Dub Be Good To Me

noreply@blogger.com (aunt hazel) — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 07:28:00 PST

Uhf! The original of this track is also really brill but I prefer this particualr version cos it's a deep dub and I just really like deep dubzzz. It's a matter of principle. Like how you're vegetarian except for when you eat salmon... and turkey on Christmas - Duh! From the B-Side of Lil' Mark's Pulling Strings EP, Leeds based vinyl enthusiast and local house scene lynch pin Jacob Kelly aka. J.Cub, gives this slow-burning acid/techno chugger a drop of GHB. Wild sex and euphoria ensue. J.Cub is a busy guy and this EP dropped last month via the more established of his two (yes two) own imprints, Eclectic Avenue. His other venture CUB Records, was founded earlier this year in order to serve as a platform through which to digitally release some of his own material. FYI.

Modern Vintage

noreply@blogger.com (aunt hazel) — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 05:50:00 PST

Was pretty suprised to discover that this track was released near 8 years ago, when I came accross it in a mix today. Dunno if it's the raw, In Flagranti style, building precussion or the key section at 4:00 that screams One For Kenny, but the Unabombers rework of the US based collective Electric South's original, gives off some pretty contemporary vibes. Then again I guess that's simply the nature of a timeless beast... You can find a few copies of this vintage (too soon?) vinyl only release, rolling around on Discogs.

Non Compost Mentis

January 24. Gosh it's almost February can you believe it? How are you finding the new year? Are you feeling fresh for the new year? It's just like the old year but newer you know? Have you settled in to 2013 well? Have you found it easy? Honestly tell me... I would just fucking LOVE to know. Seriously.

Just a few things that have kept me untzing alone the past 24 days.

Fresh faced German Show-B has already garnered himself quite a following and well... beginning the year with an EP released on the fabled Munich label Compost Records, is just really good innit? // Some philosopher once theorised that if Bedmo Disco stopped making disco, the whole genre would just evaporate like water at boiling point. It's just a working hypothesis obviously but this edit from Awon should be kind of self explanatory then. // Couldn't really go without mentioning this. If you're like me and your vinyl collection looks a bit like a pensioners superannuation, you can breathe easy knowing that Jamie L's 2012 EP What We Saw In The Burg is finally available from all the usual digital pedlers. For one of the better releases of the last year, it's definitely worth today's Red Bull dollas.

Fuck so how did you get here? Did you get assaulted by a tramp brandishing a pre-loved syringe? Vintage just isn't a good look for everything hey, but seriously this isn't the 80's man, there's like treatment for that shit now...

Before you begin backing away from this abomination, I'll tell you that that I haven't looked for music in like ever, so all new material I come across sounds amazing to my uneducated ear... I was at a festival the other week and was like fuck this song is amaz and my friend was like I know right, it's called Promises. Essentially I'm trying to say that Kirill Tipo is as good as Nero or something. He is the next Nero even... is Nero even a guy? You can probably quote me on that.

I've been out of it for a while but I get back and something are just the same.

I caught a listen of Rayko's Tigerblood Drops II Mixtape, out on his soundcloud, and again I sit and listen and grin like a kid. That 70/80's Boogie Funk butter rolling over you makes Rayko a pillar of the nu.disco field.

I can't help but agonise over the tracklist however whilst disparaging Shazam and SoundHound I force myself to take a step-back. Just like present hungry kids at Christmas, stop and think, what is this really about? The second that sweet listing drops I'll never look back at this mix, tearing it apart like the wrapping paper from a present, getting at the juicy insides. Rayko did a good thing here, pause, reflect and then start fidgeting impatiently like the rest of us. . . and you will there are some cool cats in here.

