S.T.Mikael

2010-10-06T02:30:00.000-07:00

1980's Swedish Psych-Folk jams... the Visions of a Trespasser lp has stood out as one of the best instrumental albums i've heard this year.

Christian Bruhn

2010-10-06T02:22:00.000-07:00

German Soundtrack Composer, his sound is very versatile covering a lot of genres within an often overall theme. His soundtrack to the TV Series 'Timm Thaler' is great, Spacey Funky Synth vibes!

Neşe Karaböcek

2010-10-06T02:17:00.000-07:00

1960's Singer/Actress from Turkey, beautiful chilled out foreign vibes... highly recommended

I Broke My Robot

2010-04-05T16:49:00.000-07:00

Super Glitched out Breakcore from Virginia USA, this guys live videos are equally as amazing as his 'Tomorrow Does Not Exist' lp, if you were to perfectly blend Snares & Xanopticon, you'd get this dude, intense & complex.

Atlas Sound

2010-04-05T16:40:00.000-07:00

Bradford Cox [a.k.a Atlas Sound] better known as the lead singer of Deerhunter has made two albums of blissful/weirdo, ambient, experimental Indie Rock & i totally love it, reminds me a little bit of Animal Collective but there's definitely enough going on to separate the two, multi-layered/super peaceful.

Sully

2010-04-05T16:34:00.000-07:00

UK producer Jack Stevens [a.k.a Sully] has hit with nearly every release, only one i wont stand behind is the Nutopian Skies EP where he meddled in the filthier sounds, the majority of his work is very ahead of the game & i highly recommend grabbing copies of his Urban Graffiti & Keysound Recordings 12''s.

Lexx

2010-04-05T16:24:00.000-07:00

Hailing from the same Baltimore crew that contains Run DMT, Happy Family & Dem Hunger amongst others, Lexx's sound is all over the shop, switching from Glitchy Soulful Wonk stuff to Silly Ghetto Wobble... experimental & fun, both their 'Slime Time' & 'Mangoblunt' ep's are worth gettin'

Untold + James Blake

2010-03-23T12:32:00.000-07:00

Forward thinking UK Dubstep producers, i've made a double post here for emphasis, after hearing this first track i was hooked, then i devoured all the Hemlock Recording releases over the course of a few hours and wasn't bored for a second... so the entire label comes at high recommendation, sleek & sexy Bass grooves.

Lee Jones

2010-03-23T12:20:00.000-07:00

Tech-House producer from Aus Music [who've also released great stuff by Martyn, Joy Orbison & Motorcitysoul], this is super Wonky Acid Tech Groovin' House... it's Deep but at the same time nice & Bouncy.

Tom Caruana

2010-03-23T12:05:00.000-07:00

Beat producer/rapper from Brighton UK, he's released a few instrumental Hip Hop albums through Tea Sea Records & the awesome Welcome Aboard EP on Budabeats, but his newest lp 'Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers' a mashup of the Beatles & Wu Tang is epic, every track is a stunner... i've had this, Cream & Criminology on heavy repeat, but the whole lp is sick.

Randy Holden

2010-03-13T21:30:00.000-08:00

Mostly known as the guitarist for Blue Cheer, Randy Holden is just epic.. if you like Sabbath, Sleep, Kyuss or just any epic jams in general, you'll love this, grab a copy of Population II.

Daniel Higgs

2010-03-13T21:22:00.000-08:00

Ex Post-Punk/Hardcore frontman for Lungfish, Baltimore's Daniel Higgs has turned his solo music to a sort of dark & apocalyptic Folk... it's hypnotic, beautiful & melancholy.

Slumgullion

2010-03-13T21:17:00.000-08:00

Dutch trio of producers, Smooth & Soulful Computer Game Hip Hop with a Wonk tint, great stuff.

Mark McGuire

2010-03-13T21:11:00.000-08:00

Minimalist/Ambient artist from Cleveland USA also notably in the awesome Experimental group Emeralds, his stuff is long blissed out, droney, uplifting guitar solos.

On 1 Crew

2010-03-07T19:11:00.000-08:00

93 Breakbeat Hardcore/Oldskool Rave/Jungle sound ting from Bump records.

Zia Atabi

2010-03-07T19:04:00.000-08:00

Persian Psych-Funk jams.. this is one of the best things i've heard from Finders Keepers in ages, if you like this grab a copy of 'Pomegranates: Persian Pop, Funk and Psych of the 60's and 70's'.

