Black Gold - C'mon Stop

Get Revenge

Been digging on the last couple of release by Rvng Intl. of late. They’ve really branched out for the early incarnation with a series of edit 12’s and mixes, all brilliant by the way, to original releases, by quiet a wonderful variety of artists. I’m loving the new Blondes 12 Business/Pleasure, not too sure if you would call it house, but simply it is the best dance record i’ve heard this year!
To the pastoral synth pop of Mirrors to the improvised noises of Julianna Marwick and Ikue Mori, who have both also released records on the spin off label Rvng Flkwys. Quality stuff allround. Plus be sure not to sleep on the re-issue of the little known classic Harold Gosskopf – Synthesist LP, the drummer with kosmiche acts like Ashra Temple and Cosmic Jokers, and a brilliant companion to E2 E4, even though the cover reminds me of a mate who lived in a tin foil covered room.

Check out the website for plenty of info and releases

Their great Soundcloud page offers plenty of samples, including a live recording of Julianna Marwick and Ikue Mori performing last week.

Forest Swords - Riverbed

A new limited edition white vinyl 12" from Forest Swords is set to drop in June. Fjree Feather is actually a re-issue (and remaster) of demo material previously available on CD-R. You can pre-order it now and all your money will be donated to the Red Cross's tsunami recovery efforts in Japan.

Here's a taster:



His Dagger Paths EP was one of the best releases of the 2010 and is still available.

FourColor - Quiet Gray 1

Absolutely beautiful track from Japanese artist Keiichi Sugimoto under his FourColor moniker. This appears on his new album, As Pleat on the fantastic 12K label. Sugimoto uses processed guitar to beautiful effect here, aided by a haunting vocal from Sanae Yamasaki (aka Moskitoo.


Here's some fantastic live footage too

Faust - J'ai Mal Aux Dents

Cankun

another, yes another new release from Not Not Fun out on download/cassette
i'm digging these kids though, like a cumbria record played slowly backwards through an acid dipped synth....or something like that

Tropic Of Cancer

picked up the new 10" the weekend, quality stuff with and nice Richard H Kirk remix to boot, i'm liking the original

Cuticle - Liquid Crystal

great track from Not Not Fun spin off label 100% Silk
check out the Mericful Swound 12" for more of a flavour

Yannis Kyriakides & Andy Moor - Vamvakaris

Eighties Krautrock Disaster

during the 80's alot of krautrock groups continued, if a little further under the radar, morphing their sound, and some fitting into the rising Cosmic scene. Labels like Sky continued to release experimental electronic records, alot of this music is now very much, lets be kind, of it' time, but some of it i still really dig. here's some current favourites.

Panash

hard to believe this came out in 2004, time flys eh! tastey little 10" collaboration between Pepe Braddock and Jackson and his Computer Band, still sounding as fresh as the day it came out

Stellar Om Source

Warp 9 - Nunk

stone cold classic




co-produced by Jellybean Benitez

just saw this interview with him from '79, disco-tastic, check it!

Give It To Me Babe

i heard of the label Sacred Bones after picking up the first Gary War Lp (looking forward to getting my mitts on the new one), haven't really explored the whole catolgue too much, but by the sounds of Timmy's Organism i should recify that, nice new wave Suicide sounds.

K-X-P

K-X-P are from Finland. Their self-titled debut album was released on Smalltown Supersound last year.

They will be bringing their dark hypnotic motoriks, buoyant bass anchors, heavy waves of psyched-out progressive synths and echo chamber vocal rants to Dublin's Button Factory on January 20th.

Also, check out this really great oscillating minimal techno mix of '18 Hours (Of Love)' by JD Twitch (Optimo):
