Den Haan - Heist

noreply@blogger.com (Andy) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:33:30 PST

The mighty Den Haan are BAAAACK!!!

After two of our favourite singles from the last year or so (Release the beast and Night shift) they're back and operating on their own label - The Courier of Death.

Anyway, this is what they say...

Greed! Violence! Double-dealing! Vengeance! These are the themes of this action-packed single.

The 12” features “Heist”, which puts you behind the wheel in an explosive hi-NRG car chase, persued by Moroderesque swooping arpeggiators and ‘punch your fist in the air’ Glam Rock Guitars. “Russian Boat Commander”, on the other hand, is a progressive Cossack disco stomper that takes you on an epic voyage of symphonic eastern melodies and dangerous Gothic undertones.

Sheer Glasgow balls-out quality.

Den Haan - Heist

12" hitting the shops soon...

Andy Blake - This Aint No Disco (Music for a World Unknown Vol. 1)

noreply@blogger.com (Andy) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 05:37:05 PDT

Sterling new mix from Dissident's Andy Blake to support his new night with Joe Hart 'World Unknown', starting in a secret location in Brixton on Nov. 6th.

Here's Andy's handy guide to the music they'll be playing:

Belgian New Beat: a far wider selection of musical styles than most usually take it to mean. Often takes the form of industrial and European synth pop slowed down to 33rpm to accentuate the groove and low frequencies

Cold Wave: vaguely scary European synth pop and experimental instrumental stuff. Imagine Depeche Mode records sung in Polish by bands you've never heard of, and you're getting there.

Synth-Pop: imagine Depeche Mode records sung by Depeche Mode, and Blancmange and countless others including Simple Minds before they were shit.

Italo: electronic disco from Italy, often with out of tune vocals in badly sung English

Jacking Acid House: nuff said - surely?

Techno: kids from Detroit trying to make Ultravox b-sides.

Electro: quite like techno but instead of going bmm, tsch, bmm, tsch it goes bmm, tsch, bmm, bmm, tsch
