Also sounding like single material is this second track, Carlights. If a picture paints a thousand word a video probably paints, like a thousand and twenty or something. So I will let it do the talking:
As well as highlighting the difficulty of singing in a recording studio without looking like Bono, both videos are well worth watching if only to catch a glimpse of the legendary MACHINE in action
It seems they are playing at xxjfg's weekly hoe-down 'The Do' this Friday night. So if you're in or near Brighton you should pay a visit...
As a couple of bonus track here's the amazingly fruity Peaches remix of 'Peaches':
Co-incidentally I got this email today, so if you enjoyed the Alexander Robotnick mix & are looking to go out on Friday night....
Lost is one of London's best kept secrets, but i've not yet been out to its Friday night incarnation. The monthly parties are incredible, and are generally the only place you'll find Jeff Mills in London (he played last weekend for instance). Sign up at the website for details, as you won't find any info about it otherwise...
Alexander Robotnick's Problems D'Amour has gone from 80s cult worship to Italo Disco heaven and back and is now rightly hailed as one of the key tracks to spark electronic dance music into what we have today. Now twenty years later the track sounds as fresh as the day it was made. Acidic basslines,simple yet catchy synth lines and funky.pre-house rhythms all add up to Maurizio Dami's Robotnick blueprint.
While Robotnick has gone on to make many albums from electronic to world and pop he is still highly revered as one of the key instigators of the 80s dancefloor revival.
At SPACEBASE you will experience alternative sets from Steve and his guests featuring a multi-dimensional set from Robotnick that fuses laptop,midi keyboard and microphone plus selective material from back in the day in an intimate surrounding!

No MP3s from me today, but I got links to two tracks i'm really in love with right now...
First up is the new single by The Feeling, which if you live in this country you'll be well familiar with by now - it's apparently second only to Gnarls Barkley in radio play.
I really really want to hate The Feeling. They look so smug for a start, and I think the singer is mates with those annoying publicity whores Kate Moss, Jude Law & Sadie Frost. (I still have no idea what Sadie Frost is supposed to have done to justify the extraordinary coverage of her tedious exploits). I also think the guitarist is married to Sophie Ellis-Bextor. They've obviously been created to cash in on the whole 'Guilty Pleasures' phenomenon, and have clearly had MUCH record company dollar behind their imminently world conquering sound. Plus the singer sounds like the singer from The Kooks - and both bands strangely emerged from the same 'school of performing arts' in Croydon. (Which has also been responsible for Katie Melua & Athlete. Gah!!!)
But... I just can't stop listening to 'Fill My Little World'. Is that wrong? I feel a little ashamed. It's a Guilty Pleasure itself I suppose.
It makes me feel like i'm driving round Monaco in one of these
Rather than cruising round the industrial wasteland of the Thames Valley in a battered Ford Mondeo.
You can download it, plus previous top-10 single 'Sewn' from here.
The second track (in an attempt to restore my cool credentials) is the Simian Mobile Disco track from the new Kitsune compilation. It's one of those anthemic electro numbers that's gonna be played (alongside 'Rocker', 'Washing Up', 'NY Excuse' and 'Geht's Noch') by every DJ under the sun. And you will love it every time. Electro glitches, a massive bass-fuelled breakdown and a voice imploring you to 'push it, push it, push it'. It all adds up to a classic. I fuckin' love it. Jack yr body!
You may remember about a month ago I went on the Camden Crawl. Well, mind you I can barely remember myself so I don't see why anyone else should... but anyway with your wristband they give out a double CD of all the acts on the 'crawl', and i've been meaning to post some tracks from it.
To be honest the quality of the CDs aren't nearly up to last year's, but there were three (out of 44!) that really stood out for me.
This first track... well, just listen and as soon as the singing begins you will think, as I did, "Good grief, it's the Beta Band". Well it turns out that's because it is, kind of. Since Robin Jones and John MacLean from the Beta Band are now both in The Aliens. (The other guy, Steve Mason, is now calling himself 'King Biscuit Time' - which reminds me I must check them out.)
