Unfortunately, we’re in the middle of a snow storm in NYC and there’s nothing pretty about it. Everything is closed so I can’t order delivery and since I don’t cook there’s no food in my apartment, these are rough times friends. As has become customary, my only answer for bad weather is good music so [...]
“I’ve been walking in the rain again
Too bad for the record we were never friends
I want you with your back up against the wall
I want you in the hallways at the shopping mall..”
Anyone that’s ever had one of those intensely sexual relationships will probably have some serious flashbacks reading those last two lines. Sebastien Grainger, [...]
Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real disease (check WebMD) that affects dozens of people, maybe hundreds. To cope, some people take Vitamin D, some people use sun lamps, and some people drink themselves stupid.
But there’s a new way to get through these dark days of winter, to stay on the sunny side of life even [...]
I was watching a bad ass movie called Ichi about a sexy blind girl who also happens to be a master Samurai on a journey to find her teacher. The beutiful Ichi walks around trying to mind her business but keeps running into all these bad guys that force her to show her skills and [...]
Musically there have been a few defining moments in my life, one of them being the first time I was put onto Wu-Tang’s Enter The 36 Chambers. I didn’t understand exactly what it was that I was listening to, but I did know for sure that this was something I wanted to hear more of. The [...]
Saturdays on EMPT are usually reserved for Kevin Casey’s sampled Saturday’s but I’ve been so busy developing the Le DJ branch of the site that Kevin and I haven’t even had the chance to speak. However, I was able to find a great remake to honor our beloved sampled saturdays. Who Do You Love is [...]
Heartbreaker is the surprise collaboration between MSTRKRFT and John Legend originally from the Fist of God album. The lyrics to to this song are pretty straight forward but fitting, he’s passionately in love with a girl who quits on him in the heat of the moment. Now he’s living with this strange combination of love and [...]
I heard the original To The Light House before I left for Cali and the remix when I got back to New York. It was then and there that I learned how much I don’t like NYC winters anymore. I’m a very visual person and aesthetics can have a pretty big impact on the way [...]
I got an email last week telling me about the new Lo-Fi-Fnk song but I put it to the back burner because of the madness happening with the Grammy’s, how unfortunate because this track is great. Most of you will remember LFF from their 2006 EP Boylife, an album which sounds absolutely nothing like this [...]
I get stumped whenever people ask me what kind of music we feature on EMPT, mainly because I think the best style is no style which in turn encompasses all styles, I mean it’s complicated. We don’t follow forumulas here, in fact we avoid them like a superstition. For everyone who want’s to know how [...]
