Sometimes I really surprise myself. For instance, I really like the new album from San Francisco based deep house DJ/producer Miguel Migs. The album is called Those Things and it is full of soulful funk and reggae influenced dance music that incorporates a lot of live instrumentation as well. Some of the tracks almost have a Jamiroquai sorta vibe. Anyhow, while most of the electronic music that I generally like is more minimal and ambient in nature, Those Things (with its throbbing 4/4 bass drum) is colorful music meant to be played in a dance club and features guest vocals on every song.
Those Things is out now on Salted Music. It isn’t emo, hardcore, punk, roots-rock, indie rock, experimental electronic, or any other type of music that would normally be featured here on Can You See The Sunset From The Southside, but that’s okay with me. Maybe I should even take dance lessons.
