Toro Y Moi..

Its been a while since a post. My comps gathered dust!
I have been a busy boy and staying out in this summer sun. Walking home in the light just makes the day worthwhile. We have been long awaiting the summer smells and warm air, I think its now here!

Toro Y Moi is a new interest. The stage name used by Chazwick Bundick.
He has been identified as the new 'chillwave movement of the summer.'

I think these two tracks prove that the critics are right.

Bring on the summer!

THE FIND..


The decision to start a Blog was decided on the fact that one day, if I search hard enough, I will find THE track. A track that will fill me with an overpowering excitement and happiness. To me, all those long hours of listening to podcasts and mixes pay off when a track that lifts you from start to end is found. Every second and minute of this song excites me. I can happily say that this is my favourite tune of 2010..for the time being, I am sure a few more will crop up somewhere. It will definately be in my Top 10 by the end of the year. I know...a rash decision, but one I am happy to make. This sound inspires me to DJ and write music...maybe oneday? 

I am in the process of putting together some Nu Disco/Disco tracks for a mix. So by the end of the year a Joeyplays Mix will be available. The vocals  in this track are bone shivering and the repetative climb throughout the song only feeds the excitement...5.51 is the melting point!

THIS ROCKS MY WORLD!

Summers Coming..


MARTHA'S POND.

Walking out the door this morning, around 8.30am(early riser)...I could feel warm air...and thoughts of summer filled my head. I quickly grabbed my Ipod and listened to my Summer Playlist. As I looked up to see when my bus will arrive, the sun caught my eyes and I squinted. The heat of the sun warmed my face and I pulled a big grin. HAPPYCHAPPY. 

This is my 'Summer Teaser Track.' I love Ladyhawkes voice...and butt may I add. But this track is a remix by 'The Swiss' and don't they do it well people!

Take yourself back to a favourite summer moment/memory and play this...

Joeys Memory - Graces boat, hot sun, clear blue sky, sea spray, Marthas Vineyard...take...me...back.

Bedroom Beat...



Well...apologies to all who saw me on Fri, I was a bit worse for wear.
I looked like 'Sloth' from The Goonies. Jeeeeesus thats not good.
Its my day off today so Im recovering nicely...5 soldiers and a runny egg! YUM.

Im a sucker for electronic music. Some of it can be very soothing, fun, uplifting, which atracts me mostly to it. So when I find a track after a long hunt, it adds to the satisfaction when I play it very loud...so loud that my next door neighbour comes round...

'Mate, Ive got 3 kids upstairs, they are now all awake, you couldn't turn it down?'

My brother replies...'ofcourse, Im so sorry!'

'Thanks mate...great music by the way'....

Uhhhhhh...what.
LEG-END!
They will be getting their colander back afterall.

I haven't posted anything for a few days and have been eager to post the new 'Acolyte' track
from 'Delphic' so hear it is...

High Times..

Last night was alot to take. Leaving my friends house this morning was hard.
Even after having a shower I still felt groggy, and the lady who passed me on the way to work
certainly made me feel like dogshit.

As I write this entry, I want it to find my friends in Meribel, Val D'isere, Ana and Ale in Mexico, Fulham folk, Bella and co in Newcastle, George and the team in the US and Ding in Mississippi. I love everything about this track. It makes me think of friends and family. Wherever you all are..in the mountains, trekking across the desert, sitting on your sofa, driving, walking home, sailing across the Atlantic, travelling...even if you aren't having the best day...play this...you will be alot happier by the end.

Your Mine...


When I started my blog, one of the first posts was
a track by Breakbot. Now he is back with 'Make You Mine'...his latest single.
The lyrics remind me of Daft Punk and a few other areas remind me of Prince.
If this is his love song, and is written for a girl, I want that girl to know she is a lucky lady.
This is a very cool track.

Now rip his clothes and do what he says!

If..


Its at that time of the day you start to clock watch.

To be fair...it looks like your laying a cable.

What Now...


....some of this.

In an old post I mentioned and uploaded Miike Snow. He was also in the number 1 spot 
of Joeyplays Top 10 of 2009. Cult Logic is another great track from this Swedish Band. Its called 'Cult Logic.'

Phonica is a cool record shop in Soho and I decided to spend a bit of time in there on my day off. I ended up staying so long that they offered me a sandwhich. I rejected it as I had just tackled a hoisin duck wrap from Tesco, which by the way was pretty rank. Stick to the sushi.
Whilst considering the sandwhich, The Juan Macleans rattled my headphones. Their tune 'One Day' is cool, old school 80s influence and the girls sweet vocals.

As I was placing my headphones in my wind chapped ears on top of Mont-Blanc, the song that I was about to choose on my ipod decided to choose itself. Siriusmo has been a fave of mine for a while and this tune keeps me on it! its called 'Nights Off.'
2.47 is just fookin greeeeeaaat. LISTEN TO IT LOUD!

Snowfall..

So as I'm about to embark on a lovely 5 days in Megeve skiing in crisp conditions and breathing in clean air, Gatwick decide to close the airport, as does Geneva. Thanks. 

If by any chance Stelios reads my blog...haha...then I hope you give me a full re-fund, along with the in-flight peanuts and the small can of fizzy pop. TIGHT.

Here are some beats for y'all...bit of funk/dub/dance..

Thats how I feel right now, actually, that is me right now typing under the snow...

I'll Get You..

Im feeling lethargic today. Nice feeling. The snows still falling outside too..v cosy. But I could do with it buggering off. 2 grazed knees, cut knuckles and a wind-chapped shnoz...gwaiiiiiiit! 

Check out this tune by Classixx called 'I'll Get You.'
Uplifting and fun, the music vid is cool too. Its usually a chick dancing around but it doesn't play the whole song.....and you probably would...so I have left you with this wierd robot.
