Happy Easter 2011 | Remember ...

Hello guys,
I wish you all a happy easter and i guess you haven't wait for me to start the day, going to the mass, enjoying some chocolate eggs, spending the day in family. That's exactly the spirit of Easter for me ... but we also have to keep in mind that Easter's not just for the chocolate eggs but it's mainly the celebration of Jesus Christ's rebirth. Yeah, I know ... it may sound cheesy and you would probably think "Nicolas Strands is catholic ... he's going to spoil us with his stories about religion" but that's not it ... it's just that we should remember the original celebration before the festive and commercial one.

Anyway, i've been doing pretty loads of tracks, mainly remixes during my holidays (at least, i worked, haha) and I can tell you that you will soon see them out on stores.

The track i want to share with you today is a special one because it is one of the best remixes i've ever had of one of my tracks. It's going to be released later this year itself (probably at the end of it because of vocals and short time) but still you can hear a preview of it.
It is a track i made in collaboration with Bruno Simonetta (aka Sulto) and it's called "Something You Like". The version i'm sharing is Revero Remix ...

If ever you've heard the Tron soundtrack ... this should remind you of it.

Happy Easter y'all ! :)

Filthy Strands | 15 April (Tribute To A Legend) + Episode 1 of Podcast

Hey guys,


I know it's been a very long time that i haven't posted anything ... but i was in holidays and it seems that Mia, Neimad & G-Deon have been too. But we're back with some great stuff.


Just for today, i just wanna make you guys remember the great guy Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin also known as "Charlie Chaplin" was. He was one of the most creative and influential personalities of the silent-film era who gave more entertainment, pleasure and relief to so many people when they needed it to the most during the world war and during Hitler's rise. He was an English comic actor, film director and composer who used mime, slapstick and other visual comedy routines.


He wrote and directed most of the films, from 1915 he was also producing them, and by 1918 he also composed music for them, the most known being "Modern Times" and just for this, i wanna share this version of the song remade by J-Five, some rapper. Enjoyable!
Oh, and to those asking why i'm posting this ... it's because Sir Chaplin is having his 122th birthday today ... moment of silence please !






Just to end this post, i just wanna announce the very first episode of the blog's official podcast. For this first episode, it's a mix by Herve Pagez, a very talented producer from France with i'm collaborating on some stuff you'll hear soon !

Filthy Strands | April's Fish

Hey peeps! Welcome To Filthy Strands! 

How was your first day of April? Mine's was great ;) (Although I was victim of some...pranks) Anyways! ^^' It's holidays and Easter is coming at a great pace - and, Yes, I love chocolate :) I wish you happy days, and for those who aren't in holidays, don't worry, I have something for you! Ever seen an Adidas commercial? The one with an awesome music? wondered which music it was? Well, here it is! 

It is Civilization from the awesome band Justice. I love the bass and the effects, especially the upbeat rhythms. But then, the band itself is amazing, you shouldn't expect less from Justice. 

Enjoy =]

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything. - Plato 

Have a great week-end!
