For a metal fan, writing a blog post on Electronic/Dubstep music is not only a peculiar affair, some would also say that it is outright blasphemous. However, good music is good music, be it in Metal, Electronica, or Justin Bieber speaking like Tupac and saying "Yo man I ain't got no drugs on me!" to the cops who arrested him in Florida (The last one being the best form of catharsis the soul can receive). And this blog post is dedicated to Ronald Jenkees, who I recently discovered, makes very exquisite sublime tracks, ALL of which are extremely catchy.
Me : That's me, a heavy metal fan
Everyone else : You don't look all that heavy.
So I came to know about Ronald Jenkees as I was browsing through this wonderful little site called bcradio.in, which was started by some music lovers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. It is an online radio portal dedicated to promote Indian acts, although, you may need to be wary of the much trashy music included in there as well. Surprised that RJ was included in there as he's American, but a good catch indeed.
Googled, Youtubed, Wiki-ed, Soundcloud-ed and found a ton more on Mr Jenkees. He seems to be quite a Youtube sensation, with his piano covers usually surmounting ~1 mil views or more. A lot of his soundcloud samples sound like they could be used in movies/advertisements. Anyway, I'm not going to bore you with his bio any longer, but I will be boring you with some of his tracks. And if you like them, leave a comment or two below, and reshare this blog post. And if you like my jokes, you can always subscribe to this blog piece (Hmm, there are only 3 subscribers to my blog, something is amiss).
This is a live video of RJ playing to his song called Throwing Fire. Just look at the precision
PS : I've updated my blog to include a music player at the bottom, so that you can listen to the music on the blog without having to play the videos (Slower internet speeds, third world problems). To view all the songs present, click the 'Toggle Playlist' button on the extreme right of the player
Hah I think not many ppl know about the blog. You should name it nicknadz commentary.
ReplyDeleteN haha I like the metallic fan pic:-P I am not able to listen to the song though.. N waah full cowboy dp haha..
I liked his rendition of Canon in D. His remix is interesting, not too superfluous but just enough beats to accompany and recognize the original piece. Really nice find.
