Stuck In My Skull 525 -- "Day and Night (The Widdler's Dubstep Remix)" [Free Music Week!]

Written By Christopher Audiophile on Monday, June 30, 2014 | 6/30/2014 10:18:00 AM

Free Music Week, Part 4 || Song: "Day and Night (The Widdler's Dubstep Remix)" || Original Artist: Kid Cudi || Remixing Artist: The Widdler || Download: http://www36.zippyshare.com/v/59213350/file.html ||
Comments: Hello and happy Monday! I'm not sure how long I'm going to keep going with Free Music Week, but I felt like three little entries just weren't enough. So without further ado, let's go for round four! I've had "Day and Night" stuck in my head on and off for a few days. Very dedicated readers and those of you lovely people that have been around from the beginning may remember waaaay back in Entry 6 when I first mentioned the song. As it happens, though, this is one of those funny instances of hearing the remix before the original. While I talked about the original back in Entry 6, it's high time I gave the remix I heard first its day in the sun. I heard The Widdler's Dubstep Remix first, and loved it. I think I found it on youtube originally, but I honestly don't remember. Regardless of source, the track is excellent. It's one of those remixes that takes an already excellent song and gently massages a new vibe out of it, inserting a bit here, changing a note there, and working its way into a lovely song that's clearly different while retaining all of the excellence that characterized the original track. Enjoy!

Free Music Week, Part 3 || Song: "Ladies" || Artist: SKVTR || https://soundcloud.com/syzygyrecords/skvtr-ladies ||

Comments: Good morning everyone, and happy Friday! Today I'm pleased to bring you not one, not two, but FOUR free tracks! Granted, two of them are just me telling you to go look at This Beat Is Newtricious, because the one and only DJ Abso-Newt-ly has two amazing tracks with download links on his blog today. For my part, let's talk about the track "Ladies." As usual, I've never heard of this artist before, but they've done an excellent job of putting together a very instrumental chillstep track. It's calm, relaxing, and really puts a smile on my face. Clicking the download link will take you to their Facebook page, where you'll be able to download this and one other song for the free! To top it off, I wanted to let you lovely readers know about a this page: EDC2014LiveSets. Here you can grab (for free!) live sets from the EDC music festival by names such as Kaskade, Tiesto, and Seven Lions. That's all for today, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to end Free Music Week quite yet, so check back on Monday. Enjoy the weekend!

Stuck In My Skull 523 -- "Pop It" [Free Music Week!]

Free Music Week, Part 2 || Song: "Pop It" || Artist: Anamanaguchi || https://soundcloud.com/anamanaguchi/wheelie ||

Comments: Good morning, everyone! Today I'm bringing you music from another band I've never heard of, but you might have. According to Wikipedia, ANAMANAGUCHI has been involved in the soundtrack for the video game version of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and have a track of theirs featured on the game Rock Band. I can see why -- this upbeat chiptune track is incredibly catchy, and I am already finding myself listening to it on repeat. Their website also has a mildly entertaining timewaster about the song. Check this track out, and enjoy! Check back tomorrow for more free music!

Stuck In My Skull 522 -- "IPOS" [Free Music Week!]

Free Music Week, Part 1 || Song: "IPOS" || Artist: Inpetto || https://soundcloud.com/inpetto/ipos || Download Link: via Facebook ||


Comments: Good morning, everyone! You probably noticed an unexplained lack of posts last week. I apologize for that -- the entry that I had written to explain I'd be missing in action for a week didn't post, and so my little vacation went unexplained. To make up for it, I'm kicking off Stuck In My Skull's first ever Free Music Week! That's right, this week is going to be chock-full of amazing music that you don't have to pay for.
Once I realized that my last entry didn't post and decided to do Free Music Week, I headed to Soundcloud and started searching. For those of you who don't know, Soundcloud is an excellent place to find new music of any genre, from both famous and up-and-coming artists. For example, I clicked on Explore, selected 'Dance' as the genre I wanted to explore, and had my pick of nearly-infinite tracks. As of this morning, there's everything from an hour long set by R3HAB (a free download), an hour of Tiesto's Club Life podcast (also a free download), a stack of remixes by various artists, and eventually this gem. One of the things I've really come to appreciate about the Internet is how easy it is for new artists to spread their music, and this is no exception. Prior to writing this entry, I had never heard of Inpetto. According to their website, however, artists like Sander van Doorn, David Guetta, and Axwell have, and are fans. After hearing this song, I can see why.
I have no idea if "IPOS" is supposed to stand for anything, but it does make me stand up and applaud. This track is amazing. Soundcloud shows this as being labelled progressive house, but I am loving the very chill instrumentation and trance influences all over this track. Perhaps chill house would be a better label? Naming conventions aside, the instrumentation is masterful. This track is seven and a half minutes of awesome. The best part is, you can download this song for free by liking the artist on Facebook. Check this song out, and keep an eye on this blog all week for more free music!
