Lemme take this opportunity to say that your work at the Bloc Weekend celebrity darts & karaoke are still some of the most entertaining things ever I've seen & heard...

Another month, another quick recap of things I've been listening to...

1. Golden Bug feat. Pajaro Sunrise - Taste of Love

In the middle of Juan Atkin's radio show to mark 30 years of Solid Steel, amongst the banging and beautiful techno, was this smear of sad house. It's odd and fuggy and could've come out in 2006 rather than 2016, and I mean that as a huge compliment.

2. Derrick May - Kaotic Harmony

Another member of the Belleville Three now. Here's some pristine, glistening techno from the only proper solo long player May released, way back in 1996.

3. The Jellies - Jive Baby on a Saturday Night

From what I can gather, this was a bit of a novelty record released in 1981, which had a reprint a couple of years ago on Trunk. It's proper Marmite. And for me the clipped vocals, the stripped back feel and that strutting bassline makes it a bit of punk-funk minimal disco classic. Well ESG like. Can't remember whose mix I heard it on but turns out it has also been used on a Smart Energy GB TV advert recently.

4. Devo - What I Must Do

Vex Ruffin's radio show for NTS is always a tip-top listen. During the latest show I made a note of the time to check who this track was by as I didn't recognise it. Turns out it's Devo, thus further cementing my love of Devo.

5. Polygon Window - Portreath Harbour

Went to see my mum down in Cornwall a couple of weeks ago. We went to Portreath to walk the dogs. Of course there's an Aphex Twin track that refers to this beautiful place. Released in 1993 under the Polygon Window moniker as a workaround to release stuff on Warp instead of R&S, Portreath Harbour was added to the 2001 reissue edition along with Redruth School.

Emo Christmas

Okay, with two weeks to go I reckon Christmas music is fair game like.

So here's early blogrock darling Wavves still cranking out the scuzzy surf vibes, this time in a Xmas style.

Even more delightful is the pit artwork and that you can buy it on cassette.

It's as if Wavves knew how to push my buttons.

No Brioche, Leave It Alone

I made this last week...



Last summer, in Victoria Park, I heard a young girl scream "Brioche!"

Turns out it was the name of a dog.

I might do more with pitch-shifted vocals. Or not do anything for another year.

Urgh!

Here's some odd-ball new wave, think the B-52s and Devo going at it, for no reason.

This clip of Wall of Voodoo's Back in Flesh is from the 1981 film Urgh! A Music War. A compilation movie of new wave and post punk acts performing in 1980 without context or narration, it's gone straight to the top of my wish list, especially the LaserDisc release. 

Battle Against a Machine

Another December, another redundancy. Unlike last time, this one came out of the blue. I'm trying not to take it personally, half my department lost their jobs too. I was just another number on a spreadsheet. And for all the talk of companies having values and caring about their staff, they're machines. Machines that churn on and through people until they stop making money. Maybe I'm not taking it so well.

But hey, life finds a way. I'll be fine and I now have some time on my hands.

Playing EarthBound or watching The Wire for the umpteenth time was always going to be my plan if I had time to kill. Thing is I got sucked into EarthBound big time a couple of weeks ago. Rightly lauded as a cult classic, I've never played anything like it and the soundtrack is brilliant.

Here's a thirty minute loop of the music when you fight a robot or machine...

16-bit electronic gold from Hirokazu Tanaka, Keiichi Suzuki, and Hiroshi Kanazu.

So the question is now, do I Wire it? Or do I take my dabble with JRPGs onwards to Final Fantasy III on the SNES Mini Classic?

Or y'know get a job?

Tragic X Coincidence

For some beautiful unknown reason SoundCloud has been unblocked in work and guess what? The debut EP from 1010 Benja SL - Two Houses - was right there at the top of my feed.



I still don't know a great deal about this guy, apart from he's signed to Young Turks, he hails from Kansas City, and that Tragic X is another R'n'B slow jam banger...

Tragic X is a top follow up to the best thing I heard last year, Boofiness by 1010 Benja SL. I also enjoy that the opening track of Two Houses is called Fairwater. Big up west Cardiff.

Yeah, it's been a little quite round here since I've been to the bright lights of Chicago, Las Vegas, and Carmarthen.

