The music industry has had many changes in the last 10 years. Although some argue about the benefits, for many independent artists, the advantages have made it possible for them to have musical careers that might have not been possible otherwise. In this video, we bring you a compilation of some other interviews we conducted at LAMC 2014 in New York City.
During LAMC 2014, www.BAMM.tv had the pleasure to record a couple of impromptu songs with Esteman! The opportunity appeared and we took it, and what happiness it brought us to have this video. Enjoy this song with us, and fly away to “otro planeta” (another planet).

1. The Future Sound Of London – Environment Five
When I was a teenager, I was probably listening to FSOL more often than not, so maybe I’m biased here. Environment Five is the apex of what these 2 musicians are capable of. Everything is gentle and unpredictable, no beat “drops”, no melody reaches a climax, no idea is illegal, and sounds that would seem cheesy everywhere else are welcomed on this canvas. Dazed And Confused era guitars dance with wind chimes while relaxing waterfalls give way to something ominous and terrifying in the distance. Nothing short of brilliant.
Blackbird Blackbird’s new album Tangerine Sky contains some of most elegant material we’ve heard yet from the burgeoning SF songwriter/producer. Full of surprises, Tangerine Sky takes a creative approach to meshing a wide array of contemporary styles into something unique that can only exist in the now. This is futuristic electronic-pop that doesn’t look back for inspiration, instead tying together elements of forward thinking hip-hop/R&B, space-age folk, and the meditative grooves of house and techno.
Check out the official video for Tangerine Sky’s title track above – an exclusive BAMM.tv production! Oh, and if you want to find out more about this great act, it’s all here …
