London Fields Radio Rap Mix

2012-11-21T14:09:00.001+00:00

Lately I have been listening to LFR (London Fields Radio); a tiny radio station based in a corner in the Wilton Way Cafe in Hackney. I'm really happy to have this as my local radio station!

Check out this old school rap mix, bringing back memories!

Woodkid Run Boy Run Video

2012-11-20T16:20:00.001+00:00

And here's another video from Yoann Lemoine AKA Woodkid. Same as last time with the Iron, I like the track, but man the video is amazing!!! I think I might even go to his next gig in London on 14 May at the Roundhouse!

New Dead Can Dance Album

2012-08-14T14:27:00.000+01:00

Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry got together to produce the first Dead Can Dance album; Anastasis. The name of the album means resurrection in Greek, a suitable title as it is their first album in 16 years!.. The 8-track album was launched yesterday and it is now available to order.

The sound of the album is no different really than what they used to do. But I guess that's a good thing, as it is that sound that Dead Can Dance fans would expect. There is a sense of melancholia and mysticism throughout with Middle Eastern and Gaelic influences. It brings listeners a feeling of nostalgia and at the same time prepares them for something bigger. And what beautiful artwork?! It's a piece of art!

Dead Can Dance have announced a tour in North America to present the album; I really do hope they come to Europe as well! I guess we'll have to wait and see!

The full album can be streamed here.

The radio edit version (not featured in the album) of Amnesia, can be downloaded here for free.

Par Grindvik - Sinister

2012-03-27T13:10:00.000+01:00

This is what I call good techno!!! Here is a track from Berlin based, Par Grindvik. Originally from Sweden, Grindvik, also known as The Hollow, has been around for a good few years. Other than being a well respected DJ and producer, he also owns his own label, Stockholm LTD. I only discovered him recently, one of my mates sent me the track below and I was well impressed! Thanks for opening my eyes (or... ears!) J! :)

&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;amp;gt;ps&lt;/p&gt;

Archive - You Make Me Feel

2012-02-14T13:02:00.000+00:00

Since it's Valentine's day, here's one of my favorite tracks from English band; Archive. This is such a unique band that I like so much! Formed in London in 1994 and still going on, over the years they have released over 10 albums (excluding the live ones!) and more than 20 singles. You Make me Feel was first released in 1999, as the 1st track of Take My Head. The band is still touring, mainly in Europe, with 3 upcoming gigs in France, and there are rumours they are working on their next album, expected to be released in 2012!

You may want to put the volume up for this one!

&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;amp;gt;A&lt;/p&gt;

Redshape at Basing House

2012-01-31T14:42:00.001+00:00

Basing House, not a venue that gets me too excited, unless of course Redshape is playing! Saying that, on Saturday night I thought the venue actually wasn't bad at all! The security was nice and polite, the bar staff the same and the sound really good as well!

Redshape played for just over 1 hour. Really nice set, I was at the front the whole time dancing by the speaker. The crowd was cool and seemed to be enjoying the music, Redshape seemed to be happy behind his laptop, dancing here and there. Overall really nice night. The guy that played before Redshape was also pretty good, no idea who it was though..

Here's a mix from Redshape, available as a free download, about 2 years old, but I still like listening to it.

Saturday night with Efdemin

2012-01-24T21:21:00.002+00:00

Last Saturday Efdemin was playing at Fabric. I keep saying to myself I will never go back there, but they always bring good acts... so I keep going back... We got there at 4am and stayed until just before 6.30am. Efdemin played a super nice set; dark, industrial and quite repetitive, in a positive way of course! Even though I really enjoyed the music, I avoided going to any other room, I didn't manage to get into it. I found the crowd, as always, distracting, mainly made of students, tourists, and non music lovers... Not really there for the music, rather because Fabric is the only club they know in London. I really hope Efdemin recorded the set, so I can listen to it at home while partying with my mates!

Oh yes... we also got there just before Skudge finished his set. I would have enjoyed that a lot! I did enjoy a lot the 15mins I heard! Such a shame we are always late...

Here's a little something from Skudge!..

New release from Philippe Petit

2012-01-13T11:09:00.000+00:00

So what's been happening in Chamonix since the last release of Myk Derill on Knotweed Records? Well Philippe Petit, DJ and founder of Knotweed Records, has been preparing his second release on his own label; a 3 track EP named Invasion. Here's a teaser for your musical pleasure... Another great piece of work from Petit!

