Breaks track that mixes the funky drummer beat, acid squiggles and rave stabs. Should be a recipe for an unholy mess. But Rebel Sketchy (Dave Gammy) holds it together in an interesting loose limbed way. The Andy McAllister remix is the one to go for. Listen or buy. Blurb: Rebel Sketchy returns with his 3rd release on Ground [...]
Swedish shoegaze electronic from Fort Fairfield. A tad on the twee side. But kinda cute nonetheless. This post is dedicated to DJ L. Blurb: Fort Fairfield was the musical duo, comprising brothers John and Tom Lück, who used to create an atmospheric experimental music they called “shoegaze electronic.” Now days they have been teaming up [...]
Another of the remixes for the Yelle comp. But this time a different track – S’eteint Le Soleil. To listen and download. The sound of alien romance by synth. Boy being meets girl being under the light of a dying star. Tentacles intertwine, as their suckers meet. And then the planet explodes and they are [...]
Lithuanians Proper Heat have a new EP of Balearic nu-disco out in January. The original mix is nice but a bit too much disco for me. The best of the mixes, by far, is the Polar Rundfunk one. This gives it a more dubbed, spaced feel for those woozy early morning comedowns. Longish clips only [...]
Here we are with Rayvon, from Pittsburgh – another act with spelling issues. The claim for him is “The artist is one of a kind, producing music that others wouldn’t dare dabble in.” This usually means it’s not very good. But in fact, this machine music is quite good, in an early Autechre kind of way. [...]
Not sure how I missed this remix by Jordan F. But I did. A lovely bit of slow 80s synth work. It is VERY 80s but it is exceedingly well done.
Released by: Binalog Productions
Release date: Oct 28, 2011
Since I’ve quite a backlog, I’m going to stick with new stuff for the time being. And, let’s be honest, fewer people bother reading blogs this late in december. Anyway, new EP on 530 Techno from Pontbender who featured on remix duty yesterday. And a free track to download. Semicircle is the techno counterpoint to Zoe’s Sunshine on a [...]
EP on 530Techno from last month, which I somehow missed. But not the strongest package 530 have produced. The original mix of Boozit is a tech house chugger of no particular merit. But Angel Alanis gives it an acid feel and some bass bloops. Syphon gives it a minimal feel. Pointbender also goes for low [...]
Garage. Not really a genre I’ve ever thought much of. But this EP shifts that opinion just a little. It has that light skippy feeling of garage, with a slightly more solid bass. And none of that skibbidee, brrrp stuff. An’ I used ta live near Croydon, so it’s me manor. Ya get me? Ahem. [...]
Gill Scott Heron never meant anything to me – much to the distain of my sister. And I wasn’t even that keen on the Jamie XX remix of this track (written not by Heron but by Brook Benton in 1959). But Mighty Mouse’s version is ok, contrasting Heron’s gruff voice against light electronic disco. To [...]