This track, from the band's debut EP 'Alienoid Starmonica', really reminds me of Pink Floyd as well. Something to do with the appropriately spacey feel, and harmonised vocals. Let's face it, it just sounds like a really great Beta Band track.
Next up is Plan B, with an acoustic version of one of his best tracks. Can't remember hearing many rappers spitting it out over an acoustic guitar before, and this really works. Plan B's definitely got the flow & the delivery.... and like Mike Skinner he's actually got things to say. You'll want to give this a few listens to pick out all the lyrics. Reckon they're worth listening to.
Also if you've not seen last year's AMAZING stop-motion video for Plan B's 'No Good' then you should:
I didn't see Plan B on the crawl, but I did manage to catch Sway, who was highly impressive. And also hilarious. I would post up his track from the CD but he's for some reason bolted on a pointless and annoying skit about Usher at the end. Here's some photos instead:
This last track is by Absentee, who i've noticed starting to get some attention over the last couple of weeks. It's a great slightly country-tinged song with a verse highly reminiscent of Pavement's 'Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain' album, and a chorus that has a bit of the Magic Numbers about it.
So I managed to survive a Tuesday night in Dalston with nothing worse than a bit of long-term ear damage and a punishing bout of tiredness.
Thanks for anyone who came along. Turned out to be a cracking night in the end, depite the ambitiously enormous venue!
The flash is busted on my camera, so I have no photographic evidence. I can tell you however that DJ Gorky was a bloody nice bloke & played some slammin' tunes whilst also managing to master the dodgy CD decks. You gotta love the baile funk. If only I knew the names of some of those records.....
Laptop wizard Casper did a great job on the organisation and the warm up set. Thanks for the Hot Chip! (And thanks to Hianta for the chicken!)
I lived up to my reputation of top tunes, mediocre mixing.
(What I played: Fujiya & Miyagi - Collarbone; Shit Robot - Triumph; Tomboy - Samba; Bushy - Drop; LFO - LFO; Hot Chip - Boy From School (Erol Alkan Mix); Betty Botox - Music is Music; Justice - Let There Be Light; Test Icicles - What's Your Damage (Alan Braxe Mix); Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah; David Gilmour Girls - HMMM; Delia & Gavin - Relevee (Carl Craig Mix); Franz Ferdinand - I'm Your Villain (Lindstrom Mix); Theo Parrish - Falling Up (Carl Craig Mix); Hollertronix - Stay Fly)
I quite enjoyed dropping a bit of Hard Rock Hallelujah in the middle there.... sounded good played nice & loud. Casper commented on myspace that he thought it was a MSTRKRFT remix!
Finally Skull Juice were fuckin' awesome. It took me about 45 minutes to leave as I kept having to return to the fray for ONE MORE TUNE! disco pogo electro magic. These boys are hot. Book 'em for your party. You will be the opposite of sorry. Aroused. Or something.
But enough about that. This was an mp3 blog once, and there don't seem to have been too many recently. I'll hit you with a couple of tracks I played last night that you won't have heard here. Probably the only two in fact!
I have been LOVING the Fujiya & Miyagi album since picking it up a couple of weeks ago, and the first two tracks in particular have been on repeat ever since.
They've got an obvious Krautrock influence (bloke in Rough Trade while spitting doritos all over the floor "yeah mate, you may as well buy yourself a Can album instead. Exactly the same shit innit.") but I think there's a bit more to 'em than mere copyists. Granted Can are a gaping hole in my musical knowledge, but although track 1 (the FANTASTIC 'Ankle Injuries') does indeed sound how I imagine Can sound, by the time you reach 'Collarbone' (track 2) most of the droning synths have been done away with and you're left with some goddam funky-assed pop music.
Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes.
Listen, the coolkids have already been all over this lot & it's one of my albums of the year so far. Check it out for you will not be disappointed. It's called 'Transparent Things' by the way.
Other great songs: 'Transparent Things'; 'In One Ear & Out The Other'; 'Cylinders'.
