Some Stuffies from RCRD LBL:
Free Energy Something In Common All taught bass tugs and daffy synth squabble, “Something In Common” basically sounds like the Cars as re-imagined by Tom Petty fanboys. Free Energy - Something In Common Free Energy MySpazz Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions Trouble Mazzy Star chanteuse Hope Sandoval and My Bloody Valentine drummer Colm Ó Cíosóig are back as Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions after an 8-year break to deliver a sophomore dose of wandering, disembodied melodies. “Trouble” is the dimly-lit stage in a smoke-stained lounge, where the air is heavy and each note is a blissful narcotic. Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions – Trouble Hope Sandoval MySpazz From the Album: Softly Through the Devil Softly
The Toxic Avenger (a few weeks back I shared the stage with Simon aka Le Toxic Avenger, now there's new music.....YAY) Rush Hour (Ocelot Remix) The French, sometimes-masked producer, The Toxic Avenger, likes to pile on the maximal synth spit and bad guy-bashing programming to a point of critical mass. A new comp for Scion includes five new songs and the requisite cluster of remixes, this one from Ocelot mellowing the rage a bit but still perfect for power moves and the Need For Speed 20 soundtrack. The Toxic Avenger - Rush Hour (Ocelot Remix) The Toxic Avenger MySpazz From the Album: Scion CD Sampler V26 – The Toxic Avenger Junkie XL Cosmic Rave “Cosmic Rave” has to be the most exciting thing OG Dutchman Junkie XL has done in a minute–astral, almost arena-ready disco that’s heavy in the feet but bedazzled in the brain.

FIRST THINGS FIRST…..this little gem just arrived in my in-box, a mixtape type thingy from Lord of the Dubsteppers….GEORGE LENTON, it’s here and if you are in Bristol (that’s in the UK for any geographically challenged George Bush’s out there)on the 28th October 2009 he’ll be playing at The Lab at a night called: Original Mash
Don Diablo takes on the future classic 'Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes' by French house legends Cassius. The single will be released on November 5th on Cassius Records with additional remixes by Radioslave, The Subs and Reset!. Don Diablo adds extra funk and freshness to the dark & epic monster that is 'Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes' and makes you wish summer had only just begun! Also, be on the look out for Don Diablo's forthcoming new single 'Where I belong', which will be supported by a fantastic new video and remix package to boot.
The Feelies - Let’s Go The Feelies Web Metronomy Do the Right Thing (Wild Geese Remix) London remixers Wild Geese retrofit the malleable “Do the Right Thing” with a menu of classic dance-club moves: a sturdy synth-clap beat that’d mix in or out of anything, a bit of cowbell and a stove full of boiling electronics, all rising and falling and hissing out clouds of digital steam. Metronomy - Do the Right Thing (Wild Geese Remix) Metronomy MySpazz School Of Seven Bells Iamundernodisguise (Alternate Version) School Of Seven Bells is set to re-release their Alpinisms LP as a deluxe version, that includes this alternate version of Alpinisms opener “Iamundernodisguise,” “alternate” meaning “more primal drum patterns, less effects haze.” School Of Seven Bells - Iamundernodisguise (Alternate Version) School of Seven Bells Web
RIGHT, thanks peeps, well, I have just begun trawling through the entire series Carnivale and so far so good, excellent in fact!! I also spent the weekend DJing at a Le Club/ Decodance reunion which was cool as I was able to pull out all the older alt classics and obscure gems that still make me happy, it was awesome. We watched Coraline as well as The Watchmen which was cool. I LOVE the styling and animation of Coraline, it's disturbingly creepy in a normal way. AND, Sir Ryan Giggs carried on with his awesome form this season again, getting us back to top of the table.... An AWESOME weekend all in all, there was other even more awesome stuff but thats for me to know and you not to know.................'till next time.......yaaaaaaaaay!!!!!