Grass Widow

2010-02-24T19:01:00.000-08:00

Another all female California act, this time modern Psychedelic/Art-Rock type stuff, their debut albu [which i highly recommend] is on 'Make A Mess Records' & i'd say this groups for anyone who's into Sonic Youth or the whole 90's American Alt Rock scene.

Patience and Prudence

2010-02-24T18:50:00.000-08:00

Pop melody sisters duo from California, they were popular during the 1950's and released their biggest hit written by Billy Rose and Lee David at ages 11/14... beautiful track notorious for being covered by Steve Martin in 'The Jerk'.

Lou Courtney

2010-01-31T17:10:00.000-08:00

American 60's/70's Funk & Soul artist, grab a copy of his recently re-released 'I'm In Need Of Love' lp.

Andrea Liuzza

2010-01-31T16:59:00.000-08:00

Experimental Electronic Indie from Italy, he's done film scores, childrens music & sound installations... his 'Countless Ways For Pressing Flowers' is very good, fans of acts like Sigur rós should probably pay attention.

Thanks to Roxy

Wyrd Visions

2010-01-28T10:46:00.000-08:00

Canadian Folk artist, his music at times has the same melancholy lonely feel as powerful Black Metal, which makes it hardly surprising that his sole album 'Half-Eaten Guitar' features a lovely Mayhem cover... there's nothing heavy going on here though, just atmospheric Folk strumming.

Rubbabandz

2010-01-23T22:27:00.000-08:00

Not much info on this 95 US Rap artist, the music speaks for itself, Jazzy + Ghetto... ill shit

Top Drawer

2010-01-23T22:17:00.000-08:00

70's American Psychedelic, their Solid Oak album was originally self released @ 500 copies, considering the quality here thats mind blowing... this is what Psych Jams are all about.

Baby Huey

2010-01-23T22:04:00.000-08:00

Stone cold 70's Chicago Funk/Soul... his sole album The Baby Huey Story: The Living Legend was released through Curtom Records, serious sample material.

Omar-S

2010-01-23T00:04:00.000-08:00

Switching between Deep House/Techno & keeping the tradition of Detroit Techno alive, he releases mostly through his own label FXHE Records & his '00' titled 12''s are destined to become classics.

Majistrate

2010-01-22T23:48:00.000-08:00

94 UK Jungle from Intalektive Records [sub-label of Lucky Spin] it's dark & heavy with its amens.

Hecq vs. Exillion

2010-01-21T15:56:00.000-08:00

Filthy break & bass abusing Dubstep, Hecq... a familiar artist on the Hymen label is from Germany, while Exillion who's new to me comes from San Fran, absolutely killer track.

Silver Apples

2010-01-21T15:47:00.000-08:00

Classic New York Electronic Psych band, credited with being the first band from a Rock area to employ Electronics... their self titled & Contact albums are both equally as trippy as they are head bobbin'

Bas Lexter

2010-01-21T15:40:00.000-08:00

Latino/Guitar/Beat from this eclectic German act, the tracks i have by them are released through the awesome Austrian label Resense [one of my favorite of recent] i cant listen to this specific track without being somewhat reminded of Santa Esmerelda from Kill Bill.

Weyheyhey!!

2010-01-21T15:29:00.001-08:00

For my money this guys alongside Ghost as the best UK Breakcore artist around... spastic riddimz ahoy, like Snares on an Oldskool trip the production here is simply incredible. The Harlott ep is released through the epic Love Love Records net label.

James Blackshaw

2010-01-21T15:20:00.000-08:00

Londoner Folk instrumentalist, he's been compared to has been compared to Bert Jansch, Robbie Basho, John Fahey, Jack Rose, Leo Kottke and had released through Important Records & Tompkins Square as well as his newest album 'The Glass Bead Game' which is brilliant guitar folk medleys.

Trus'me

2010-01-21T12:04:00.000-08:00

Prime Numbers is one of those 'to look out for' labels at the moment, their owner/head mover is UK DJ/Producer Trus'me & everything he's released so far is essential... often labeled an 'edit artist' due to his heavy sampling of Funk & Soul but at the same time not sounding one to me because of his deep style, the Marvin Gaye sample used in this track is particularly awesome, this is some of the most blissful/original House music in years.

