Letsget

I’m diggin’ this funky ‘old school/basement’ House music style, it takes me back to ‘1994’ ex: Mike Delgado – Latino Way”. The track “letsget” (chrissys thirsty edit) was beautifully shaped by Daytime Television (Jon M. Lockhart) and Christian Jay Sienkiewicz (Coyote Clean Up). Posted yesterday at Coca-Africola soundcloud. One word, PARTY!

Perispirit - Spiritual Church Movement (Digitalis)

Perispirit - Spiritual Churck Movement (Digitalis) Comentários: Perispirit is the collaborative project of Ricardo Donoso and Luke Moldof, here delivering their debut album proper after a number of cassette editions for Prurient's Hospital Productions and Ricardo's own Semata imprint. The sound they make is brilliantly impossible to categorise, bringing together analogue and digital electronic sound sources to create a freakish organism that reminds you of anything from Keith Fullerton Whitman to Prurient to Autechre to purist musique concrète without batting an eyelid - split into two extended, musically expansive pieces. The recording process finds Moldof's analogue source material dissolved by Ricardo's digital sorcery and transmuted into fleetingly fractal, yet matrix-like productions where digital demons appear half-formed in a cacophonous miasmah of symphonic swells and deflected FM signals. They summon the ghosts of a world tormented, phased and riddled with electromagnetic radiation and endless data-ritus; a pair of dark interpreters operating on the liminal peripheries and communing between dimensions. In their attempts to consolidate the two opposing realms information is mauled and disfigured in translation, as heard in the sprawl of crumbling numbers and decimated textures on. Imagine the coarse grained analog apparitions of Giuseppe Ielasi's Bellows project re-mapped by a malfunctioning Autechre patch and the unexpected results just about conjure up the spirit of the sounds on offer. On the B-side 'Attn: Deficit Disorder', their concentration becomes eroded by myriad info-streams - a lone melody provides the one steady, sustained element amidst a stream of flickering arrangements, flashing between mindwarping noise and disintegrating synth shapes, goading the imagination to hear and see sound images which may, or may not, be there. in boomkat

Dean Blunt feat. Inga Copeland: “Choice of a New Generation”

Dean Blunt

We’ve had Dean Blunt, Inga Copeland, Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland, and now Dean Blunt featuring Inga Copeland: whatever. It still has “Hype Williams” written all over it. Not sure (as usual) if “Choice of a New Generation” is the correct title (a simple “Track 2″ has also been suggested), but that’s how it was tagged on YouTube. In any case, it’s gonna appear on Blunt’s forthcoming solo effort The Narcissist II. Exceptionally gentle and smooth and almost not twisted in any way at all, we totally dig this one. via no fear in pop

Fatima Al Qadiri - How Can I Resist U

How Can I Resist U

«Fatima Al Qadiri's 'How Can I Resist U' is a love letter to London in general and Dubstep (before it wobbled) in particular. "Lenden" as it's known has become a historic site of pilgrimage for wealthy Arabs seeking the forbidden fruits of sex, drugs and alcohol. Interspersed with Youtube footage of Ma'alaya dances specific to Gulf countries like UAE and Oman--the super cars, dancing girls and brutalist council estates in the video are part of the down-and-dirty dream that a trip to London signifies for Khaleejis (Gulf Arabs). The color of the video is based on an infamous Arab royal's custom 'Gulf Blue' Koenigsegg CCXR that terrorized the streets of the city's posh neighborhoods. Video by Sophia Al-Maria.»

«Description: Was recorded during the "Toeachizown" sessions between 2008-2009. Pulled from the record, because it didn't quite fit the 'storyline'. *There's many more compositions, which didn't make the album in the vaults. Maybe they'll see the light of day sometime in the future, within the development & the coming retrospecting of this particular 'Modern-Funk' era..& then, into it's continuing further progression.

