Metaform – Electric Eyes (Studio Brussels Remix)

Metaform – Electric Eyes – Studio Brussels Remixes

Sometimes while looking for music for the radio show I find these gems. This time it was a Studio Brussels re-work of the Metaform track Electric Eyes. With over 1.1 million plays on Last FM alone, it’s safe to say Metaform’s first two releases have gone down very well.

Metaform (born Justice Aaron) is an American music producer, musician, and songwriter, who gained Insta-respect with the release of his highly acclaimed debut album “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants.” In 2010, he released a 2nd album entitled “The Electric Mist.” The track Electric Eyes is from this Release, with Studio Brussels playing around in the half time, creating a classic indie dubstep styled re-work.

Jack Dey aka Studio Brussels is a 25 year old Scottish Producer, DJ, Remixer & Musician who performs under the aliases Kool Roskii (Originals) & Studio Brussels (Remixes, DJ Sets). Based in Aberdeen, he released a selection of remixes under the Studio Brussels name in late 2009 – 2012 of artists including Yeasayer, Kavinsky, Muse, Amanda Palmer, Reel 2 Real, John Martyn, Baby’s Gang, Lady Gaga producer Space Cowboy, which garnered frequent press attention around the world and tens of thousands of downloads, and three times in the Top Ten most popular songs chart on the worlds biggest music blog aggregator The Hype Machine.

Beats to Inspire Thought

Paul Littlewood – Butterfly House EP

Paul Littlewood has a signature arrangement style, a way of doing songs. No fancy tricks, no production wizardry, just subtly changing low-key textures and a voice. Born and raised in South Yorkshire in the North of England he has spent most of his 30 years writing and performing, developing a sound which is uniquely inspired by his changing surroundings. A huge fan of lo-fi, all of his compositions are recorded on a beloved Zoom MRS-1266, 8 track recorder, giving listeners freedom to find in them what they wish.

“This is not music that forces its meanings on the listener, but if you give it some attention, and some time, you may well find these transparently beautiful sounds become an integral part of your landscape.” Oliver Ardetti

Jimmy the Fingers – Romantic Songs

An EP of typical Jimmy the Fingers tunes with his take on romance, stalkers and life.
Born under a bad sign between a rock and a hard place, Jimmy soon hit the skids and took to loitering outside the local chip shop.

Darkhorse AKA Graham Shrimpton of Three Sixty Records heard the tape, found him covered in chips in a nearby dumpster, dusted him down, and discovered the kid actually had some talent. Taking him on and producing his debut album for release on Three Sixty Records. Graham co-produced the Grammy winning album Global Drum Project. The Bristol, San Francisco connection was made.

In his youth Jimmy busted out toons under the monikers Superdense Child and Zooface, and as a DJ has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Afrika Bambaata, Radio One’s Breezeblock show, Rahzel, Krafty Kuts, The Herbaliser, Fatboy Slim, Bonobo, and many more. He played keys in bands with Quantic, TM Juke, and Alice Russell from blossoming Brighton label Tru Thoughts. Then he found out he could sing, so he struck out on his own.
“Jimmy The Fingers writes about life as he sees it; a joyous and just plain silly occasion, marred only by the wonders of temptation and the melancholy. His musical stylings ever changing, he’s always one step ahead of the kids.” 360

It is tough writing this, usually it’s a quick process bashing out a one sheet, but not this release. James is a good friend as well as a artist on Three Sixty. James’s wife Nicole had a long protracted fight with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and had received a Bone Marrow Transplant., Ultimately beating it, only to loose her fight, after contracting from an infection from contaminated water, after work was carried out on the water system in their neighborhood, when her immune system was still re-growing. An end that should not be! A couple of days after Nicole passed, James wrote an email to Olivia Broadfield.

Hi Olivia,
Thank you so much for understanding and for sending your love and strength.
I was thinking that something written in first person like messages from a mother figure to children.. lessons of life that she would be telling them.. about love…about what they will be when they grow.. how they will find love and lose love.. succeed and fail.. laugh and cry.. and through it all will learn that is what life is about.. the extremes of emotion.. and the mark you leave on others
I dunno.. that was just stream of consciences stuff…
To me.. whatever you feel might convey some hope and guidance that could be heard by not only our 4 children.. but anyone looking to refill their soul through music.. while possibly shaking their tush on the dance-floor as well!
Hope I am making sense.. it’s ben a rough night of very little sleep.

Olivia wrote the lyrics to Guidance & Courage and gracefully agreed to sing. The song is a message from Mom to kids for the future. My Inspiration and Never Let You Go, were both inspired/written also during those days, and James stays true to his sound, not veering, yet creating beautiful electronic songs.

All income from these songs will go into the trust fund set up for the Children.

This is the first release on the new Dance division of Three Sixty Records, called Three Sixty Tunes.

Sr Mandril was born in 2000 when Germán González and Ramsés Ramírez decided to mix their musical ideas. The resulting sound has electronic undertones mixed with organic instruments creating a sonic image of colors, sounds and influences that go from acid jazz and ambient to latin.

Sr Mandril spend a lot of time on the road at various festivals and venues around South America, also performing at the Festival for International Jazz in Montreal, and the PI Jazz fest in Manila.
Latin house, and driving funk make up the main part of these remixes with the Darkhorse edit of Menu Funk and 80’s reworking. Flux’s Remix of Lover turns D&B , with massive bassline and pianos complementing the amazing vocals of Isabelle. Lastly is the epic remix of Lover by Darkhorse with rolling basslines and strings complementing Isabelle’s vocals, and the Jazz sonic production of 80’s remixed by TWisMbeats Rmx ft. Harry Greve.

ROLLING STONE LATIN AMERICA “With an excellent mix of lounge and acid jazz, Sr Mandril conquered the audience in both presentations at the 27th edition of the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Ramsés Ramírez and Germán González captivated the audience with their music…”

FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DE JAZZ DE MONTREAL (THIS IS THE SOUND OF MEXICO RIGHT NOW) Sr. Mandril have a goal: merge electro elements with thoroughly live guitar, bass, keys and percussion. The payoff: a crossbreed of acid jazz, ambient, lounge, trip hop and house with latin rhythm and flair. This is the sound of Mexico right now.
