Signal Path-Slow Your Thoughts

August 5, 2010

Signal Path is a two man live Electronica act from Missoula, Montana. Ryan Burnett works the production aspect and plays guitar and Damon Metzner is on drums. Both musicians perform on stage with computers running Ableton Live alongside with their live instruments. Their music mixes elements from many genres including jazz, dubstep, rock, and even classical. These guys are talented musicians who know how to work a rhythm and how to take the listener on a journey through worlds that fairy tales are made of.

Signal Path has released six full length albums to date, the last of which was Clash, available as a free download through their website. The amazing success of Clash and its supporting tour encouraged Ryan and Damon to work on another album when they settled down in Colorado. Imaginary Lines will be released for free through their website on September 1. The duo has released a single from the album called Slow Your Thoughts. Download it here. You can also find a good amount of live sets at https://archive.org/details/SignalPath.

bil bless- the life mechanism 2

July 31, 2010

Bil Bless is a legend.

He has produced music for several labels including his own label, Bless Records, under the names Son Of The Electric Ghost (SOTEG), Skeetaz, The Disciple Grin, and Bil Bless. A Google search doesn’t turn up very much info other than his huge discography. He has even deleted his Myspace profile, but who can blame him for not wanting a Myspace profile?! One could make the assumption that he is a private guy who has chosen to let his music represent him.

Producers and DJs from all over the world live and breathe for Bil Bless music. I was convinced that a new portal to heaven must have opened up based on the elation of the masses when Bil released the life mechanism 2 a few weeks ago. Not only was the heavenly portal opened, but they were letting people in for FREE via Bandcamp!

All of the elation, the excitement, the frantic pushing and shoving on the subway so we could get home to download the album and plug it into our earholes was ABSOLUTELY rational considering what a mind-blowing album this is! I can’t and don’t want to imagine a world without life mechanism 2 in it. It is a masterpiece complete with soothing melodies, crunchy basslines, deep glitched out vocals, and beats that could prompt grandmothers around the world to leap from their wheelchairs to start dancing.

Don’t be left in the dark with no way to cope…

Go to that heavenly portal!! Download life mechanism 2 here:

Pretty Lights EP #2- Spilling Over Every Side

July 30, 2010

I am pleased to announce the arrival of my music blog, BeGlitched!! I have been posting links to songs and new music for ages now on facebook but I am interested in something dedicated specifically to music that can be browsed easily as time goes on.

My name is BeGlitched, and I am a junkie for the West Coast electronic sound. There is a music scene here that is radiantly ALIVE! You can hear its heartbeat in the thump of the bass. That is the constant- everything is built around the bass. Sometimes it beats at 140, sometimes it slows down to 80. You might hear horns, hip-hop samples, violins, or Pee-Wee Herman soundbites- it is a genuine free-for-all-anything-goes genre. You never know what you might hear, but it always SOUNDS good!

Today, I want to direct everyone’s attention to Pretty Lights. The Colorado electronic duo consisting of Derek Smith on production and Michal Menert on drums (when performing live, Adam Deitch is the drummer) have released their second in the installment of 3 EPs this year. Spilling Over Every Side delivers the goods in typical Pretty Lights fashion. The second song on the EP “Hot Like Dimes” has some hot glitchy beats and “Look Both Ways” has such a nice groove that I’m dancing in my seat as I type! The musical journey on this EP is a complete one that takes you from calm, to excited, to wild living room dancing, to euphoric and introspective! It is a journey that is not to be missed!
