Night on Bald Mountain

Been listening to some classical music recently, anyone remember this, from the end of Fantasia? It's bloody scary for the wee ones, totally nightmareish, skeletons coming to life to walk the earth, evil unleashed etc .The music is Mussorgsky. Seriously but, does any cunt know anything about classical music? I'm trying to get into some modern classical stuff, but I know bugger all really.

yes

This is just one of those tracks that just nails everything that needs to be good about a song. Only spotify link, sorry.

Ernie K-doe - backstreet lover

untold

Really into this guy at the moment, some fresh sounding post-dubstep or whatever you want to call it. Enveloping bass blankets, unconventional synthesised drum noises and eery soundscapes.

Restored to One

Well, here's something a bit different . . .


As someone with an interest in Cults in general, I knew a wee bit about the Process Church of the Final Judgement, in that they influenced the thinking of Charlie Manson and one of the founders was fae Glesga, Mary Ann MacLean. They worshiped Christ, Lucifer, Satan, and Jehovah all equally and were originally an offshoot from Scientology. Basically at the final judgement, Christ will come back to judge us and Satan will exact that judgement, in a kind of apocalyptic 'I'll haud em, you dod em' tag team style.


Anyway stoner doom sex bomb Jex Thoth has teamed up with Dave Nuss of the free Jazz group the No Neck Blues Band to record the hymns sung by this Satan worshiping counterculture cult, and I've been diggin' it. The music is a kind of psychedelic gospel rhythm and blues, with a creepy groovieness that comes from the fact that whoever wrote these songs was deeply sick in the mind. Jex's voice is sexy and haunting. The overall effect is like waking up from a really bad trip next to a beautiful woman who you know, in your heart, is Satan.

Downloaded an EP of DJ Rahaan re-edits and it inspired me to make up a wee disco mix. Some of the tunes might not be strictly disco but what am I supposed to be some sort of disco purist? Some tunes may not be the greatest quality as I assume they come from old vinyl . . .

Brackout

Brackout was set-up in honour of Ben Brydon AKA Bracket who sadly passed away suddenly on April 6th 2009. The sole purpose of this not-for-profit label is to release the many tracks Ben left behind that only a handful of people up until now have been lucky to hear.

First EP is more bassliney and the second one is more coin-op techno style. Buy em if ye like em, or buy em for someone who might!

Broken boxes: Time to Jack

Jamal Moss, an Insane Black Man

Been wanting to do a write up on jack / jakbeat for a while now, and Tulley's post about Sun Ra made me think more about another Insane Black Man and all-round Hieroglyphic Being. Dunno how familiar you all are with jakbeat but here's my take on it.

Where to start? I think it was probably mnml what done it. Maybe it was dubstep. At any rate, some time ago I started to get very bored with the clean, highly-produced digital sound of modern electronic music. I'm talking about drum patterns carefully painted with a mouse into intricate "interesting" combinations, overworked 'wobble bass' lines, the sort of cleanliness that's almost unavoidable when every element is exactly quantised and in perfect time (even when they're trying not to be). If you know what I mean? Maybe it's just me...

Sun Ra Documentary

I got given a biography of Sun Ra called 'Space is the Place' years ago ago by my mum, it's a brilliant read, I actually find his mental belief systems and the story of his life more interesting than his music, the guy is something else. He reckons he got abducted by aliens in the late 1930's who took him to Saturn and told him to drop out of college to play cosmic jazz to liberate the mind of the black man. You have to remember that being abducted by aliens, playing cosmic jazz and liberating the mind of the black man may sound like pretty run of the mill pursuits in todays society, but back in the forties they were frowned upon. He was extremely influential, especially on later black musical cult leaders like Afrika Bambaataa and George Clinton.

Anyway, I found this 60 minute documentary called Sun Ra:a joyful noise (1980) on this brilliant blog I found, http://thesoundofeye.blogspot.com/ which is well worth checking out, lots of avant guard short films and weird musical performances including some crazy experimental Zappa and shit.

Crazy Mabel

Crazy Mabel - Crazy Mabel (UK) 1971

I was going through ma tunes, pickin out the best ones to stick on a mixtape, then I came across this again. Every tune is a pure belter; the album easily listened to from start to finish, without

wanting to skip a duff tune. This album is also live but doesn't sound it (to me anyway). Described as blues-rock, I think its a wee bit more rock than blues.

