JOAKIM - Watermelon Bubblicious

JOAKIM - Watermelon Bubblicious (Versatile France) Comentários: After some heavy remixes job, Joakim is back with his own music. Before releasing his album (Milky ways) in september, here are two cuts which will be released only on 12″ and digital. While Nebula Laughter is an epic journey influenced by Italo, and played live by the Disco (the band Joakim is using for live and his recordings). He manages the perfect blend between live and sequences.Watermelon Bubblicious is the one for the dancefloors. Between Alter Ego and bangin Electro, you will recognize what is the trademark of Joakim… in wordandsound [Para Ouvir/Samples 1] [2]

BODYCODE - Immune

BODYCODE - Immune (Spectral Sound) Comentários: There's no shortage of love for Bodycode in the Boomkat office. Between his Portable and Bodycode pseudonyms Alan Abrahams has consistently delivered some of the most intriguing, funky and genuinely deep house music of the last 10 years. 'Immune' follows from his highly sought after 'Conservation Of Electric Charge' set on Spectral some 3 years ago with a nine track album running fathoms deep into heartfelt Chicago house tributes with an irresistable Afro-rhythmic edge. Take the reverbed keys and chopped dialects of 'Hyperlight' for a warm welcome before settling into the rich twilight hues and gently groping bass pressure of the sublime 'I'll Hold Your Hand'. 'What Did You Say' invites Süd's Lerato to provide authentically sensual vox over a drippin' Chicago house joint, while 'Arigato' is a prime example of his fine attention to detail with ornate Japanese percussion and instruments shaped into a firm but gentle house roller. Further indulging his experimental side 'Spacial Harmonics' mixes cosmic flutes with ascending organ chords creating a spiritual connection to the Afro-cosmic Jazz of Sun-ra leaving album closer and choice deep house cut 'Immune' to win over any doubters with an ounce of soul in their bones. It all came from Africa really, didn't it? in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

DESIRE - II

DESIRE - II (Italians Do It Better) Comentários: Of all the characters in the Italians Do It Better family, Johnny Jewel is the most consistently brilliant producer and mind. His focussed vision of emotionally driven disco bleeds a sleazy and impossibly glamorous late night vibe that's hard to find anywhere else and makes his many projects so damn cherishable. Desire is the result of his latest work, still bringing the sharply honed pop sensibility and immediate hooks of his Glass Candy and Chromatics projects but this time embellished with a moodier slowdisco vibe as opposed to midnight glam. 'Montre Moi Ton Visage' rips us back to some concert venue in the early 80's with disingenuous crowd noises and heavy reverbs setting an epic scene before 'Mirroir Mirroir' turns on dark charms with lo-fi and deadpan vox from Megan Louise. It's all to his credit that you'll be beating yourself up thinking "where the f**k have I heard this before" when of course it's all original material. Following this, the simple but beautifully executed developments of 'Dans Mes Reves' will leave few heads blind to his talents, but it's the darker American allure of 'Colorless Sky' that you should be playing to your friends that need convincing. Amazing music. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

26 JUN. DUBBYMAN @ A Capela - Bairro Alto, Lisboa

DUBBYMAN [Deep Explorer Music, Madrid] José Manuel Alvarez, also known as Dubbyman, made his debut as a DJ in 1992, hidden under the name of José Vertice. Acid house, funk, drum&bass and hip hop were just some of the ingredients of his firsts sets, backed up by his collective Dogs Connected. Later incursions into dubbed house and electrofunk sounds took him to visit most important clubs in Madrid like Deep and Danzoo, while maintaining his own club, Freak. By 2002, and thanks to his new facet as a producer he became Dubbyman, moves his residency from Freak to Café Bar Las Descalzas and expands his sessions across Madrid, in clubs like Morpheus, Ohm, Taboo, Deep, Danzoo,or Goldfield and outside, in places like Le Club (Valencia), El Sol (Salamanca), Telefunken, House Café, Foxx (La Coruña), La Casa de la Música (Badajoz). In 2006 he finds the most highly recognition for his participation in Sonar festival 2006 making a powerful session mixing dub with afro music. 2007 was a year of consolidation with his showcase in Observatori Festival in Valencia and a great comeback to Sonar 2007 sharing turntables with the cream of the Dubstep UK scene (Kode 9, Oris Jay and Mary Anne Hobbs). Nowadays he and his brother Above Smoke still directs the Deep Explorer music label where their productions are released along with other Spanish artists like Robert Calvin (Turbo records), Loudest (Odori, D-Press), Gauss Control (Undress music), Tempostop (Aeróbic studio), and other international artists like Rob Paine (Worship/Philadelphia), Marvin Belton and Scott Ferguson from Ferrispark, Mike Huckaby, Nick Sole, Rick Wade, Sascha Dive etc… They'll will release their 15th record this year.

