Awesome - Justice

Justice has created another work of art with their remix of Klaxon's "As Above So Below". The songs carries a very similar feel to Justice's remix of "Electric Feel," with the same funky feel and smart instrumentation. After hearing the remix, it's hard to imagine the song any other way, as Justice really take the song and make it their own.


The beat is standard but very catchy, and though the instrumentals often repeat the same refrain, the song keeps the listener entertained throughout. This is the kind of song you expect to hear at a slightly hipper bowling alley; there is no urgency or climactic moment in the song, and you can just chill out to it as you bob to the beat. The vocals are pleasant enough, but they suit the song perfectly with their smooth, laid-back delivery. Pick up this song, and listen to it as you drive home from the beach Sunday evening. Chillout, and let the beat do all the moving for you.

Today's review was short because I would like to plug two blogs that I have recenty been into.

First, http://www.pisforpresas.blogspot.com/ is my friend Michael's blog. His blog features straight, easy downloads of electronic music with no reviews to sift through or words to get in your way. He is very avant-garde in his choice of electronic music, so if you share his love for music and trust his keen sense to pick out a good track, stop on over and click every link you can find. Michael was the primary inspiration for my blog, and he continuously inspires my music taste, so this recommendation is as much a thank you as respect for a fellow music blogger.

Second, http://stutter-something-profound.blogspot.com/ is my friend T's blog. Though mostly a diary, her blog contains some very interesting critiques and points-of-view on the daily life that everyone faces. Read her blog as a story. It's a Catcher in Rye for the 2009 teenager. Also, T knows a thing or two about good music. Hit her up and learn.
