So I’m back in my favorite city in the world, lovely London (sorry New York, I do love you and you are incredible, but I’m afraid London wins in my book) and what better way to start this week’s post than with two tracks from UK based Jamie Woon, a singer/songwriter whom I’m definitely digging. First up is “Night Air”, off last year’s EP (co-produced with Burial) and “Lady Luck” is the first single off his upcoming debut album Mirrorwriting; listen to both here. Also check out this video of Woon singing in a canoe in Cambodia; no bells, whistles or fancy camera work, just a simple video of Woon sitting in a canoe. In Cambodia. Singing. Awesome.

Who doesn’t enjoy a good mashup? Thanks German Ben Stiller!

New Multi-Mash-Up by Ben Stilller aka Mashup-Germany.
Ben Stilller:
“This is a mashup with a special topic. It’s all about saying goodbye or missing somebody. I took several chart breaker songs with these topics and put them together in a pretty intense multi mashup with Pink’s “Raise your glass”. You might need to listen to it a couple of times, before you get used to all the stuff that is going on in this track. Watch out for the lyrics and enjoy! If you like it, please tell the world about it.”

Featured Gallery Music VIP Access With Mike Posner

The room was eerily dark as Mike Posner stepped onto the stage at the House of Blues on the Sunset strip last night. At first note, I soon became awash in a sea of slackened hipsters and screaming sorority girls alike. Intensely illuminated by the blinding backlight produced by an army of iPhone’s intent on capturing the moment for posterity, ie. Facebook’s sake. Fear not, for up on stage Mike was not by his lonesome either. His usual accompanying turntable and the all too familiar platinum clamshell were nowhere to be seen, but in their stead set a full 7 piece band. With “Baby Face” Posner at the helm we were all taken for a cruise through some of his favorite mix-tape selections, current Billboard hits, and even took a turn at a some old skool covers like ELO’s “Evil Woman.” Just when the crowd became thirsty for more, he wet the whistles of the parched passengers on this Love Boat de Posner.

Music Mike Posner IS Cooler Than Me

by Barbie Brady

Mike Posner is one cool dude. He’s young, he’s talented, and he’s touring around the country playing clubs and festivals. Cooler Than Me should definitely be on your summer play list. Although he’s been lucky catching the right ears at the best possible time of his career, he remains humble and dedicated. I like that in a prodigy. Keep making straight hits young man…carry on!

interview Music Mike Posner: Out the Door and Down the Rabbit Hole

by Jeff Nau

November 17, 2009 - 1:35 pm

If you’d told Mike Posner he was destined to become a hip-hop sensation before he became a college graduate, he might have reacted the way many of us would–a blank stare and a “What the hell are you on?” look as he made his way to his next class lecture. Yet in less than a year, Posner has already been snatched from a somewhat predictable life as All-American College Student, and plunged into a wonderland where his recordings are already taking the ‘net by storm– and he’s only begun his senior year at Duke. Posner spent the better part of his 2008 school year walled up in his dorm room and working on what he calls a “mix tape” (read: CD), churning out the best beats and rhythms he could come up with. In January 2009, he released the music as an LP, A Matter of Time, and became one of the genre’s newest hot topics. Within a couple of months, the CD was out, the bidding war had begun, and Posner had become an overnight sensation (albeit through a great deal of hard work and long hours).
