Kaskade's "Llove" -- HOT DAMN!

i've listened to kaskade's new album the requisite 10 times now, and while i'm not as blown away by him as i have been in the past, i gotta say, there are still some killer tracks to groove to.

this one called "Llove" is particularly badass.

my affinity for haunting yet airily soothing female vocals gets a rubdown, and the chanting keys in the background sure make this a close-yer-eyes-throw-yer-head-back type of jam.

when i hear the song, i'm transported back about 8 years, clubbin' my nuts off in hollyweird with beautiful women all around.

good times. good times indeed.

Kaskade -- "start again"

kaskade is one of my favorite DJs, and with the excitement of a new album coming out in november, i thought it appropriate to share one of the songs that gets me up when i'm down.

it's about new beginnings. it's about opening one's eyes. it's about hope and it's about just letting go and feeling fucking good because we deserve to feel good.

we CAN feel good.

so let's do this.

Warm, honest, tender, nurturing

before ever laying eyes on samantha james, i'd already long been in love with her -- or, her voice, at least.

and maybe that's all that matters.

her voice -- warm, honest, tender, nurturing -- is all i really want in a woman. a little rough, a little rasp, every now and then, is okay too.

lately, i've been letting music affect me more than usual. guess i'm vulnerable. and the music, it acts as a sort of medicine.

in this case, it's helping, 'cuz i totally dig what samantha is sayin' here about having fallen miles from yesterday, breaking waves of change.

when you're on the fucking bottom, there's nowhere else to go but up.

so here's to gettin' the fuck up!!!
