Matiz is back with a strong remix of Daft Punk's classic "Technologic." It's got a cool industrial, dirty electro sound, but also a pretty melodic piano build-up before falling down in the dirt again. It's definitely a fun little take on the anthem, so pick it up now as a free download.
It's my firm belief that it's quite rare to find another human being that vibrates at either the same frequency as you or at a relative complimentary frequency. Say you're ringing out at C and you come across someone that's at about a G. When you put those together you form a C power chord. One of the most basic and most widely used forms of chordal music that everyone who listens to punk rock and classic rock can relate to. So during a show not too long ago I met a G note. He was a cool dude who was rocking a marvel comics t-shirt and on top of that I was digging the music he was performing. We chit chatted and I was surprised to find out we shared similar tastes in comics, anime, and music. Time traveling to more current dates I find out that I'll be performing at his CD release show. With all these situation unraveling I couldn't help but use this opportunity to do an origin story with this specific artistically inclined character.

As The Glitch Mob run down last minute preparations to embark on their upcoming Summer 2011 Tour with Phantogram + Com Truise + RJD2 we take a moment to enjoy their re-imagining, remixing, and retelling of Daft Punk's track Derezzed. I wonder what new sites and sounds their revamped live stage performance entails. Suppose we'll have to see it first hand this weekend...
Before I start I'm going to state two things 1) I use the term "Album Review" very lightly. (I don't know how else to categorize the following) 2) SPOILER ALERT (Not really). Now with that out of the way I can proceed to let the dam wide open and have the random observations flow.
I haven't read much of the reviews out there in the digital realm but I have heard quite a few comments from local humans walking around chatting about this release. Many were expecting a continuation or return of Alive 2007. Being that they have been lying low for a few years you would expect that. But one must remind themselves that what they created for the movie Tron: Legacy is a soundtrack.
In addition to it being a soundtrack you might even stop to think about what music is. Eccentric made this point right after we watched the movie. Music doesn't necessarily have to have an AABA structure. There are other ways one can express themselves musically to get their point across.
By combining those two points I've come to realize that what Daft Punk intended to create wasn't their next album of french house classics but rather the jelly to the peanut butter of the Tron movie itself. And everyone knows you can't have peanut butter without the jelly...
