Spotify

We are delighted to announce that our music is now available for free on yet another source online. This is the up and coming and very popular Spotify.

We are thankful to our digital distributors CD Baby for getting us into Spotify. Not every artist can directly upload to Spotify and you need a distributor first to get on there.

Thankfully our music has been on digital distribution for quite some time and finally after many months we have been added to the Spotify catalogue.

So just type in “donkeybox” (all one word not donkey box) and press play

Comic book god Alan Moore has launched a spiffy new website called “Dodgem Logic”.  The whole thing looks just wonderful.   It’s a promotional site for his new magazine of the same name which is an attempt to recapture the spirit of underground magazines of the seventies.  The site attempts to do much the same thing.

Click here to give it a look-see and watch Alan Moore’s amusing introduction to magazine and site.

Also check out this page where you can download a bunch of obscure tracks from various Northhampton artists for free!

There’s still a few days left in one of our biggest ever giveaways on The Joint Review website.  One person will win a massive bag of goodies – 31 items in all – including CDs, DVDs and digital songbooks.

So, what are you waiting for!?  Get over there!

Pretty Lights is the musical vision of the ultra-versatile Colorado based producer Derek Vincent Smith, accompanied in the live setting by drummer, Cory Eberhard. Together these two achieve a raw energy rarely reached in the realm of electronic music.

At a time when music lovers from almost all subcultures and genres are finding common ground in the basic form of bangin’ beats, Pretty Lights is giving the people what they want; electro organic cutting-edge party rocking beats that fill venues with energy and emotion and send dance floors into frenzies. And the people are responding. Pretty Lights’ first two albums, Taking Up Your Precious Time and Filling Up The City Skies, have been downloaded over 300,000 times from PrettyLightsMusic.com, which equates to over 6.15 million track downloads. Additionally, since January 2009 Pretty Lights has sold out more than 33 shows including stops at Bowery Ballroom in New York, the Fox Theatre in Boulder, Georgia Theatre in Athens, and Subterranean, Congress, and The Metro in Chicago.

Pretty Lights returns with his new album, Passing By Behind Your Eyes, out October 6 and available for free download at PrettyLightsMusic.com.

What makes Pretty Lights truly different though, is that these beats have serious soul. Passing By Behind Your Eyes continues to showcase juxtaposing collages of beautiful vintage samples against backdrops of futuristic synthesis and dirty broken beats, creating a sound that can snap your neck while simultaneously shedding your tears. The sound is not only getting around, it’s spreading like a virus.

I love when really divergent and disjointed  interests collide into one. I’m gonna call this post a 2fer.

First, Padma Lakshmi’s appearance on ”Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” got my swimsuit area all excited. Add Mos Def and Talib Kweli as musical guests with the Roots and I could not be happier. And then I got happier. The backup singers for their performance of “History” were none other than my girls from the Dirty Projectors!!!! Peep the video down there.

Added to this very special Turkey Day post is a cover of the Dirty Projector’s “Stillness is the Move” by Solange Knowles (yes, her sister). Here’s my algorithmic description of the song  copied out of an email I sent to some friends –

 (dirty projectors – pretentious white people) + my favorite knowles sister + (erykah badu’s bag lady – empowering women) + falsetto tones that aren’t mariah X my friday excitement = the shiznit!!!

I would not have guessed this would happen in a million years. It’s my favorite song of their most recent album. Even told my boy DJ Gits that he should chop the beat up and do something with it. Suggested the “Bootybootybootybooty” line from that Bubba Sparxx cut. D’oh well. I love when my world’s collide. In summary, that’s “Top Chef” love, Padma-induced tent pole, the Roots, Black Star, Dirty Projectors, Knowles booty, Erykah Badu, and Dr. Dre all smashed up. G’yeah!!!
