sub 20 years olds, pulling funny faces, wearing checked shirts, and playing tighter than the drainpipe jeans they re in. andy (drums), robin (bass), pete (guitar) and sped (guitar), mates since primary school, welcomed duncan as the final member (vocals), after he arrived sogging wet, from a traipse across marple bridge, in the usual pissing rain. it was an audition that no one could remember organising.

sam mccarthy, camdens newest and most exciting singer songwriter, stands out from the crowd by staying away from any scene or sound you would expect from his north london home. as you can probably tell from this debut single, cherrytree - a countryesque ode to young love - sams songs are classicly written and drawn from many influences other than his contemporaries.

all conquering live funk band the apples have a secret that is about to become very well known. radiotrip is the studio project of two of their founding members mixmonster (uri wertheim) and schoolmaster (ofer tal). their wide range of influences led them to create a unique musical blend unconstrained by anything except their imaginations. music heads is the second album from radiotrip a project that preceded the international fame of the apples. computers singing is the six track ep to precede their second album music heads, which contains elements of turntabalism, blues, jazzed-up breaks, funk beats and psychedelic samples ? a journey into vinyl culture with hundreds of records from various countries and eras cut & paste into one blossoming, cheerful trip. the six tracks on the ep are the most dancefloor friendly cuts from the album and include a special samples & sounds track where the boys very kindly give up their samples for the greater good of their fellow turntablists.

the long lost consists of husband & wife alfred (a.k.a. electronic daedelus) and laura darlington. in contrast to the avant electronics and hip hop aesthetics of alfreds music as daedelus, the long lost is a union of two songwriters & producers with a penchant for sad sounds and delicate, electro acoustic melodies. psychedelic lullabies for lovers and the lovelorn. as well as sa ra, laura has also sung for flying lotus. a fascinating and utterly individual project, the long lost take the subject of love away from the cliches and hackneyed wailing of the mainstream and reconnect it to those strange and uncontrollable emotions we re all so in thrall...

welcome to liquid sky, cologne! your hosts for tonite are hotel lotte residents lofi junkiez, the dank, peta, cosmopolis, hose, hagedorn, frank heiss and andre huf. expect a trip through bubbles of relaxed crazyness, weird normality and straight-up strangeness. ah yes - and groove galore!

moving jazzy downbeats by michael o connell aka cosmopolis, made in 1999.

this young talented songwriter finds inspiration in french tradition, but never falls into revival and obsession. the scathing irony or languid melancholy of gainsbourgs du jazz dans le ravin or manon lingers in some of his songs. polnareffs solar poetry sometimes illuminates his melodies. the carefreeness of the young modern people of the parisian scene in the early 80s is found in some of his electro pop nursery rhymes, evocative of jacno and gr?gory czerkinski of the duo mikado. as far as his contemporaries are concerned, alexandre seems to share affinities with s?bastien schullers dreamy harmonies or the original poetry of s?bastien tellier

frank heiss and mike o connell are the dank - and we are very thankful for this black beauty, containing 4 pieces of pure jazzy downtempo-dope.

1999 claasic for all the heads by wolfgang muench aka wulfmanson!!

elefante rossos second release is ready to hit the road on the very first days of 2009. after paul randolphs collide with isoul8 remix, now its tommaso cappellatos turn to deliver the groove for the upcoming year. taken from his >half&half< quartet (tommaso cappellato /drums - michael blake /saxophone - giovanni guidi /piano - joe rehmer /bass) >the knight< is filled by a absolute lightness and simplicity, though its execution grows around a very powerful afro beat and a straight to the heart theme. compiled together with a re-edit by ra.h (morphine records - elefante rosso) who tried to maintain the same pureness and freshness of the composition itself, with a building groove that carries the elements of the jazz composition into a hypnotic and fascinating voyage.

many marked dorian concept as one of the most promising beat producers of 2008, and now beginning of 2009 when planets explode finally drops.

planned hasnt been confirmed yet, but whats sure is one of the two new tracks is titled robo bop. its name is its motto: a blend of music in between robo and bop. apart from the few lyrical fragments, its again an instrumental, after the vocal dominated cd mechanized soul - and like always blaktroniks surprise with never heard musical structures and sound inventions - simply anti formula music and so is the b side, the edge: a halting, deepened and groovy digital funk which was taped by eps1 including a recording of his father edward robinson stating his point of view about globalism in the us. to get a better understanding of what this is about: eps1 has been using mobile recording gadgets for years to be able to tape and later on to incorporate daily life sound documents into his music.

