Hip To Be Square

Squeezing a post in during the week. Kind of a new one for the Square here. I only seem to get around to posting on the weekends and it's a habit that I need to get away from. Especially since I saw CWK and Tapes n Tapes on Monday and haven't even talked about it yet.

But I digress. I wanted to post these tracks so here they are.

First track is from Justice, a new band from France that just signed to Vice Records. They formed in 2003. Apparantly these guys are going to take over the electronic dance craze scene that knocking Daft Punk out of what many would consider to be the top bill for this type of music. They only have an EP out with Vice but the full length is due out in the Fall. In the meantime, download the track below and see what you think.

Kicks in with your basic high hat 4/4 dance rhythm and you think it's just going to be another standard dance mix, but then they hit yer ass with some serious distorted bass lines and crazy sound effects. Real crazy stuff in this track.

Waters of Nazareth

Second track is one of my favorite artists, Cassettes Won't Listen, from Brooklyn. Let me tell ya, this cat has a great thing going for him. Looking forward to his first album. This track is from Dr. Octagon's new album, The Return of Dr. Octagon, which comes out June 27th. Cassettes helped out on the album and here's his remix of the song Aliens.

Quick note, if you are a young striving artist that likes to make music video's, head over to CWL's myspace page for information about how you could be the director for his next video that Dope Lotus Records will be promoting to a number of outlets, include MTV.