PIMMON

Cover Art by Sophie Hutchings

Pimmon (Paul Gough) is known as «the prolific godfather of Australian electronics». His latest work 'The Oansome Orbit' released on Nov.11 at Room40 : « We can hear parallels in this rhetoric and aesthetic with everyone from Fennesz to Leyland Kirby».

About the mix: The mix features quite a few Australian artists that I love as well as tracks I've been listening to a lot in the last year. It has a nostalgic bent - with artists like Severed Heads & Lithops - Ellard & St.Werner being 2 electronic giants in my opinion.I'm also very fond of loopy/cut-up stuff along the lines of Monster Rally, Stock, Hausen & Walkman - more recently the magic of Australian artist Thomas William.

I will have new releases / first is a collab release with Fabio Orsi released on Home Normal called 'Procrastination'. April release. I'm preparing to return to Europe in March - playing shows in the UK, France, Germany, Norway, Belgium and Italy. There will be a UK & Europe tour CD release as well. Then pimmon full length towards end of the year." Regards, Paul.

Morreu António Cunha, pioneiro da música de dança em Portugal

R.I.P. António Cunha

"A true pioneer of the portuguese Rave movement and founder of a label that became our biggest and most formative influence during the 90's: Kaos Records".

O fundador da Kaos Records, António Cunha, morreu neste sábado, 14 de Janeiro, em Lisboa. O DJ, figura tutelar da música de dança portuguesa, à qual deu os primeiros impulsos no início dos anos 1990, não resistiu a um cancro. Tinha 49 anos.

http://www.discogs.com/DJ-Vibe-Kaos-Totally-Mix/release/114850

“Perde-se um pioneiro, fundador da primeira editora da música de dança em Portugal”, lamenta Miguel Marangas, que trabalhou durante três anos com António Cunha na Kaos. “Fiquei chocado”, diz o proprietário da Mellow Management, ao PÚBLICO. Há cerca de duas décadas, António Cunha “deu início a um movimento”, em Coimbra, quando lançou a Kaos Records. Com ela abria-se também “a primeira janela de oportunidade para uma série de produtores serem editados”, frisa Marangas. DJ Vibe, parte da dupla Underground Sound of Lisbon (com Doctor J), foi um deles. Cunha e Vibe chegaram a ser sócios na Kaos, logo no início: promotor e DJ unidos sob a mesma chancela, à imagem do que acontecia em países como o Reino Unido. A ideia foi de António Cunha, quando ninguém o estava a fazer em Portugal. Vibe, ainda que relutante, aceitou o convite e a história pôs-se em marcha.“Era uma pessoa que gostava de fazer as coisas em primeira mão, gostava de arriscar”, afirma DJ Vibe, ao PÚBLICO. “Um pioneiro”, acrescenta, “como amante da música, como pessoa”. “Foi importante na minha vida profissional – e não só por termos sido sócios na Kaos, onde lançou imensos produtores nacionais e [através da qual] teve influência na indústria discográfica. Foi a primeira pessoa que se lembrou de contratar um DJ para trabalhar numa discoteca em que não era residente.”

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Totally-Kaos-2-The-Sound-Of-Portugal/release/114848

A importância de António Cunha estende-se ainda à “cena de clubbing”. Portugal recebeu pela primeira vez, nas festas organizadas por António Cunha, nomes como Jeff Mills, Herbert, Masters At Work ou DJ Harvey. Já no clube Rocks, no Porto, em 1995, promoveu a estreia em solo nacional dos Underworld. O Rocks foi, aliás, um espaço paradigmático da noite dos anos 1990. O responsável? António Cunha. DJ Vibe: “Toda a gente passava por lá, não só do norte, mas de Lisboa também. Marcou a noite e muitos DJ nacionais”. Nesse processo, António Cunha acabou por impulsionar “intercâmbios entre DJ portugueses e internacionais”, lembra Miguel Marangas. O que conduziu à internacionalização da produção nacional. Depois de assumir o seu papel central na música de dança portuguesa dentro de portas, a Kaos Records fê-lo também fora. O trabalho de António Cunha – que começou como DJ em Coimbra, no States, ainda nos anos 1980 – é muito elogiado por Miguel Marangas, que lhe gaba a persistência de manter a Kaos Records activa, quase 20 anos depois de com ela ter arrancado, em 1992. “Falámos há pouco. Tinha projectos na calha.” via Jornal O Público

