AMON TOBIN<\/strong>\u00a0[BRAZIL]
\nthe lighthouse<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\ngaming is a multi-million (billion?) $$ industry these days and convergence between music, movies and games is now a well-trodden part of the cultural landscape. it therefore comes as little surprise that the company behind the new splinter cell offshoot ‘chaos theory’ have turned to london’s ninja tune to lend them a hand with the soundtrack this time around. this stirs a few memories and my mind drifts fondly back to the ‘wipeout’ soundtrack – one of the earliest times i can remember when established and respected electronic artists were commissioned to write music exclusively for the game release. so anyway, an interesting day when a new\u00a0amon tobin<\/strong>\u00a0track comes courtesy of tom clancy… it’s amon at his darkest, full of grandeur and forboding – everything we’ve come to expect from the brazilian beat scientist.
\nGUSTAVO LAMAS<\/strong>\u00a0[ARGENTINA]
\namenos<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nfollowing on from the recent post from carlos lebidinsky, here’s some more argentina electronica – this time from\u00a0gustavo lamas<\/strong>, a profilic producer with releases under his belt on kompakt, traum and\u00a0akufen<\/strong>‘s oral label. although this track, and apparently many of his releases to date, suggests an overall tech-house sound, other mp3s on lamas site indicate more experimental, abstract production\u00a0(click\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and check out the two tracks at the top of the page). for more agentinian flavours, check out\u00a0sonic 360<\/a>‘s ‘beatwave argentina’ collection – a superb collection of new south american beats.
\nPET<\/strong>\u00a0[GERMANY]
\nhowlin’ pet<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nsuper pet (toob remix)<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nhere’s a return to visit to groenland records (see\u00a0half cousin\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0lunz<\/strong>\u00a0from recent posts) – this time from german solo artist,\u00a0pet<\/strong>. the album ‘player one ready’ kick starts with the excellent ‘no yes no’ which gives a clear indication of where pet is heading. this is pop music, loud and proud. there’s some electronic sensibilities throughout, but it’d be a mistake to lump this into any electro pop or electro clash territory. the above mp3s are both remixes from the album – the first takes the ‘no yes no’ track and\u00a0pet<\/strong>\u00a0gives it a blues \/ rock makeover (hence the ‘howlin’ reference) and the second is a remix by\u00a0toob<\/strong>, aka rich thair – founding member of\u00a0red snapper<\/strong>. more info on\u00a0toob<\/strong>and their new album at\u00a0t-o-o-b.com<\/a>.
\nVISIONARY UNDERGROUND<\/strong>\u00a0[ENGLAND]
\nurban uproar<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\n100 vibes<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nself-described as ‘nu skool breakbeat’ from this ‘audio visual breakbeat collective’, these guys first came to my attention through their\u00a0asian dub foundation remix<\/strong>\u00a0of ‘1000 mirrors’ – certainly for me the best remix of 2004. a four piece from london, their remarkable fusion of contemporary breaks with\u00a0a clear asian influence takes adf’s template and moves it further towards the dancefloor.\u00a0check out their web site for the full lowdown on the VU crew – an excellention selection of audio (both mp3 and streaming real player), a huge range of visual work and videos – including their new single ‘eye of the storm’ featuring dr das from adf. the debut album is due to drop soon.
\nCIBO MATTO\u00a0<\/strong>[JAPAN]
\nsci-fi wasabi<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\n+
\nYOSHIMI & YUKA<\/strong>\u00a0[JAPAN]
\nelegant bird<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nthis is an old skool post to celebrate the release of\u00a0yuka honda<\/strong>‘s new album ‘eucademix’, released through john zorn’s\u00a0tzadik<\/strong>\u00a0label. the\u00a0album<\/a>\u00a0features a one-off return collaboration between yuko and fellow cibo matto playmate\u00a0miho hatori<\/strong>\u00a0(whose post-cibo career has included guest vocal spots on\u00a0beastie boys<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0gorillaz<\/strong>\u00a0albums, as well as the excellent brazilian-influenced album ‘smokey and miho’). also worth a look is the odd\u00a0collaboration<\/a>\u00a0between yuko and\u00a0yoshimi<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0the boredoms<\/strong>, ‘flower with no colour’. [get some\u00a0boredoms<\/strong>\u00a0mp3s at epitonic\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0– and i recommend you do!].
\nTHE VIDEO KID<\/strong>\u00a0[NEW ZEALAND]
\nrunnin’ (dub)<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nfinally, a track from NZ artist bret mackenzie – in his solo guise here as\u00a0the video kid<\/strong>, but he’s also part of the excellent NZ collective,\u00a0the black seeds<\/strong>. he’s an also an actor (but don’t hold that against him) with shows at the edinburgh fringe and an appearance in peter jackson’s ‘the fellowship of the ring’. download the smart drop of dub above and check out\u00a0videokid.tv<\/a>\u00a0for more possible lies and hearsay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
