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...
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.
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.
A Llantwit Major-based music blog for things post-punk, electronic and a little bit left of centre, with second-hand cultural musings, third-rate sociological stabbings and very rarely the odd mp3.
I also write the odd album review for Buzz Magazine and used to present Amser Electroneg on Bro Radio.