In the 18 months since Ital's namesake EP Ital's Theme fronted their debut, LA based imprint 100% Silk has established itself as one of the most promising and engaging electronic music labels within the US.. In the last month or so a limited edition VA compilation, curated by the label in lieu of their Japan tour, was given a 1000 copy CD release via Tokyo distributor Melting Bot... and yeah, while these days, a lot of label's own various artist LP's have more in common with a bargain bin at the factory outlet of a maternity store than influential music, this thing is definately more I Wanna See All My Friends At Once than a shelf of electric bottle warmers. Not 100% sure where you can acquire yourself a copy of this gem, but a lot of the tracks are available individually if you look around.

There's a Red Cross Blood Service trailer always parked near the library at uni. It sits there so foreboding 'save three lives', beckoning my donation debut - I can feel the judgmental eyes of the do-gooders, that are seated on little plastic chairs outside it whilst filling in medical history forms, pierce my back as I hurry past with my head down. Then there's the post-donors strutting around with a little cotton wool ball taped to the inside of their elbow, as if they're a mutilated war veteran and it's 11/11. In my mind I'm just like put your jumper back on, it's winter. I feel the same way about buying vinyl. Knowing that it's something I should, but seldom do, has made me bitter and twisted - esp with the huge wave of vinyl only releases, the pool of stuff I'll never be able to own/catch up on, has now tripled in size. The debut of Young Adult's maiden EP yesterday gave me suicidal nightmares. You can hear why.

B2 of the aforementioned record, is an interesting collab between American (somewhere in Canada and/or the US) based duos LOL Boys and Grown Folk. For now only a clip of Ghostpath is available to listen to on the interweb, but given the caliber of the tracks below, plus an A side which also contains a new disco number from Suzanne Kraft, I would give blood for this record. Or you can buy it here.

As you're likely in the habit of reading worthwhile zines like Slothboogie, this will be old news but I'm going to give my two cents anyway just like out of spite or something. Despite having seen its initial debut as part of Wolf Music's VA WOLFEP009 about 9 months ago, Greymatter's bass-heavy-UK-influenced track Give It To Me Slow,was given its own EP release, complete with a swag of remixes, just a couple of weeks ago. It's been a while since German duo Session Victim have been given an airing on Wolf Music, and there really couldn't be a more opportune moment for Freer and Reiling's soft house/disco touch to compliment a track like the aformentioned. TIEF is the other original of Luckhurst's (Greymatter) on the EP, and it's one of those crescendo ridden, gurning crowd pleasers - so big lock-jaw smiles all around. Buy this release from Juno or something.

These days Seuil is pretty big deal, but for one reason or another this remix he did for Dyed Soundorom back in '08 kind of got swept under the carpet. I stumbled across this track by accident when it started playing on my iPod - I would usually flick when that happens, but at the time I was elbow deep birthing elephant calves. Lucky hey. This track is a total tease, and regardless of whether or not you've a penchant for tech, there is this kind of non-drop that the whole thing builds up to just after 5 mins, that might well knock your dirty socks off.

As a rule, Patricia's inbox only attracts mailouts from aspiring indie/folk bands and musicians - generally just Mormon freaks based somewhere in middle America. The attached essay length account of the respective artist/s complete life story tends to be worse than the music itself. One time Patricia got sent a demo from a Canadian rapper. One other time, she got sent this from Siberia.

mp3. Space Holiday Rocks - Women

Anton Glebev has been working under the pseudonym Space Holiday Rocks for about three years, and the 10 track album RAW is his first full-length production which was dropped at the end of May by the interesting Russian imprint Echotourist. For a label (as its name might suggest) with more than a few experimental ambient releases to its name, Glebev's LP is spectacularly refreshing, yet comfortably familiar, and while I certainly wouldn't go out and call it disco any time soon, tiny slices of particular songs instantly reminded of Suzanne Kraft's track's Green Flash and Femme Cosmic. On the label's Bandcamp RAW is tagged under indietronic and acousmatic???? Best news is the entire album is available for $0 here.

