 17 behind.
No idea how THAT math works I tell you.

Pop INC, who you may recall for this great song/ vid

Is looking to do another vid and using the wbebase Kickstarter to raise some dough for it.
I think it is a pretty cool idea. Plus they give ninthwave a shout out!

There Can Be No Music Without Ideology by ninthwaver

Joseph Barbera RIP

2011-03-24T09:08:00.000-07:00

Hanna and Barbera was not all about crappy 70s Sat Morning cartoons, they made some classic MG Tom & Jerry films to.
Here's one for example -

Electroluvs " Boy Don't Bother"

2011-03-23T09:07:00.000-07:00

Strange but true. I love the Electroluvs- one of my biggest dissapointments is that Ninthwave could not make them "work" out better. I wished big things for them.

A few days ago Billy from th eband found this video- for a remix of Boy Don;t Bother. The video is "fan made" but honestly better than 99% of "professional" vids out there.
Simply too cool

George Michael "True Faith"

2011-03-22T12:29:00.000-07:00

Why do I like this? What is wrong with me? Although I have to say, in the end, it would have been cooler if:
1. George stopped the autotune at some point
2. Broke midway through into something abit more up tempo. Enough with the Easy Listening George - Just 'cause you're over 40 doesn;t mean you're dead.

"Bob" Dylan sings "Friday"

If you get this, then god help you.

Another song from the Car, this one a bit better

2011-03-21T11:38:00.001-07:00

Blue Tip by The Cars - even more retro, but when that killer sawtooth synth kicks in o nthe chorus I am taken back to 1981....

New music from The Cars - Sad Song

2011-03-21T11:36:00.000-07:00

Yes, Ric Ocasik is back in the fold. Too bad Benjamin Orr is not, RIP.
not a bad song, if it had come out in 1985.

Rewerq Madness from Cotton & Gin

2011-03-17T11:31:00.000-07:00

LMFAO - I Love the video (please, help me!!!!!)

2011-03-16T11:25:00.000-07:00

I am just plain old morally opposed to LMFAO- but you can not deny a great video and pretty decent dance tune (done to death and done better by Dave Gueterra, but hey)

Human League "Credo"

2011-02-21T07:36:00.000-08:00

No, I have not heard the whole album, but I did go to Juno and hear snippets. I couldn't get past the first 90 seconds -- I think it was the autotune that did it for me. Of all the bands whose out of tune vocals actually mattered the most, it was HL. The flat vocals MADE them unique, interesting. Now they just sound like every other piece of crap out there.
Not well done people.

label update

2011-02-16T12:35:00.000-08:00

Ok
Well, this blog was originally about me running Ninthwave records- into the ground… (thankyouverymuch! I’ll be here all week! Tip your Waitress!). But I haven’t written too much lately because things have been slow and I have not bothered.
Here goes

Kyle Brylin – single out now. Kyle was brought to me by Charlie Mason – a guy who has an INCREDIBLE ear for hot pop – just the kind I like. Charlie put together mixes and even an amazing video. We’re spending 4 figures on promotion (gulp!) because we both think this will be the start of something great. We’ll see. Most days I feel like we’re just suckers, lol. [psssst- it mights be that the song ends up on ABC TV somewheres, stay tuned.

Empire State Human/Aidan Casserly/Etc. Aidan is sending me a second solo album, released a GREAT ESH single before Christmas and now says he will get me a new ESH album (“Art”) this year. When does the guy sleep?

I have been talking to Van Go Lion about releasing an EP. I hope, I hope, I hope they get back to me, I love their stuff (check out Sugarblush below).

Leonard (aka Starfunk) just sent me a great new CD under the Starfunk name- it is the kind of album George Michael should be making. In fact if GM just recorded his vocals over this album it would be his comeback album. Instead Leonard is allowing me to release it here in the US. Happy day!

Cotton and Gin did something kinda stupid yesterday. It’ll pop up on iTunes in the next 1247 hours. Ugh, hope it works.

Hey, anybody have one of the Original Gary Flanagan CDrs? Gary says his doesn’t work anymore- I have the mp3 files but am curious.

I sent two huge boxes of Cds to Tommy at DSBP so he can send them out to college radio. I figure why not. Cd sales have all but flat-lined. Amazon sells 2-8 a month for me now. It is a vicious circle- I am reluctant to press up cds, so of course I sell less ( or none).

another exciting release - Paul Rutherford's solo album reissued

2011-02-09T07:34:00.000-08:00

Wow, I thought I would never see this. Bigtime ABC Conectoin btw

· Expanded 2CD reissue of the only solo album to date from Paul Rutherford, former Frankie Goes To Hollywood singer and icon of 80s pop
· Originally released in 1989, this is the first time the album has been available in the UK

· Includes much sought-after early remixes by the likes of Arthur Baker and David Morales

· Lead track is the acid house anthem Get Real, which - like Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax - received an airplay ban from the BBC.

· Three tracks - including a beautiful cover of Chic's I Want Your Love - are co-written and produced by Martin Fry and Mark White a/k/a ABC

· 17 bonus tracks include all the A-side mixes, B-sides, 12" remixes and promo-only tracks - many of which appear on CD for the first time

2011-01-05T07:08:00.000-08:00

Oh wow, ok, 2011, etc.

Here is a nifty slice of folk pop that reminds me (just a LITTLE) of MArina and the Diamonds, Florence and Machine etc.

I love it myself I do :-)

gotta dig those hipster glasses ( and the guy's hat). Ahhh fashion.
imho the album version is better - the drums sound better, reminds me of Funboy Three.

CD-----

one more this year, and its a dooozee - best song of the year?

2010-12-30T11:34:00.001-08:00

Adele "someone Like You"

2010-12-08T09:30:00.000-08:00

OK, so she kinda oversings it, and she'll have to change things up a bit eventually, but for now I am loving everything I hear. Plus, turns out this was co-writtne by the guy from Semisonic (Closing Time).
Enjoy this little slice of non-synthpop

PS- Why do we have to wait three whole months to buy the album? This isn't 1993, it'll be all over otrrent by Dec 22, forget Feb 22.....