Pictureplane - Dimensional Rip 7: Thee Physical Remixes

"Pictureplane's "Thee Physical" was a conceptual work about how we, as humans, relate to our 3rd dimensional world by experiencing it physically through touch. and our experience of being human inside of physical bodies in a post-physical digital age. this collection of remixes is a continuation of these concepts, each remixer being hand selected by Pictureplane to work with the digital skeletons of each song, to carry out their own visions of what Thee Physical meant to them, and their physical forms. This remix double album, is the 7th Dimensional Rip. which is an ongoing conceptual art work by Travis Egedy (Pictureplane). Each Dimensional Rip is meant to be just that: a rip or tear within space and time. a way of putting something out into the universe that helps to alter perception and the very world that it exists in. past Dimensional Rips have been anything from group art exhibitions, a zine, a mix of slowed down happy hardcore, or a performance artwork inside of an art museum. the 7th Dimensional Rip is no different."

Nova Scotian Arms - Cult Spectrum

Nova Scotian Arms - Cult Spectrum (Digitalis) Comentários: Since 2009 Grant Evans has been peering ever deeper into the kosmische abyss with his records as Nova Scotian Arms for Aguirre, Preservation and Hooker Vision. He's also known for the lush Quiet Evenings releases with his wife, Rachel Evans (Motion Sickness Of Time Travel), but in solo flight his sound is more wide-eyed, exploratory, reaching heady new climes on 'Cult Spectrum', arguably his most vivid vision yet. Perhaps it's thanks to an exquisite mastering job by Lawrence English, but there's a tangible elevation and expansion of his sound here, offering panoramic views of intergalactic proportions while still remaining true to a fairly stripped down and modest aesthetic. It's a melancholy sound, composed with considerable grace and tact. To open, 'Gathering/Composition' renders this dichotomy with the tension between stereo-swirling, dissonant cosmic synth swells and vast, yawning bass subduction, before the shimmering harmonics of 'Overcast (1st Delay)' are lapped by crashing waves of tempered synth noise which spray off into infinite space. And that sense of space is no more lucid than ever on 'Emulsion', an epic 16 minute zone of gaseous synth hues mingled with distanced shoegaze strums and banking dissonance seemingly scythed and shaped by some spectral hand. via boomkat

HOLY STRAYS (NOT NOT FUN/FR) + CANKUN (NOT NOT FUN/FR) + MANUEL CARVALHO (BCN): January 11, BARCELONA

Holy Strays and Cankun, alongside with Manuel Carvalho, will be presenting their latest material in Miscelanea on the 11th of January. It will be a night full of electronica, beats, and psychedelia, don't miss it!

Three high quality acts for 6 euro, members of Miscelanea pay 5 euro, check out the videos to see if you like it! + info

HOLY STRAYS (NOT NOT FUN/ FR)

Holy Strays is the recently adopted nom de plume of a young Paris-based producer, who delivers equally massive and intimate beats. His sub bass grooves and frenetic rhythms usually melt with atmospheric patterns, with a sound sometimes aluding to nu-jazz, R&B or even jungle. In a year or so HS remixed Forest Swords and shared the stage with Sun Araw, Prince Rama, Terror Bird, Ela Orleans, High Wolf, Cankun and Cough.

Hartzine Session - Holy Strays "Faint Beams Ceremony" from Hartzine on Vimeo.

CANKUN (NOT NOT FUN/ FR)

French haze aesthete Vincent Caylet has been active on the marginal music frontlines in various capacities for several years at this point but Cankun is a even brighter-lit hideaway of mirages to pass out in. Chiming guitars balance-beam above looping heatwaved keyboards. Escapist, joyous, and psychedelically sunburned in equal measure.

