How can a track made up of just a piano, hand claps, and layered vocal sound so huge?
There doesn't seem to be an awful lot of information as to whom 1010 Benja SL is or are, but one known fact is Boofiness is one of the best things I've heard this year. And with 3 days to spare.
Boofiness was first uploaded around this time last year and was made commercially available from March. Hence it rightly makes the cut for Benji B's 2017 Mixtape.
Merry Christmas one and all, Soulwax have only gone a 20 minute Xmas music megamix for BBC 6 Music.
I'm pleased to hear a few familiar tracks that I've used on my Xmas Mix series over the last couple of years. Also love the Wham Edit, which borders on hauntology and hypnagogic pop. Soulwax's Christmas Mix is only on the BBC site for a couple more days, so best hurry.
Of course I've got A Love Supreme. I also had a burned copy of Kind of Blues. I even scanned and printed the artwork, featuring the POP sticker in the top right-hand corner that Cardiff Central Library placed on all its CDs way back when. So yeah I know jazz.
Well all the jazz I need to know according to Q or Mojo or whoever compiles those 50 albums you must hear before your face falls off lists. John Coltrane and Miles Davis are always the token jazz entries. And when I was 17 I thought I was a serious music fan and that I should have A Love Supreme and Kind of Blue to prove I was a serious music fan. So I got them and I barely listened to them. In fact I think Kind of Blue went in the burned CD purge of the Eco House. So yeah I don't know jazz.
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.
