CROWBOY

after more than 15 inactive years. Blancmange are back. Cage & Aviary deliver a solid rework, far above the original. the die is cast. the year is ended. no resolution.

BETWEEN ROUGH AND CHEAP

Christmas before Christmas with this intricate mix from White Light podcast serie. and presented by It's A Fine Line :

"We are not sure how describe the music we make, least the records played here. Is there a real point, beyond arrogance, to such descriptions anyway? We are sure you will be able to deal with the silent track list though; we did not want hide things, we just wanted you to look for them."

RIDE

outstanding these last years, Siskid, the mancunian, is back with a new project called David Shaw and the beat. while waiting, one of the rare remixes from the beast. let the poison invade you.

BLOODY WEAPONS

after two solid release and a bunch of killer edits/remixes. i'm pretty sure than these Tel-Aviv, ex rockstars, producers are at present my favorite Israeli producers (disabuse you sirs, if you think that the competition is low). they are able to do tasty nu-deepsco, proto-disco-rock or whatever you want. keep an eye opened during your sleep.

ASH RA

you looking for an autobahn soundtrack whereas you are alone under a starry sky ? this track provided by, not the most famous krautrock face, Haral Grosskopf, is for you. member of some mystical bands, his debut album has been reissued, accompanied with a dozen of remixes, by RVNG Intl. in 2011.

TECHNIQUES ETHNIQUES

this Sam Tiba's mix, escaped from his northern Club Cheval gang, has been appointed by the parisian Quai Branly museum. like a kind of mirror, it contains a certain number of tracks discovered during my various music call explorations. from Mongolia to Indonesia, from Ethiopia to Bulgaria, from Argentina to Korea, et cetera.

SEIT 1916

if you are around Barcelona, make sure to do (after a few mojitos) a bend towards the Nitsa, where Marc is resident. and don't miss, the best spanish dj at the moment. ok, this sentence sounds a bit like an advertising for a lottery but it's a fact. and i advise to the last ones reluctant to listen to his mixes. and for the resistance, this spinash edit.

PUMPED

just before their new lp (cut in several episodes) Julien Briffaz & Cosmo Vitelli bring you this mustached edit, the first one of a new serie called "Edit Service" from I'm a cliché. be sure to check what is floating around - semimonthly - close friends will operate too. and guess what is under the skin.

INTERNATIONAL PEOPLES GANG

alongside of Comeme, International Feel stay one of my personal safe values when it's question of south america musica. since, already, three years (intense) in the game, the uruguaian label celebrate its candles with a selection of finest.

LOSING MY HEAD

Chloé & Kristina demonstrate than unmixed records could be better than mixed. and than disco is not all about Moroder or Boney M (line the useless mention).

NÖRDIK GHOST

to say the truth, my finnish music knowledge is far to be my strength. except some "nen" end name and some tricks (just to impress) here and there.. i can just pointing you on the remixers, often involved in interesting deal. i let you estimate this slowed footprint in the snow.

NIGHTMARES

CRACKBOY

this is the proof than an adjusted shootin can turn a folk ballad into a weird reggae trip.
after long years hidden behind trees, the wind turned and Krikor is now in the target, under another face. and for a good time. and, just in case if you are not warned, it's the hunting season !

HIPPIE DANCE

Superpitcher & Rebolledo was, this week, in the excellent Tim Sweeney's radio show, Beats In Space. Just in time before the release of their first LP. Set your legs on fire.

TIME AXIS MANIPULATION CORPORATION

after having crossed a plenty of (chan)galaxies under different monikers, Mike Silver is finally back, a few years ago, as Mickey Moonlight. the last but not least. sugared pop, tropicalia escapes, various experimentations and even a re-take of Sun Ra, he finally released his first lp. the following misled piece is probably from this one. take a cosmic ride off.

THE VAULT IS REOPEN

even if the name is a bit outdated. more than two years under morphine, the door is unlocked. all the previous dusty articles are now unavailable and let space for the unexpected. just in time, to (re)start with this first extract from the debut album of the new mexican superstar. i assume you don't need more introduction..
