Toro y Moi

Fall is starting, so it’s about time to break out my Vampire Weekend collection but I’ll leave one last sound from Summer.

Commercial Mix (August 2011)

Ezra — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 21:05:27 +0000

I’ve been down in DC for a few months now and doing bookings around the city. This is a promo mix I made for the frat-star/bottle service clubs, hope you find a use for it. And a little pro-tip for all the DJs out there: don’t play the Chris Brown verse on “Look At Me Now.” 1) He hits women. 2) It’s not particularly good, especially given how it stacks up to Busta’s. Now THAT is a verse.

The Perfect Pair

Fittingly, both of these videos are totally weird.

Snag it here

Sounds of July

Ezra — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 02:18:55 +0000

These are two of my favorite songs this month. Hat-tip goes to my brother (also an E) for the Noisettes recommendation, and do I even need to explain why SBTRKT is so perfect? The vocalist he snagged for this track is perfect – the way he pulls his punches on the “coldest stare”/”dont’ even know” lines are magical.

July 4th

Ezra — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 17:23:02 +0000

One of the best songs in the world, and perfect for July 4th. Hope Independence Day treats you well, and skip to about 2 minutes in if you’re an impatient listener. I’m warning you, though – its worth all 8 minutes.

Listen to This: Brenmar – Gold Bricks

Ezra — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 22:04:48 +0000

This mixtape is crazy. Give it a listen: club music meets 90′s RnB and hip-hop. Riddims pieced together from Timbaland tracks, chopped up rap vocals, and more. I’m about 15 minutes in and it’s already one of my favorite tapes of the year. Grab it here.

Graduated and Moved and Mixtape

Ezra — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 21:01:50 +0000

So I graduated from University of Rochester a couple of weeks ago and hauled myself down to Washington, DC. I’m here for the forseeable future doing public sector/non-profit work. Pictures to follow throughout the summer.

In the meantime, I made a mixtape for some of the clubs down here. This one is all disco, including a re-edit I did of a certain 90′s UK girl group. It’s summery and fresh and you should download it. It was recorded all in one take using Serato/1200s. There are only two edits to this mix – one to fix a control-vinyl issue and another to adjust a drop around the 25min mark.

Finals Are Killing Me

Also, I’m too lazy to update a blog. Twitter is just so much easier. But none of this is important. What’s important is what has transpired in the world since I last posted. Most notably, a new Katy B album, an incredible mixtape by Big KRIT, and an awesome music video from Florrie.

You’re welcome. Sorry I’m lazy. Also, hard to believe that I’m graduating in two weeks. It’s been an incredible four years in Rochester, and I will miss this place dearly but I also know how good it will feel to take the next step. Big shoutout to RIPROC for all the love and advice these past few years.

Future RnB – The Weeknd

This is what good music (or, I assume, morphine) sounds like. “What You Need” is my personal favorite, if only because of the gorgeous Aaliyah sample/shoutout.
