Nostalgia: THE ARCADE PT. 01

My fellow Arcadians! It is a sufficiently bright idea to celebrate our beloved acronym that has been designed gracefully to convey multiple stages and characters that formulate musical platforms in 8-Bits Per Second!


... WTF?!


What Am I Saying? ... Duuhh! ...

Anyway, Let me just shut up and get down to it ... I've decided that just like THE ARTISTIC SERIES that will be rolling around here ... i would be dedicating this little tiny space to YOU & US - THE ARCADIANS!

So with that, i will be posting 5 Classic Arcade Games! Some you might know, some you might not but the main focus is you getting to know them!

LET'S GO!:

STAR TREK

HANG ON

TRON

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION

CAVEMAN

I challenge anybody for the prize of ALL MY BEATS I'VE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE to defeat me In ANY ... I mean ANY Game Here ...
You are reading this you are alarmed to messing with the BEST here ! Hehehe!

The Heavens In Moods: Samantha James

There I go again ... drifting the followers away from the POP/R&B/Hip-Hop that we tend to find it again and again elsewhere, but as a LOVER OF MUSIC in general (Yes ... We Love ALMOST EVERYTHING!), we need to shed the LIGHT into some cool ass music.

Meet Samantha James.

Personally, i don't know what made me get her album at the first place ... i read her biography and i realized that she is an "American Dance Musician". Hmmm . Now the question was: "Am I going to find the usual dance songs we are sick and horrified to hear them at the clubs?"

The answer for that was NO!

This is more like a brilliant piece of SMOOTH, SOULFUL, AIRY & HYPNOTIZING work. Doing some type of work while listening to this album is going to be like AIR CONDITIONER for your ears!

Enough Talking And Check Her Out!:

Samantha James - Angel Love



EXTRA:

Samantha James - Rise



This track went Number 1 in the Billboard Dance Charts!

YOU! or anyone else reading this ... please DO ME A FAVOR ... the next time i DO NOT make an ARTISTIC SERIES with more a more frequent flow ... SACK ME from this blogging job ... it just wasn't made for me ... PERIOD! Gawd!

Anyway,

The Good News Is (for those who care) ... is that i'm BACK with another like FLOOR WARS EPISODE 44 and this time we have Jose Morraja's editorial for Neo2 Magazine. I think i saw one of his photos randomly online not knowing who he was and then i came to find him on the NEO2 Magazine while i was looking to get some new fashion magazines ... and as much as we love Photography and Sneakers ...

IRON MAN: The Anime

Indeed ... I seem to be the one that always drifts this blog away into documenting something other than just plain music ... i mean ... we are not a NEWS GUIDE blog that we give you a million updates of whats going on at this precise tiny-second, but we do make sure that what we document is at least for us of quality.

But anyway ... Back to whats important:

I won't say that i'm a BIG anime fan and all ... that is simply because i just don't seem to find the time to sit and watch ALL these series as much as i would want to ... taking in account that i would love giving much of my non-existent time to it. But this here (and a few other) releases kept my eye opened for a while.

The monster production studio MADHOUSE teamed up with MARVEL to produce 4 series of 4 different Marvel characters ... and the first two that are about to emerge are IRON MAN & WOLVERINE. Honestly ... I looked up on the Wolverine trailer first as i was much interested on that but really ... what i saw didn't make my views HOPEFUL (and 10000 other people that saw it will say the same! .. LOL!). But IRON MAN ... Now THIS I will be patiently waiting to see ... It just looks DOPE!

Galaxies In Sound: Hudson Mohawke

I think that at least 60% of the music that i have in this messed up laptop revolves around INSTRUMENTALS! I mean ... i am a producer anyway so it is automatic that i draw inspiration from somewhere. And this dude here ... kind of MESSED my ears up when i first heard his music! I just couldn't really describe what was going on there but the one factor that kept me even more interested in his stuff: its only because THE MUSIC IS DOPE!!! PERIOD!

He is from GLASGOW (UK Baaybee!), He's 21 and the age of 15 under the name DJ Itchy, he was the youngest ever UK DMC finalist ... His music is like a cross over of Hip Hop, R&B, Electronica, Experimental, Heavy-Synthed Shit that will keep your creative juices flowing!

He is signed to WARP RECORDS and he has an album out called "BUTTER"

Chase N. Cashe - LOVEnd (Instrumental Album)

Waddup World!

I Know ... I Know ... I have been away a lot more than actually NOT EXISTING in this blog but if it takes SURGEON DRE an ETERNITY to release a cure called DETOX to the Rap Game ... Then i'm doing a great job in returning! But Yes, ever since much is happening with all of us ... sometimes we forget to post some dopeness that other musical gladiators are throwing to the world so it is only right everyone should know about Chase N. Cashes Instrumental Album that is available FOR FREE!

The man and his crew are FL Studio users (please do not doubt the software already ... i can mention you more than enough producers in the game that use this!) ... And according to us, he did a great job maintaining CREATIVITY and VERSATILITY through the whole piece.

Enough of me talking on this ... i will let the music speak for its damn self:

Video = Clipse Feat. Cam'ron "Popular Demand (Popeyes)"

There are several reasons why I like this song/video...

