THE MAE SHI<\/strong>\u00a0[US: CALIFORNIA]
\nrevelation 3<\/strong>\u00a0mp3
\n<\/a>funny this one – i played a track from the ‘terrorbird’ album on the last show without realising that an email from\u00a0the mae shi<\/strong>‘s brad was sitting waiting for me in the in-box. happy co-incidences abound. the album is 30 tracks in total, nothing over two and a half minutes and most tracks substantially under that length. it’s incredibly diverse too, with sounds ranging from\u00a0merzbow<\/strong>-like screams of guitar to fat electro pop. definitely worth investigating further, check out the web site\u00a0here<\/a>.
\nDJ SO SU MI<\/strong>\u00a0[CANADA]
\nsteve albeenie can lick my weenie<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nand another example of visiting a site and getting a simultaneous email through via co-incidental transcendental mailways. hello to suhrid manchanda aka\u00a0dj so su mi<\/strong>\u00a0from montreal. su was guitarist a band called\u00a0da bloody gashes<\/strong>\u00a0(feat members of\u00a0les georges leningrad\u00a0<\/strong>– check them out too for wonderful weirdness) and is now making some seriously fucked up glitch electro breaks with a great lo-fi edge. cheers too for su for directing me (via\u00a0his blog<\/a>) to a couple of mp3 blogs that i had previously missed out on, namely\u00a0robot is smashed by punctuality<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0an idiot’s guide to dreaming<\/a>. go see!
\nLACKLUSTER<\/strong>\u00a0[FINLAND]
\nline noise – venutian travels (mix 2)\u00a0<\/strong>mp3<\/a>
\ngreat to hear from\u00a0lackluster<\/strong>\u00a0following on from last month’s post. the above mp3 is the 2nd mix for florida-based\u00a0line noise<\/strong>. you can now listen to streams and buy\u00a0lackluster<\/strong>‘s ‘showcase’ album (on the merck label) through warp’s\u00a0bleep<\/a>\u00a0site.
\nDISHTONE\u00a0<\/strong>[CROATIA]
\ngrand piano<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nwell, it’s all happening in croatia it seems \ud83d\ude42 following on from the amazing\u00a0no name no fame<\/strong>, comes\u00a0dishtone<\/strong>\u00a0– and thanks to ante frankic from the ‘el seguendo’ show on radio kl in split, croatia for getting in touch and passing on the link. of course, it’s near on impossible to know much about the artist(s) involved as i don’t speak the language, so we are left solely with our ears to provide some guidance throughout this strangely connected yet strangely impenetrable world of international music… this mp3 sounds like a mix between both digital and analog although i suspect it’s all in the programming. the live drum sounds + glockenspiel in this slice of electronica lend a slight jazz feel to proceedings as it chugs along. a true head-nodder! [site<\/a>]
\nTHE FEENOM CIRCLE<\/strong>\u00a0[US: SAN FRANCISCO]
\nthe pawn shop\u00a0<\/strong>mp3<\/a>
\ncheers to roger from\u00a0feenom circle<\/strong>\u00a0for dropping me a line – check out the above track, some midtempo hip hop with sweet production, pulling influences from anticon for sure. other mp3s, available from\u00a0their site<\/a>, are a little more straight up, but pretty solid if you like it old school.
\nVON INA<\/strong>\u00a0[US: SAN FRANCISCO]
\nsame sad song<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nthe sf examiner calls them ‘dance-rock foxes’ and i guess there’s a crushing inevitably about media getting hot under the collar whenever a four-piece girl band get loud and nasty. check out their\u00a0press page<\/a>\u00a0and see how many superlatives relating to feral animals you can find, it’s very frigging odd. anyway,\u00a0von ina<\/strong>\u00a0have rightly been dropped into the same post-punk bracket as\u00a0!!!<\/strong>\u00a0and their ilk, however the above track betrays a more rockin’ heart which makes the whole project that little bit more kick-ass. like a fox. or a ferret. or maybe a stoat?
\nCRIX CRAX CRUX<\/strong>\u00a0[US: FLORIDA]
\nto the birds of the limb<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nyeah, i’m a fan of this one. thanks to brian from\u00a0frigital records<\/strong>\u00a0in jacksonville, florida for dropping me a line with a few links – including this genre-bending track from\u00a0crix crax crux<\/strong>. good to hear that in this day of the dull 70s rock revival that there’s still a place for skewed guitar-based alt.pop. still, the email did say that frigital promotes “taut post-punk, woozy folk, and damaged pop from the bedroom, basement and beyond” – so you’ve got a rough idea of what we’re looking at here… more info and mp3s from other artists on\u00a0the frigital site<\/a>.
\ndemon lover emailed to say that s\/he had found some links relating to\u00a0solina<\/strong>\u00a0– whom you might recall i featured at the beginning of july. both pieces\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0are written in catallan (doh!), but it might be useful for students of the language who simultaenously want to get into the music scene… and there are\u00a0how<\/em>\u00a0many out there?
\nalso, big up to jon from\u00a0blentwell<\/a>\u00a0– if bandwidth means nothing to you, then check out his site for loads of links to mix sets from folks such as\u00a0dj shadow<\/strong>,\u00a0akufen<\/strong>\u00a0and heaps more.
\nalso, another shout out to\u00a0better propaganda<\/a>\u00a0– this mp3 site just goes from strength to strength, check out some recent free downloads to top flight artists such as\u00a0rjd2<\/strong>,\u00a0milosh<\/strong>\u00a0and the totally essential\u00a0boards of canada<\/strong>\u00a0mix of\u00a0boom bip<\/strong>‘s ‘last walk around mirror lake’ (one of my favourite tunes of 2004).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
