New Music From Simon Spire & This Is NoAliaz

In preparation of his US full-length debut next year, I received a copy of Simon Spire's EP, "No Solid Ground." The set includes "Liberate Your Love," which I've already covered and praised. The EP also has two new offerings from Spire with one being a remix. The first one is a new tack titled "The Blue Pill," which I remember him playing in person at an open mic night when I was in NYC this past October. It is a change of pace from the song that introduced me to Spire and I love the simplicity of just having a piano and xylophone (or is it the vaunted xylo-piano). Check it out for yourself.

The second one is a remix of the song "Knocking On An Open Door."

The remix features what sounds like (and I'm probably on the wrong and will be properly corrected) a drum beat machine. It is a nice remix, but I still prefer the original, which you can listen to below.

The new additions on the EP definitely build momentum for his debut here next year. At the same time, it makes me hungry for more new music from Simon.

Next up on today's block of new music, is Virginia beat-maker NoAliaz. Brought to my attention from a friend (thanks Brandi), NoAliaz's sounds are a mix of hip-hop, dubstep, and techno. I'm digging the Star Wars track titled "Pathway To The Darkside" and think if that film franchise ever wanted to show some bit of edge or -cough- dark side, this song would have some fit in a re-cut trailer.


Another track, titled "Spaceship Rider (The Abduction)" has a sound that reminds me of the Kylie Minogue song, "Come Into My World." Give it a listen below and check out the rest of his track son his Soundcloud.  The beats are there and it'd be interesting to hear what someone can do with them as far as putting words to them.