Pascal & Pearce

2010-01-21T11:56:00.000-08:00

There's a whole scene going on in South Africa at the moment with MENTAL wonky as fuck/all over the shop House breaks, if you like artists like Hijack [which you should] then SA duo Pascal & Pearce's dutty as fuck bass abuse will be right up your alley, their Mario themed track 'Disko Biskit' is already an underground anthem but i think this video better sums up why everyone should get on this.

Fabrice Planquette

2010-01-21T11:40:00.000-08:00

Planes, record clicks & pops, train noises, voices, natural sounds... all sorts of things blended together into zone out atmospheric soundscapes by this French experimentalist, his work is all free and released through labels such as Enough Records & CONV, Highly recommended sound collage.

Nosaj Thing

2010-01-21T11:30:00.000-08:00

Hardly going to be an introduction to many but this LA producers unique brand of floaty Wonk/IDM style melodies are awesome... both the Views/Octopus EP & his Drift album will undoubtedly be future staples of the current Wonk/Glitch scene thats been going on.

Geeneus

2010-01-21T11:20:00.000-08:00

UK Garage & Grime producer originally, lately moving into more Funky House territory & getting associated with Funk House heavyweights Crazy Cousinz, the sound of this is pure 90's dancefloor House anthem, cant get enough of it or the Volumes: One release on Rinse Recordings.

Linus Pauling Quartet

2009-12-17T11:55:00.000-08:00

Part of the Texas Psychedelic scene this American group makes full on Stoner Jamzzz in an Electric Wizard meets Grateful Dead type way, loe the fan video on this one too... closest thing to it is the EHG vid for Anxiety Hangover which i posted before & is equally epic.

WaGawAgA

2009-12-11T21:20:00.000-08:00

Hertfordshire based Dubstep artist who's sound is totally pushing things forward, the mrepsican album [which is available for free @ archive.org] is amazing, this is some of the best Dubstep i've ever heard.

BIGUP to Mark for thissun

Obsidian Pond

2009-12-09T22:13:00.000-08:00

Manchester based Experimental group, their music is a sort of Lo-Fi Psychedelic but with a very tribal repetition and overall Tropical/Calypso feel, they're seemingly associated with Deathbomb Arc.

Pungo

2009-12-08T10:46:00.000-08:00

Bluesy Experimental Jazz from Japan, their 'Waltz' album is like Gypsy Blues/Jazz & the whole thing is amazing.

Diane Cluck

2009-12-06T05:00:00.000-08:00

American coffee shop Anti-Folk artist, she's done collaborations with Jeffrey Lewis & Toby Goodshank amongst others and all six of her current lp's are essential listening, she's got the pleasant beauty of counterpart Joanna Newsom, but the delivery of a female Leonard Cohen/Jason Molina, very melon collie.

DJ Psylage

2009-12-06T04:55:00.000-08:00

Much like 'Master' another UK Wrong Music associated act with little to no info & only appearing a few times scattered across some WM cdr's... i think he's also associated with the Countryside Alliance Crew, whatever the case anything that mixes the Wurzels with propa rudebwoy Junglism is awesome.

Topaz Rags

2009-12-06T04:19:00.000-08:00

Amanda from Pocahaunted + Robedoor = Topaz Rags, American freaky/Drone/Psych-Folk [but really neither], haunting Rock... ballads, like most Not Not Fun releases, impossibly hard to classify, which is the reason so many flock to the label. They're total 'strung-out on heroin blues' type stuff & easily one of the top 5 acts on NNF

Ingrid Schroeder

2009-12-06T04:07:00.000-08:00

One of the shorter lived artists to come from the mid 90's UK Trip Hop scene, she managed to release a full length lp & two 12''s 'Bee Charmer' & 'Paint it Blue' both of which i like, but it's this remix by Peshay from the Paint it Blue single that stands out best, to me it sounds like Air sat down and decided to make DnB, totally chilled.

Metaform

2009-12-03T23:24:00.000-08:00

American Instrumental Hip Hop/Trip Hop/Soulful & funky Breakbeat with a hint of experimentation artist who's up there with similar people like RJD2 or Foolk, check out his killer Standing On the Shoulders of Giants lp.

