Anyone else got the lurgy?
Flying Pop's - Open Your Mind
A Do!! You!!! staple, this video appears to be pitched down just like on the radio. Nice vibes, spacey house, bordering on chug. And yep, it's Pop's not Pops.
Stereolab - Doubt
Another one from that recent compilation, Little Pieces Of Stereolab (A Switched On Sampler) album. What a band, what a band.
Luis - jack anderson
Stick with it, it's about the vibes on this one, more spaced out ambient house. A quick search suggests that Luis also goes by DJ Python, which rings a bell. And I've definitely heard that vocal sample used in something before I'm sure.
Joy Orbison - Sicko Cell
Co. Caine. Powder.
Outkast - GhettoMusick
Feeling good, feeling great, feeling great, feeling good, how are you?
God, Outkast were so good.
Danny L Harle - Broken Flowers
I've been enjoying No Tags, a newish podcast from Chal Evans ad Tom Lea. Both were at FACT during its pomp, so it's about top top electronic music with top top insight and that. Anyway, during some recent discourse on Brat (there's been a lot of Brat discourse) there was a mention of an old PC Music x DISown Radio mix from 2014. And I had it buried deep on the SD card, so gave it another spin and Broken Flowers was the highlight.
Fun fact it's a second appearance in a row for Danny L Harle on these lists.
Norken - Southern Soul
I feel I might have got my sequencing out on this playlist. Probably slots in better next to the Luis track. Whatever. This is another slow burner, all spacey feels, with pads and that. But it's the weird sounds that come in after 3 minutes or so I really dig.
Aphex Twin - Stone In Focus
I did not shell out £300 for the limited edition box set of Selected Ambient Works Vol II. I did shell out £1.50 (or whatever it was) on Bandcamp for the track left off the CD release 30 years ago. I also changed the artwork to the monkey in the hot pool from the YouTube video.
Love that monkey.
Mica Levi - slob air
I am obsessed with this track. 12 minutes of not a lot. Simple repeated drum fill. Gorgeous strings. Some babbling around 4 minutes in. That's pretty much it.
It's hypnotic. It's beautiful. I don't know how it works. But I don't want to know. I want the mystery.
It's on Hyperdub too, which adds to the oddness.
I'm in my slob air era.
Track of the year, calling it now.
