Teddybears - Zero Gravity


Teddybears come to us from Sweden. They've got a seriously demented sound. And I'm ok with that.

This should be awesome. Obviously brought to you by the kind folks at Red Bull. Who, apparently produce just about everything now.

Ghost Beach - Faded



I'm really enjoying everything that Ghost Beach has been putting out there since their inception in November. On this track though, they go in a bit of a different direction. And it works. I'm catching a lot of Glitch Mob-esque style in this one. With the chopped up synths and bass, it definitely sounds good.

Sebastian Tellier- Cochon Ville



I love it. Simple and to the point. But make no mistake, it's a very sexy song. The synth is consistent and right where it needs to be. Sebastian Tellier brings us along for a smooth little cruise. It's a bit repetitive but it works.

Red Bull Stratos - Certifiable

Are you kidding me??? Felix Baumgartner successfully jumped from 71, 580 feet in the first test jump leading up to this summer’s 120,000 foot record attempt. He has one more test flight/jump from 90,000 feet coming up.

Say what you want about red bull, but they are funding some pretty serious stuff. This is just straight up nuts. I'm way into it.

New Build - Mercury Lounge

What do you get when you form a band with former members of LCD Soundsystem and Hot Chip? You get New Build. Who made their US debut this week at Mercury Lounge with two consecutive nights of sellout shows. Lead singer Al Doyle was as happy as could be thanking the crowd endlessly for coming out in support. He actually seemed shocked that they sold out the tiny 250 person venue. Or that anyone had heard of his little band. Anyone in the crowd would have thought otherwise. Just on paper alone, it's a band that intrigues. It seems like a no brainer. I love LCD Soundsystem, and I like Hot Chip, so, yeah. I'm in. It proved to be a good move. They rocked. The 50 minute set was brief but solid. Can't wait to hear more from them. Be sure to cop their album

Wavegarden - The Future

   

Pretty cool idea. The Wave Pool was started back in 2005 when engineer Josema Odriozola and sports economist Karin Frisch decided to combine their expertise in designing and building sport facilities, particularly skate parks, with their passion for surfing.


What both entrepreneurs enjoyed most about their skate park experience was seeing the smiles on the faces of the kids who could not wait to try out the new park. They decided to turn to their true passion, surfing, in order to re-create that same feeling for people not fortunate enough to have an ocean break nearby, or where ocean waves are too crowded or of poor quality.

They were convinced that world-class waves could be generated for any level of surfers anywhere in the world, no ocean required. Their goal was to try and reproduce the real sensations and experience of surfing a wave in the ocean under ideal conditions, and the outcome was: Wavegarden.
