Link to the Show / Show Notes
Not a show this week for people with attention defecit disorder as I cut down the track count and get into some longer grooves kicking off with a slice of new tango with an electronic jazzy twist from UK outfit Tango Siempre. Grackle have been one of my discoveries of the week and I'm liking the mish mash of styles from this US duo, friends since childhood. Nancy Elisabeth is producing a fine blend of folktronica from her Manchester base and Virgil Howe is a talented multi-instrumentalist who is making interesting music as befits the son of a member of prog rock outfit Yes.
Julien Dyne is a hot new producer coming through with a deep blend of soul and jazz inspired beats and probably the best thing to come out of New Zealand since The Lord Of The Rings, look out for his album on BBE coming out this autumn. Floating Points has just released a great EP on his own Eglo imprint and is finishing off the year how he started it - STRONG. Zwicker is a Swiss based deep house bod and the John Talabot remix has taken his 'Oddity' track into wonderful deep disco house territory.
The Revenge are just about to release some singles influenced by some of the classic sounds of years gone by aptly summed up by the title 'Forever In Their Debt'. The Bulgarian public voted for some of their favourite pop songs in a big public contest and the winners, in a fit of inter country collaboration, were given to some UK producers to remix. I don't know what they were expecting but Ramadanman has chopped up the catchily titled 'A Nie Dvamata S Bobi Piem Kafe' track from ska popsters Wickeda into an amazing broken percussive dubstep joint - tune! Still on the dubstep track I also throw in another more techno inspired cut from the new 2562 album and then finish with some Cuban inspired Congolese Rumba from Papa Noel just to give you a little warm feeling on these cooler autumnal nights.
