From Russia With Love…
AN-2 – Diva (September Version) (MP3)
AN-2 – Wings (Fatal Version) (MP3)
Musically, not too many good things come from our Eastern friends. Mr Andrei Zakharov however, would seem to be an exception. Over the past 4 years or so, he has (from his base in St Petersburg) set up his own record label, called Theomatic, and [...]
Back To My Roots…
Mandy Smith – Mandy’s Theme (I Just Can’t Wait) (Cool & Breezy Jazz Version) (MP3)
Odyssey – Going Back To My Roots (MP3)
Manchester beckons, and what better way to celebrate my return to the motherland than with a couple of classic tracks that illustrate my giddy school girl behaviour today…
First up is Bill Wyman’s somewhat controversial [...]
From Heart To Hate And Back Again
Letroset – Arcade Hater (MP3)
More house music, this time from Letroset’s Herz Aus Glas EP released in January on Glasgow’s Point. One label. Less fey indie-disco camp and more staccato synth stab techno than my last post, but just as good for getting your groove on to (or however you like to put it).
Don’t hate: [...]
And Not Just Because I Heart Erlend Øye
Whitest Boy Alive – Golden Cage (Fred Falke Remix) (MP3)
Ohmygodohmygodohmygod… this is sooooooo good!
Rubicon co-making Frenchman Fred Falke remixes one of the best bits from the yet another can-this-man-do-no-wrong Erlend Øye project that is Whitest Boy Alive and IT’S EVEN BETTER THAN IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS (I’m not sure that even putting it in capitals [...]
Sing Me A Lullaby…
Al Usher – Lullaby For Robert (MP3)
A quick one today before i shoot off into the confines of ‘Little England’ for 5/6 days; which along with it comes the prospect of zero internet connection…
Last year Al Usher released an EP on the Misericord label which is ace (go buy it). He also released a 12″ [...]
Nocturnal jam…
be – nocturnal jam (mp3)
experimenting with recording techniques, sampling, direction and writing, be works with music as a dj and artist to express a universal message that can be felt by anyone who listens. it would seem that nocturnal jam is that message. having been likened to the likes of theo parrish and 3 chairs, [...]
Let me see those fingers…
shur-i-kan – searching (fingers remix)(mp3)
i just had my i-pod on shuffle and this little track pricked my ears up. released in 2004 on jimpsters freerange records label, this 12″ beholds a wonderful deep house remix from the main man, mr larry heard – and believe you me, he does not disappoint…
It’s oh so equitorial…
dubtribe sound system – equitoreal (mp3)
after settling into my new found home i thought it was about time i got the sri lankan (cricket) ball rolling. so, with no records to hand, i have had to delve into my recordings i made prior to my move to sunnier climes…
considering my re-positioning has brought me [...]
Sentrall to my beliefs…
jonas bering – mustang 1966 (pch rmx) (mp3)
specialising in dreamy soundscapes and minimal dance tracks, the los angeles based sentrall records have been busy releasing some serious modern day 21st century, californian soul music…
starting back in 2001 and with only a few releases to date (eight to be exact), the hit rate for these [...]
You make me feel so alive…
the micronauts – the jag (mp3)
on inspection of the fantastic cosmic disco website, i came across a fairly recent interview with mr monier of the micronauts. (actually, thinking about it, maybe ‘the micronaut’ is a little more apt, especially since george issakidis departed back in 2000. anyway, that’s a mere technicality, and no one [...]
