Emeralds – Just To Feel Anything
When I first saw Emeralds play live at Unsound back in 2010 my friends and I couldn’t help but notice their performance dynamics. On the right you had the stoic keyboardist, in the middle the pretty boy guitarist with his expressive licks and hair flicking and, most amusingly, on the left, with his back turned…
Gmos25 – Syliphone Mix – Music From Guinea
Editions Syliphone Conakry was the most famous of a number of state-funded labels set up in Guinea post-independence under the cultural policy known as Authenticité, the purpose of which was to revive and modernise the arts, especially music, while still remaining faithful to traditional roots. Regional orchestras were established throughout the country, including Bembeya Jazz…
Guest Mix – Andrew Ingram, Tabernacle Records
Andrew be doing all things Tabernacle related for a number of years. First off was the Slabs of the Tabernacle club night in Glasgow (possibly the best name for a night ever) before moving on to Tabernacle Records which has seen some outstanding releases from the likes of John Heckle, The Third Man and The…
Louis Haiman, The Trash Company, Tim Maia
Been a while since I’ve posted about records I’ve been buying, and aside from Kenny’s efforts we’ve certainly become pretty slack in that department recently, I blame pipecock for dedicating more time to making music than just talking about it! Anyway, there’s been a few new releases and new reissues that have really impressed me…
Guest Mix: Subsignal
Subsignal is the dj/producer guise of Aaron Costelloe. He has also been running the Signal Code label for the last year, releasing a couple of his own 12″s along with the latest release by another Irish techno producer, The Parallel. He’s delivered us a super tight mix of techno and electro, with a few older…
Juju & Jordash: Techno Primitivism
A friend of mine is of the opinion that an album doesn’t really need to exceed about 45 minutes or so in length. I’m inclined to think 60 as a better marker. Gal Aner and Jordan Czamanski would argue against either going on the latest expansive addition to their catalogue. With Techno Primitivism they have…
gmos24 Tropical Holiday Boogie, Funk, Disco
A new mix from me, kind of a tribute to the summer that never came and dreams of sun drenched beaches in Tropical lands. Mostly late 70s to mid-80s disco, boogie, and funk with some tropical flavours. gmos24 – Tropical Holiday
Records: Mary Boyoi, Cut Hands, Frak, Workshop
Ok, so I here I go starting in earnest again with some regular reviewing. Mary Boyoi: Zooz Unlike our man Gmos, I have little knowledge on the African music scene. No point in pretending. It’s not something I’ve spent a lot of time with, with only Honest Jon’s Shangaan Electro series that delved into this…
