NI – Scarbee Funk Guitar
This is another example of how powerful the music software is becoming. Now you can have a professional rhythm guitarist, using the best guitar, recorded through vintage gear, playing exactly what you want. Incredible.

We at the Fuzzy Lounge are huge fans of the Scarbee Instruments. In fact, they are so good that they are featured in 90% of the Sandman Theory Tracks!

The Hood Internet – Trillwave
The Hood Internet x Mishka – TRILLWAVE by hoodinternet
So it has been awhile since I have heard some good mash-ups. Usually you could maybe find one decently made track out of a dozen… The other day, I heard It Was A Rainy Day (Ice Cube vs CFCF) on another blog and had to check out who made the track because it was the best mash-up tune that I have listened to recently! Well it turns out the artists were The Hood Internet. This Chicago-based production duo are mash-up kings who create blends and remixes of hip-hop (from the mainstream to the underground) with indie rock.
Check these guys out and download their mixtape!

Orbital – Beached
I just watched the film – The Beach (2000) again last night. It had been some years since I last saw it, but remembered I really liked it when it was originally released. This movie still has some great cinematography and perhaps is one of director Danny Boyle’s most underrated films. The thing that I found the most interesting of course was the movie’s soundtrack. A great collection of tunes from 1999 and 2000 from such electronic artists as Moby, Unkle, and Underworld. One of my most favorite Orbital songs was created specifically for this project. They took Angelo Badalamenti’s cinematic orchestral arrangements and Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie dialog quotes and made an incredible electronic, progressive trance tune. In fact this piece of vinyl still remains in my stack of most favorite records. So without further ado…

And since we couldn’t listen to just one Orbital song… Here is an awesome 2009 remix of one of their most popular tunes by one of the legendary Jedi Knights himself – Tom Middleton:

Virtual Boy
Alpha Pup Records in Los Angeles are one of those labels where you can’t help but take notice. Not unlike Ninja Tune or Warped Records, Alpha Pup continues to pump out new and exciting artists and music with each release. One of their latest releases is by two gentleman that go by the name of Virtual Boy. This California based duo brings an interesting listen that is reminiscent of synthy retro movie scores and old Nintendo games. Their EP, Symphony No. None, is a 4 track journey that brings you back to the days of playing the Legend of Zelda as a kid. Unfortunately it leaves you wanting a bit more, but I guess that what an EP is supposed to accomplish for an artist.
Check out their track, “Mass”.