So this next song has been stuck on my turntable ever since I bought it. Words can't express how fantastic it is. However since I seem to be proprietor of an mp3 blog I'm gonna have to try.
Betty Botox is the pseudonym of one half of a Scottish duo who likes to sneak out mixable re-edits of his favourite tracks in a limited and low-key fashion. I think he would rather remain anonymous however I think Betty's identity is pretty widely known by now. Shit, reading that I sound like I'm presenting 'Stars in Their Eyes'.
Anyhoo. This track is from Betty's second album, 'G4 Faggot'. If you could think of one way of improving Sister Sledge's 'Lost in Music' what would it be? Well there is no answer to that. It can't be improved upon. But hang on one moment.... what if we stretch out the intro & stick the sample from the beginning of Primal Scream's 'Come Together' over the top. Well fuck me sideways, that sounds great! Press the fucker up!
Skull Juice played the brilliant 'I'm An Indian Three' from the album last night - which I imagine is a version of this - and i'm also enjoying 'Xantac' a lot. Check it out if you can.
Just a reminder about tomorrow night's hoedown in Dalston...
If you've not listened to it yet, you must download DJ Gorky's mix from this site. It's absolutely awesome, and rocked the post Eurovision celebrations on Saturday night!
Lordi are surely destined for #1 in the next few weeks?
As I mentioned last week, Moshi Moshi Records have been one of the best indie labels in the UK over the last couple of years. And I should have mentioned their latest label compilation 'Can You Hear Me Now' a while ago, as it came out back in February. It's one of the best albums of the year, full stop. And only costs £4.99. Bonanza!
As well as highlighting some of the bands that Moshi Moshi have brought to our attention - from those that should be massive and are (Bloc Party and Hot Chip) to those that should be massive but aren't (Architecture in Helsinki and New Rhodes); you get a chance to sample some of the lesser known names on the label.
As usual, myspace is the place to go if you want to hear more.
This track by LA's Foreign Born is a real corker - a soaring, pounding anthem that sounds designed to be played as the last song on the Sunday night at Glastonbury. In a fight with Snow Patrol, the blood of the smug chart-toppers would end up cascading through the streets of Belfast. Streets lined with a cheering mob waving their lighters in the air, chanting "We Had Pleasure".
Basically every song on this album is a classic. You've also got the Broadcast-style chanteusing of 'Au Revoire Simone'; the Lo-Fi Funk of, er, Lo-Fi Fnk; the Libertines spin-off band Yeti; Tap Rock sensations Tilly and The Wall; Scuzzy Electro-Poppers 'Best Fwends' and an incredible song from Aussies 'The Grates' that is worth the money by itself.
If you can think of a better way to spend £4.99 i'd be interested to hear about it in the comments. Otherwise I suggest you snap it up here.
I'm a bit gutted right now, after losing out in the play-offs to Cheltenham last night. At the same time though I felt more pride than I have ever felt for the team & fans. So much so that I slept in my Wycombe shirt. Sad bastard!
The team gave it absolutely everything they had, playing fantastic football, but the ball just would not go in the net. It ended 0-0, so we couldn't claw back the 2-1 defecit from the first leg.
The Wycombe fans were unbelievable though. Every one of the 1,500 there was on their feet shouting at the top of their lungs not just for 90 minutes but for half an hour before & after the game as well. With about 6 drummers pounding away relentlessly we didn't hear a peep from the home fans all game, and I got home with my ears ringing as if I'd spent 8 hours in a club.
So hopefully we'll be back stronger next year. At least we should be in the hunt for the title again judging by the appalling standard of most teams we've played this season. I'm looking forward to a trip to Accrington Stanley anyway!
I hope you don't mind my occasional diversions, but lets face it there's more to life than music.
There's football as well.
There may well be a month-long musical hiatus here when the world cup starts!
It's apparently a beautiful venue with a killer soundsystem...
Kick Off is @ 10pm (I think), and I believe the final whistle will be blowing at 3am. I'll need to confirm this though...