1. The Clipse
2. Camron is wearing a flannel shirt whilst eating chicken and chips. (This is considered very dangerous in the Hipster/Cool world.)
3. The Lady in the pink shirt doing her 'Gangsta Lean Walk' at 0:42
4. It's filmed inside/outside Popeyes.

I'm surprised (shocked actually) Popeyes hasn't reached the UK or at least London. It is pretty much the Mecca of chicken and chip shops across the universe.

Ahh well I guess Morleys will have to do...

Since I officially Ether'd my Pointers : ( (Rain + Sleet + Hail + Snow!) I've been looking for that casual/comfortable sneaker.

Cheryl Vs Kelis

Yoooooooo 2 da yo 2 da yoyooooooooo, whats happning my fellow bloggers inna *cockney voice* i gots 2 represent my home, endz, bits, yard whatever u wanna call it look at me gettin carried away any who. theres a cat fight poppin off in da music biz FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT okkkk let me clear my throat cough cough erm i wanna do this properly, Michael Buffer properly lets go. In the RED corner weighing inna round..........ERM.......AHHH.....scratches his head, lets just say T-pains BIG ASS CHAIN weighs more than her and it probably DOES aswell THE miss Cheryl cole. And in the blue corner u have i hate u so much rite now keeeeelis aka Z LISTER!!! As Michael Buffer would say..... LETS GET READY 2 RUMBLEEEE!!! basically cheryl cole denies Fight For This Love is a 'rip-off' of a Kelis song - little star, But music fans and even professional music reviewers have pointed out that the melody of the song’s verse - and the beat underneath - are almost identical ooooooooooo cheryl how could you. Cheryl's people knocked down the allegations today but some who have listened to the two songs back-to-back on sites such as YouTube say that until the chorus kicks in, the two tracks seem to be catchily similar.

One, calling herself Ali1998, wrote: 'It was the first thing I thought of when I heard it and ran off to play Lil Star immediately to everyone in the room.
'My daughter exclaimed, "it’s exactly the same!" I wonder if she realises this or it’s subliminal.'Another, Chief Wahoo, said: 'I had no idea that it was even Cheryl Cole. But Lil Star by Kelis just kept going through my head.'
An anonymous poster added: 'Pretty much the entire song is a re-sampled version of Lil Star, just with new lyrics and a dancey break. but sayin that both song have got that k-ci and jojo's 'ALL MY LIFE' TOO. so what is the point, the even comparing cheryls video below Dannii Minogue's video for her 2002 single Put The Needle On so now its a 3way match cheryl, kelis and danni are u thinking what were thinking. ARCADE we need 1.a paddling pool 2. find a remote place 3. borrow a fire truck once we've got that fill it up with melted chocolate preferably digestives and finally the best 2 last 4. hoseeeeeeeee dem downnnnnnnn looool dont act like u were'nt thinkin dat. so there u have it but on a real tip music is a cycle your always gonna get a beat sounding the same as another 1 oyer 1 more thing as the people would say down at BOSSIP.COM WHEN THE CHEQUES STOP COMING IN = KELIS!!!

BBC Review

This collection sounds like tomorrow’s hits, today. Mike Diver 2009-10-09

'With pop still enjoying a purple patch of anti-disposability, initiated to some extent by the rise to prominence of producers like Xenomania and Richard X, there’s never been a better opportunity for London’s Taio Cruz to make his mark. And with his track Break Your Heart doing the business on the singles chart – it debuted at number one – this second album is perfectly timed.
Comprised of 11 original numbers and his Tinchy Stryder hook-up Take Me Back, all of which feature Cruz as at least a co-writer (befitting given his history as a songwriter for Will Young and current calling as a collaborator with the likes of Sugababes, Britney Spears and Cheryl Cole), Rokstarr bounces to a beat that feels fresh and vibrant. Even at its slowest moments – the glitchy RnB of Best Girl, the syrupy I’ll Never Love Again and Forever Love’s Vocoder-smoulder – this collection sounds like tomorrow’s hits, today.
That number one was written for Girl-Aloud-gone-solo Cole, but made its way back to Cruz after drawing a blank from the sometime talent show judge’s management team. And the result is one that’s gone some way to making Cruz into the star he is at present, the track a naggingly infectious, smooth-of-chorus affair with a vocal hook so sharp and barbed it’s a wonder one can think of anything else for a full ten minutes after it’s finished. As far as calling cards go, it’s up there with Sound of the Underground.
Not that Cruz hadn’t enjoyed chart success before now – last year saw Come On Girl make the top five, and its parent LP, Departure, went top 20 – but Rokstarr really marks his arrival as a pop force to be reckoned with, and will see many other artists flock to work with him. Dirty Picture, featuring US singer Ke$ha, is the kind of track Sugababes should be patching up their every difference ever for, and Only You takes the anthemic atmosphere of Take That at their most mother-and-daughter friendly and puts a neat contemporary RnB spin on proceedings.
With such a talent obviously crying out for attention, and rightly receiving it, there’s only really one question to end on: why, oh why, is the title spelled like that? Answers on a virtual postcard, please...'