Just like last time we were on a break here's a long list of stuff I've been enjoying and in no particular order:

1. Silent Forum - How I Faked The Moon Landing

Caught these guys at Chefest in The Parrot in Carmarthen and was blown away. Pretty sure this is Silent Forum's debut single and they've got another out on Dec 7th called Robot on Libertino Records. If How I Faked The Moon has piqued your interest in Silent Forum's fizzing post-punk energy, then they're even better live, so make sure you head to Porter's on Wednesday 14th November for a free gig.

2. Aphex Twin - abundance10edit [2 R8's, FZ20m & a 909]

The other choice cut from Aphex Twin's Collapse EP, especially the dive around 2:16 in.

3. Hairband - Flying

Not usually one for jangly indie stuff but this has a lovely strut and the vocals are lush like.

4. DJ Clent - Clent's Dog Catcher

Absolutely flip-flopping all over the place in this list, here's some straight up footwork on Planet Mu from one of the dons of the Chicago scene. The sample's Atomic Dog by George Clinton.

5. Rustie - Zig Zag

Early Rustie is my fight music. Maximal AF. Well weapon.

6. Oneohtrix Point Never - Love In The Time Of Lexapro

Benji B closed his most recent show with this and with good reason. It is spot on Clive. Stonewall. While a lot of Oneohtrix Point Never's production can be obtuse for the sake of it, this is simple, effective and stunning electronic music.

See You Again

Another super short post, just to say that another Tyler, the Creator video fucking bangs. This time it's See You Again featuring Kali Uchis...

Scandinavian Wastes

Seeing that this Bank Holiday Sunday could not be anymore stereotypical in its wetness, how about some melancholic instrumental post-punk from Manchester to soundtrack the rainfall and the grey?

Scandinavian Wastes is the opener of The Invisible Girls by Martin Hannett and Steve Hopkins - two names that are better known as producers rather than musicians.

Hannett is the more famous of the duo due to his work with Factory Records. He was the producer with a singular vision for popular music, shaping the sounds of bands like Joy Division, Magazine, and Buzzcocks. And while he worked with U2 he also produce ESG, so everything balances out.
 
I'd not heard of The Invisible Girls until Andrew Weatherall ended a recent show on it. And according to Hopkins, The Invisible Girls was to be a band:

"The idea was to assemble a roster of key instrumental players, produce tracks to be fronted by different singers/stars - and get some hits!"

That never came to fruition but that may be more to do with the addictions of Hannett rather than the quality of the music. So if you're after some sad disco this Sunday, with beautiful drum sounds plus the space you expect when Hannett's producing, then hit that play button and head to Factory Benelux to buy a copy.

Selected Soundcloud Works

After the T69 Collapse video dropped, I've been on a big Aphex binge. And after getting lost in the autoplays I stumbled across this gem:

I never really delved in to the user18081971 SoundCloud dump. Trying to break down over 20 hours of Aphex Twin rarities from his archive just seemed too daunting. So praise be that Brethren hand-picked 12 tracks and neatly packaged it as Selected Soundcloud Works (2015).

The comments section seem to dig '13 high hats tune tamclap orig' the most but my highlights are 'sams car' (naturally)...

And '17 kids beach', whose vocal sample seems to echo Tamphex and Come On You Slags...

The whole thing is so damn good that it might be my album of the year. I don't care if it was uploaded in 2015... and isn't an album.

Cumbia In Your Ears

I'm a sucker for an unusual cover, so here's Quantic y Los Míticos del Ritmo's take of Hotline Bling...

It's definitely the best cumbia version of Drake I've heard this month.

GWTF 22: Gwennap Collapse

So you may have heard that Aphex Twin is back...

Redruth sprang to mind when I saw the terraced housing and railway bridge in the beginning sweep of T69 Collapse's video. Turns out others came to the same conclusion in the YouTube comments.

Amongst the Redruth references were pointers to an interview Richard D. James did, alongside Luke Vibert, with John Peel at Gwennap Pit in 1999.

The fan theory is that the Collapse EP artwork and latter part of the video is a nod to Gwennap Pit. And when the video dropped on Tuesday, I happened to be less than two miles down the road from it, as my mum lives in Carharrack. So guess what I did on Wednesday morning?

