(07/25/10) Monty's Catch of the Day - Major Lazer

Major Lazer is the side project of two of the best DJ/Producers out right now - Diplo and Switch. They have both teamed up to put together this fictitious cartoon character (similar to Gorillaz) named Major Lazer, who fought as a Jamaican commando in a highly classified Zombie War in 1984. This happens to be where he lost his right arm. ML currently fights off vampires and monsters, parties hard, and has a rocket launcher as a replacement for his severed arm. A new EP of remixes just came out for Major Lazer entitled Lazers Never Die, and this where you will find today's catch. "Jump Up" is remixed by Thom Yorke who met with Diplo earlier this year to express his interest in working with the song. Now if I'm not mistaken, you can hear just a tad of "Idioteque" from one of Radiohead's earlier album. You can judge for yourself ...

(07/18/10) Monty's Catch of the Day - Aeroplane

So I happen to notice that there are quite a few bands called Aeroplane when looking for the bands official website. The only one I am familiar with is the electronic DJ duo from Belgium that we play quite often on Chillville. Today's catch is a new tune from the band called "I Crave Paris". I'm going to try and give you the skinny on today's catch without confusing you like Christopher Nolan's Inception (which was a fantastic movie btw). Aeroplane remixed my #1 Chillville song of 2009 - Friendly Fires' "Paris". They removed the original band's male vocals, and turned up the volume on the female vocals, which happened to come from another Chillville band - Au Revoir Simone. The background electronics and infectious beat made it one step better than the original. Now Aeroplane went ahead and stripped out Au Revoir Simone's vocals, kept the instrumental & beats, and ...

(07/04/10) Monty's Catch of the Day - N.E.R.D

So today's little gem comes from alternative hip-hop musicians, N.E.R.D. Pharrell and the gang are back on the scene with a new single, and are in the midst of unveiling their latest album, Nothing, on September 7. The one thing that really caught my attention about this track is actually the remixes that were released after the original. Today's catch is the Yeasayer remix of "Hot-N-Fun", which features Nelly Furtado on vocals. You can listen to a clip of today's catch in the player above.
 
Now if you just can't get enough of Pharrell, then check out the music on the newest computer animated film, Despicable Me. Not only did the frontman for N.E.R.D contribute original songs for the movie, but he also was the main force behind the score. Check it out when you get a chance. Enjoy!

(07/04/10) Monty's Catch of the Day - Uffie

I want to introduce you to this hot artists named Uffie - Uffie, meet the residents of Chillville. This 22 year old was born in Miami, grew up in Honk Kong, and now resides in France where she has made a name for herself with a music style of her own. There's not a lot of female artists who can say they have a sound made up of the electronic, pop, hip-hop, disco, and rap genres. Now you may have heard her voice on Chillville before as the vocalist for Justice's "TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY". Well, it's her turn in the spotlight with the release of her debut album entitled Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans. Today's catch is the extremely fun "ADD SUV" featuring Pharrell (from N.E.R.D.). You can listen to a clip of the track in the player above. Enjoy!

Love Vigilantes

Oh, I've just come from the land of the sun
From a war that must be won in the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades and some help from God
I want to see my family
My wife and child are waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see
 
You just can't believe the joy I did receive
When I finally got my leave and I was going home
Oh, I flew through the sky, my convictions could not lie
For my country I would die, and I will see it soon
 
When I walked through the door my wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes did soar, I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand and I saw the telegram
Said that ...