AND NOW, RCRD LBL, god (deity, whatever higher or lower power you prescribe to) bless em: Gang Gang Dance Bebey (DJ /rupture And Matt Shadetek Remix) Who better to tighten Gang Gang’s baggy global drum tendencies than DJ /rupture and Matt Shadetek? Their remix of “Bebey” contains loads of floaty, incandescent rhythms colliding with other crazily head-spinning sounds. Looking forward to taking a dip in that swamp. Gang Gang Dance - Bebey (DJ /rupture And Matt Shadetek Remix) From the Album: Solar Life Raft Gang Gang Dance Web Zero 7 Pop Art Blue Although Summer is coming to an end, the consolation is that there’s always gonna be a next year to get drunk outside and smoke too much, unless of course this was summer that you swore a vow to total celibacy. Maybe it’s time to grow up—if it is, then turn your ears the way of “Pop Art Blue.” Zero 7 don’t seem to do anything but “grown up.” Zero 7 - Pop Art Blue Zero 7 MySpazzZero 7 Web From the Album: Yeah Ghost Boys Noize Starter Despite working recently with Erol Alkan, the Black Eyed Peas, and Gonzales; Boys Noize’s battery acid-scorched thumb hasn’t dulled a whim—he’s still perfectly capable and happy cranking out terroristic rave tunes that sound like they were made with possessed power tools. Boys Noize - Starter Boys Noize MySpazz From the Album: Power Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson The Sound The first song released from The Nominally Endowed One’s new LP for Saddle Creek, Summer Of Fear, “The Sound” is crushed flannel indie rock for those hopeful and hopeless, tides of guitars swelling around a surprisingly well-adjusted Rhodes riff. Kyp Malone from TV On The Radio produces. Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson - The Sound Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson MySpazz From the Album: Summer of Fear Drop The Lime Devil’s Eyes (Luca’s B-Live Club Mix) An uptempo mix of a song called “Devil’s Eyes,” commissioned by Bacardi B-Live, it is not only a soon-to-be-massive club track, but also the most pained and arena-ready Drop The Lime vocal performance we’ve heard yet. Drop The Lime - Devil’s Eyes (Luca’s B-Live Club Mix) Drop the Lime MySpazz DJ Gina Turner & Dan Oh Cane Che Abbaia Non Morde Gina Turner and Dan Oh both stand on the housier side of LA’s DJ community, their preferences lying in the wind-in-your-sails sound of Europe’s big rooms. That’s pretty much the score for this tune—there’s the wooshy breakdowns, the sharp 4/4 thump, and the glitzy synth sprinkles. DJ Gina Turner & Dan Oh - Cane Che Abbaia Non Morde DJ Gina Turner MySpazz From the Album: Che Abbaia Non Morde John Forté Nervous John Forté is a free man, and yet on this deep slow-burner from his new record, StyleFREE the EP, he’s more concerned with the search for “some essence of a connection in a world divided.” Damn, we hope he writes a song as good as this when he finds it. John Forté – Nervous John Forte MySpazzJohn Forte Web From The Album: StyleFREE DD/MM/YYYY Digital Haircut Now that they’ve re-released Black Square, toured with Crystal Castles, hit up SXSW, become adored by Pitchfork and had “Digital Haircut” crowned the official song of the Summer 2009 XGames, does anyone know how to pronounce DD/MM/YYYY yet?

Jeremy Jay Words Of Love (Holly) Jeremy Jay is a man of more traditional pleasures like the gentle thrum of an acoustic guitar and Buddy Holly songs. “Words Of Love” is one of the best, and it’s a strong suit for Jay; the LA crooner winsome as he clumsily trips his way through those words like a giddy, overgrown schoolboy. Jeremy Jay - Words Of Love (Holly) Jeremy Jay MySpazz From the Album: Breaking the Ice Lauren Flax You’ve Changed (ft. Sia) (Richie Panic And UFO!

A NEW Nick Cave and Warren Ellis collection of their film and television scores:) AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nick Cave and Warren Ellis have been creating music together for more than fifteen years, with The Bad Seeds, Grinderman and The Dirty Three. More recently, they have collaborated on soundtracks for such films as The Proposition (2005) and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007). White Lunar, a two CD set, contains music they composed from the aforementioned films, along with a selection of their cinematic scores, including rare and previously unavailable material. Cave and Ellis' first soundtrack together was Australian director John Hillcoat's 2005 quasi-Western, The Proposition (for which Cave also wrote the screenplay). The following year, the pair received a commission to compose the music for a film by another Australian director, Andrew Dominik's The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. By the time Dominik's film came out, Hillcoat had begun his adaptation of The Road (Cormac McCarthy's novel of a father and son's trek across a vast wasteland in the aftermath of global catastrophe); once again Cave and Ellis were invited to create music for the film. With The Road as yet unreleased, this album offers a rare opportunity for a sneak preview of the soundtrack. All three movies, with their epic landscapes and acutely incised psychology, find a correlative sweep and depth in the scores that Cave and Ellis have devised for them, and a poignancy that imbues the films with a timeless aura; the music from this triumvirate is on Disc 1 of the 2 CD set. In addition to these large-scale efforts, Cave and Ellis have also contributed a resonant musical dimension to a pair of lesser known, but striking documentaries, represented on Disc 2. In 2007, Cave and Ellis scored Geoffrey Smith's harrowing The English Surgeon, a film tracing Dr. Henry Marsh's struggle to bring neurosurgery to post-Soviet Ukraine. Amplifying the enterprising doctor's frustrations and anxieties, his practical genius and ethical dread, the music sighs and whines like the surgical instruments Dr. Marsh shanghais from the NHS. The Girls of Phnom Penh (2009), Matthew Watson's film investigating Cambodia's "virginity trade", describes a sorority of three young sex workers, struggling with degradation and poverty against Cave and Ellis' urgent sound-scape of humid loops, serrated cymbals and geysers of steam. Accompanying the soundtracks on the second disc are four pieces drawn from the Cave & Ellis archives, all named after craters: "Magma" is constructed from a chorus of Warrens singing a pitch-shifted riff, "Zanstra" swarms like a storm of hornets besieging a submarine, "Halo" finds pastoral calm in the eager teeth of defeat and "Daedalus" rises sure as the sun, with dewy flute and fluttering piano motes, before a sudden fade. The sequence is conceived as a suite. "Listen to it as you might listen to an instrumental album" recommends Ellis, as "some kind of trip".