In the pit 🚧🚧🚧 #GwennapPit #T69Collapse #AphexTwin #Cornwall #Methodism #Methodist #Preach #Peace

A post shared by Sammyfax (@ceefaxoflife) on Aug 8, 2018 at 2:52am PDT

Much is made of Aphex Twin's Cornish roots and myth building, listen to the recent BBC Radio 4 documentary for starters, and seeing that Lanner is just down the road from Gwennap, I think it's a solid theory.

As for T69 Collapse itself, it sounds like it could easy have been on Syro, which is no bad thing. Yet that breakdown, when the melodic refrain breathes after the collapsing drums (around 3:15), is up there with the best things he's done.

So I've pre-ordered the Collapse EP, along with a Buddha Machine, from Bleep. I chose the cassette version for I am a bell.

10 in 1

I've got a bit of a backlog of stuff I want to share, and rather than struggle with the Dell, here's just a big long list of songs I've been enjoying over the last couple of weeks. There's disco, funk, and psych in there plus whatever the fuck Holger Czukay, co-founder of Can, is...

3. Octo Octa - Move On (Let Go) (De-stress Mix)

10. Monophobe - Swimming

I'm Going Back To My Roots

It's been too hot to blog. Too damn hot. But now the rain is back, just in time to block the Blood Moon and stop the cricket.

And I'm taking it back, right back. With an mp3. With a cover. With some Aphex.

Boom Bip played a cover of Alberto Balsalm by Dungen on a recent NTS show and it turns out this post rock take was recorded for Aquarium Drunkard , a blog that was right of the top on my blog roll, back when blog rolls was a thing. They were the blurst of times.

So for the streamers...

And here's a hot link to the mp3 of Dungen - Alberto Balsalm (Aphex Twin cover)

What's the Portuguese for Banger?

I've been at my new job five months now, so I should probably stop calling it a new job. I thought I had the pulse of the place, used to the rhythm and flux of a large office (I used to work with about 10 people).

Then Love Island started and I was lost. And now we're gearing up for a workplace World Cup. I'm sure you're oh-so-familiar with such things but this is my first. My team got Portugal. Talk turned to how we were gonna decorate. That Cristiano Ronaldo statue will feature prominently and I'd like to get that Nuno Valente Panini sticker involved but after that? Madeira cake, port and Portuguese man o'wars have been mentioned. Sadly Nando's is out...

Ooops, we're actually South African...

— Nando's (@NandosUK) June 7, 2018

But we might come up trumps when it comes to a soundtrack. Turns out Nelly Furtado's parents are from Portugal. Tenuous but we'll take it...

Oh Me & Oh My

Well behind the curve on this one (I hear Kanye is releasing a new album too). André 3000 uploaded two tracks on the US version of Mother's Day a couple of weeks ago. Look Ma No Hands is a 17-minute astral jazz workout with James Blake on piano and André 3000 honking away on a bass clarinet. One spin is enough.

However I cannot stop playing Me&My (To Bury Your Parents). It's a simple soul song driven by an irresistible piano line and gut-punches of emotion. It's been known that André 3000 struggles with the loss of his mother in 2013 and his father the following year. Perhaps Me&My (To Bury Your Parents) is a way of processing the grief. Maybe it was creating as an act of veneration and honour. Whatever the reason, I'm grateful that André 3000 did it. It's just beautiful. And what a debut too, as this is technically his first solo single and EP outside of OutKast.

Benin Buzz

Another month, another Buzz review.

I got a stream to Benin City's latest album for June's magazine. It's called Last Night, it's out on Moshi Moshi and it's alright like. My review is slightly more in-depth (only slightly) and I gave it three stars. Will post it when it gets published.

In the meantime here's one of the singles off the album, which sums up the album pretty well in tone and topic.

Hi, How Are You Blinky?

Bought this while half-cut on Saturday from Possum Print. Only a fiver, so all good.

15-year-old Sam would have been tamping though. While I know of Daniel Johnston, I'd not listened to Hi, How Are You. I had bought a music t-shirt without being a big fan of the musician. For some reason this used to bother me. I remember getting worked up seeing a Motorhead t-shirt for sale in Topshop. Sorry, that should be Motörhead, can't forgot the metal umlaut. I don't give a shit about Motörhead now and gave even less of one then. God knows my I was mad at it. And I'm sure I bought a Gene t-shirt for £1 in the Virgin Megastore in the Capitol Centre around the same time.

