japanese synchro system - a day in the life (mp3)
more music, and less chitter chatter today…
this is an absolute monster of a record from the japanese synchro system. ‘a day in the life’ gently ebbs and flows for a mighty 12 minutes plus, fusing together jazz, tech and deep house influences along the way. this […]
Jesus on the payroll…
thrashing doves - jesus on the payroll - street version (mp3)
with the festive season upon us, what better way to celebrate the birth of jesus than to post a track which has a very tenuous link to the great man himself…
jesus on the payroll, the street groove version, is a piano led classic which was […]
From another land (ode to nyc part 2) …
odyssey - native new yorker (mp3)
dwight trash - i love new york (mp3)
two more new york records, both with a serious disco edge. as you’ll probably be well aware, disco was born on the streets of manhattan, and proliferated clubs all over the globe throughout the 70s and launching thousands of records, and […]
Ich mag ihr arbeit ms hagen…
nina hagen band - african reggae (mp3)
due to a severe lack of brain activity, im going to be keeping this post short and sweet. so in a complete contrast to kev’s thesis on nyc, here goes…
the nina hagen band were formed by the woman herself, catherina hagen, back in 1977 and were renowned for their […]
From another land (ode to nyc part 1) …
beastie boys - an open letter to nyc (rub ‘n tug remix) (mp3)
startship orchestra - new york new york (mp3)
new york city. nyc. the big apple. the city that never sleeps. the capital of the world.
america’s largest city goes under many names, meaning many things to many people. on the streets of manhattan there’s […]
Black moon…
force of nature - blackmoon (long version) (mp3)
following on from kev’s manuel gă¶ttsching post, i thought i’d instill a bit of continuity in these here posts, and put up a track that is without a shadow of a doubt inspired by mr gă¶ttsching…
blackmoon is from the recent ep on mule musiq records and comes from […]
Claussell and high water
manuel gă¶ttsching - ain’t no time (sacred rhythm remix) (mp3)
grand high priest - mary st. mary (sacred rhythm remix) (mp3)
tying a few recent post themes together with a double header from new york stalwart joe claussell. starting with a quite rare (and pretty expensive) track from krautrock icon manuel gă¶ttsching, remixed under joe’s legendary sacred […]
From the motherland (part 2)…
sub sub - space face (mp3)
happy mondays - bobs yer uncle (mp3)
another two tracks from the manchester vaults…

From the motherland (part 1)…
the fall - totally wired (mp3)
a certain ratio - shack up (mp3)
a lazy post from me today, albeit very worthwhile…
feeling mancunian and proud, i have decided to pick two influential tracks from the motherland, manchester…the fall and acr shouldn’t really need any introduction. both bands are often cited by modern artists for their early influence […]
Kraut of the ordinary
das etwas - deutscherwerkbund (mp3)
it’s undeniable the influence that a few german bands of the 1960s had on the current dance scene. the so-hot-right-now cosmic disco sounds owe heavily to the ground-breaking work of ash-ra temple and manuel gă¶ttsching, the motorik sounds of neu! are being respectfully refreshed by fujiya and miyagi, and there is […]
