After Passion Pit, we went back to the beach stage to catch Tahiti80, a French band that I've been listening to for quite some time. Heartbeat was one of the first songs I remember listening to in elementary school; InterFM was bumping this track a lot and I loved it.Wallpaper for the Soul is a soothing track; its great for an afternoon nap. Changes is a more upbeat song by Tahiti80 from their 2006 album, Fosbury. They were absolutely a quality performance, and their smooth instrumentals melted and molded perfectly with the setting sun.
Next up? A bit of Jay-Z. We just watched from the stands up high, but it was clear that it was amazing down in the front section. But I had Calvin Harris to go to, and Doug had the Smashing Pumpkins. Here's a clip I've been meaning to post for a while, but never got around to:
(This one is for you Lamar)
Jay-Z ft Lil Wayne - Summer in Brooklyn (Quincy Jones Cookin Soul Remix)
Scorcher. In a chill way. Beautiful video too.

I just had to go to Calvin Harris, and he did not disappoint. He played an hour long set, and it had me dancing my little ass off to his beats. Destroyed my legs doing so, but it was well worth it. Try out "Stars Come Out" off his 2009 album, Ready for the Weekend. It's got a really upbeat vibe, perfect for an adventurous summer night. He built up the set and had everyone dancing, especially when he dropped this beat: You Used to Hold Me. When that bassline dropped, everyone went nuts. Fantastic. One notable thing about Calvin Harris is that his remixes are GRAND as well. Check out his remix of Katy Perry's Waking up in Vegas.
iine, Calvin Harris
ReplyDeleteNe!!! I was so in the zone during his DJ set.
ReplyDeleteA lot of his songs are pop/catchy/chill but he like had remixed sets which made them really danceable.