Bruno Pronsato

2009-12-02T16:12:00.000-08:00

Ex-Drummer for the Punk/Speed Metal band 'Voice Of Reason' turned Micro/Minimal Techno producer, his stuff is dark, sexy, hypnotic, tribal, glitchy, futuristic & so much more... highly recommend his Why Cant We Be Like Us? lp & other Hello? Repeat releases.

Antischism

2009-12-02T14:16:00.000-08:00

Late 80's/Early 90's American Crust Punk, youthful, energetic, brutal and screechy but at the same time chock full of headbanger riffs & totally melodic, one of the best.

DJ Scotch Egg

2009-12-02T14:09:00.000-08:00

More Wrong Music, Scotch Egg is a Japanese Chiptune/Experimental/Gabbacore [just made that up] artist from the UK, his music is Chiptune to the hardcore end of the spectrum, screaming through megaphones and abusing Nintendo beats into spazzy rave stuff. While getting notorious through the festival circuit over the last few years & hitting it big on the underground with his KFC Core album, it's this track from a cdr i grabbed from Glade a few years back that blows me away everytime.

Willie and the Bumblebees

2009-12-01T17:17:00.000-08:00

Willie and the Bumblebees is a Minnesota Funk/Blues/Jam group, this track features on a private press record from 1976, this is seriously Funky Jammin' stuff.

DJ Sprinkles

2009-12-01T16:53:00.000-08:00

American Deep House from his recent Sisters, I Don't Know What This World Is Coming To 12''... spacey/hypnotic in a sort of Claude Von Stroke like way & great sexy dancefloor filler.

Shag 'n' Skoob

2009-11-30T16:27:00.000-08:00

UK Breakbeat Hardcore act who's sole release was 'Skooby Chewnz Vol. 1' on the short lived Wintermute label, apparently made using an old Amiga this four track 12'' deserves appreciation... there's a lot goin' on here.

Master

2009-11-29T14:22:00.000-08:00

I know for sure they're from the UK & they're related to Wrong Music, anymore information than that seems to be impossible to locate. From the first time i heard this track yearsss ago i knew i loved it, so free & utterly silly... lacking in any want or need to display musical ability and instead just fucking GOING FOR IT, it's like free jazz or improvisational poetry done by our generations drug abusing youth, i love absolutely everything about it and wish i could find more songs than just this & the equally as silly/brilliant track 'Skills' featuring on Now Thats What i Call Wrong Music Vol.4

Glass Candy

2009-11-29T13:04:00.000-08:00

American Electronic group, their earlier work is very Electro/Disco Punky... but their later stuff is straight up nu-skool Italo-Disco & i love it, you may be familiar with their work through the 2008 film 'Bronson' but regardless this comes highly recommended, they have one of the most vintage sounds around at the moment and are currently releasing through the awesome Italians Do It Better label.

Freddy K

2009-11-28T20:54:00.000-08:00

American Psychedelic/Punk artist, this is taken from his website [He boldly touches on love, crime, drugs, prison, alcohol, homelessness, spiritual and physical warfare from a unique angle and first-hand experience.] i can hear this perfectly in his music, like Captain Beefheart & Iggy Pop getting together, mellowing out and having a wasted jam in the same vein as the Grateful Dead, this is some of the best music i have heard in years & highly recommend everyone indulging in everything he's done, which is equally as great.

Big thanks to nightimelady again for this!

Ned Doheny

2009-11-28T03:19:00.000-08:00

California native Singer Songwriter/Pop artist, his 1976 lp 'Hard Candy' is full of great tracks... mellow & funky, great for chilled out sunny afternoons.

16 Bitch Pile Up

2009-11-27T23:43:00.000-08:00

Ohio based all female Noise/Experimental group, their music is like building Soundscapes of plucks & hums & glitches & whines... the youtube comment is spot on, like Wolf Eyes but female & more chilled out, but that isn't to say it's not equally as dark at times.

Red Snapper

2009-11-27T23:28:00.000-08:00

Don't forget the classics, one of my favorite singles from Warp Records, Trip Hop/Downtempo... Experimental... raps with epic bass, early 90's UK wikkidness.

Clint Mansell

2009-11-27T23:24:00.000-08:00

Renown Modern Classical/Soundtrack artist Mansell made big hits with works for Aranofsky's Requiem for a Dream & The Fountain, returning again for Moon his music evokes the tension and loneliness of the equally amazing film perfectly.

