STAFF PICKS FT. BRYNNE WALKER, NEW MEDIA

It is time again for our special Staff Pick blog post where Dim Mak's full-time, part-time, intern and external staff and close friends rummage through the Dim Mak back catalog and bring some of their favorite tracks to the forefront. This week's "Staff Picker" is Brynne Walker, New Media. She shares two track picks with us...Battles "Dance" 
"I don't even know where to begin here but I like this song because its so freewheeling and loosely structured. Its important to take a break on occasion from conventional song formats and the stuff you here all the time at the club and on the radio and listen to something like this. If there were a section for like Indie...Electronic...Jazz...Alternative... this song would probably be in that section. This song is a collage of beats and organ bits and guitar parts and all other kinds of shizzz that are just winging it all over the place and still everything comes back to the same beat. I wish I saw this band at Coachella, instead of powering down vodka like there was no tomorrow, but thats another story for another time...." Whitey "Leave Them All Behind" "I love Whitey, and feel free to make whatever associations to that statement that you need to make.  I cant find many things to dislike about a band comprising of snappily dressed and well groomed English gentleman with intrinsically cool music. I love the pace of this song and the energy, but the thing is like Whitey and most of its songs, it doesn't try to pull anything off, it just does. It just works. Its cool. You and I are of lesser coolness....but we deal with it somehow. Its the Kate Moss outfit of songs and I love listening to it while I'm on the Elliptical Machine at the gym which is definitely not cool at all and maybe you didn't wanna know..."
