"Don’t you lie to me / Yooplaaa!" is the band’s latest EP, and it showcases a certain eclecticism to hooyoosay. It is this certain undefinable quality that will bring listeners in by waves. Hints of They Might Be Giants, XTC, and Devo can all be heard in this introductory track. The funky electronic-infused style of the band during this effort will burrow deeply into listeners’ psyches, while there are enough twists and turns in this song to keep its replay value high. "Yooplaaa!" builds off the goodwill that was created during "Don’t you lie to me", and keeps things rosy and catchy even as an instrumental.
To understand the sheer variety that hooyoosay brings to the table, it is necessary to delve into the band’s discography. "My Obsession / Pain in my Heart" allows listeners to hear a different facet of hooyoosay, providing the band with the variety of styles, sounds, and influences that they need to easily shift into a future LP (the band’s debut full-length, "In Dekay", was released in 2011). While the track opens up with a peppy percussion, the vocals move into Momus territory. The more elegant and less full production of "My Obsession" establishes hooyoosay as an act that can spin off in a variety of different ways. "Pain in My Heart" is a more sorrow-filled and morose track, with the narrative qualities of the band shining through brightly.
Make sure to check out hooyoosay’s website and the entirety of their discography. I love the fact that the band creates digital 45's of their music; each EP comes with an A-side and B-side, which can be purchased from a wide variety of online retailers.
There may only be a few tracks present on the disc, but the unmatched skill and ability of hooyoosay is shown perfectly in each effort.

A little tribute for our musical friend 'Justin Jones'...Just like to say a few words back when ...2008 and 2009, Justin was writing and collabing with a lot of mixposure artists... Justin was learning to record at home so we were a work in progress learning to swap files and write together...He also was a very kool DJ in the mix chat room... he was awesome! great energy and very funny... we were always sending tracks to each other ... Ready for You was the last tune we were workin on ... Justin just sent me all tracks.. Justin also had bassist Rob Grant lay down a smokin bass track... Rob Grant is an amazing seasoned veteran musician and has done some major bass collabing... my friend guitarist Bilbozo also sent me some rockin tracks... so I thought I would mix this tune and just let you hear how good a rocker I think Justin Jones is ... so from the boyz in the band we hope you enjoy Ready for You...written & performed by Justin Jones.... thx, Bud

Hi folks, last few days to get yourself a #free copy of the Clinging to Satellites (AntiDome Remix) over on our website: http://wearechord.tumblr.com/free before it's officially released on Monday 30th September 2013...
finally got a tune done ,,bit of progressive house and its sub 5 minutes ,,so double result 
Not that there's a direct tie-in to the independent music scene, but by mere coincidence, I suspect many of the wonderful friends I've made at Mixposure.com might be interested to know that it's National Drink Beer Day! Not that you need an excuse, but this is one of the better ones I've encountered to justify getting blitzed...
