Hi folks,

Cassette Culture is on indefinite pause but I'm still occasionally posting music along with photography, art, and other stuff on a new site called soundandink.

Soundandink is more of a personal project, just keeping track of interesting things that I like. Its not particularly journalistic so don't expect album reviews or anything. I'd just say if you like the music on Cassette Culture you might find similar things over at soundandink.

Cheers,
Tom

This is brilliant. Deep, resonating, catchy.

EP: House of Disco

2012-04-02T18:29:00.000+01:00

Fantastic new EP out on House of Disco Records featuring tracks from The Treatment, Satin Jackets, Robert Rodriguez, and Debonair. Laid-back, up-beat, deep, light - there's a little bit of everything here, all with a salute to classic disco.

New Album: The Hundred In The Hands

2012-03-30T15:33:00.001+01:00

The Hundred In The Hands have finished recording their second album which will be called Red Night.

They've released a Youtube video of a new track called Faded. Its dark and supremely atmospheric; themes that echoed through their previous album The Hundred In The Hands. It almost feels as if you're in the studio with them and the sounds are bouncing off the walls. On their twitter feed Eleanore and Jason say this is one of the "softer" moments of the album. See what you think:

Track: Supermen Lovers II

2012-03-30T12:03:00.000+01:00

I think we are in for another splendid weekend...

Track: Moonlight Matters (remix)

I think we are in for a splendid weekend.

Tracks: Monster Rally

2012-03-09T16:55:00.002Z

Monster Rally put out some glorious sun-soaked rhythms with the Crystal Ball album and now there's a whole new swimming pool of sound to throw ourselves into. Coral II: The Remixes is a mish-mash of tropical rhythm and soundscapes, there's even a bit of hip hop chuckling away somewhere. Have a listen below and then download - pay what you like.

Lemon Jelly are on hiatus - boo! - but fortunately one half of the jelly - Frank Eddie - has dropped a couple of tracks on us. Its all very Go Team! Will be keeping tabs.

Tracks: Casablanca

2012-01-13T19:14:00.006Z

Looks like Gomma are at it too!They have unleashed their "All-Stars": Munk, Moullinex, Telonius and The Phenomenal Handclap band on the Casablanca Records back catalogue to create a series of brilliant reworks featuring vocals from Peaches across the board.

Absolutely loving Maniac from Peaches and Moullinex!

p.s. Telonius's Donna Summer Our Love rework is pretty good but compare to Peter Zohdy & Michael Senna's Chicago rework...

Track: Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver

Discotexas's first release of 2012 explodes out of the sky bringing some lightening bolts of remixes with it.

Which is your favourite? I can't decide!

New track from Todd Terje, Inspector Norse, has a friendly groove and a light-hearted gait. Fine for a winter jaunt in the city.

Track: Mayer Hawthorne

Just picked this up over at SSSSound, a real top edit of Mayer Hawthorne's You Got The Makings Of A Lover by San Francisco trio Pillow Talk. A nice get-home-from-work Friday song. Real smooooth.

Mix: Sare Havlicek

Sare Havlicek has caught my attention recently for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I heard his remix of Pete Herbert & Golden Fleece's track Ivory Waves (see vid below) which features a sumptuous piano breakdown...

...and secondly for his "Disco Recreation" mixes. Plenty of discoy goodness and another helping of caterpillar piano at 10.50 as we turn the corner and bump straight into a new Sare original Sense Station, to be released in the next month. Enjoy!

Tracklist:
Elijah Collins & Nist - Love's Down
Moon Boots - Off My Mind
Sare Havlicek - Sense Station
Justin Winks vs Casio Social Club - Rock The Discotheque
Jonas Rathsman - Tobago
Volta Bureau - Alley Cat
Startraxx - Step Into My Life (Nu Disco Club Mix)
Housse De Racket - Roman (Oliver Remix)
Semi Functional - Starlabs Theme (Lou Teti Remix)
Kolombo - Daylight (feat Michael Parker)
F3 - Dis. Co (Ilya Santana abrasive mix)
Ultrasonic 7 - Like Thunder (Raoul Lambert Remix)
Proper Heat - Just A Little Bit
Casual Encounters & Honom - Robo Funk (Berlitz Remix)

There really isn't a better name for this track than "Sun In The Winter". Another great mix from Channel Swimmer. Love the speedy echoy vocal on this.

Also just found this little toe-tapper:

Track: Roads and Boats

Sounding good... Check out their bandcamp page - roadsandboats.bandcamp.com/

Video: Clubfeet

screen from video below.

Another great video (and song!) from Clubfeet. Check out their website for the full video project produced in collaboration with Alex Goddard.

"All my friends are kissing each other, they've got restless, mothers"

brilliant.

Track: Mirror People

Oh YES! New track from Portuguese producer Mirror People - Feel The Need - out on the Discotexas label. Rowetta (of Happy Mondays fame) nails the vocals. Remixes from Moullinex and Munk amongst others. Check it out!

Video: Zimmer

2011-11-08T17:42:00.001Z

Great new track from Zimmer on the Discotexas label - those guys just can't stop churning out gold. The track's called Looking At You and its sweet, slow and beautiful. Expertly shot on the streets of Paris by Quentin Chevrier and Fabrice Starzinskas (97seconds.com), the video follows the well-used theme of an incredibly attractive woman swanning around flirtatiously in an incredibly attractive place. To be honest the lack of originality doesn't bother me one bit!
