Some Summer Tunes

April 27, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

I know the weathers been up and down the past couple of weeks (mainly down) but with summer approaching hopefully we’ll get the chance to set up a barbecue here and there. And to get the barby going you’ll need more than just some mediocre cooking skills, a massive bag of meat and some alcohol to mask the taste of burnt sausages. Here’s a list of tunes to get the party going: Nelly – Ride Wit Me (Viceroy “Jet Life” […]

A few things I’ve forgotten to blog about over the past months…

December 31, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

Well as the year has been wrapping up a lot of things have happened. Firstly I got the chance to hang out backstage and see everyone from Example to Little Mix. Artists can be so different when they’re off the mic! I also was asked to film hundreds of elves passing a toy from one end of the Millennium Bridge to the other all in support of Cash for Kids! The elf costumes didn’t end there, as other supporters were […]

North Road

December 1, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

I got the chance to film an acoustic band from the Durham in the North East. North Road is comprised of three members, Jack Robinson, Josh Henderson & Charlie Griffiths. They cover a range of instruments but primarily use acoustic, mainly guitars, their vocals and a Cajon drum. North Road was formed in the summer of 2012 as all three of them studied for a diploma in Music at New College Durham. Prior to becoming North Road they played music individually and often […]

Songs to chill out to over Summer!

July 13, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

No Diggity was a classic R & B track by Blackstreet way back in 1996. It was the track that many people grooved to when R & B was ‘in’. Now Alice Jemima, a 19 year old singer songwriter from Newton Abbot, Devon has given a fresh take on it. Her version is more chilled with a rich tone that anyone can relax to during this hot summer. To me its got the same kind of vibe heard in The XX. […]

A Few Songs That You Should Definitely Check Out….

June 11, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

It has been a while since I came across a songs that worthy to put on repeat. Daft Punks ‘Get Lucky’ was great, but has been heard everywhere so I wanted to find something that wasn’t getting the playback it deserved (I sound like a hipster!). The first song that has to mentioned is by Roxie LS, a singer songwriter based in London who I can barely find anything about other than she likes surfing. Every link to information about […]

A little late to the Daft Punk party

May 1, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

Daft Punk are finally back to give us some new music for a proper album rather than a soundtrack, not that I’m saying the Tron soundtrack was poor, quite the contrary. I enjoyed it most when driving through snowy conditions while epic music boomed out the speakers amplifying the dreary conditions. They’re latest track, Get Lucky, is the first off they’re upcoming fourth album Random Access Memories. The album is to be released on 17 May, and judging from the […]

Creating Something from Nothing

April 14, 2013 by WhoIsDhillon

A few days ago I was browsing the web going through my feeds when I came across a video on Fail Blog. The video was less of a fail and way more of a win. Where as normal videos were of people falling over, typical mishaps and shenanigans, this was of stop motion on another level. I can’t remember the name of the creator since I’m typing this away from any Internet connection to find out, but what they had […]

My Top 10 Remixes of 2012

December 30, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

These are my top 10 favourite remixes of 2012. They may have not been created in this year, but it’s when they were added to my library! Runner Up – Paddling Out (Wolfgang Gartner Remix) – Miike Snow Well we’ll start with Miike Snow Paddling Out since I just figured out what this song was after hearing it several times. I though it’s definitely worth a mention since it was featured in an episode of Suits which gives anything massive brownie […]

My Top 10 Youtube Videos of the Year

December 20, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

Well the end of the year is nearly upon us (or the world depending on how you look at it), and I figured I’d list my top 10 videos of the year. This list has come from videos that I have shared with friends and family, or videos that I have just watched over and over because of the talent used to create it. So let’s begin! Runner Up: Why You Should Never Celebrate Too Soon Figure I’d start with the […]

Short Radio Show

December 8, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

Well as the analogy goes, it looks like I’ve got my fingers in too many pies (is it me or does that sound a bit dodgy nowadays?). I had to create a short 30min radio show for my Commercial Radio Course, and since I didn’t think I had a voice for radio I was too chuffed with doing it. What I did enjoy was the technical side of things such as creating the jingles, beds and some of the adverts. We also got the chance to […]

Carlos Serrano remixes!!