You're Probably Saying It Wrong

By the time it came around, I'd been waiting over 6 months for my first visit to Berlin's fabled bathouse-cum-discotheque Kleine Reise, which ended up being my only visit, coinciding with one of the last evenings the place would ever open. Feeling a bit sadistic and having spent the last three weeks travelling sans a 3G-capable phone, there was no time like the then present to slip some GHB into the drink of an unsuspecting patron who had a name like Peter or Robert. After close and we all spilled out onto the footpath, I lifted Paul/John's iPhone and left him slumped in Gorlitzer to be rear-ended or something. Crossing the street to avoid faux-coke wheelers on my way back to the station, I was overcome with this feeling that if my life were to end prematurely, I could die knowing I might have accomplished something in an existence which had thus far been largely unsuccessful and marred with a sad string of D-grade triumphs.

Peter Power - Sun-K digital/vinyl

For everyone who missed out, it really is a fucking shame that the original home of Kleine Reise has, at least whilst their neighbours keep minding other people's business, closed its doors - however the myth lives on regularly at Loftus Hall and Renate, and as of now through the brand's natural foray into the imprint business. KRR001 dropped in April, and seeing as its now almost June, I've stalled long enough on the 3 track EP that might well be one of the best releases I've come across this year (thus far). That said, my word count was up at least 10 minutes ago - so press play to bare witness to the blossoming genius that is Peter Power, and the jazzy hues of newcomer Dara. Better still, keep it for yourself on vinyl or digi over at Juno and Beatport. Google Translate suggests Kleine Reise translates as small travel. Go figure.

To most colleagues you'd just nod on your way past, but that woman you attended the team building conference with is definitely worthy of a "morning", even though you consciously drop the 'ing' for fear of sounding too friendly. Because you're speaking from the back of your larynx in little over a whisper, she'll never know that it's not a greeting, just "morni".

Back in the 18th Century, Louis Lazare Hoche was a general in France's revolutionary army, famous for failing to spare the Irish from the ugly vortex of the Kingdom, among other things. As a name like Lazare shouldn't be one to slip into historical forgotenness, a couple of years ago a Parisian trio began using the man's guise under which to produce, DJ and as of just now, release nice things... and thank God - these days we're seldom privileged to disco of the classic, edit-type vintage originating from France - so this debut release Lazare Hoche Edits: Limited Sampler, is nothing short of a treat. Two thirds the group's own work, plus one epic track courtesy of Martin Hayes (from the unstoppable Deutsche imprint Rose Recs), upon listening I couldn't help but wish that all labels could be such tight, strong performers, when touched for the first time....
~~We'll try and keep our eyes peeled for an actual release date, my bet would be before the end of the month as cogs are already turning on Discogs.~~
Get your hands on this thing right now from here.

Words can't really describe the enjoyment I get from a track like this. If I was from that part of the world, I'd be tempted to attribute to it a god-awful label like summer anthem - lucky I'm not. The respective Savile & Olin EP aside, this Good Guy Mikesh & Filbert remix has just popped up on a superb four track release from the fresh Leipzig based vinyl imprint, O*RS, so now is your chance to fall in love all over again. Fellow Leipzig(ers?) and Rose Records honchos M.ono and Luvless, make a deliciously smooth appearance that's doused in silky vocals and housey keys. O*RS 1700 is limited to 300 copies so snap it up whilst you can, it'll be worth your pennies.

Whilst our mouths salivate profusely in anticipation of their album debut that's set for May, British duo Helium Robots have just knocked together an incredibly neat three track EP - incredibly free for your downloading pleasure.