MANUEL CARVALHO (BCN)

Manuel Carvalho makes synthetic psychedelia with noise and drone parts. His music consists of electronic elements that incorporate figures and oriental considerations, a maximalist micro-cosmos crowded by samples of persian rock, space ships, water aliens and synth solos of breeze-waving hair and with face forward to the sky. He will present his recently released EP "Manta" together with new and unedited material.

Manuel Carvalho - M.U. Podcast 33# (December 2011) by Mundo Urbano on Mixcloud

Manuel Carvalho is a portuguese musician (plus Graphic Designer) based in Barcelona. I've only knew about Manuel's music through a concert of Jeffre Cantu-Ledesma in Lisbon (September, 2011 at ZDB ), where he made the first part and debuted his first EP release 'Manta' (cdr, 50 Copies only) . Manuel is a talented hypnagogic-dronescaper, his music is similar to Rene Hell, Oneohtrix Point Never and The Fun Years.

About the mix: Here I tried to express what’s on my guts, there are pioneers, there are boring crackheads, there are pseudo intellectual revivalisms, there are people who stick to send «massive» beats, there is national pride, there are subjects that were formerly use only to fill up a void, there is also some groove, drone, love songs and a couple of my personal themes. Manuel Carvalho

Sobre o mix : Como moço criado no século XXI, nunca tinha utilizado esse artilúgio de adolescente enfatuado, não por falta de amores mas por obsolescência do meio e provavelmente para evitar a alienação resultante. Seria portanto, lógico dedicar a minha primeira mixtape a um blog e não a alguma adolescente de camisola de gola alta e calças à boca-de-sino (quando foi o primeiro revival).

Aqui tentei mais ou menos expor as minhas entranhas, há pioneiros, há crackheads aborrecidos, há intelectualoides revivalistas, há gente que se cinge a mandar gandas beats,há orgulhos nacionais, há temas que originalmente só serviam para encher chouriços… há groove, há drone e há canções de amor e há ainda um par de temas meus.

Patrice & Friends - Cashmere Sheets

Patrice & Friends - Cashmere Sheets (Sulk Records) Comentários: Patrice & Friends is an alter ego for the indomitable Slackk and his undisclosed pals flexing their Footwork hyper-soul. 'Cashmere Sheets' comprises 22 tracks - the original 15 plus a bonus 7-track EP "Cashmere Offcuts" - and signifies the UK's most fun contribution to the ongoing dialogue between the Bass scene and Chicago. Unlike, say Addison Groove or Kuedo's takes on Footwork, the ruff-cut boogie sampling and flighty aesthetic of Patrice & Friends has much more in common with the OG Southside crews, mirroring their energy and flow with a hair-kissing sense of funk that can't be faked. The source material is handled in a way that's achingly well appointed, re-contextualising coked-up '80s funk and R'n'B along futurist vectors unfortunately avoided by so many who're content to rehash the same, "sophisticated" memes sans the energy or real-deal soul. There's a classic double refraction of ideas criss-crossing the Atlantic at the moment, from DJ Manny & J-Cush sampling Wiley to the likes of Patrice & Friends spinning off Footwork, and no doubt, we simply can't get enough. A massive recommendation! Buy it via boomkat or Download it for free.

Tim Hecker - Dropped Pianos

TIM HECKER - Dropped Pianos (Kranky) Comentários: A companion to his acclaimed Ravedeath 1972 set, Dropped Pianos collects sketches for that album recorded by Tim Hecker last year. While on paper it might sound like something for completists only, trust us when we tell you that this LP is a beguiling listen in its own right: shorn of the disruptive electronic processing which defined Ravedeath, what you get instead is a series of exquisitely reverbed and layered piano instrumentals which showcase Hecker's gift for minimalist composition and mournful melody. Richly evocative of rainy, post-war cityscapes, of mortality and of thwarted romance, it's another masterful offering from an artist right at the top of his game.
