I would play all this songs on a field full of alpacas

Suddenly very relevant song for my life (also catchy as hell) (also, watch out for the scary bit!):

John Maus - Too Much Money

Also, 20JazzFunkGreats has been REALLY good recently, most especially the two tracks in this post and the Aeroplane remix of Coyote in this post. GET EM.

Ewan Pearson This Friday Dec 7 @ Celebrities

Party alert! Ewan Pearson is DJ'ing this Friday at Celebreties. We should go ya? Not the least because I has a new job, and thus need some celebrating.

Ewan's broadly electro-house, though his sets seem fairly eclectic, with a wide range of house, techno and more pop-ish tunes. He probably won't be head-bashing commercial electro-house nor wimpy plink-plonk minimal--I'm expecting something in between there, though I'm not sure what exactly. I have his Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi. _01 mix from two years back, and it's fairly straight ahead (though excellent) electro-infused tech-house, while his recently released Fabric 35 mix, which I haven't heard, seems to have a much more varied tracklist (it even has some old post-punk on there). Whatever the fuck this all means, by all accounts he's great dj and knows how to rock the party and is not afraid to venture into more vocal poppy territory and mix things up. Hopefully the system at celebreties is up for it (I thought it was kinda flat for mathew jonson, or at least the parts I was sober enough to remember...), but I'm sure it'll be great regardless.

Alright come party! Go here for tickets, youtube clips, bio. (btw, is it wrong that i would actually go to the next THREE friday nights a celebrities? Tiefschwarz, Sharam, MSTRKRFT would all also be dope, though Pearson's definitely my pick of the litter).

Here are two pearson remixes (both from this comp), one loud and upfront, the other more moody:

Freeform Five - Perspex Sex (Ewan Pearson's Hi-NRG Mix)

Ladytron - Evil (Ewan Pearson Radio Edit)



Completely unrelated bonus for those who scrolled down! Rihanna - Don't Stop the Music (The Wideboys Radio Edit)
