Welcome to Teflon's first instalment from our mystery musical guest commentator. Enjoy!!
Teflonetix Sessions #001
Welcome to the very first chapter of Teflonetix Sessions; all things music for music lovers – news, mixtapes, compilations, and musical soundscapes covering all kinds of genres.
No matter what music you’re into, certain songs, albums and DJ mixes provide the soundtrack to our lives – songs and albums we listen to after breaking up with a loved one, introspective albums we delve into solo buried deep into our headphones while travelling, or simply tracks dropped by dj’s during those crazy nights out with mates that compel us to raise our arms high on the dance floor with huge grins, wondering if life can get any better – certain music has the power to stir up strong emotional responses in each and every one of us. For me, this is what I love about music the most (awwwww).
Music today is a constantly changing animal due to the substantial advances in digital technology. The internet has obviously forever changed the way we as listeners discover and experience music. My Space, for example, was originally born in LA as a medium for local unsigned bands and artists to connect and get their music HEARD – then of course it morphed into an online global social medium.
The advances in home music production technology has produced an incredible array of music that was once only able to be produced and recorded in studios - now whether it be electronic producers producing incredible music using software programs like Ableton Live (which guys like Daft Punk also use for their live shows), to artists with simply a guitar and a beautiful voice – for those that truly appreciate good music, there has never been such an exciting time to be alive.
Of course, with the positives of this technology come the negatives...one of the reasons Motown music, for example, sounds so damn good is because it was recorded using analogue processes that today (in some instances) have been discarded in favour of more modern digital production methods that just don’t have the same warmth and soul of analogue production. And for you the listener – listen to Bob Dylan on cd or mp3, then listen to the same music on a vinyl record - no prizes for guessing which sounds the best. But I digress...
Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Katie Perry, David Guetta, Guy Sebastian, the latest f*cking winner of Pop Idol – all these ‘artists’ and others of a similar ilk have two things in common:
1. The music vomited up by these ‘artists’ is mass produced, talentless crap that is served to the masses just like McDonalds: it comes off a production line looking great, it smells ok but at the end of the day it is bad for you. Entertainment it might possibly be, quality music it is most definitely not.
2. You will never find any music from or information about these types of ‘artists’ on this blog - here at Teflonetix we just have too much self respect :D
TIP OF THE HAT:
DJ Shortkut and DJ Vinroc – So Much Soul mixtape volume 1
This mixtape has been out in the internet ether for a minute now, produced by two extremely talented DJ’s in their own right; DJ Shortkut and DJ Vinroc. This mix seamlessly blends soul, hip hop and everything in between...truly one of the best mixtapes I’ve ever heard in my life. From Barry White to Mos Def – Shortkut and Vinroc obviously spent a lot of time carefully selecting the music on this mix. Theres been 9 or 10 So Much Soul mixtapes from these guys now (have a hunt around), but to my mind this one is still the best. Whether it be providing a backdrop for a romantic dinner for two, early beats for a house party or just kicking back with a spliff with sunshine drifting through your window – do yourself a favour and give this one a listen.
And don’t forget – if you like what you hear, make sure you check out Shortkut and Vinroc’s websites and official streaming sites, or catch them play live and show these guys some support. True artists in every sense of the word.
Enjoy : )