It's £2 to get in before 11 & £4 after. Sadly teh economics wouldn't add up for it to be free.
Topping the bill is DJ GORKY - one third of Bonde Do Role. They are prime movers in the world of Baile Funk, having had the honour of the first release on Diplo’s new label, Mad Decent.
What’s Baile Funk? Well it’s basically crazy Brazillian hip-hop, with a more Miami Bass flavour. 80s hits & stuff like The Clash is often used as the backing, and it’s about the most exciting musical genre out there at the moment.
You can hear a track by Bonde do Role on my myspace page at the moment, and you can (and should) listen to a mix by DJ Gorky here.
It’s stunning. As you can hear he mixes the Baile Funk up with some electro hits / Daft Punk / Gorillaz etc. .. just check that first track, firing Alter Ego's 'Rocker' into the mix. Yeah, the boy has skillz.
So it’s official…. Baile Funk rocks. And you can hear one of its best exponents in action. There was a good article about it in the Observer last year if you wanna find out more.
Also playing are the guys from the Skull Juice blog. They have a couple of incredible mixes online, the latest of which was played on John Kennedy’s show on XFM. You can download that from here. I've not heard 'em in the flesh yet, but their web mixes are terrifyingly good!
Terrifying because i'll be attempting to back up these fucking dj gods with some excellent records and not completely terrible mixing.
Casper from Fluokids has put the whole shebang together, for which you'll be able to give him some love, as he graces the decks also. Not too much though, as he may be concentrating.
For sure there’s gonna be some seriously quality music, and some crazy dance fever going down, so I hope you can make it along. Party Anthems; Brand New Bangers; Brazillian Flavours and generally anything condusive to dancefloor action.
I was pretty disappointed a couple of weeks back when DFA asked me to remove both the Carl Craig mix of Delia & Gavin, and in particular the Shit Robot track.
I was always under the impression that DFA & LCD Soundsystem had profited enormously from the continuous (well deserved) fawning they receive on blogs, and certainly in my case it was Fluxblog that turned me on to quite how great they were. As a result i've bought a huge number of DFA records & CDs. That's how it works, no?
After all with a release as hotly anticipated as the Delia & Gavin remixes, it's absolutely inevitable that as soon as promos hit the shops MP3s will be circulating on the internet. Like it or not, that is the world the music industry is now operating in. The question is whether this is detrimental to their business. Now personally I believe blogs are like radio. The more people hear and enjoy your music, the more people will buy it. That's got to be even more the case if a release is only available on vinyl, which as far as I know both the records I posted are.
With apologies to DFA, I will also reproduce the message I received.
"It's OK, you just have to understand there is no way giving away my music 30 days ahead of a release will help me.
If you wanted to write about it like you did, that is amazing. You are a good writer. If you wanted to stream 1-2 minutes of the remix in a non-downloadable way, that would be OK too. No one would complain. But giving it away is not your right or the whole mp3 blogospheres right to do.
I truly believe in sights like yours and the value they add. I frequent them and learn a lot. I also believe there is a way you could do what you do and truly lead people to buy music after experiencing it with you first. It is just the giving away part. Its killing our business. Truly."
The part I was struggling with was reconciling the fact that on the one hand "I truly believe in sights (sic) like yours and the value they add", and the ending when I learn that "It's killing our business. Truly".
It was this ending that really threw and horrified me. I mean the last thing I want is to appear that i'm acting above the law, putting record companies out of business for the sake of a few extra notches on my hit counter. Perhaps naively I have always believed that by raving about a record, and by giving people the opportunity to listen to it, I would be (in my own little way) helping sales rather than wiping out their customer base. Even the people who don't buy the records are more likely to see the band next time they're in town; buy the t-shirt; tell their friends about them....
