Odd Year

davidaarong — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 19:24:39 +0000

Been too quite lately on the music front and thought today would be a good day to get a little more vocal.

What I’ve been up to:

Been working on new remixes for several different artists

Working on new tracks for my Drop and Solo project

Working on two remixes for a track I did with Coury Palermo called “Headline”

Working on a couple tracks I did with Caitlyn Hessell

And finishing a 3 song ep with Robert Fierro for an as yet untitled collaboration, from which produced todays sneak peak. We were going for an 80′s synth vibe, dark but poppy.

Uploaded my remix for the Weezer contest. The winner gets a chance to produce a track with Rivers Cuomo (lead singer/writer for Weezer), how cool is that? Here’s to hoping I at least land in the top 10!

Coury Palermo – Here Comes The Rain Again (Odd Year Remix)

davidaarong — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 22:08:52 +0000

Coury Palermo has just released his first EP, “boxsideoutV.1″ And to promote his new EP, we are giving away this remix for free. This song, originally a song by the Eurythmics, is great to listen to at all times of the day.

If you are playing games of something the same as PartyPoker (http://www.partypoker.com/), this will get you hyped up or if you are chilling out with your girlfriend this tune will set the mood for you. It is both touching and upbeat, which I hope you will enjoy.

New Odd Year track is theme song to iPhone app

davidaarong — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 18:46:37 +0000

Hello all, just wanted to point everyone to a new track from Odd Year that is now the theme song to an iPhone app called, RadTap.

“RadTap is an exciting interactive iPhone game that tests your reaction speed and mental endurance, while transporting you back to the glory days of 1990s”

It’s very similar to “bop it“, but for an iPhone.
