New Aphex Stuff

Got Computer Controlled Instruments PT 2 yesterday and can safely say its a nice return to form with some strange avant garde rhythms being doled out by whatever computer controlled monstrosity is pimping on the strings.

He's also got a new Soundcloud account and its jammed full of weird releases, so if you aren't aware of it by now, you can, thanks to Richard Devine, listen to the whole damned lot collated into one handy file. See below.

Aphex Twin Interview. Pts 1+2

If you were ever disappointed by the recent Syro album released on Warp then these two interviews make up for it big time.  Oh and check out some of those sound cloud recordings on the page as they are well lush.

Model 500 / Amir Alexander / Traxx

Some heartening news today, Juan Atkins has, via Facebook given a brief preview of  some new stuff ready to go out on wax.  There is a private soundcloud track preview that may or may not work, but rest assured if you ever liked the kind of Techno he made on R+S back in the 90's this is very similar (and of course its Juan Atkins, so virtually a take my money for any true techno head).

This is a double announcement as there is a nice preview (via Clone) of some new tracks by Traxx and Amir Alexander on Annunaki Cartel.  You know the drill some tough ass chi town acid with some deep 303 patterns, we'll be keeping tabs on Amir as he seems to know his shit.

Kariya

This is a stone cold British House classic anthem but, until today I never realised that it was reedited and reworked back in the day for this bootleg.  Found out via Discogs and Youtube while looking for all things a version of Salsa House with Xaviera Golds you used to hold me over the top, and vague comments about a bootleg with a topless lady on the label.  It was done by Evil Eddie Richards, a name I remember from growing up (mainly due to his work on remixing Coldcut and The Shamen) and is a belter.
You can here it here.

Nokogiribiki Mixtape

This was brought to my attention via the Jodey Kendrick Facebook page. Its a 70+ minute mix of IDM and braindance classics and newish stuff.  My favourite has to be Mandroid Jimmy's Laser Beat a massive electro cut with a Jimmy Saville impression (that I can't actually place where its from) over the top.  Jimmy's Brain Can't Handle it indeed. Well worth a listen.

Giorgio by Moroder

Hello and happy new year, I know this place doesn't get a lot of love now, its just occasionally updated when I hear and now see something that piques my interest.

Sky Arts had an interview up with disco legend Giorgio Moroder.  It was quite an insight into the guy and I learnt a few things. That he won three Oscars for various soundtracks including the sublime Chase from Midnight Express.  That he did the music to Scarface and Top Gun (Berlins Take my Breath Away), and a few disco insights too, apparently the original I feel Love didn't have a delay on it, and that Donna Summers parents were really shocked about her faking an orgasm for love to love you.

There is a small clip here and I'll try and root around and see if  the whole thing is uploaded somewhere.

Daft Punk 2

Koala T's version of Daft Punks seminal smash, and it kicks so much ass.
