Klub Theme is like trance techno. I’m not sure if that’s a thing but I’m digging it.
Schacke – Kisloty Forever
Einmusik, D-Nox – Einmusik / D-Nox
Overall great techno, smooth and melodic. I like the filpside with D-Nox better, especially Escape.
Underworld – Drift Series 1
This is a vast body of work. It reaches into every corner of the electronic music world, it’s extensive, and mostly better than just good. But as one release it’s impossible to weigh or review, it’s like labelling a producer’s full discography.
Umwelt – Ecopoiesis
Powerful broken beat electro with power noise and industrial flavor.
VA – Voodoo Rhythm Records: Records to Ruin Any Party, Vol. 3
This has been sitting on my Play Later list for quite a while because I needed to relisten it a few times. There are too many tracks to absorb at once and the selection is just all over the place, meaning there are so many things to notice and bands to look up that it needs some attention. As for the ridiculusly (and wonderfully) wide range of genres I just quote the official notes: “from ye ye garage beat over to blues trash cajun to string arrangement funeral music over to Chicago boogie blues to psychadelic garage blues then way down to outlaw country… and much much more” – so yeah, there’s a lot. Anyway, it’s awesome. Both the variety and the tunes, too.
Peggy Gou – Moment EP
Awesome disco house. Among friends we’ve been talking about two parties that would be great to go to: banger but intelligent tech-house and a cool easy-going disco. Starry Night is exactly the kind of disco I’m wishing for.
Declan Welsh & The Decadent West – Cheaply Bought Expensively Sold
No Fun is huge, Absurd is also good, rest of the album is average indie rock. I also love the cover art.
Letherette – Brown Lounge, Vol. 5
Perfect Saturday music for yawning and staying lazy in bed.
Jim Jefferies – The Night Talker Tour
The new show is fantastic. Today was the opening of the European leg of the tour and it was just great, so much Jim, such Jefferies. I only knew one routine from all the material and that’s only because I’m mostly up to date with watching the Jim Jefferies Show weekly, other than that all new stuff and all’s good. I felt like such a fanboy clapping and rubbing hands before anything was going on, but I truly think it’s not just fanboyism going on, I laughed my ass off.
So far my best stand-up comedy experience ever was at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles last year. This one came right on par with that, but with the fan inside me added, it just jumped to the first spot.
Throwing Snow – The Death Of Pragmatism
Mid-uptempo broken beat electronics. It’s a smash, extremely good sound.
On a another note: it comes with liner notes along the exact same lines as The Balck Dog‘s Black Daisy Wheel. The motivation behind every artistic output that’s angry and frustrated these days is the current state of politics and global idiotism. Fun times.