I have been sitting on this for a while, so apologies to Alan, been INSANELY busy. ANYHOO, Alan, a Brooklyn based producer/multi-instrumentalist recently released his astoundingly good and sunny and summery EP called Pink and Purple cd for sale. Its also available on iTunes as well as on Amazon This is the Press Release:
Brooklyn-based producer/multi-instrumentalist, Alan Wilkis, is extrememly proud to present PINK AND PURPLE. Jampacked with 808s, vintage synths, vocoders, handclaps, hooks, and harmonies, PAP is an eclectic romp through the FM airwaves of the 1980s - 6 songs of non-stop electro-pop dynamite. Home-recorded from June ʻ08 - February ʼ09, PAP is Wilkis' sophomore release. On it, he continues to explore his unique genre-bending aesthetic, crafting a sound that is at once familiar and yet entirely his own, with influences ranging from Prince and Rick James to Steve Winwood and Madonna. On the EP-opener, "Snuggle Up To Nail Down," infectious Casio beats pop-and-lock their way across the dancefloor. On "N.I.C.E.," Alan floats rubbery synths over squelching basslines and squealing horns. "Dance With You" pits Van Halen against the Pointer Sisters in a "Jump" contest, and the epic "Time Machine" soundtracks The Neverending Story with Phil Collins. In assembling PAP, Alan enlisted several of NY's finest, including Gunnar Olsen on drums (Dragons Of Zynth, The Exit, Earl Greyhound, Asobi Seksu, Fires of Rome); guitarists, Grey McMurray (itsnotyouitsme, Bell, Matmos) and Ryan Ferreira (Alarm Will Sound, Bell); Eric Biondo (Antibalas, Shakira, TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Dirty On Purpose) and Tony Barba (Youngblood Brass Band) on horns. So throw PINK AND PURPLE on your iPod and turn it up real loud... 100% guaranteed to slap a smile on your face and throw a serious wiggle in your booty. Don't be scared... it's just Alan Wilkis. “Refreshingly modern...” - Popmatters "A tasty bouillabaisse..." - Paper Magazine "Wicked... like Hall & Oates or Stevie Wonder playing with Kraftwerk." - MistaJam, BBC Radio alan wilkis w: Alan Wilkis MySpace
I found the album to be seriously summery and warm and fun and whimsical and hopeful and joyful. He certainly knows his way around a studio, the choons are definately 80's inspired, there's even a bit of aHa in there as well, which is never a bad thing. I know you peeps in the Northern Hemisphere are going into those long cold months of winter and stuff, listen to this album and summer will be RIGHT back for you. Well, hope you enjoy, I'm off, shizzle to do and shizzle to sort out, got some WAY exciting events planned!!!!! Can you say TRASH? Can you say PREP? What MODE do you find YOURSELF in??? Hmmm????

PHEW, and then, what would a blog of mine be if it didn't have some RCRD LBL awesomeness for ya? Huh, huh, huh....: Retro/Grade Moda (Radio Edit) Retro/Grade, the Italo-disco-focused project from Serge Santiago and Tom Neville, has been the stuff of keyboard-sweating message board minions for more than a year, and for good reason—their first single “Moda” is a soaring, cheeseless take on a genre we’ve often found wandering into questionably samey waters. Retro/Grade - Moda (Radio Edit) The Willowz Repetition OC rock-faves The Willowz are pushing back the release date of their new record Everyone until November 17th. Bummer. To tide you over, we’re offering “Repetition” for you to put on repeat—no pun intended. Okay, just slightly. The Willowz - Repetition The Willowz Web Phaseone Thanks But No Thanks (Full Album) With a proclivity for making music that sounds like gumball asteroids falling from the sky, we’re passing on Phaseone’s debut LP Thanks But No Thanks, because we think it’s that good.

Phaseone - Thanks But No Thanks (Full Album) The Clean Tensile No year on Earth can be all bad if The Clean are releasing a new album. “Tensile” is keyboard crescents darting around three and four-note guitar and bass figures, all green-lighted by their particular sort of Krautpop beat—the one where the robotic severity is replaced by ultra-human grooviness.

Wildbirds & Peacedrums My Heart (AU Remix) This AU remix of Wildbirds & Peacedrums is much more ‘wildbird’ than ‘peacedrum,’ that’s for sure; Mariam Wallentin switching up into full-on diva mode as those pans rattle nervously, strings panicking in the background. Wildbirds & Peacedrums - My Heart (AU Remix) Wildbirds & Peacedrums Web Fever Ray Seven (Crookers Remix) Fever Ray is sullen mystery and dark spaces.
