Pretty Harrowing
Just a quick post to show i'm still alive!
First up the return of Serge Santiago's Arcobaleno label.... the unlikely star of a double page feature in last weekend's Observer Woman magazine!
So the A-side of this is a new track by Kenny Hawkes and David Parr... which is no 2 minute punk song itself. But on the flip Serge Santiago stretches it out into one of his trademark disco odysseys. It has something of the Carl Craig about it, with complex drum patterns, rumblings of bass threatening on the horizon, and finally some killer chords are briefly relased into the mix.
KENNY HAWKES & DAVID PARR - THE BOOBY TRAP (SERGE SANTIAGO MIX)
Did I mention Carl Craig? Look, i'll stop writing about him when he stops being such a genius. His latest killer remix is of Tony Allen's afrobeat jam 'Kilode'.
It's quite reminiscent of Cesaria Evora (Angola)... half the track featuring some funky drumming & African chanting, before unleashing a phat bassline halfway through. The bassline has the effortless simplicity of some classic early house music and should get them dancing in the aisles.
TONY ALLEN - KILODE (CARL CRAIG REMIX)
So I hope i'm not a slave to fashions, but as you can probably tell I really am loving the dark disco right now. Exhibit B is from a new single on Prestel Records by the Cobra Dukes. The single contains an Optimo mix, which is what drew my attention, but my groove is being got on by this pretty simple sounding 'Aeroplane Dub' mix.
COBRA DUKES - AIRTIGHT (AEROPLANE DUB)
Finally if you're drifting into disco dreamland, here's something a bit noisier - a remix of The Whip's 'Trash' by Cassette Jam...resident Djs at Ibiza Rocks
You'll find this on Southern Fried records sometime in 2008. It's appealingly filthy sounding. If you like that kinda thing.
THE WHIP - TRASH (CASSETTE JAM REMIX)