I like to think that MP3 blogs are doing the job that radio should (but doesn't) - which is alerting people to all the fantastic music that IS out there, but would ordinarily remain largely unheard. When I think back to the acts that have blown up over the last couple of years, it's been easy to trace the beginnings of their success back to the music blogs. The Go! Team, MIA, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, Trentemoller, Lindstrom and many many others all first came to my attention this way. And I would certainly included the success of LCD Soundsystem & DFA in this, after many sites championed both relentlessly.
Despite all this, I could understand that the label didn't want the Carl Craig mix available quite so publicly at this time, seeing as the release date was some time off. I removed the track within about 30 seconds though. It's not up to me to decide. I was pretty surprised by being asked to remove the Shit Robot track though. It's a record that had come out that week completely unheralded, and smacked me round the face shouting 'the world needs to know about this'. I explained on my post that the record had a bad pressing fault that rendered it completely unusable for any purposes other than 'sampling'. I mean if I can't use my original vinyl for anything but scratching with I can't see how anyone is going to consider owning a shitty mp3 of it as an adequate replacement for the real thing.
In addition, since starting my myspace page i'm kind of astonished at the proportion of people reading this who are either proper or wannabe djs. So I get the impression that people reading this site are big record buyers, and would also be spreading the word to other people about music they love. Maybe i'm wrong, and everyone is just leaching tracks to fill their ipods. If so let me know. I'm interested. I mean I don't really have much of a clue about who reads this.
Perhaps the trouble is that i'm basing my assumptions on my own behaviour. I'm still attached to the physical medium music comes on, and to me MP3s don't seem an adequate replacement. For similar reasons I can't get my head round paying for MP3s, since they generally cost the same as a CD or record, are of far inferior quality and have all sorts of nasty DRM attached that means you don't actually own it. Plus, what happens when your hard drive crashes, or when MP3 is replaced by a decent lossless format?
In the same way, I personally wouldn't be able to make my mind up about a record based on a 1 or 2 minute streaming sample. Obviously sometimes you know you love something within 5 seconds, but often it takes 5 or 10 listens to realise how good something is. And not always when you're sitting staring at your monitor. More often than not I fall in love with tracks having burnt them randomly on a CD (or ipod playlist) when suddenly it pops up & you think 'what the bloody hell is this. It's incredible!". DFA in particular are prone to stretching tracks out over 10+ minutes. And if they've decided that's how long the track should be, then that's what I want to listen to. With a 1 minute snatch of the Gorillaz remix, you'd think "yeah, they've stuck a nice beat under the vocals there" but you would miss out entirely on the 6 minutes plus of glorious head-crunching dirty funk at the end... which is what turns it from a being good record to being a fucking incredible record!
I can understand the concerns of the record companies. Obviously as soon as something is released on the internet it's out of your control. And that's scary. But to me all the evidence - record album sales; more gig-going than I can ever remember (have you ever found it so difficult to get tickets for things?); and a general passion for music that seems to be increasing all the time - suggests to me that the labels should embrace the web rather than fighting it.
I'm not having a go at DFA in any way. If they don't want their tracks here that's completely within their rights, and I apologise for potentially messing up their release schedule. I guess i'm just having a crisis of conscience and looking to open up a debate on the issue to work it through in my head!
If you want to legitimately listen to some new DFA material, I suggest you check out the three new Radio mixes available here.
Seems like you'll just have to trust me that both the Delia & Gavin and the Shit Robot records are completely essential. So I suggest you buy the latter immediately, and the former when it comes out in a couple of weeks.
Christ i've really overspent this month. And just when I thought my overdraft couldn't stretch any further I've been hit with a car insurance bill, my season ticket renewal for the mighty Chairboys (Cardiff here we come!), flight & ticket for Lowlands, and I also hear there may be a new Banksy print coming out in the next day or two. Which i'll obviously have to buy. Bugger. Oh well, at least the World Cup gives me an excuse to not leave the house for a month.
Too much time at the tills tills tills.
*IMAGINE THERE IS A PHOTOGRAPH HERE*
Which *ahem* leads me to todays selections.
First up a band who by the look of it have been blogged to death already. But i've not seen 'em mentioned on any of the ones I read. So I'll ignore protocol and talk 'em up anyway.