latest installment in soul jazz records journey into the underground music of new york city in the 1980s, this time focussing on the electronic dance/post punk mutations and proto electro music that originally came out on mainly small d i y labels. today the new wave of new york art/rock groups such as dfa, the strokes, the rapture, juan mclean, james murphy, the liars, yeah yeah yeahs all have their roots in this early 1980s new york noise music scene. this album features text, original photos and interviews documenting this amazing period. new york noise 3 is compiled and annotated by stuart algabright, an important participant in the new york music scene during this period and features music from implog, suicide, snatch, james blood ulmer, dominatrix and many more. beginning in the mid-1970s, the east village of new york city, a/k/a downtown, became a hot bed of musical and artistic ideas. in this small ten block area practically every musician was also an artist, every artist a film maker and every film maker was in a band. experimental music clashed with the aftermath of punk and groups such as snatch, dominatrix and implog blurred the boundaries of art, punk and dance music. new york city at this time featured a bewildering array of musical communities: the birth of hip hop in the bronx: the punk scene of cbgbs and maxs kansas city (ramones, talking heads, television): the emerging art music scene of philip glass, laurie anderson: the underground disco scene of david mancusos loft, larry levans paradise garage, the free jazz loft scene (james blood ulmer, rashied ali) and the no wave art/rock scene of james chance, lydia lunch et al. the artists featured here created new music influenced by all these scenes.

this is the second volume of soul jazz records new york noise and delves further into the post punk/dance world of new york in the 1980s. the music ranges from the guitar driven experimentation of sonic youth, red transistor and minimalism of rhys chatham to the dubbed out disco of arthur russell and nicky siano and pulsallama. all alongside a healthy dose of punk funk from the likes of y pants, vortex and more. glenn branca, rhys chatham (minimalist classical composer), jim jarmusch (film maker and founding member of del byzantines), arthur russell, ned sublette (writer), thurston moore all included here played key roles in bringing the new york music and art scene together in the early 1980s alongside the artist jean michel basquiat, actor vincent gallo, poet lydia lunch and a host of other characters. this album features text, original photos and interviews documenting this amazing period.

belle alliance is the second studio album by german electronic music group ashra, released in 1980. it is the follow up to correlations from 1979 with the same band members: manuel göttsching (guitar, synthesizer, sequencer) , lutz ulbrich (guitar, synthesizer, piano, mellotron) , harald grosskopf (drums, percussion, synthesizer). the two albums released before under the name of ashra: new age of earth and blackouts (released under the name) had actually been manuel göttsching’s solo albums

reinventing the word dj, insideamind is the leading force in turntable music performance. knowing no limits, innovators steptone & professor fingers raise the bar high with their natural showmanship. spellbinding soundtracks, head snapping breaks, tears, laughter, and magic make up their acrobatic, high energy onstage flow. blowing away audiences not just with clever samples, but an onslaught of layered beats, big bass, and sudden switches to live improvised remixes that pull crowds deep into their world. the tiniest spy is insideamind?s first vinyl single, the title track features the exquisite vocals of laura barrett from paper bag records, over the furious drum beats, scratches and soundscapes created by steptone and professor fingers. a matter of time takes you a head nodding hip hop feel, featuring a daunting techno style remix by murr (from lal) and old school hip hop remix by toronto?s circle research crew (a recent signing to melting pot music).

right from the beginning of track one 77 slightly delayed you just know that this is going to be something special, manuel wastes no time in setting up a great syncopated backing. then the guitar comes in - and what guitar! clean, precise and wonderfully effected. ok, yes i am a fan and have been for over twenty years. so its a joy to pull this album from the shelves in order to write this review. manuel manages to mesh his rhythm and lead playing so well, the rhythm being one of those classic and perfect sounds. this isnt one of those guitar improv work-outs, the listener is left in no doubt that manuel meant to play every note he played. track two midnight on mars, ah - my favourite ashra track ever. its midnight on mars and im there right alongside him. again manuel sets up the lead line perfectly with his mix of synths, drum machine (wasnt it the classic eko rhythm computer?) and wicked guitar. this particular melody has lived in my brain since the first moment i heard it, twenty plus years ago. in fact, everyone ive ever played this track to has commented on it. manuel should be praised for creating one of the most sublime guitar moments ever to be recorded. i think im gushing here. still what the hell, this track is worth it. track three dont trust the kids isnt letting up, a bass sequence brings in the piece. this is soon joined by subtle percussion and a very well-crafted rhythm guitar. manuel certainly gets an amazing rhythmic feel. the lead line isnt far behind, this time two guitars playing in harmony. ive never been really sure whether or not thats a guitar synth. its the right time for the early roland gr500 and i believe edgar froese was using one at about this time as well. the lead is given over to a nicely distorting guitar, again manuel really means every note hes playing. a superb bit of programming moves the whole piece into double-time, and track four blackouts. he isnt even breaking into a sweat, this is fantastic!

squarepushers do it again ?
