Just picked up another load. Based on the online samples, I thought I should
pass these recommendations along before they're in-hand (things seem to be
going really fast these days).
Afronaught : Transcend Me / Outta Range (classic Broken Beat reissue)
John Arnold : Anaconda / Rough (pure funk with a thick beat)
Bola : Fyuti
Bola : Soup (how could I sleep on these for so long)?
Cosy Creatures : Freedom EP (Joshua-esque bassline-driven toon from Belgium
on DJ Sneak's 'Oomph'. Also reminds me of Paper in it's heydey)
DJs Collapse : Jaw Funk / Shinbone (Herbert + Mouse On Mars on Soundslike.
Sounds like Ennio Morricone getting Herberted and Moused in the bassment.
Weird)!
Domu & Volcov : The Last Of The Great Apes EP (Nice Titonton mix)
Titonton Duvante : Raunchy EP (More Titonton - very very nice)
Force Of Nature : Dark Nebula (very tech-y broken remix from Moonstarr)
Freedom Soundz Feat. Vanessa Freeman : Feelings EP (new from Alex Attias on
Nepenta. Sick vocal. Flip also sounds great)!
Global Soul : Look Into Yourself (the Seiji mix has been caned @ Co-op for
ages, which has an unusually full-on vocal for him. Never heard the Alex
Attias mix before, but it's wicked. An almost straight beat with a very
broken vocal cut-up. Sounds nice)!
Infinity Plus One : Rhythmic Unison / Looking Like U Sound (sick, limited
acid cut-up thing)
LFO : Sheath (YAY!)
Madlib : Madlib Remixes (dope remix of Gangstarr, haven't heard the rest
yet)
The Neptunes : Present... Clones ('bout time I got this, right)?
Nubian Mindz Feat. KJ : Casablanca (very different for them - quite housey)
PC Synergy : Madrugada EP (same label 'Drenched' as the Infinity Plus One
release above - house chugger, seems really varied)
Pest : Chicken Spit (really nice instrumental hip hop thing on Ninja Tune,
which apparently has a broken beat version as well. Very nice for the
original, but took a chance on it in hopes the flip delivers too)
Prassay : Krvsin (DJ Gregory one-sider, reissued on Wall of Sound. Big)!
Spacek : Vintage Hi.Tech (the high praise this week seems to be completely
deserved)
Steppah Huntah : Walk This Step (includes Seiji remix, which is
surprisinlgly noodly for him. The original has a really tasty morphing
bassline. Definitely worth checking)
32 Project : The Root Of World (mo' Hiroshe Witanabe)
Truby Trio : Universal Love (wicked Detroity house remix from Ame on the
flip)
Louie Vega : Nico's Song / Africa/Brasil (beautifully musical, but never
pisses on itself. For his son)
Various Artists : Radius EP 3 (one really nice Metro Area-esque track from
the '80s on this)
v/a - Headspace 2003 Sampler (all very nice. Well done boys)!
Should be able to hear audio for all of these but the last one at
http://www.piccadillyrecords.com
Oh, also picked up the Scott Ferguson 'Gnosis EP' on Ferris Park, which is
nothing ground breaking, but contains some nice slow groovers. Finally got
my copy of C2C4 on Moxie as well. Never noticed that the synth bloops
throughout seem to dip and dive in pitch (in the sample itself). Very weird.
Apologies if this isn't all explicitly [313]. I'm getting really tired of
hearing that the record industry is in a state of decline. All the shops I
frequent, and the rate at which things sell out indicate anything but to me.
I couldn't buy all the new releases I want if my salary was doubled.
