Random Halloween pt2


Halloween hiphop from 1999, off an album I enjoyed immensely when it was released; As the world burns.


Arsonists - Halloween [Matador, 1999] (d/l)

Random Halloween


So its Halloween once again the streets will be littered with kids in home made costumes and others armed to the teeth with eggs and flour.Whilst all this is going on i will be doing a ghost walk with the paranormal society. Then off for a cheeky pint or three! Should be good see what happens if anything!? Its getting to that stage that Halloween is becoming like Christmas! Mainly due to the fact that we followed the Americans which brings us where we are today.Basicly its just another gimmick a selling opportunity, call me morbid but its just the way it is. Anyway on with the tunes in typical RC style no cheese or commercial tunes for your Halloween. Have a good time whatever you do.

Violetta


Ricardo Villalobos - 'Violetta' - [N/A]

I know very little about this track apart from the fact that its by Ricardo Villalobos and its really good.Typical villalobos style quality drum track only this time he uses vocals & sublime vocals at the sort that send a shiver down your spine maybe Chilean? its a really nice little track. A few Dj's (Radio Slave) (Steve lawler) have charted this CDR recently so it might be coming out tbh i have no idea as i say i know very little about it.Its a really lovely track which you could quite easily end your set with.

Exzakt - Futureshock [Exceleration, 2007] (d/l)
Larry McCormick aka Exzakt treats us on a pulsating bass experience. Title track of the EP.

Latest EP from german little computer man of big robot sounds. Rother vibes written all over it of course.

Zig Zag

Yellow Sox - Zig Zag -(Roland Appel Remix) -[Freerange Records]

Big track alert! This was massive over the weekend.

Cool programmed drumming & Detroit synths start the track.It then slowly builds with plenty of style and charisma. In comes some misty air raid sirens as the track starts to progress.Man of the moment Roland Appel is behind this fantastic remix. The track just keeps giving, getting more and more deeper as it whooshes and whirs around your head. Its a real dance floor bomb! Expect everyone from Jeff Mills to Sven Vath to be dropping this little beauty in the coming months.

Guitar hero


Been listening to so much new music the last couple of days that my brain's gone all bonkers. Everything from straight up pop music to electronic post-rock, classic techno, jazzy experimentalism and indie hiphop. Deerhunter, Run_return, Lights out Asia, Dj Hell, Broken Social Scene, Tarentel, Stars, Atmosphere, Radiohead, Multiplex, Kettel, Vector lovers, Venetian snares, Last days, Jens Lekman, Kaman Leung, Justus Köncke, Landau, Exzakt, Dcast dynamics - they've all gotten plenty of play time. Quite varied genres these artists' music reside in. This post is all about the pop though. Perfect stuff for a rainy autumn sunday & monday.


Deerhunter - Hazel St. [Kranky, 2007] (d/l)
Dreamy, sad and awkward pop tracks are what Deerhunter presents on their Cryptograms' latter half. The first half of the album is more to the weird rock side of things, equally good. Hazel St and Heatherwood are my two favorites.

Stars - The night starts here [Arts & crafts, 2007] (d/l)
It's not easy delivering an album when expectations are sky high. The Stars manages it with finesse! Yes, it is basically more of the same as Set yourself on fire. Maybe. Not quite perhaps. It's more of the same but from another angle, um? Anyhow that's not something that matters much, In our bedroom after the war is a buffet of catchy pop songs, majestic orchestrated arrangements, fragile duets, violin+piano overload, aching melancholic lyrics and smashing guitar riffs. And as is often the case with Stars' albums, it is impossible to pick any one hit/stand out song. There's simply too many great tunes to choose from.

Jens, oh Jens. I haven't given this man enough credit. As a indie star from my own city I should've paid more attention to him. However the hype ruined it for me, I get like that sometimes. Refusing to give an artist a chance, just cause they're getting hyped up. This is from Lekman's second album "Nigh falls over Kortedala" (love the title).

Weekend GBG



Not much to brag about when it comes to artist bookings in Gothenburg this weekend. Friday: We got space disco maestro Ultracity playing at Styrbord Babord. DJ Dimitrios K and the iDealist spinning techno at Hatet@Uppåt. Saturday: Kraft with Tim Xavier live. Luke Eargoggle and Technicolor djs at Midnigh express. Idjut boys at Styrbord Babord. Could be worse, and can always be better.


So to get everyone in the mood for a hopefully awesome weekend. A pure BANGER, still 100% functioning ten years later. Huge.

Weekend


Very excited about this weekend as Leeds is seeing the debut of Petre inspirescu (Cadenza) & Rhadoo(A:rpia:r)This will be great, also one half of the house duo Peace Division & DC10 Resident (Clive Henry) will be present bringing the summer Circo Loco vibes filtering through onto the dance floor expect a full on party as lots of people are celebrating the last party of the summer a sort of reunion. If that wasn't enough upstairs Toby Tobias(Rekids) will be keeping the decks warm with his deep and trippy house music.Have a good weekend whatever you all do heres a little taster of what I'm in for on sat night. I cant wait.

No Words


M.Craft -Dragonfly.

It Doesn't Matter (part 6)


100+ votes and counting, there's still a lot of time until the poll closes so be sure to make your voice heard. As it looks now I'm probably not going to change my music posting direction radically, even though there seems to be a lot of demand for minimal techno from you. I think we got it covered decently.
Thanks for voting, everybody!


Funckarma meets Landau! What an interesting match-up. I recently got to hear Landau's second full length "Janus Plays Telephone" which was a big leap away from their debut sound (Thepicompromise) that I liked so much. Janus Plays.. is jazzier, less electronic and skillfully executed, yet I haven't fallen for it so far. Funckarma, the Funcken brothers, are still heavily tangled up in the protons and neutrons though. Together their sound meshes into a strange but pleasant story. Haunting melodies with dense percussion programming. I have been catching up on the n5MD imprint lately, and they got an awesome catalogue.

Multiplex - Momensch [Human shield, 2006] (d/l)
Electro tinged flava courtesy of the Multiplex duo (Christian Dormon, Roland Dormon). A limited supply of this release, only 538 copies. So if you can't get a hold of it - here's the title track as a little treat. The EP consists of five wonderful pieces, all in the electro meets idm style. Android upbeat cuts.

bloodstream



Simplicity is the key here.

Nice track and an even better remix basically Mr Schwarz just makes the track more DJ friendly you could easily finish your set with it. A sweet piano leads the way, income sublime vocals a little percussion here and there a few symbol led drum parts and there you have it a thing of beauty.

Ubu - Pixels (Guy Gerber's late check out remix) - [N/A]
Remixing a classic track is a difficult job. When done well it can be a great achievement, as this latest remix shows. Its by Guy Gerber he has put his hand to a well known track i wouldn't go so far to say it has classic status but its definitely had alot of coverage over the years. He's done the business on pixels by Ubu he turns out a monster of a remix it chugs along nicely taking in elements of progressive & deep house whilst adding his own special touch. It has flair and originality taking in references from Detroit and theirs also a certain minimal Esq vibe to it hidden away beneath all the snaky synths and prominent percussion its a really excellent remix im not sure when it will be out but i reckon its soon as its been getting big plays right across the board. Not one to let slip through the net!
