Silhouette’s Crazy December Rock ‘Em Right, Baby

Club Bangers: Where Are We Headed?

Editor’s note: Swagger’s no professional musician. He wishes so badly that he was, because apparently he thinks that musicians get all the chicks. Sure, he can play Für Elise on the guitar, but that’s about as far as it goes. William Hung sings better than him and all the heavy storms in recent years were caused by Swagger himself. Claims for damage can be forwarded to him via e-mail.

Pop quiz, boys and girls! You’re out on a Friday night, which song are you most likely going to hear more?

I Know You Want Me, by Pitbull
Pon De Floor, by Major Lazer

Choose the lesser evil.

Answer? It’s probably going to be even. But here’s the catch: You don’t know how Pon De Floor sounds like unless I let you listen to it, but oh, you DO know it. You know that song so well like the back of your hand.

I’m a huge fan of anything that’s not mainstream. Hearing a familiar tune when I’m out on a Friday night would send me on a huge rush. Just recently I’ve heard a local DJ play a remix of Kids by MGMT in a club. And I know for a fact that most, if not all, Kuchingites do not know about MGMT. Yet. I also heard another tune on New Years’ Eve, but I can’t seem to recall what it was.

“So what the hell are you trying to say?” I hear you ask. If you’ve been paying any attention, what I’m saying is that, our taste in music is evolving..and to be honest, Kuching, I love you so much for that. I see a future with no Ah Beng “tetno” music, but tasteful electro. I also see a future where fresh and soulful tunes replace “dangdut”, because seriously you guys, we are so over that stage.

Nobody listens to this shit anymore. That’s almost a decade and a half ago.

We are reaching a stage where more people are starting to appreciate the different sub-genres which can qualify as club bangers. We’re not just restricting ourselves to pop, or hip-hop, or even electro house (gasp!) anymore. We’re starting to explore our inner fantasies. So DJs, play that “maximal electronic indie 8-bit dance club new rave punk” track and let’s see Kuching get wild!

That being said, here are some free MP3s (the hottest phrase on the net, am I right?) for you guys to kick things off. What’s a few more songs in your library anyway? Turn your stereos up, boys and girls! Like it? Then right click and save file, as usual.

Track #1: Warp 1.9 ft. Steve Aoki by The Bloody Beetroots
