Music Highlight: what's left of it

So, its the holidays and the racing season is over, so I shall talk about my second love, music. Because I'm still in an electro-house phase I might as well dish out the rest of my favorite artists from that genre.


Swedish House Mafia


The Swedes are cool, they gave us Ikea, Saab, Koenigsegg and Stig Blomqvist, so why haven't I heard of their music? I dunno but anyways, the Swedish House Mafia [cool name I must add] have pretty much defined what I think Swedish music should sound like; cool, steady, good typography and interesting in a weird way.



MSTRKRFT


I've mentioned in my previous post that deadmau5 was my favorite Canadian musician, so here's #2 MSTRKRFT [pronounced master craft] They sound alot like Justice primarily because they both have a similar deformed bastardized set of strings that I can never identify but if you listen, you may be able to hear what I'm talking about.

Neon Knights [personal favorite]


Mark Ronson


Back when Amy Winehouse was not in rehab and she had talent I paid attention to her songs and found her cover for Valerie, it was amazing but I couldn't help noticing the producer, Mark Ronson. Eventually I forgot about him until my official music advisor reminded me of him. The advisor notified me of his new album, Record Collection. His music is all clean and happy and stuff, but listen to him for yourself.



Lycantropii


Lycantropii is a group [with no information] that specialize in mash-ups. It is the greatest collection of mash-ups that I have ever heard. You can get the entire album here. The music is a mix of mellow grooves and hard beats hit against some popular tracks.

Tiesto


The Dutch, the most interesting group of people in the world; Spyker, Rembrandt, Piet Mondrian, Gerrit Rietveld and Van Gogh are perfect examples. So now music! Tiesto is one of the greatest DJs in the world but I'm now tired so here are the videos.