I've always been a hypocrite.

Anyway I decided to give Hi, How Are You a spin... and it's good. I can hear why it has a cult following. But I can't hear myself spinning it in the car, y'know? Still, I bought the t-shirt more for The Simpsons side of things. Plus I got the Frank Ocean one previously.

As a quick aside, looking up Daniel Johnston got me on to one of my favourite activities of an evening. And that’s falling into a Wikihole. Turns out Daniel Johnston was lumped in with the New Sincerity scene and from there I went everywhere.

GWTF 21: This Is America

Go With The Flow returns with something that's everywhere.

Childish Gambino's This Is America feels like a moment. Watercooler. Ubiquitous.

#1 on trending on YouTube. The commentariat kicking up and continuing with the think-pieces. The Genius breakdown of the lyrics becoming the quickest to hit a million pageviews. The WatchMojo Top 5 Things You Didn’t Notice in Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” Video video. The inevitable point-missing memes (yes there's dank Simpsons ones). The satire...

“He smokes a joint in it, which was really brave. I’m, like, all for legalization.”

A post shared by The Hard Times (@thehardtimesnews) on May 7, 2018 at 3:02pm PDT

They were even discussing it on BBC Radio 4 when I drove to work on Tuesday.

It's everywhere and it should be.

And there's gonna be a lot of documentaries made in the future trying to explain what we're going through now. And This Is America will feature heavily. Race, violence, distraction, chaos, confusion. Donald Glover might have the hop on the future doc-makers.

And for all the discussions around it, not enough has been said about what a banger it is.

My one thing though - and stop reading as I could ruin it for you - is towards the end of the second verse. The "Hunnid bands, hunnid bands, hunnid bands." This Is America joins John Foxx's Underpass in songs where I only hear Underpants. Underpants, underpants, underpants.

Did I write a quick blog on Childish Gambino's Important-with-a-capital-I track to share my underpants problem? Maybe. Should I check my privilege? Yeah, probably.

Still a banger though.

Rave Against The Dying Of The Light

Pangaea is playing Clwb Ifor Bach next month. 1st June to be exact. A Friday. Boom!

Boom?

The thing is the time of it. Doors are 11pm. It ends at 4am. I get up at 6am for work and I'll be hanging by doors never mind when Pangaea steps up.

And I know it makes perfect sense for club music to be played late and loud. But it increasingly feels like a young man's game y'know? And it feels like the drop off for attending shows such as Pangaea is more severe than say with rock gigs. And I wonder if it's to do with the earlier stage times you get with touring bands?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for those 'family rave' events. I'm sure they're great fun for all involved but if my mum or dad ever took me to one as a child, I don't think I'd be able to go to the toilet now. I'd still be clenching.

Nor do I fancy those morning pre-work raves. Vice reported from one a while back, and tore it out because they would wouldn't they? Still I can't ever see myself at one. So what do I want?

I'm not sure. Club culture is a late culture. Always has been, always will be. Maybe I'm worrying (yet again) about how old I feel. I mean for fuck's sake I bought this yesterday...

The Big Beat revival is finally go. 🔈🔉🔊 #BigBeat #IBuyAllMyCDsInASDAnow #TheASDA #Prodigy #Apollo440 #BentleyRhythmAce #Orbital #UtahSaints

Maybe I should just suck it up and go. Disco naps be damned.

However there's no chance of me making it to DJ Boring on a Tuesday night (doors at 11pm), much as I'd like to. It's sold out anyway. Damn kids.

Essential Happenstance

I had one of those funny little coincidences today.

I was catching up on Peaches' show for NTS and Sonos Berlin and she dropped Joe le Taxi. Not the original by Vanessa Paradis but Hanoyo's grinding electro classic.

You might recognise Hanoyo's Joe le Taxi from 2ManyDJs' As Heard On Radio Soulwax Pt.2, where it crops up pretty early. I had to have a quick wiki of that seminal mix album, and picked up on a few things:

1. That's Elton John underneath the brown paper bag
2. Wikipedia classifies it as 'Bastard Pop' (I now have a new favourite genre)
3. It was voted the greatest Belgian dance album ever

Bam! I cracked open S Memo to write about this when I got home.

And then during a proper slow burn of an afternoon, I decided to browse Instagram to avoid writing about Huawei mobile phones.

