What I’m Listening To May 18 2012 Edition

I have thousands of songs in my iTunes and across various cloud music services, but the last week I have been jamming to a small set of songs on repeat. The first one I am posting is Too Close, but Alex Clare. I had not really heard of this guy until a few months ago until an amazing song called Caroline. This new one happens to be featured in a Internet Explorer ad, but that doesn’t take away from it’s awesomeness. There is something about the chill lyrics and then the heavy hitting dubstep interludes. Alex Clare has something about his voice that hits on a really intense level, while still seeming calm.

Here is the strange video:

Alex Clare – Too Close

Next up here is a remix of KO KO’s song Float. The song is high-tempo and very positive, from the whistles to the keyboard rifts in the background. I like the original and all, but the Sound Remedy Remix is one of those remix’s that gives the music a whole new life. It adds the heavy drop that such a positive song needs to keep it’s badassness. I like dubstep and remixes, but anything with too much lazers or crazy effects (a la Skrillex remixes of Skrillex) can be too much for me. This song teeters close to the edge of my boundary at some points, but then it kills it on the drop. This is the kind of song that I heard playing through a list of blog music and it instantly grabbed my attention. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