If you're craving something a little more forgiving, you'll be happy to know that veteran Manchester producer James Holroyd these days works under the guise of Begin, creating tracks in hues of electronica, nu-jazz, balearic disco and no doubt something else. Certainly one of begin's most synth-heavy productions, the third track on his Lay EP Obsolete, dropped onto vinyl about five months ago and has been rolling around my recently played ever since - and seeing as just the other day James Murphy used B2 of the same EP to begin his Boiler Room set, the time is nigh for some kind of non-ironical mention of a great track. The more I watch, the more I realise that DJ aside, it's impossible to dance upfront in a Boiler Room set and not look like a total dick or an acne ridden bullying victim at your first high school dance. Of late Holroyd's stuff has really tended in a deliciously balearic direction, so keep an eye on his Souncloud for pending releases etc if that stuff tickles your fancy.

Cows Have Best Friends

There's no doubting how in vogue a big dirty bass is in electronic music at the moment... Coming from one of the sound's hotbeds, the UK university town of Leeds, Will Crawshaw's Big Shot EP is a pretty relevant snapshot of whatever musical time we're currently existing in. Even in his few liaisons with disco, Crawshaw has never shied away from heavy injections of jaw-dropping, gut-wrenching bass. As such, a release like this which probably sounds like something one might expect to hear from the Jamie Jones' of the world, is a perfect fit for the young producer who's more than come into his own. The title track has been topping charts everywhere but it's Will's version of the song Groove Armada made famous that I'd kill a friend, if I had one, just to hear played out.

In high school I had this very camp substitute teacher who once shared that he was a dancer for the Dresden Dolls live show. He showed us videos that well and truly raped my Catholic school girl sense of respectability - nonetheless it was a more educational religion lesson than most. Irrelevant, totally, but when I first heard that Uncanny Valley was based out of the once leveled city, I thought of this... Already out on vinyl and available digitally come the 16th, Desert Flight the three track EP from established German artist Break SL, is merely the 9th release for the imprint. The title track is a driving, 10 minute, anxiety inducing audio simulation of a flight, as the cover art suggests, over rugged desert terrain - it's intense and warped, but in a I'm sweaty and seeing things kind of way... so basically it's great. However, after listening to the killer podcast that Break SL just dropped for UV, I've fallen more-so in love with the B side's jazz ridden Beercase Song. What seems to begin with a pretty simple formula, builds to a creshcendo of blues chords, complex drum sequences and strategically placed hi-hats - not to mention the vocals. Bravo Break SL.

Too Right

noreply@blogger.com (aunt hazel) — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 07:15:00 PDT

The labeling of certain musical styles, artists or tracks as guilty pleasures is pretty rampant nowadays - so much so that I find myself throwing most of the music I was listening to a couple of years ago, into that bag. Sure some of that stuff was total shit, but I am baffled as to the point at which my musical tastes did a 180 'cos I seem to have missed it... when did the music I listen to now become superior? In another two years will Soul Clap and Nico Jaar be in that bag too, only to be reclaimed by Generation whatevers in 15-20 years time? If that's the case then somethings not quite right... I first heard this track in a mix by Holic, and fell in love - but it was like being in love with my best friend's boyfriend, couldn't tell anyone... Two weeks later I've listened to the track so much that I'm like fuck this guilty feeling, the world needs to know I'm pregnant with his child and I'm keeping it. I know he is going to be so happy with my decision... need some baby names though, hoping it's a boy, wanna call him Jaxxon 'cos I love MJ but the 'xx' makes it really unique I reckon.

I get a warm and fuzzy feeling listening to New York disco like this. Part old school part new, Son Of Sound has just dropped a delicious remix on the latest EP of his collaborative project Native Underground, set to be released via Under The Shade on April 2. Raw, driving and dance floor ready, Son Of Sound's remix of Close might as well have been plucked from the cranium/s of Holy Ghost! or James Murphy - what really sold me though is the man's penchant for old school disco. With a back catalogue made up of a strange combination of very palatable 80's edits and very bassey, electronic rock, Son Of Sound's talents, whoever he is, are pretty wide ranging. Working a lot with Under The Shade, the man did a sweet little EP of edits for Mystery Meat last year. Check out his Soundcloud, it's hanging out to be pillaged by you.