Harmony & Xtreme

2009-11-27T23:19:00.000-08:00

94 Jungle from Deep Jungle records, this ones heavy on the Amen abuse & while having a full on Ragga vibe, pulls it off perfectly.

Todd Tamanend Clark

2009-11-27T22:56:00.000-08:00

70's/80's Pennsylvania based Psychedelic Punk stuff... i'm reminded of Iggy Pop & Richard Hell but it sounds like they had a session with the Dead or Floyd, if you love kickin' back to jam music with great blues inspired riffs then this is for you.

Big thanks to nightimelady for this!

Yura Yura Teikoku

2009-11-27T12:34:00.000-08:00

Wiki explains it best '3-piece band from Tokyo's underground music scene centered around Kōenji. They have an eclectic sound usually described as Psychedelic Pop-Punk' i found these guys through the music they did for Shion Sono's epic film 'Love Exposure' & love this track in particular for it's insane Noise/Psych/Drone bridge halfway through... so good.

Monkey Steak

2009-11-27T12:30:00.000-08:00

South London based Dub/Breakcore/Wonky DnB stuffz... their sounds constantly changing and their live sets [which are worth grabbing if you find any] are awesome, but no indication of the eclectic nature of their sound. This particular track is off the 4 tracker Electric Birdland' on Death$ucker, not a bad track on it... but this is the best.

Vibravoid

2009-11-20T10:59:00.000-08:00

Berlin Hard/Fuzzed Out Psychedelic group, their sound is typical head bob back & forth Rock/Psych but with an almost Acid Mothers Temple or Spacemen 3 feel sometimes, check out 'Void Vibration'... i think they kick ass.

Riuichi Sakamoto

2009-11-14T10:14:00.000-08:00

80's Electro from Japan that sounds wayyy ahead of it's time, a direct influence on the Skweee genre & will appeal to glitchy electronic fans & Wonky heads.

Liquid Crystal Faith

2009-11-14T08:35:00.000-08:00

Russian, Strictly live [no releases], Strictly hardcore DnB...

Tempa T

2009-11-12T13:37:00.000-08:00

There's simply no way i could not post this overthetop UK Grime track, the video and song are perfect together and Westwoods little cameo at the start only adds to why it's the most amusing thing i've seen in ages.

Japanese Telecom

2009-11-12T13:19:00.000-08:00

Warm & Sexy Detroit Techno/Electro act again associated with International Deejay Gigolo Records, think somewhat like Dopplereffekt or Actress but again really like neither.

BADBOXR

2009-11-10T10:03:00.000-08:00

A Glasgow based Breakcore/IDM/Experimental collective consisting of OHHH!!!, Acrnym, Smile for the Cameraman Honey, Someyoungpedro, Pappygold & Sabrepulse + [from what i can see] anyone else in their area with similar ideas that fancies joining in. They have a free online compilation which is unfortunately on a currently [and has been for ages now] down server and their tracks much like the Wrong Music lot are hard to pigeon hole, but when they're good... they're really good.

Staff Benda Bilili

2009-11-10T08:50:00.000-08:00

African Congolese street musicians. They live around the grounds of the zoo in Kinshasa, and play music which is rooted in Rumba, with elements of old-school R&B and Reggae. The core of the band consists of four senior singers/guitarist, who are all disabled (they suffered from poliomyelitis when they were young) and move around in spectacularly customized tricycles. They are backed by a younger rhythm section consisting of ex-sheges, abandoned street kids who were taken under the protection of the older members of the band. The soloist is an 18 year-old boy who plays astounding electric guitar-like solos on a one-stringed lute he designed and built himself out of a tin can.

St.Vitus Dance

2009-11-10T07:49:00.000-08:00

UNSIGNED [just captalizing incase any label people read this] Trip Hop/IDM/Experimental artist from the UK, considering the fact he's one of my closest friends i can know without guessing that a lot of his influences are along the lines of the things posted in this blog so far [ie: you will like this]. Somewhat like a blend of Four Tet & later Bonobo without quite being either, i wouldn't be surprised if i found out it was released through a label like Neo Ouija, seriously top stuff... also props to Si for the awesome video.

Bendaly Family

2009-11-10T07:41:00.000-08:00

Lebanon Rock/Alt Pop group, while i cant find much information on the group i do know that this song has come out in multiple versions, this being my favorite though.

