Thanks to the one and only Asian Dan intern, Sam for showing me that Body Language is offering up their latest EP, “Social Studies” via Bandcamp.com – a 4 track EP that is satisfying all my Synth Pop urges at the moment. The opening track “You Can” is a favorite of mine, a very RnB synth driven song with a lovely lofty male/female duet that floats over an array of synths. The title track “Social Studies” reminds of Flaming Lips circa Yoshimi but with female vocals instead of Mr. Wayne Coyne. Download the EP for free from now.

Before MK, vocal samples were very straight forward. They were used as hooks, a few words looping. MK opened new doors for vocal use, and I explored the different ways you could use vocals in tracks. The track “The Praise” on my Nervous ep The Sample Choir was highly inspired by MK’s sound. Even my secondary sound known as the Sunshine Brothers was actually born out of emulating MK’s remix of Bet Midler’s “To Deserve You” My music exists because of his influence. Do yourself the favor if you haven’t already, look at his full discog and get all of his work.

I return from the real world to the blogosphere with this gem from the one and only Todd Edwards. It was al ovely surprise to see Todd this past Friday in the crowd at Jamaica’s show at Webster Hall in NYC especially with such kind words, it was definitely a reverse bizarro world blogosphere/IRL experience. Todd strikes back with an amazing remix of my favorite Spank Rock songs, “What It Look Like”, a tune that is included in the massive Ninja Tune XX Box set. He mixes it up by throwing in a different drum pattern, rather than his signature 2-step garage pattern which really gives an great vibe to the track.
