I revived an old music blog from the early 2000s?

Maybe it’s been a foolish endeavor, and maybe I’m the only one who misses the blog ol’ days, but I’ve been giving it a shot. I’ve been working on restoring some of the old content, though much of it was lost. I’ve slowly been rebuilding the old remix sunday archives, and even posting the occasional new edition. And I’ve been writing again.

You can find all the label’s releases here, on bandcamp, or most anywhere you listen to music these days. I’ve still got copies of some of the old vinyl releases, and I recently released the first in a set of charitable cassette compilations to raise awareness about the continued [mis]use of broken windows policing methods.

Plus, I put together a playlists section with a handful of spotify lists that hopefully start to capture a [slightly] updated version of the moods we used to peddle. Give those a listen and a ❤ if you would be so kind. If you want to get in touch, just give me a holler.

  • Datassette

    Datassette – “Vacuform”

    Datassette and Datashat are the aliases of London-based computer programmer and producer John Davies. His signature retro-digital sound has the crunch of vintage synthesizers while maintaining somewhat of a sharp edge. The sonic landscapes he creates are reminiscent of a video game, which isn’t surprising seeing as how he has made one of those too. The Datassette website has a pretty extensive free downloads section, so go check it out.

    Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five – “The Message” (Datashat Remix) (mp3) (originally posted as part of Remix Sunday 61)

    Datassette – “Start It Again” (mp3)

    Datassette – “Making Plans For Nigel” (mp3)

    Röyksopp – “Happy Up Here” (Datassette Remix) (mp3)

    From the future: Davies seems to have removed the free downloads section of his site, so I’m uploading these bits here instead. There is a bunch of pay-what-you-wish stuff on his bandcamp though, so check that out too.

  • Remix Sunday 156

    From the future: this turned out to be the last Remix Sunday, but I didn’t intend for that at the time. It must’ve felt like it went out with a whisper. But even though it’s been ten years since I posted this, I’ve decided to start doing these again. I can’t promise how often, or when exactly I’ll start. And sure, the world has changed a lot since then, but I hope it might make a few of you out there smile. <3

  • Giana Factory – Dirty Snow (Trentemøller Remix)

    One of my favorite Danish bands – Giana Factory – are coming out with their first full-length, Save The Youth.

    In preparation for the release of the album this fall, the band will be releasing a series of 7″s, each featuring one song from the album and a remake by former tourmates like Glasvegas, Whomadewho, Autolux, and first up: Trentemøller.

    Giana Factory – “Dirty Snow” (Trentemøller Remix) (bc)

  • I WANT 2 B FREE

    If you search the archive on this site, you might find a few posts by Red Foxx. But they’d probably just be about preteen Japanese video game culture, or how he invented rainbows, or getting punched. Follow him on twits @LILINTERNET or at lilinter.net.

    REDFOXX – “I WANT 2 B FREE” (mp3)

    From the future: this song pretty much disappeared from the internet after Azaelia Banks used it as an instrumental for a song. Julian has since gone on to do too much to list, but definitely invest some time into New Models.

  • Jacques Greene – Tell Me (Kingdom Edit)

    Jacques Greene loves old school R&B, 90′s UK garage, and running his snares through a really low-cutoff filter. His debut EP, which came out in December on the Lucky Me, is anything but dreamy. “The Look” straight up swings like some circa-’92 London pirate radio fodder. Four-to-the-floor kicks, pitch-bent shakers, bubble-bass and all. On this edit, Kingdom tackles the most sonically abstract composition on the EP, bringing it back to NYC.

    Jacques Greene – “Tell Me” (Kingdom Edit) (sc)

  • Marcus Price & Carli – Bubbelgum

    Marcus Price & Carli – “Bubbelgum”

    Palms Out is extremely excited to announce the release of Marcus Price & Carli’s Bubbelgum, the follow up to 2010′s smash Mat Bira Kvinnor Weed. Bubbelgum is an ode to small towns, motels, and getting lifted in the club–a specific reference to that oh-so-famous strain. Stylistically, it references Chicago house & Baltimore club, while staying squarely in the bounds of modern club music, and maintaining the unique soundscape originally crafted for Mat Bira Kvinnor Weed. Shot in Nice, in southern France, by Tim Erem; the travel themed Bubbelgum video is a follow up to the cooking show madness of last year’s Mat Bira Kvinnor Weed video. Following the video is a preview of B-side “Jexpert” featuring the subject matter–Jexpert himself.