Download it. I think its amazin.

Blood on the decks

Was pointed in the direction of this little gem from The Onion yesterday, which reminded me to post about the Dylan documentary series on 6Music at the mo.

Interesting concept, focusing on Dylan's change of persona at the end of each decade, 60s, 70s and 80s, with the albums Nashville Skyline, Slow Train Coming and Oh Mercy respectively. Three of my favourite Dylan albums in fact, and if you haven't heard 'em, do investigate. The programmes are available on iPlayer here.

The Revolution will not be on Youtube

I'm very much enjoying the new Gil Scott Heron album, it's got his now aged, grizzly old voice paired up with distorted industrial dubsteppy beats and some genius covers (Gil Scott Heron covering Robert Johnson's 'Me and the Devil'? Fuck yeah!). I could pretty much listen to him say anything and reckon it sounds cool mind you. Will never forgive myself for missing him at the essential festival.

Here's the album.

Peter Van Hoesen - Entropic City

This is the best techno album I've listened to in a while. It's dark, twisted, bleak and uncomfortable whilst being evil in it's funkiness and hanging together really well as an album. Gritty, industrial, introspective, alienated. I like it.

Bonus track:

found in translation

Man, German websites that talk about techno are so funny when google translates them into english . . .this from http://www.realvinylz.de/

"Percussive, loopiges House with rich quilting since the Groove through the boxes and shows how the two Berlin can press directly with a few items on the ass loose button. There are two other versions. Unwanted pulls out a little longer and the tribal groove, while Michael Melchner the proper style snares and claps uses, so that the whole EP shows again that House is mainly intended for dancing, without falling into a coma deepe."

Pressing directly on the ass loose button.

Fuckin amazin.

Dancing about architecture

I mentioned recently that I was going to a rather tasty-looking techno night in Leeds called Extract, featuring the likes of Sandwell District (Regis and Function), Octave One, Ben Pest and DJ Bone.

Well, I went. And I did try to write up a bit of a report on it, but words kind of failed me. Going to give it another go with the aid of some random Youtube vids (from other nights) to fill in the blanks. As Elvis Costello rightly pointed out, 'writing about music is like dancing about architecture'.
__________

So... it's midnight as we arrive at the club, a dingy little factory on the wrong side of Leeds city centre, south of the river in deepest Holbeck. The bar area looks like a youth club, with arcade machines, air hockey tables, and mixers served from 2l bottles. Big sound system that seems kind of out of place, but a nice vibe building nonetheless.

Trip to the bar for Red Stripe and on into the main room. Beaverworks (for such is the name of the club) is a sprawling kind of place at the best of times and there are even more rooms open than usual this evening. The main room upstairs is a good-sized warehouse space, with a beefy sub-bass enabled sound system, two huge industrial fans spinning slowly in the corner, a laser and a strobe. There's a filthy basement ravepit too, with fog and a strobe and not much else. A couple of other little rooms and an outdoor courtyard for the smokers. All (g)ravey.

Jim Masters is doing his usual plodding soulless clatterybang thing as we enter the main room. I've never understood what the attraction is, it's the sort of shit that gives techno a bad name. Plus he looks like he works in IT for the council and has just turned up to ghost your hard drive. He'll probably read some Terry Pratchett whilst he's waiting for it to defrag. Aaaanyway...

After five minutes Sandwell turn up on stage, and start fiddling with some laptops. There are looks of consternation all round as they try to plug things into stuff. I should mention that the sound was not up to its usual standards at this point, and I see the manager of the place get up and start moving monitors speakers about. Sandwell are now late to start their set, and there are some grim faces up there.

I realise that I've never actually seen Regis live before - Jo booked him for Test three times before eventually giving up, as he was a no show each time (for various valid reasons apparently). Anyway I'm getting a bad feeling about this.

A few minutes later Jim Master stops playing - thankfully - and the room goes quiet. And then something a bit like this happens:





Tricky to put into words. Dark, shuffly, moody soundscape material. That's extremely fucking banging and yet strangely funky at the same time.

