Mayor Bloomberg really is taking a new approach to promoting “his city.” It looks like the coolest after school special you’ve never seen. Check the new music video for Duck Sauce’s Barbara Streisand. Its no wonder this video took so long to come out given the amount of bad ass cameos that show up including one by Taylor Swift’s fan-number-one, Kanye West. Video after the jump. Continue reading

wow

This is an awesome video of a Canon 7D doing 1000fps (frames per second) aka SUPER slow motion. Music ain’t too bad either. Continue reading

This came out a while ago. But I was just playing it for my friend who had never heard it and found the Chiddy Bang remix. So great. Take a listen:

Why Americans Refer to All Dance Music As “Techno”

Let me start out by saying, I absolutely positively irrevocably hate the term “techno” that all friends back home use to refer to everything we civilized people here listen to. Electro is not techno. House is not techno. Dubstep is not techno. Drum n’ Bass is not techno. Yes, its all dancey, but Techno for everything that its given us, frankly, sucks.

For all of its fallacies, it will also always win. Every genre, eventually, becomes techno – and we like it anyway!
Dubtrance is becoming huge. Just look at Magnetic Man and Katy B. We’ll here’s the third nail in the electrostep coffin:

Enjoy your eulogy, dubstep, for you do not have long.

PS this song is absolutely and completely sick.



Welcome Home


This is extremely different from what we normally post for music. We got such a positive response from James Blake, this kind of melodic madness might start making more appearances on SaintAndre.ws. Continue reading



Magnetic Man

skreeeeaaaammmm

Let me tell you about three young men named Skream, Benga and Artwork. They went on a magical adventure together. When they returned from this adventure, they were Magnetic Man – and so much more than the sum of its parts, Magnetic Man has so far released one track and had one top 10 single. Their fourth coming album is gonna blow minds and eardrums and if you’re anyone who’s anyone, you’ll be at their October 30th show in Sub Club, Glasgow. There has been quite a bit of hype thus far about Magnetic Man live shows. From everything I’ve been hearing, they sound like the Daft Punk of dubstep and drum n bass – using three computers to build original live renditions of their studio tracks. Skream and Benga have said they will mix in parts of their solo tracks as well. Dubstep mashup anyone?

Check out their most recent rinse.fm radio show from August 4th:

Lazers Never Die – Rave Review

maja laza
This EP is what MIA’s horrible new album should have sounded like. The opening track, Sound of Siren sounds like an anthem for our scandalous, thieving, decision-regretting generation. The EP keeps going with tracks like Good Enuff (Cash Flow Dub) and Bruk Out (Buraka Som Sistema Remix) that could keep the party chilled for hours – in the best of ways.

James Blake – Measurements

It is extremely unusual for the music staff at SaintAndre.ws (basically me and Sam) to write about anything not dance related. It is even more unusual for us to write about something that sounds like it could end a season of Continue reading
