More of a DJ tool than a fully realized track.

The Alunageorge track just makes me wish it was by Jessie Ware.

A couple weeks ago I was listening to a mix in my truck on the way to a party that had "Au Seve" in it, then was singing it walking down the street, then when I walked into the party "Au Seve" was playing. It was a very synchronistic moment in my life.

i am intrigued about where the first really good song will place.

i don't think i've heard 'new for u' out either but it captures a certain dance floor moment and def. makes me feel like i have. quite charming really.

Someone said it sounds like a hiphop producer's first stab at a house track, which yeah, it kinda does in exactly that way.

it is def a strange choice for track of the year for sure but i think it's nice enough. works great on the excellent deetron ra podcast.

Spotify / Youtube
― J0rdan S., Monday, 21 January 2013 18:57 (eleven years ago) link
this shit is awesome wtf
Yeah! So good, great video as well.
― MikoMcha, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:57 (eleven years ago) link
My first vote to place! Kind of conflicted given that it originally came out as an album track in 2010, but it's still great.
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 21 January 2013 18:58 (eleven years ago) link
Love this one!
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Monday, 21 January 2013 18:58 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, fun video
the synths at the end of this are dope
― J0rdan S., Monday, 21 January 2013 18:58 (eleven years ago) link
first holy shit wow of the list so far, track and video go the lengths

whoa she had an awesome disco song in the tracks poll 2 years ago right? or am i thinking of someone else
― ciderpress, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:59 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, I dont remember what it was called though
― flag posts in the dust (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 21 January 2013 18:59 (eleven years ago) link
this is rad too but i liked that other one better
"Hasta la Verdad" iirc
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 21 January 2013 18:59 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i remember she had a song in a previous poll that i wasn't bowled over by but this is really excellent
― lex pretend, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
a necessary condition for a good song would be that i listen to it till the end when i hear it first. this didn't happen to any of the first 5 songs. for a really good song i would need to want to listen again. obviously this did not happen neither yet...
― alex in mainhattan, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
"Luz de Piedra de Luna" video is by ILX-approved misogynist CANADA btw.
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 21 January 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, this song is v v good. The best to place so far.
― The Reverend, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:01 (eleven years ago) link
Someone tell me which thread this was being discussed on so I can bookmark it. I love it when these out-of-the-blue picks appear.
― Matt DC, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:01 (eleven years ago) link
"Hasta la Verdad"'s placing in the 2010 poll inspired latin american hipster shit but I don't recall "Luz de Piedra de Luna" being discussed much on ILX since then. It was the highest-scoring song of 2012 on the Singles Jukebox though.
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 21 January 2013 19:03 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I was going to say, The Singles Jukebox got me onto it: http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=6030
― MikoMcha, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:04 (eleven years ago) link
I'm guessing javiera mena and maybe latin american hipster shit xxp

The synths are a little too cheesy-rave for my liking, but the Javiera Mena song is fun, yeah.
― emil.y, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:06 (eleven years ago) link
Love this utterly ludicrous blurb from the Jukebox:
Andrew Casillas: Pardon the (slight) hyperbole, but what can I say about this song that hasn’t already been said about the Sistine Chapel? Everything about this is configured exactly right — the house piano, the Miami Sound Machine percussion, the disco boot stompin’ beat, the steady ebb and flow of the vocals, etc. Yet this song feels naturally big and epic without the cold precision of so much dance floor filler. This is the best kind of pop music — the type which, at its most primal and satisfying, makes its listeners lose their inhibitions and surrender to the power of the beat. By that measure, “Luz de Piedra de Luna” is one of the greatest pop songs of this young century.
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 21 January 2013 19:07 (eleven years ago) link
nice :) hadn't heard this before even tho i loved "hasta la verdad"

It was Club Fonograma's best song 2 years ago! Andrew Casillas writes for both Club Fonograma and Singles Jukebox which is how it wormed our way here I guess. Yay! http://www.clubfonograma.com/2010/12/club-fonogramas-best-songs-of-2010-part_13.html
