Twilight Notes and Samba Room are proud to introduce “Samba Lounge,” our new weekly sunday evening event.  This party takes place out on the patio on Las Olas, in the middle of downtown Fort Lauderdale. Our first week was a huge success, many thanks Vionette Torres, Tim from Samba, and all those who made it out. 

This weekly event features:

• DJ Adam Foster plus special guests
• The best local artists showing their work
• Extended Happy Hour specials and half price appetizers
• In the Biz Night
• Hosted by Rob Negron

I’ve heard the name thrown around.. but did not really understand.  Listen to this track, buy this album. Whoa.  Passion Pit-Sleepyhead

“A real deal album, one that delivers on the blissful and bright promises of early fan favorites like “Sleepyhead.” It took nearly two months of explosive off-the-cuff sessions with producer Chris Zane (Les Savy Fav, The Walkmen) to get there-everything was written and recorded on the fly-but Manners is exactly that, an irresistible, filler-free glimpse into the mind of a man who’d like to unleash his very own Pet Sounds someday.”

“Check the carefully-sculpted songwriting on display: the speaker-panning synths and slightly sinister children’s chorus (straight outta P.S. 22 in NYC) of “Little Secrets” and “The Reeling,” the lead dulcimer loops and melancholic melodies of “Moth’s Wings,” the ecstatic, riled-up climax of “Folds in Your Hands.” All part of a greater plan, the next step of which is taking Passion Pit’s live show to a level that matches, and eventually exceeds, Manners ambition and kaleidoscopic soundscapes.”

Of all the Michael Jackson tributes/remixes/edits to come out, this one from Boston producers Soul Clap is by far the best, most creative one I’ve heard.  Soul Clap takes a nice, slow beat and adds layer upon layer of spacey, ambient vocal and key samples to create a hypnotizing, melancholy, wistful feeling.  

Listen Here. Respect.  R.I.P.
