I get asked often what music am I listening to lately.  I’ve always found my taste’s to be pretty electic, so I’m going to try and share 5 songs including an oldie but goodie I’ve been listening to lately.

1.  Alex Gaudino’s “I’m In Love”

This song reminds me of Daft Punk’s “Around the World”.  A simple hook repeated for over 7 minutes, but the beat is transformative and really takes you on a journey.  Props to Garrett Scott for introducing me to this one.

2.  Linkin Park’s “The Catalyst”

I love the bridge in this song.  Linkin Park lately has been changing their sound and really growing up.  Minutes After Midnight sound wise was very different from previous efforts and I expect their new album to be even more of a drastic departure from the Linkin Park of old.

3.  Game’s “Blackout”

Game has been talking about releasing the R.E.D. album for nearly two years, but at least he’s still active on the mixtape circuit with his recent release Brake Lights.  The mixtape is awesome and Blackout has a solid chorus to even get the anti Game fans humming along.

4.  DJ Magnet “Party and Bullshit” (Miley Cyrus Notorious B.I.G Mashup)

I have no problem putting this on the list.  Say what you want about Miley, but this mashup is off the charts.  The only thing that would make it more epic is 16 bars from Ludacris (the new king of guest spots…move over Nate Dogg)

5.  Zero 7 “Destiny”

Destiny hit my iTunes on July 29th 2002 and is staple in chill out bad ass music.  If you don’t know Zero 7 pick up In The Waiting Line and enjoy.
