Hong Kong Fuck You, Now That's What I Call Hong Kong Fuck You's Greatest Hits Vol. 69 Genre: Powerviolence/Grindcore Standout track: Give Me The Keys It took me longer to type out this demos title than it did for the entire record to start and finish xD Rumbling, hatchet-sharp and thoroughly fu » Continue Reading
Zaumne, Dreams of Teeth Falling Out Genre: Ambient/Sound Collage/Avant-garde Jazz Standout track: Upwards I've interpreted this album of moody and insular songs as pieces tailor-made to accompany the intensely emotive phone call samples and mundane domestic noises attached to them - » Continue Reading
EDO, Regrets // Unidos Genre: Darkwave Standout track: Unidos Well this double-sided demo is positively dripping with dentiloquent demiurgic tones. If you love the kind of lo-fi yet utterly sublime output of labels like labels Detriti, AVANT!, Icy Cold Records, etc you really cannot » Continue Reading
Wagon Christ, Recepticon Genre: Breakbeat/Down Tempo/Hip-Hop Standout track: Boogie Serious Seeing as this is a pseudonym of the electronic musician Luke Vibert, I was already fairly confident it'd be good stuff :3 The vocal and dialogue sampling on this is fantastic, highly imaginat » Continue Reading
Castle Zagyx, Swords against Sorcery Genre: Dungeon Synth/Orchestral/Instrumental Standout track: An Island (Unmapped) in the Nyr Dyv Epic, mysterious and thoroughly fantastically macro-scaled dungeon synth that legitimately sounds like a soul-stirring soundtrack to an openworld RPG. There are » Continue Reading
Fio Fa, You Think Genre: Tech House/Acid House Standout track: You Think Sublime synth-bathed banger from that producer who brought you Tek Tek and Rescue Squad . This fellow has an impressively diverse back catalogue of dance and electronica orientated tracks, with seemingly littl » Continue Reading
NIZA, Archivando Mis Recuerdos (1998-2004) Genre: Chamber Pop/Easy Listening Standout track: Por La Noche Looking up a few old favourites of mine from the Madrid-based label Elefant Records, and my curiosity brought me to this collection of utterly charismatic and bittersweet slee » Continue Reading
I have a whole bag-load of compilation albums for you. These three in particular delve into some very dark, dream-like fields of leftfield music. I hope you at least give my selected standout tracks a quick listen, as they are well worth it in my humble opinion :3 Tesco Sub/Versions » Continue Reading
Canadian Rifles, Atoll Genre: Ambient Standout track: Swaddled Infant (Gallo-Roman Terracotta Votive) Recently stumbled upon an Antwerp based label Audio Visual Atmosphere and I'm intrigued by their highly artistic aesthete output. Here's a gorgeously iridescent ambient gem from the » Continue Reading
Eduardo De La Calle, Analog Grooves #4 Genre: Club/Tech House Standout track: Vasudevas Wonderland Two song 12" from a Spanish producer whose back catalogue betrays an interest in Indian mythology and Hinduism. The A-side track Mental Jazz is (appropriately enough) a laconically jazzy af » Continue Reading
Bit of an overarching theme on today's update :3 I've been rather keen to share some of recent favourite black metal albums on this blog, and typically they fall into the "ugly and weird noise recorded on what sounds like Soviet Bloc equipment" territory - I just love lo-fi bestial strains of UGBM. But I'd hate to leave you with the impression that I cannot appreciate the finer things in life too.... » Continue Reading
Ogbert the Nerd, I Don't Hate You Genre: Emo Standout track: Buddies Lite Lime Think "real emo" in the vein of Texas Is The Reason or Orchid, rather than "scene emo" that might more immediately spring to mind, not that I particularly have a problem with the latter (it's the internet' » Continue Reading
