New Music: Glasnost “Corridor”

Last year I encouraged you to check out Glasnost. They did a remix of La Roux‘s “Bulletproof” that was pretty sick. Seemingly, most people have gotten to know the group for their recently released remixes. Yet, aside from producing killer dance floor remixes, Glasnost is also a live, four piece, electro pop band and DJ crew. Now they’ve released their newest original track, “Corridor.”

Their influences include Cut Copy, New Order, MSTRKRFT and Midnight Juggernauts. Glasnost remixes have been exciting blogs and dance floors worldwide. While releasing other “Glastnostized” renditions of tracks like Tiga’s “What you Need” and most recently Metric’s “Hands,” the band’s been busy producing their next collection of original tracks for their forthcoming album, Decade, due to release in late April. (AND right now they are at SXSW!)

Starting TODAY fans have the opportunity to pre-order an autographed copy of Planet Anthem (Out March 16th via their own Diamond Riggs/ILG) and pick from over 32 different combination options. These (most awesome) options include but are not limited to:

For a full list and pre-ordering, check out http://planetanthem.com/

Have a listen to the first single from the album, “On Time” by clicking here.

And have another listen to the Juan MacLean  remix of “You and I” by clicking here!

From press release:

Planet Anthem marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band. Since they formed in 1995, the guys created their own movement by fusing the jam band and electronic music scenes. However, their forthcoming release prominently features elements of pop, indie dance, hip hop, and straight up rock music. This is not the band you think they are. This is a band that makes damn good pop songs that, if you gave them a chance, would resonate with you. Don’t be scared, give it a whirl.

The Biscuits collaborated for the first time with multiple producers, songwriters, and outside musicians, including Don Cheegro and Dirty Harry (Ludacris, Chris Brown, Beanie Sigel). The result is an album filled with sing along melodies and infectious beats. Another first, the new video for “You and I” has been added to rotation at both MTV2 and MTVu and the band is going to be hosting Subterranean as well.

After plowing through 5 sold-out dates at Nokia Theatre in NYC over New Years and four sold-out shows at Boulder, CO’s Fox Theatre in January, The Biscuits will hit the road again starting tonight in Baltimore. The band will be performing at Ultra Music Festival in Miami alongside Tiesto, Deadmau5, Carl Cox, Passion Pit, Major Lazer and more. They’ll also be playing Bonnaroo 2010 this June in Manchester, TN. They also just announced details for the annual music festival they put together, Camp Bisco, which is now in in 9th year.  Past performers have included Snoop Dogg, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, The Roots, MSTRKRFT, Nas and Damien Marley, Girl Talk, and Kid Cudi.  This year, the event will take place July 15 – 17 in Mariaville, New York. Lastly, the Biscuits will be hosting their even Bisco Inferno at Red Rocks on May 29th. This year’s lineup will feature Aeroplane, Pnuma Trio, The Crystal Method (DJ Set), Booka Shade, The Glitch Mob and of course 2 sets of the Biscuits.

Bounce with MSTRKRFT

41oe2y3vmkl__sl500_aa240_

MSTRKRFT can definitely kick out the remixes, but many wondered if they have the goods to produce their own sounds. Well folks, they do have the goods. This week MSTRKRFT released their album Fist of God. Yes, they do sound a lot like Daft Punk, but they love Daft Punk…so I think of it as a form of flattery. Besides, MSTRKRFT chooses to add in much more vocals than Daft Punk.

I got the album the day it came out. I’d heard their single “Bounce” featuring N.O.R.E. many months ago and loved it! The rest of the album isn’t disappointing, either. The first track “It Ain’t Love” features Lil’ Mo. This track is something I’d expect to hear a little more about, since it could attract some mainstreamers.

Second, is “1,000 Cigarettes”, it’s all beats, no vocals, so I could see where this one might remind most of Daft Punk. It’s fun though, and there’s what sounds like a cow bell involved. And who doesn’t love cow bells?!

Next, is popular track “Bounce”. It’s definitely a fun song, and it’s definitely a party song. ‘Nuff said.

Now, I’m just going to touch on my favorites from the album. Track 5 features John Legend. It starts out with the piano, and then the beats come in. They make a wonderful blend that’s finalized when John’s voice enters. It’s called “Heartbreaker” and it’s divine.

“You’re in my mind/You’re in my heart/I wish I knew/right from the start/All my friends say/you break my heart/a heartbreaker/right from the start”

My other favorite is track 10, “Breakaway”. Actually, it might be my No. 1 fave on Fist of God. It’s a great song to dance around to. The whole 11 tracks on the album make up only around 38 minutes, but it’s a pretty fun-filled 38 minutes. Go ahead and preview it on Amazon if you’re not sure.
