Posthuman "Lander EP" Handsette 03

2009-11-20T13:57:15Z

I'd never heard of Posthuman until I came across the post for this EP on No Future. I might have to dig in and check more out. It's not over the top, trying to make things seem hurried and it's not dull. It manages to find that middle ground that few tunes do. Worth grabbing that's for sure.

Bleep Radio 187: Trevor Wilkes

2009-11-18T14:22:15Z

There was no real master plan behind this week's Bleep. Which is really how most week's are I guess. I did grab records from 'opposite ends of the shelves' this week. You'll probably figure out what that means with either a glance at the tracklist or an initial listen. Oddly enough I'm happier with the transition in the middle than the NDK/Magic feet mix which should have been easier (easier in that those two records perhaps shouldn't have met in that way ;)).

Tobacco-Stained Mountain Goat

2009-11-18T06:34:35Z

Well, here's something completely different, mates - I'm going to scale a shaky soapbox here and attempt to blow my own tuneless trumpet, this time though not exactly musically-related.

I mean there's definitely reference to muzak thrown into the mix, but it's not an EP, an LP, a compilation, a tape, or even an interview with someone else vaguely creative in the aural sense.

See, the big news for me (personally in other words) this month is that my novel, Tobacco-Stained Mountain Goat, is finally starting to emerge from its 18-month sub-editing moth-balled purgatory...

The first 2 chapters are now online as a bit of a freebie teaser HERE.

What's it all about? God, I dunno - my editor Kristopher reckons it's "Sort of... well, indescribable, really -- noir-ish, subtly sci-fi, hard boiled, futuristic. Think Blade Runner with a touch of Sam Spade, a smattering of Orson Welles circa Touch of Evil, or better yet, The Third Man. And a shot of some good bourbon."

I think he captures the intent better than I'd ever hope to, and he definitely puts it way nicer than I'd feel happy to slap about in these parts - so big cheers in his direction.

It's finally going to be published in paperback form in 2010... thank bloody god. The people running with it are this way cool, semi-punk publisher in the U.S. called Another Sky Press and I love 'em to death. They've become mates and almost family over the course of the past 540-odd days of fine-tuning!

Anyway, enough blabbering. If anyone here ever gets time, have a peek, download the free long-winded PDF, and I hope to hell you actually dig the beast. If not, well that's cool too.

2009-11-17T14:05:36Z

Just like yesterday's post, here's another record that actually came out a coupe years back. Although from listening to it you'd swear it was even older than 2005. As Acid/Chi-towwn of this caliber just isn't supposed to have come out after the early 90's.

Brixton "Katzenpech EP" Holzplatten 81

2009-11-16T14:11:51Z

Here's a nasty little banger for those of you who don't like to pull your punches. It's a few years old now, but I see that Deejay has copies once more. There are actually a few additional Brixton releases that are suddenly available on Deejay, but this one is the one I feel is worth grabbing if you don't have it already.

Here is the first liveset I did with the new Ableton/APC 40 Combo. I was recorded at a Tuskulum party in Aue, in south-east Germany a few weekends ago. It's still a work in progress really, and has made me debate whether I wish to do ableton only live acts or not, as I will always prefer hardware from an audio perspective

Norman At Snork Label Night, Tresor Oct. 2009

2009-11-12T14:39:32Z

Norman seems to have started popping up again lately. An EP, a track on a Various, this set plus a few other mentionings all point towards him making an emergence again for a little while. Must have spent some time in a retreat crafting his next bit of aural assault.

2009-11-12T14:38:46Z

Miditonal as finally gotten around to putting together another one of their hyperactive tributes to dance-floor decimation. These 4 relatively simple tracks are like a dirty, tracky, modern version of what Dance mania was at one time: strictly a good time meant to move limbs. Done.

Whenever I do an Electro mix I try to keep it fresh. I try to make sure it contains tracks I haven't used in previous Electro mixes. Electro mixes around these parts are also made for a particular person (My wife, Sylvia) as she digs em. Who am I to argue. Enjoy her taste.

The Nighttripper "Machine City EP" ESP 9131-1

2009-11-09T15:58:42Z

Orlando Voorn has been around in the electronic music realms for quite some time. He's almost at the two decade mark, which by anyone's measuring standards is fantastic. At one point or another in his career he's put out a record that is considered a classic in any of the genres/sub-genres out there. The Orlando Voorn touch is always with them, regardless of the name he uses for them and that's what make records like this one still relevant 16 years after being released.
