\nSEX IN DALLAS<\/strong>\u00a0[FRANCE]
\nberlin rocks (manix remix)<\/strong>\u00a0mp3
\n<\/a>sex in dallas<\/strong>\u00a0are a three piece from france who, according to their bio, set out to make music that avoided the by-now over familiar french sound of bands like\u00a0daft punk<\/strong>,\u00a0air<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0super discount<\/strong>‘s brand of french house. strangely, in the search for this sound, they’re sounding more german than many of their berlin-based counterparts. it’s a screwed up world, for sure… i’ve featured\u00a0sex in dallas\u00a0<\/strong>on the blog before, with the stomping track ‘everyone deserves to be fucked’. so with a title like that, it was something a revealation to find a little downtempo gem lurking inside their new album ‘around the war’. the track in question (played on today’s show) is called ‘five o’clock’ and you can listen to a stream of that and the rest of the album at their\u00a0kitty yo page<\/a>. this mp3 is a very different proposition again, a guitar-driven 4-4 electro journey – with random chunks of dialogue strewn throughout.
\nPHONIQUE<\/strong>\u00a0[GERMANY]
\nwork together<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nberlin-based house producer\u00a0phonique<\/strong>\u00a0has just dropped his new debut album and it’s an interesting blend of electronic music from deep house to minimal electro with flashes of disco. it’s generally easy on the ear, which might usually be a curse – but there’s enough of an engagement with both classic detriot and berlin sounds to keep it interesting. man-about-town, erlend oye from the\u00a0kings of convenience<\/strong>\u00a0lends some vocals, as does paris the black fu from\u00a0detriot grand pubahs<\/strong>. to stream the album tracks,\u00a0go here<\/a>.
\nAPPARAT<\/strong>\u00a0[GERMANY] (pictured)
\nlive in barcelona<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\ni’m sensing a theme on today’s post and it seems to have something to do with germany and electronica …mmm … well, here’s the top dog for today anyway, a great discovery nestling away on berlin’s\u00a0shitkatapult<\/a>\u00a0label. if you downloaded the recent\u00a0giani nannini<\/strong>\u00a0mp3, you’ll have some of idea of what to expect from\u00a0apparat<\/strong>. this is a large file, a full 50-minute live dj set from ‘burn and consume’ in barcelona, recorded in december 2003.\u00a0apparat<\/strong>\u00a0seems to be generally falling into the lusher end of electronica, but it’s also married with some hard beats in places too. for ease of description, it’s\u00a0boards of canada<\/strong>\u00a0with balls. there’s heaps more to investigate – two albums for starters and what looks like an an amazing remix package too.
\nELECTRIC EEL SHOCK<\/strong>\u00a0[JAPAN]
\nrock’n’roll can rescue the world<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nso let’s end with something very different from the above – straight ahead, legs apart, solid rock’n’roll from japan. as you might know already, i have a deep, deep love for japanese music. they produce some of the finest music in the world. and when they turn their attention to rock’n’roll, it’s generally incredible (guitar wolf\u00a0<\/strong>being a great example). here, we have a japanese trio showing the west how to make great r’n’r, it’s like they’ve swallowed every possible rock notion and are filtering it back to us through eastern amps. top quality. and, if that’s not enough, they’re just about to do a japanese tour with the wonderful\u00a0shonen knife<\/strong>. god bless ’em.