I'm sure there are some not so great reviews out there but I'm hardly gonna post those now am I?

And for the record I just wanted to point out that Taio's says;

"bumpin' that BRAND NEW shizzle by The Arcade"

The 'Best Girl' track is very old but it's our very first placement so we're just pleased to get something official out there for now. I am very excited about the BRAND NEW stuff we are making and can't actually wait for everyone else to hear it!

2010 is going to be a very interesting year for The Arcade make sure you keeping checking the blog and we shall keep you updated with all future projects.

Oh snap and don't forget to BUY THE ALBUM! Taio Cruz 'Rokstarr'

AND the song... Taio Cruz 'Best Girl'

Peace and Love.

Tinchy Stryder And N-Dubz Tulisa Go In For The KILL

Whats poppin my fellow bloggers? Right some of you may of heard about the controversy statement In for the kill singer la roux has been saying about british urban act Tinchy Stryder. "George Michael wrote Careless Whisper when he was 17," she says. "I didn't see Tinchy Stryder writing a song like that when he was 17, but he still gets the same praise. Personally, I don't think is professional to be slaggin off another artiste to the media, I would've thought being a new artist she'd be more humble i guess not. So this is what Tinchy and N-dubz singer Tulisa had to say...... For those of you that don't know, thats Trudie Goodwin's daughter AKA P.C June Ackland from the Bill.

Taio Cruz Interview with (Andrew John)

Taio cruz is currently one of the UK’s most in-demand songwriters and producers. He has a new album coming out before the end of the year but has still found time to pen songs for the likes of Leona Lewis, Shayne Ward and Alexandra Burke. We caught up with the young workaholic/music mogul at Island Records and talked all things pop and then some…

You are the CEO/founder of Rokstarr Music – what are the benefits of running your own label?
“I get a lot more creative control. I’ve signed a couple of producers to Rockstarr and some guys called The Arcade who are going to be very big. Also an artist called Carmichael who’s amazing - a white guy with the most soulful voice you’ve ever heard.”

You co-wrote Will Young’s Your Game, which won a BRIT in 2005 – what’s your view of award ceremonies?
“It’s recognition for what you’ve done but on the other side it’s just someone’s opinion. So if I have the Taio Cruz Awards, I’m going to give them to people I like. But getting awards is always good - I like my BRIT award in the house. Hopefully Tinchy wins his MOBOs and EMAs - I’ll have those too…”

How do you describe your music?

“I always say my music is pop. People are very visual and for good reason a lot of people will put me into an R&B category because I’m black and my voice is soulful. I listen to popular music - I listen to Jay-Z over Nas, or Biggie over 2Pac or Coldplay over a more obscure indie band. Hopefully they’ll eventually look past it and call me a pop artist, which is what I am.”

In keeping with the growing trend of musicians who also wear the producer’s hat – where do your priorities lie as an artist?
“I feel bad saying this to a degree - it almost feels like I’m saying I don’t want to see the fans but I do prefer being in the studio because I like being creative and making music. It’s good fun being on stage and seeing the reaction to your music, but I’m definitely more about producing the albums, writing the songs and singing.”

What’s the new album called?

“I was going to call it This Way Out because people always ask me ‘are you an RnB artist?’ I was hoping that this album would be the way out and that people would listen to the album and go ‘oh he does more than that - he’s a pop act.’ But I decided to call it Rockstarr.”

When does it drop in the UK and what styles can we expect to hear on the new record?

“We’re aiming to put it out in November. It’s going to be 50% dance-pop and the other half leans towards the bigger songs. Sort of more Coldplay-ish or like Take That’s album when they came back and had those big songs like Rule The World.”

Break Your Heart is the lead single – did you have fun shooting the video?

“It was such a hard day - loads of hot girls to kiss and speedboats, Aston Martins… I got to drive the speedboat for real - that’s really me driving that vehicle. It was 80 knots which is 100mph.”

You’ve been hired by Simon Cowell to produce Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke and Shayne Ward – have you begun writing with any of them yet?

“Shayne came to my house and I did six songs for him. I’ve done a few new songs for Leona that they really like but you don’t really know until the end whether they’re going to go on the album. I wrote one song for Alexandra - I think her album is close now.”

You’ve also scored a top 3 UK hit single with Tinchy Stryder earlier this year – what would be your dream collaboration and why?
“It would have been Michael Jackson but that can’t happen now unfortunately. I really don’t have a dream collaboration. I’d like to work with anyone really talented, (puts on an American accent) - if they gonna go mad international, sell units, play mad stadiums, then I want to work with you.”

Who’s your favourite artist right now?

“Justin Timberlake is my favourite pop artist, Kanye’s my favourite rapper plus Drake - he’s awesome. Favourite indie bands are Coldplay and Snow Patrol. My favourite pop bands would be Take That, The Script and maybe OneRepublic.”

Who would you choose to produce a Taio Cruz album if you could ever allow such thing to happen?

“Wow, the whole album and I didn’t produce any of it? That’s insane… Quincy Jones?”
