« Previous EntriesArtist of the week – Shusi Khijada
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Born in Madrid, Shusi Khijada has developed his love for music professionally now for the past 8 years. His love of synths lead him to buy his first, the Korg Poly 800 in the mid 80s and shortly after a Yamaha V-50 and an Atari SE.
From that moment he wouldn’t stop investigating and producing music [...]
Label of the week – Pure Rhythm Records
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Pure Rhythm Records are from Germany. Their motto is “futuretradition is our mission”. Catchy, eh? Here’s what they say about themselves:
THE FUTURE
PURE RHYTHM as the name of the label stands for the transparency of the creative interlude that spreads itself in front of you like a long expected wormhole. Listeners and dancers, after passing the [...]
Review of Expect Monsters by Ghostphreak on New LifeRecordings.
Monday, October 27th, 2008If You Like Making Love At Midnight.
I just can’t let this one slip by . A true block war, born again, tear it down monster jam. Imagine hot rods with 8 foot tyres ripping through mobile homes while idle teens skateboard up and down your adjoining shared walls. Then you might have some idea of [...]
Review of Abstemious by The Dark Century on next essence experiments.
Monday, October 27th, 2008Down In The Tube Station At Midnight.
If you’ve ever been taxed at 2 am in a tower block, and they didn’t just take your weed money, they took every carrot you had, then you know where this music is coming from. If I understand what abstemious is all about, it’s that unseen hand that forces [...]
Review of Afterparty by Golitcin on [The Saw Records].
Sunday, October 26th, 2008Billy Jean Is Not My Lover
Broken Disco is right, because man this is busted up good. Old school electro goes head on with a stripped down perfecto synth and an upfront Thriller style drum just waiting to kick in. And yes, it does kick in. A real head bobber, you won’t be waiting long to [...]
Review of Cosmic Drive by Cyberworks on DBR Labs
Saturday, October 25th, 2008Hazy Cosmic Jazz.
People tell me I should smile more, and when I hear a tune like this that just might happen. A tight syn bass lays the rock steady foundation underpinned with a crisp break and jerky percussive elements bubbling underneath. The overall feel is one of space, and by that I mean s-p-a-c-e [pun [...]
Review:Elif(Jimpster Remix) by Marc Romboy on Systematic
Saturday, October 25th, 2008When I first looked at the tracklisting, it was a surprise to see a Jimpster remix on a Marc Romboy release. This artist who’s a master when it comes to creating warm beats and a laid back atmosphere, doesn’t fail on this one. There’s not much left of the original after under going the Jimpster-treatment [...]
review:Someday Sunday(Original) by Dingle on Airport Route recordings
Saturday, October 25th, 2008Starting with an intro like it’s your favorite Sunday afternoon chill anthem but let me assure you, that’s just the intro. Take your time to get past the intro and the track turns into a no-nonsense proggy straight ahead stormer. Looking for a track to reach a major climax in your set? This is the [...]
Review:Ferracosmo (Solila Cosmo Mix) by Action level & Solila on Akustika Records
Saturday, October 25th, 2008When you listen to this track you’ll understand why they named it the”Solila Cosmo Mix”. The artists must have been staring through some telescope to give this track it’s bright, atmospheric spirit. A festival of sounds all put together in a way that they all have their own spot in the musical spectrum. You can [...]
Label of the week – Hammer Records
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008With over 38 releases to date, Hammer Records is run by DJ Lux (aka Heathen) and was born as the digital arm of Raw Recordings (www.rawrecordings.co.uk) back in August ‘07.
Based in Liverpool but with artists as far a field as Canada and Brazil, the idea was to make available to the public their vast archive [...]