KW 003 - Philippe Petit - Invasion E.P. - Preview - available mid Jan 2012 on vinyl by Knotweed Records

The EP should be out any day now, so keep your eyes and ears open!

Marcel Dettmann's latest release

2012-01-12T11:40:00.001+00:00

As already mentioned in a previous post, Marcel Dettmann released on 2 Dec his latest 2 track EP on 50 Weapons. I had previously posted a teaser of Deluge; track 1 of the EP, but I was just listening to Duel; track 2 of the EP, which without a doubt made me buy the record!

Here's the track, so you can see for yourselves...

On a different note... Went to buy it online from Soho based Black Market Records, where it would cost me £14. Getting it from Berlin based Monkeytown Recors though cost me 13EUR (that would be £11). How often do I find myself debating... Should I be buying local or go for cheaper?..

Nicolas Jaar new EP

2011-12-23T23:54:00.000+00:00

This is the new, available as a free download and soon as a limited edition vinyl, 2 track EP from 21 year old Nicolas Jaar. I find both tracks really atmospheric, awakening nostalgic feelings inside me. These spasmodic noises make me feel like I am part of a journey. The first track is slightly more to my liking, though the second one has some really nice melodies.

Zola Jesus

2011-11-17T11:07:00.000+00:00

Pinch and Shackleton release

2011-11-04T13:12:00.001+00:00

Been listening to the latest Pinch and Shackleton release. I love every single track on the album! It's been a while since I listened to something I enjoyed so much! Then again, it was expected, put Pinch and Shackleton together and there is no way it can go wrong.

Marcel Dettmann new release

2011-11-02T20:22:00.002+00:00

Here's a teaser of Marcel Dettmann's new release. The two track EP is expected to be released on 2nd December on 50 Weapons, Modeselektor's white label. Other artists having released on 50 Weapons include Shackleton and Roska.

Tinariwen at KOKO

2011-10-28T16:11:00.000+01:00

Wednesday 26th October, Tinariwen playing live at KOKO.

One of the best gigs I've been to! KOKO was packed! Tinariwen played for about 1.5hrs, they had such good energy, the crowd loved it! Everyone was dancing and clapping, such a good vibe! It was almost emotional seeing everyone so into it and also such a mixed crowd, everyone loving it! Another super successful Soundcrash event!

If you haven't had the chance to see them yet, don't miss them next time they play London, I think rumour has it they should be back early next year.

Joker's new album

2011-10-27T13:00:00.000+01:00

Joker's new album, The Vision, is released on 31st October. It is already available to be streamed in full though. So this morning I had a listen... and what do I think? Not impressed, I'm afraid... The album consists of 12 tracks. It starts fine with 1.Intro and it finishes fine with 12.The Magic Causeway. Now tracks 2, 4, 9 and 11 are all super cheesy with lots of horrible vocals... 8.Lost adds some unexpected R&B to the album and for something a bit more positive there is a pretty cool grime track 10.Back in the Days.

Now as for the cover artwork...I think it's also horrible...

I wish I had something more positive to say about this album, but unfortunately I don't; I won't buy it and hopefully will never listen to it again.

DJ and producer, Myk Derill is releasing his new EP, Enclosure, on 15th November on Knotweed Records. This is the second release of the recently launched french label, though Derill has already had a few releases on several other labels. Derill plays some pretty dark techno, influenced by the scene in Berlin, where he is based. I look forward to getting the EP once it's out!

Seasick Steve

2011-10-23T16:33:00.001+01:00

Last Thursday I found myself at an unusual gig for me; Seasick Steve at HMV Hammersmith Apollo! The day of the gig my mate called me to tell me they had an extra ticket for the gig and if I wanted to go, I said... why not?! I'm so glad I said yes! No support group, which was definitely a positive, Seasick Steve was on stage for about 2hrs, and alongside him there were a couple of pretty cool appearances; John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin and Paloma Faith.

The gig was so nice! Seasick Steve and his band gave such a nice performance. The drummer was so cool, you could tell he was really enjoying it! John Paul Jones went on stage after the first track and stayed till the end, playing his bass and the mandolin. Paloma Faith sang on a few songs including the last one; Dog House, which seemed to drag and drag!.. He also got his three sons on stage; apparently one has written Whiskey Ballad, the other one has done the artwork for his albums and the third one has produced all his albums or maybe just the last one. Oh yes, at some point he got this girl on stage to sing a ballad to her, how funny! and a bit awkward...