Choking Victim

2009-11-10T07:21:00.000-08:00

New York 'C-Squat' related Punk act... their sound walks the line between Ska & Punk often being neither & both at the same time, their lyrics deal with anarchy, suicide, drug addiction & depression in the most positive/happy way possible, i highly recommend getting your hands on all the few releases they had.

Origin Unknown

2009-11-10T06:43:00.000-08:00

Two of DnB's heavweights Andy C & Ant Miles under their old Breakbeat Hardcore alias, this was the second release for the notorious RAM Records, as you'll see from this the labels sound was a lot more 92/93 Rave before moving into the more jump up styled DnB that they're famous for now, while their biggest hit was the classic 'Valley of Shadows' this is my personal fave.

Evelyn King

2009-11-05T01:19:00.000-08:00

Disco/R&B artist from America, this particular track is way more Pimp Funk [yeah i'm using that as a genre, sue me] & features on her 1983 album Get Loose, it's typically 80's, very funky & dancefloor friendly.

Emil Beaulieau

2009-11-05T01:13:00.000-08:00

Harsh/Melodic [questionable] Noise from the American legend... his discography is Merzbow'esque expansive, my favorite being 'Dedicated to Charlie Ward', he's an experimentalist of the truest form, constantly changing styles/adding more/making mistakes. He is also the owner of the notorious RRRecords, aka: one of the best Noise labels ever. If you want to see true expression coming through intense sound and visual aggression, this is exactly that.

Gershwin

2009-11-05T01:08:00.000-08:00

At a guess... 94 Jungle, released on the very short lived Suntribe Records & packed full of ethereal samples & all out Amen abuse, classic.

Hype Williams

2009-11-05T00:55:00.000-08:00

This review explains it best: Hype Williams, from East London by way of three continents, make lo-fi electronic music whose experience is ethereal, primordial, and quasi-religious. It is not dance music. Not sure if it’s even listening music. It’s made with machines but it sounds like it came from 50,000 years in the past, from some animist or ancestor-worship ritual.

Kemialliset Ystävät

2009-11-02T18:26:00.000-08:00

Avant-Garde, Psych-Folk, Electronic freak out stuff from Finland... nice & childish/trippy and utilizing tons of instruments.

Angra Mainyu

2009-11-02T18:07:00.000-08:00

Raw German Black Metal, found em' through their split with one of my favorite BM acts Xasthur, their sound is progressive, melodic, stripped down & depressive... Krieg!

Flint Glass

2009-11-02T17:38:00.000-08:00

French Experimental/Illbient/IDM/Soundscape & so much more artist, his 3 albums on Brume Records are great.

Exillon

2009-11-02T17:26:00.000-08:00

Darkside German Acid on Ad Noiseam, check out 'It's OK To Dance' & his other more IDM releases, love when the snares kick in on this.

Mikro Orchestra

2009-11-02T17:15:00.000-08:00

Polish Gameboy/Tech by the former Gameboyzz Orchestra act, their sound is hypnotic & progressive like Techno but still using everything familiar with Chiptune/8-bit, but in a new way.

Bingo Gazingo

2009-10-31T00:02:00.000-07:00

Bingo Gazingo is an elderly poet and former postal worker from NYC, his sole album was released through WFMU & his music is frantically poetic, pop culture, senility raps about J-lo & Madonna... i think he's awesome.

Hydroponic Sound System

2009-10-30T22:56:00.000-07:00

Eclectic Downtempo/Hip Hop group, their sound is seriously laid back, like Bonobo or Lee Perry... you just instantly space out into smoke screened atmospheres.

Pepe Bradock

2009-10-30T22:43:00.000-07:00

Super floaty Parisian Deep House, sampling just the intro to Freddie Hubbard's 'Little Sunflower' and looping over and over, slowly adding the tiniest bits at a time, perfect comedown House full of warm/rich sounds.

Dennis Coffey

2009-10-30T22:25:00.001-07:00

70's American Multi-instrumentalist Funk/Soundtrack artist, best known probably for either his soundtrack to Black Belt Jones or his hit instrumental track Scorpio, which is what i'm posting now... but dont think i'm posting his best, it's reallllllly hard to call what his best stuff is, my personal fave is the main theme from BBJ but i've posted Scorpio because it's a great introduction to his work & the video is Soul Train, so like... yeah

The D-Coys

2009-10-30T11:17:00.000-07:00

60's Australian Garage Rock/Beat duo mostly known for this track & another named 'Bad Times' both of which have featured on multiple rarities comps, Upbeat sixties Pop vibes.