1: They're signed to Moshi Moshi records. Currently standing alongside Warp as the best independent label in the UK. 2: They're from Omaha. That's in America. 3: Their percussion is done through the medium of tap dancing. Yeah. 4 Real. It's a gimmik, but it sounds good & I like it. 4: They are tapdancing somewhere near you, sometime soon (unless you are a foreigner).
May 14th - Rescue Rooms, Nottingham 15th - Night & Day, Manchester 16th - Bar Academy, Birmingham 17th - Fibbers, York 18th - Leadmill, Sheffield 19th - Luminaire, London 20th - King Tut's, Glasgow 21st - Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh 22nd - Cockpit, Leeds
This is the first track from their first album. Which seems a good place to start:
I've been sitting on this next one for about 2 months, assuming that it had been mentioned a lot already, and ready to take up residence in the top ten any moment now. However Zane Lowe played it on the radio on my way home this evening & said it's not out until the end of June (well.. I think it's been out quite a few times already, but that'll be the date for the chart push I imagine). So I guess that means I should slap it up before you're sick of it. There's not much I can say except that if you like dancing and basslines that empty your intestines and drums that make you rush and girls singing nonsense you are in the right area.
I will furnish you with more details very shortly, but to give you some (not very) advanced warning you should be ready to descend on Dalston on Tuesday 23rd of May for some fun and good times. Yeah it's a Tuesday, but what else are you gonna do on a Tuesday. Eh?
Actually I have a question... anyone know when I should be looking out for Kitsune Maison Vol. 2?
EDIT:
Thanks to the mysterious fatbeatsbc for this:
Mid-June it is then. Get your wallets ready....
Unlike previous compilations they've released a lot of these as singles before the album release... however there's enough exciting looking new stuff there to get, well, excited!
Following a couple of comments about the Micronauts track in my optimistically titled 'mix', I thought I might dig out another record of theirs. And it took some digging! I've just spent about an hour on my knees, flicking through vinyl & scratching my head!
But eventually it turned up, after I stupidly forgot about my French section. For yes, these are yet more of our Gallic friends and neighbours. No scene-jumpers these though. They first turned up at about the same time as Daft Punk (1994?), and indeed their first single (Get Funky, Get Down) featured a blinding Daft Punk remix. They were also constantly being talked up by The Chemical Brothers - back when their opinions seemed to matter.
Well I say 'they', however looking at their entry in discogs it seems some time in 2000 the pair went their seperate ways. Judging by this 2004 release, the 'Anarchie' EP, it was because Christophe Monier discovered a stash of white gloves and glowsticks. It's the most ravey-davey record i'd heard in years.
I can't say I really like it that much - it's almost comically hard and cheesy in places. However it just retains the right amount of Mentasm to remain good. Definitely worth a listen though for the ridiculous hoover build-ups (the beginning is fantastic!).
Listening to it reminded me very stongly of a mysterious 1-sided record I bought years ago (1992?). It carries on it no information except for the title ('The Siren'), and a phone number that I seem to remember was supposed to be of a Belgian siren factory. And it's basically the Micronauts record pitched to -8. THE SIREN - THE SIREN
I'm trying to think of anything worse that could possibly have occurred. Certainly i've been in a major gloomy mood all week. The sad truth is that we are / were a one-man team, and he's now broken.
:-(
Anyway, sorry it's been quiet here. Seems every time I start getting a lot of visitors I stop updating until they disappear.
Which i'm also gonna do for a few days, as i'm off to Berlin for the weekend.
I'll leave you with a mix i've just done though. As usual there are a few dodgy transitions (and a couple of horrible ones!),but the tunes are top notch....
Actually listening back just now the mixing's pretty shite. But I think i'm claiming as my excuse the fact that I did it in the middle of the night at very low volume. Not ideal conditions!!
Regardless, i'd be grateful if you could spend an hour of your time giving it a listen. I'm sure you'll discover some long lost gems!