    Bubbelgum is out now on bandcamp (and everywhere else), with remixes from Sam Tiba, Rebecca & Fiona, L-Wiz, and Carli himself.

  • Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie xx – We’re New Here

    We’re New Here – Jamie xx’s remix project with Gil Scott-Heron, was released last week. Heron’s voice becomes something totally new atop Jamie’s production. This is worth a listen.

  • Stagga – Genik Riddim ft. Skamma & Joe Blow

    Stagga – “Genik Riddim” ft. Skamma & Joe Blow

    Stagga’s been pumping out OG dubstep for a while now, and he’s got the testosterone-fueled death wobble sound on lock. However, it wasn’t until I encountered tracks like “Rub On Ya Bass Binz” and “Face Gets Splat” that peripheral interest became pure, unadulterated love. This new collab with Joe Blow and Skamma is a propa chune. It’s nice and minimal, but with a jerky, off-time quality to the rhythm that makes the producer’s moniker all the more appropriate.

  • Sepalcure – Fleur

    Machinedrum and Praveen’s collaborative project, Sepalcure, is back with Fleur. Driven largely by crisp 2-step rhythms and lush atmospherics, this one is worth your money. Also check out their recent remix for the London-based group of Spaniards, Crystal Fighters.

    Crystal Fighters – “In The Summer” (Sepalcure Dub) (sc)

  • DJ Orion – Animus

    Thank the god for the internet. Now that we can ustream basement grime parties in Shoreditch from the comfort of our New York apartments, find Shangaan electro music videos on youtube, and get ahold of fresh cumbia techno records made by adolescent boys at the moment they drop in Monterrey, there’s not a lot of real detective work left to be done for most DJs. Borders between genres of dance music blur as the auras of provinciality deteriorate with exposure, and classifications like “global bass” and “tropical” are being taken seriously, for better or for worse. As a DJ, one way to respond to this chaos is to take a purist attitude: to let juke be juke and reggaeton be reggaeton, even though that Tego Calderon track would sound really sweet with triplet toms and an 808 hi-hat roll. The other way to go is to just surf the post-modern wave into the hyperreal, slapping whatever sounds god together and hoping things turn out alright in the end. That’s what DJ Orion has been doing for a while now. His new Animus EP cuts up 3ball guarachero and splices it together with brostep standards and some Nola bounce for good measure. You’ll either adore this or hate it. If you like it, check out Orion’s bmore/cumbia record Carajo Colombia too.

  • Saadi + Douster

    Saadi is current with a new single. Clocking in at just under 2 minutes, “Clotheslines” is short and sweet. A sort of melancholy and final farewell to summer. The single comes with remixes, including a superb dub by our friend Douster.

    Those of you in New York should check out the release party at Ella this Wednesday, with sets from hometown heroes Cheif Boima and Uproot Andy.

  • Electric Sea Spider – Tumbleweed

    Everyone has their own take on how the independent music industry (if that’s even an appropriate term anymore) is going to sustain itself in this new decade. Some people say artists will make most of their money touring. Some people claim they can continue to support themselves with record sales (most of those people aren’t artists). Up-and-comings leak their records first, let the internet media dust settle, and then take them to the distributors. And then there are those reckless few who just release everything for free and feed their empty bellies with blog love and compliments. They may be lying on cots in their mothers’ basements like 19th century Russian consumptives, smoking Top tobacco and smiling into the pallid glow of their Macbooks. Jim Sellars, the young Australian behind Electric Sea Spider, is one of those people (except for that last part, I’m just speculating). has taken the producer away from the reverbed emotional lethargy of The Thief (2009) and the trippy ambiance of Fear God Fear Satan (2008) and In Lucid Dreams (2009), toward a more shuffled post-Dilla stumble that could be compared to the likes of Baths and Slumgullion.

    Electric Sea Spider – “Tumbleweed” (bc)

    Download the record for free on bandcamp.

    From the future: as far as I can tell, Sellars continues to make music as Electric Sea Spider, but he’s also been making some extremely captivating music as Yunzero.

  • Busy Signal Jumps On Owl City and Alphaville

    I don’t know where Busy Signal is getting all these instrumentals. One could imagine him running through the halls of Warner Brothers with a burlap sack full of studio tapes slung over his shoulder. I can’t think of a single other artist in hip hop, dancehall or reggaeton who so avidly jumps to voice over the dubs from just about anything that blows up on the radio. Let’s just say, “Big up Owl City” is not a phrase you hear every day.