Akino Arai

2009-10-29T21:01:00.000-07:00

Japanese female soloist track taken from the anime Macross Plus, the whole soundtrack is pretty good but this track stands out to me, a sort of Trip Hop/Jazzy ballad, smooth.

Giant Squid

2009-10-29T20:48:00.000-07:00

Post Metal, their 'Metridium Fields' album is absolutely amazing, imagine TOOL, System of a Down & Russian Circles all getting together for a jam & you're close, highly recommended.

Long ''Cleve'' Reed & Little Harvey Hull

2009-10-29T20:34:00.000-07:00

Possibly as old as 1920's Blues music, taken from the Down In The Basement: Joe Bussard's Treasure Trove of Vintage 78''s compilation on Old Hat Records [great label], story goes that the only existing copy of this 78 is the one in Bussard's collection, so we're privy to hear this. The song [like a lot of other Blues tracks] is based on the tale of Stagger Lee.

Fingathing

2009-10-29T13:35:00.000-07:00

Hip Hop/Nu Jazz act from Ninja Tune, in the same vein as Mr. Scruff their music is hard to label, it's often Hip Hop, but then it also isn't... this track in specific is a terrible inticator of what their music is like, but at the same time is my favorite tune by them & a brilliantly uplifting/floaty one at that.

Pax

2009-10-29T13:25:00.000-07:00

Heavy Psychedelic Rock from Peru, this very short lived [2 years to my knowledge] band only released one self titled album [again to my knowledge] but it's full of kickass Psych grooves.

Edge of Darkness

2009-10-29T13:15:00.000-07:00

93'' UK Oldskool Rave/Breakbeat Hardcore from After Dark Recordings, this is my favorite track from this label or any of it's affiliates, it's like over the top Jungle with a sort of ethereal/fantasy element to it, total rave up bizznezz.

Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck

2009-10-29T12:38:00.000-07:00

Harsh Noise/Retarded Punkism [i just invented that word, whatever] IMO... Punk is dead, at least in the form it used to be, the new Punk is Noise, it's angry & chaotic, it has a 'fuck you' attitude more so than any other genre of 'music' which is something a lot of people aren't even willing to see it as, but even more so the stage [well they play in the crowd] presence of bands like is what Punk is all about, all over the place, frantic, improvisational, fun & in this instance naked. They're from Boston USA & their live shows are more impressive than their releases, but thats only because this is very energetic Noise, you see/hear a mess of movement and sounds all meshing together. This set really kicks in at about 1:20

enormous O'clock

2009-10-28T22:18:00.000-07:00

Japanese Electronic Soundscapes of IDM... like oldskool Autechre, this guy is mysterious & i cant find a lot of information on him, but i can tell you his Information Warfare is amazing.

Jeff Alexander

2009-10-28T22:11:00.001-07:00

This song composed by Alexander & sung by Bonnie Beecher originally featured in an episode of The Twilight Zone, it was later used again in the 2003 film by Vincent Gallo 'The Brown Bunny', it's a soft spoken/acoustic classic.

Dopplereffekt

2009-10-28T21:51:00.001-07:00

Detroit Techno/Electro duo who for some strange reason mask themselves behind German pseudonyms, their music is Minimal/Cold/Dark/Funky/Sexy... the whole bag, like Kraftwerk meets Johannes Heil, this is also another one of those acts where if you like this, you'll love all of it.

MSBR & Government Alpha

2009-10-28T21:37:00.000-07:00

Covering two legendary Noise artists with one post [because this video is a feature of the two of them + more contributing to an in-store set] simply put, if you enjoy Harsh Noise 'emphasis on harsh' then you'll love this, both artists are from Japan & both work with the more Punk approach to Noise, like Hanatarash, Dilloway, Masonna, more so than say Merzbow or Maurizio Bianchi... a beautiful exploration of sounds most people prefer not to hear.

La Revolucion de Emiliano Zapata

2009-10-28T21:30:00.000-07:00

70's Psychedelic Rock from Mexico... they remind me somewhat of the Moody Blues, switching between catchy riff based Psych to more Folk/Psych Ballads [see: Again con Angelica Maria], nice and catchy/feel good stuff.
