hatswithbuttons

good evening, fine gentle reader. let me be the first to welcome you to hats with buttons, and let me begin by describing our objective in creating this particular piece of ongoing literature. this blog is dedicated to all that is right with the world, all that emits positive vibrations, all that is artistic and quality and excellent. i expect to deal mostly in music, and i can only assume that my fellow writers, among them the likes of james hamill, buddy bernhard, and shadi bakour, will do the same. but fear not, dear reader, for we will at times abandon the darkness and dream of dawn - we shall mix it up with our opinions, anecdotes, perspectives, directives, and introspections as we see fit.
i'd like to kick this off with a couple of my favorite beats as of late: it's mainly club shit, electro house with 4 on the floor beats, head-noddable synth lines, and that dirty, sexy blacklight sound.
without further ado:
justice's waters of nazareth: this song inspires movement in anyone with a soul. the dirty synth gives the piece a feeling of rawness, an edginess that today's european trance lacks. the cymbal part gives the tune a bit of a fast pace despite the average danceable tempo. if you are into music produced by computers and haven't heard justice, you're in for a treat.


this next tune is called 'we have arrived', by mescalinum united. this is widely considered to be the first gabber track ever recorded, some 20 years ago. its appeal still holds today, however, although the song sounds random, cliche, and perhaps a bit too industrial for a modern audience. if your taste in electronic music is sophisticated enough to work past the drawbacks and difficulties inherent to this tune, you'll appreciate the heavy bass and innovative use of samples and low synths employed by the godfather of hardstyle.