Towards the end of the set, Octave One turn up at the back of the stage, and show everyone what anonymous faceless technobastards they are by jumping about, clapping, whooping and generally cheering Sandwell on. The brothers Burden appear to be on one.

My cousin Al walks up to them a few minutes later and asks what they think of Sandwell. "Incredible man" comes the response. "You're going to have to pull one out the bag here eh?" he suggests (just repping for his Brummie brothers Sandwell, and winding up our American guests a bit). There's a laugh, and then the brothers go and have a quick word with each other - dark mutterings in the corner...

A little while later, Sandwell finish up their laptop set, and we move to something a bit more analogue. I have never seen so many wires deployed in the name of techno - Octave One have some serious silver boxes. And the noise they make, well it sounds a bit like this:



These boys are so into it, it hurts. Head bounce crew, get your nod on!
















OK - so I may have got a bit carried away with the videos there, but that's the edited highlights, honest. All in all it was three and a half hours of live techno goodness. An hour and a half of Sandwell on digital, nearly two hours of Octave One banging the boxes.

Now granted, DJ Bone did come on after that and played a pretty sweet set of Detroit hard shit. And Ben Pest was playing in a hotboxed basement room where you couldn't actually see your hands for the smoke machine. But well, after that I was ready for cutting about and talking shite rather than getting shamanic on the dancefloor. So not much else of interest to report!


The night left me thinking a few things. First off, Octave One are even more amazing than I previously thought. They absolutely ripped the arse out of it, and looked like they were having more fun than the crowd whilst doing it. Some boys.

Secondly, I reckon I prefer Function as a partner to Regis than either Female or Surgeon (British Murder Boys). He brings this epic soundscape quality which suits Regis angular aggressive shit to a tee. Makes it even more banging by introducing some space between the beats, and giving the whole thing a reverby echoing backdrop which ties the sound together (like a good rug). By way of an example:



And finally, that's the second night I've been to in the last year (the other being Derrick May at the same venue) where I can honestly say I can't think when I've heard better techno in all my years of raving. And it's not throwback shit, it sounds fresh and interesting.

Derrick May was ridiculous when I saw him last autumn - redefined my understanding of the genre, in fact he made me realise it's all about the hi tek soul. But as I say, Sandwell sound better than anything Regis has done in years, and Octave One were so into it, so analogue, so banging, so soulful, it was just a joy to witness.

So there we are - that's what goes down in Leeds of late. What have the rest of you been up to!?

For those who weren't aware, Derrick May started an occasional residency on BBC 6Music last year, and has produced 4 x 2hr sets thus far. They're absolutely belting, the man's a total leg-end.

And if you can work out what 'jeep techno' is, good fucking luck to you:

so... here's a recent mixture what i put together. some tunes i like at the moment (mostly) in said uk bass category.

scobes the second tune is james blake who i was talking to you about, remix of destiny's child. quite like his stuff. checked out todd edwards and i see where you're coming from. rather shockingly cheesy but you know i roll like that sometimes. a lot of this so-called new new shit isn't half as new as it's cracked up to be. uk funky? pish house with no melody. tropical? er ok.. either way i like lots of it. tubejerky garage and techno with hunners of sub-bass? yes please. i've got shiteloads of good new tunes so i'll get more up...

i think there are better options for uploading shit now but this is on rapidshare.

sing by fourtet kind of tacked on the end cause it's pure lovely

First up

Right, following a conversation with Jim the other day, where he expressed the view that he was bored of techno, and was generally all about the UK Bass, here's a series of mixes to demonstrate why I'm more excited about techno now than at moreorless any time in the last decade. Gritty, banging, dark, shuffly, rising, glorious motherfucking techno. Yaaass:


Ancient Methods: http://fairtilizer.com/tracks/35906/download

This shit all sounds the same. It doesn't go anywhere, it's dull, it has no funk, it has no soul. Don't listen to it.

In fact, destroy yourself after reading this message.

SoundCloud

This is a great idea, nice work Tullster. Also, how's about using some sort of SoundCloud account to share all the files on or something? That way we don't have to deal with file sharing gayness like 'Your download will begin in 90 seconds, why not sell your granny whilst you're waiting?' Having said that they probably have some sort o limit on SoundCloud accounts too. I'll investigate at some point.

But generally speaking, tally-mother-fucking-ho!