Another bam!

Soulwax announced today they're releasing a new album in June called Essential. I say new, I understand it's made up of the stuff they recorded for their maverick approach to the Radio 1 Essential Mix. If you don't know the story, the first hour of Soulwax's Essential Mix in 2017 was an hour of new music they recorded on the theme 'Essential'.

The mix has been uploaded quite few times to MixCloud and SoundCloud, if you want to check it out. But if you want to get your hands on the official release, Essential by Soulwax is out on June 22. Essential Four is streaming now...



Bam!

Still Buzzing

Another month, another album review for Buzz. This month I got Jon Hopkins and missed out on John Maus and African Scream Contest 2. More's the pity.

Once again I won't share my scintillating review until it gets mashed on to some paper. Keep an eye out in Cardiff for the magazine or sign up to their newsletter like.

Anyway here's a track off Jon Hopkins' new album Singularity, which is out on May 4th.

In other news, my reviews for April 2018's Buzz magazine are now up online. They were on Alexis Taylor and Rival Consoles. Knock yourself out.

A Lone Olive

I've been writing about bank loans this week...

Four things.

1. Banger.
2. As has been pointed out, I should've shared this on any other week when I was writing about a different financial product.
3. I'm Not Alone by Olive won the 1997 Ivor Novello award for Best Dance Music. Who knew there was a dance music category?
4. I have it on a Virgin Records compilation called The Chillout Mix and I need to stick it in the Celica.

Opal Beef

Four Tet was on Essential Mix duty last weekend. It was a pretty tidy two hours but not quite the showstopper I was hoping for. One of the highlights though - aside from his homemade ramshackle idents - was one of his recent remixes:

Bicep - Opal (Four Tet Remix) is a twisty, knotty 8 minutes of ecstatic main room techno. It keeps the good things from the original and beefs up the other parts to make it a more straightforward club record. So everything a good remix should do in the traditional sense. And I think it's that traditional style of remix that led to a slightly sniffy RA review of it - and even more prickly comments. It probably comes from the same place as my reaction to Four Tet's Essential Mix. Basically, as it's Four Tet it should be groundbreaking. Just being very good may not be enough.

Make up your own mind on the Four Tet Essential Mix in next 20-odd days, as that's how long it has left on iPlayer. Or y'know head to MixCloud where I'm sure loads of people have already uploaded it.

Monday Morning Mindfulness

I think this might just be the most chilled out bit of music I've ever heard.

Sunset Village by Beverly Glenn-Copeland is what I reckon mindfulness would sound like as music. I've dabbled a little bit with mindfulness, well I've done the free 10 days thing on Headspace. I had to get over my antipathy for all things hippy and twee, but it can be quite useful. It's not the answer to everything that some people claim it to be, but it can be good just to sit, reflect, and meditate.

And maybe listening to Sunset Village from 1986 can help you let it go this icy Monday morning in 2018.

Buzz Back

I'm back on the ol' Buzz album reviews. It's been a while, so long in fact that I felt like I needed to do another one to justify still having it in the hobbies/interests section on my CV.

So for April's issue I'm reviewing new albums from Alexis Taylor (Beautiful Thing) and Rival Consoles (Persona). I sadly missed out on Daphne & Celeste's comeback LP. No seriously, it's produced by Max Tundra and I was kinda intrigued.

Anyway I won't post any spoilers for my blistering 80 word missives. If you're in south Wales they'll be coming to a coffee shop near you soon, otherwise sign up to Buzz's damn handy fortnightly newsletter.

For now though, check out some videos from the aforementioned albums:

Alexis Taylor - Beautiful Thing:

Rival Consoles - Untravel:

EDIT: The reviews are now up online here.

Mouth House

I've been a big fan of Iz & Diz - Mouth (Brad Peep's Remix for Friends) since it came out in 2006. It's deep, non-wanky house music that's just on the right side of chug.

Anyway I learned two things about it today:

1. The entire track is made up of vocal samples
2. Brad Peep is Pépé Bradock

I should've clocked number #2 well before now. I've written previously about my love of Deep Burnt before and I can hear the link now. Actually maybe I should have figured out #1 too. I knew most of it was voice but not every little part of the track. Does this make it a beatbox tune? Mouth house?

Whatever, I've no real reason to post about this track today apart from it being really bloody good.