October 18, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

Been a while since I’ve stumbled onto a song worth writing about, and then a load of them pop up at once. All of them are by Carlo Serrano who has been mentioned before for his excellent mish-mash of Phoenix vs Kavinsky (check it out!), and now I’ve found some treasures. They came about while trying to find some remixes of the Chromatics, who were featured on the Drive soundtrack. It’s also worth having a listen to their album as […]

Passion Pit – Take a Walk Remixes

July 20, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

Passion Pit is a band I would not have heard of or got into until a mate made me listen to one of their tracks which was Sleepyhead, and that song went on to be my favourite off their 2007 debut EP ‘Chunk of Change’. The song was a catchy mishmash of synth pop with a backing vocal that appealed to my Indian background. After continuous play of the album, that single track went on to rack up a hefty play count. Now they […]

Santigold – L.E.S. Artistes (Brummer Remix)

June 25, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

I have no idea how I missed this remix, but thankfully I stumbled onto it this morning resulting in it being on all day. Santigold was an artist I listened to back in college after hearing her song ‘Creator’ featured during the Alberto Vo5 hair commercial. The odd genre bending style mixing fast rap over synth beats was enough to make it sound amazingly fresh and awesome. It pretty much resulted in her being constantly on repeat in the car […]

High For This (PatrickReza Dubstep Remix) – Ellie Goulding

May 31, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

Hot on the release of Ellie Goulding’s cover of the The Weekend’s High For This, PatrickReza has added his own spin on the track. Whereas Ellie’s cover is more relaxed, taking an almost dark electro vibe to a song about taking codeine, PatrickRezas is more uptempo. The bass builds up the drops sharp, with vocals chopped and distorted to what sounds like an old 8 bit NES. I gotta say I love the 8 bit mixing with the drumb and […]

Temper Trap – Need Your Love (RAC Mix)

May 10, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

I can’t say I’ve heard much of Temper Trap other than Sweet Disposition which I’ve played to death. If I’m honest Need Your Love is the second song I’ve probably heard by them, and I gotta say it is awesome, its an epic style of song if that can be called a genre, much like Florence and the Machine. The video for it pretty much sums it up, a Karate Kid 1.5 sequel in which we see what happens to […]

Lana Del Rey – Blue Jeans ft. Azealia Banks (Smims&Belle Extended Remix)

April 29, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

For the past few months I’ve been constantly listening to Lana Del Rey, but not her own work. She does have a half decent album which has been doing very well, but I’m more interested in the amount of remixes of her work that are hitting speakers left, right and well below the safe bass line. Thanks firstly to the PatrickReza dubstep remix of Blue Jeans, I started collecting any quality remix of her work that I could find, such […]

Phoenix vs. Kavinsky – Night Mania (Carlos Serrano Mix)

April 22, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

I first came across Phoenix a year ago after grabbing a ride back with a friend from university, and on first impression they were an easy to enjoy alternative rock band. They provided catchy riffs, with some pop lyrics that provided everything you could need from a nice chill out album. Kavinsky, on the other hand, whose only song I’ve heard is Nightcall thanks to the retro styled soundtrack of Drive, is something completely different. The song is a dark […]

Civil Twilight – Letters From The Sky

April 17, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

A few weeks ago I started to constantly listen to a remix of Civil Twilight’s Letters from the Sky. The opening lyrics were just something that sounded amazing to imagine. The whole concept of the sky somehow breaking. Okay, there is a hole in the ozone layer, but for me I couldn’t stop thinking of the Rugrats episode where Angelica tells everyone the sky is going to break and they have to build her a shelter. What would happen to […]

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Under The Bridge (Brummer Remix)

April 15, 2012 by WhoIsDhillon

Check out this nice remix of Under the Bridge done by Brummer. It’s nicely chilled out while still retaining the classic Red Hot Chilli Peppers guitar riff.
