Lotus: Greet The Mind (Memphis Mix by Alex Botwin of Pnuma Trio)


This song (Greet The Mind Remix) off the "Copy Paste Repeat" Album is my new obsession and will be stuck in my head for a while. For starters, Lotus is by far one of the most amazing bands... ever. I saw their set at Camp Bisco and it was incomparable to any show I have ever attended. My state of mind was on an unknown planet that I wish I could be on all the time. A planet where you see rays of light that aren't there, where straight is angled, where you are not exactly sure of whats going on but you can feel that you are going in the right direction, where it is hard to complete thoughts/sentences or explain things clearly, where confusion is king, where sounds are more colorful and beautiful than they are on Earth, where you feel connected to those free spirits lingering around you and a place where so many more things blow your mind and you can't explain how or why. While we were on this planet of confusion, we randomly rolled up on Lotus's set at the Grooveshark tent as soon as they started playing "Greet the Mind" and witnessed the most epic Lotus set that there possibly ever was. Twas so epic/emotional that I was forced to tears by the beautiful sounds, lights, and faces that made those 2 or so hours some of the best moments of my life. I'm not sure why I even started writing this, but I just wanted to share that Lotus was ridiculously great. 
The next day we got down to some Lotus remixes at the campsite and this was by far my favorite one. I wish I had more songs like this. Listen, buy, and enjoy this very sexy and smooth hip hoppy remix by Alex B. of Pnuma Trio. Definitely Worth the dollar!

STS9: Peaceblaster (The New Orleans Make it Right Remixes)


One word followed by seven more to describe this album: WOW/This is my favorite album right now.
I was transferring some of my old music from my old laptop to my new(er) one and was in a state of disbelief after coming across what I came across. It almost hurts to think that I had such great music in my music library that I never even knew about.
After finally listening to and seeing STS9 KILL IT at Summer Camp, I realize how awesome they are and due to this have been really into them lately. STS9=awesome. Simple and plain. And these remixes....these extremely chill, funky, spiritual, and in a nutshell amazing remixes just proved it way more. Trippy scientific bass experimentation, enchanting sounds, mutations, and plenty of other words describe what this album makes me think of, but why should I waste my time writing down random words when you could buy the album and listen to these jamtastic funkadelic remixes yourself!? Naw mean? 
You can't possibly turn down remixes by Big Giganitc, The Glitch Mob, Alex B, Daedelus, Pretty Lights, Nosaj Thing, Bass Science, Captain Crunk, Eliot Lipp, Eskmo, and other prime artists who get down with the boogie down. Still looking for a song I don't like, but I'm convinced I wont find one.
Here's just a couple of my favorites...not all of them. Just a couple.
