 It's one of those rainy muggy daze and I'm listening to the soothing sounds of Brazilian Girls. They are known for their eclectic blend of electronic dance music with diverse musical styles of tango, lounge, reggae, and house. They are actually not from Brazil, the band originated in New York City. They are the perfect band to lounge around, paint your nails, get ready, and basically have your girl time to~


I heard them in  an expensive department stores, its the kind of music I day dream to. It has the sex appeal and the relaxation vibes. Their music gets more vulgar and hilarious too


"PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY, marijuana... PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY"
Well I shouldn't day dream any longer, got to get back to studying for my Midterms..

Here is a picture of the band

 This dress, is super fabulous! Inspiring for a Halloween costume.

Flying Lotus

FlyLo short for Flying Lotus is one of my favorite experimental music producers. His genre of music changes from album to album but I would label him as ambient trip hop. His six tracks RESET EP are his core tracks, I have listened to this EP repeatedly through. In this EP, the third track Massage Situation is used as background music for the "Baggage Room" bump during Adult Swim. A lot of Flying Lotus songs have been used as background music during Adult Swim's interlude. One of my favorites that I no longer see on the air, is this cool animation video that is one of Adult Swim's bumps.


Very trippy~

What I would call a Flying Lotus classic track would be Do the Astral Plane. There are numerous remixed of this track I've heard from DJ's, it has a killer beat.


Flying Lotus concerts are one of the best shows I've been to. He has a lot of charm and his beats are very danceable. When I went to Electric Zoo in 2010, FlyLo stuck out the most to me because of his originality and smoothness.

Trap Music

For me, Trap music is the new dubstep.  The genre is not new but it has been making a new school comeback. It's a combination of pitched and re-sampled hiphop/rap vocals, gansta synth leads, 808 Roland drum machine, and pipe flutes. Over the past several months, trap music has been gaining popularity amongst some of the biggest DJs like Diplo, Rustie, and Dillon Francis making a strong impact on the electonic dance music world. My favorite trap artist is Flosstradamus, who I saw live over the summer at a free show in NYC

Flosstradamus - Rollup (Baauer Remix)




Baauer - Harlem Shake

It's that ticking sound that drops over and over again to a combination of heavy hip hop beats, vocals, and drum sounds that makes it sound really hyped!

Flosstradamus is banned from playing in his hometown Chicago for starting a "Riot" in the crowd. He reacted by releasing a 30 minute mix titled Banned.