BIBIO - Ambivalence Avenue

BIBIO - Ambivalence Avenue (Warp) Comentários: The sparse output of Stephen Wilkinson aka Bibio has attracted fans like bees to the heather over the last few years with highly regarded releases on American indie imprint Mush. Catching the attention of Warp with his remix for Clark has lead to this release on the leading UK indie, fitting in nicely with the likes of BoC, HudMo or even Broadcast with a sepia tinted and beat driven take on neo-folk and grainy soundtrack styles with just a hint of (dare we say it) hauntological awareness at work. Bibio's charming appeal can be attributed to his skill for crafting beautifully naive melodies and possessing a wider scope than many involed with the oft blanched scene of neo-folk and soft-hippy rustic-psychedelia, just check the heavy DJ Premier friendly beat on 'Fire Ant' and then check the Long Lost alike 'Haikuesque (when she laughs)' with shades of West Coast Pop-psychedelia for a neat contrast. 'Sugarette' would slot in with any of the Beat Dimensions types, while tracks like 'Lovers Carvings' or 'Abrasion' will soften any stressheads with sweetened acoustic guitars and euphoric raises sounding like Tunng on a handful of happy pills. It's undeniably gorgeous and is more typically Warp than much of the stuff they're picking up on right now so we'd have to recommend it to any lovers of the classic Warp feel-good sound and fans of everyone from Ezekiel Honig to Daedelus. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

Raving ’89 – Neville & Gavin Watson, 2009

Raving '89 is a superb collection of his photographs. With 200 photos taken in the revolutionary year of 1989, this is the real deal. Hardly anyone took a camera to the raves, and the few people who did, got so bleary they left it under a speaker. Gavin Watson not only remembered his Nikon, he's also a truly world-class photographer. Gavin's rave pictures capture the experience like no others. Grubby warehouses, hands through sheets of lasers, the haircuts, the smiles, the friends, the crimes against fashion. It's a beautiful book, all wrapped up with hilarious recollections from Gavin and his brother Neville. [Raving'89 Samples Pdf]

Italians Do It Better com Tiago Miranda

Já o ano passado tínhamos abordado o assunto, a propósito de uma série de projectos portugueses (Photonz, Moulinex, Social Disco Club, etc.) que têm conhecido visibilidade no universo da música de dança internacional. Entre esses nomes estava Tiago Miranda, músico, produtor, DJ e responsável pela editora de jazz Ruby Red, pertencente a inúmeros projectos portugueses (Loosers, Gala Drop, Slight Delay, Mendes & Alçada, The Sea Power and Change, Dezperados, etc.). Depois de vários discos lançados em importantes editoras como a nova-iorquina Rong Music ou a Mindless Boogie, sabe-se agora que também a americana Italians Do It Better, um dos exemplos mais felizes de como criar uma editora a partir de uma singular identidade musical, visual e conceptual, se interessa pelos seus serviços. A editora dos Glass Candy e dos Chromatics, uma das mais "glamourosas" do momento, conhecida pelas electrónicas sensuais e voluptuosas, vai editar nas próximas semanas um EP de Tiago, resultante de uma parceria com o DJ alemão Kaos. Chama-se "Mucho swash". Recentemente, Tiago Miranda editou um outro máxi-single, "Coaster", do projecto Mendes & Alçada (Tiago + Pedro Alçada dos Coty Cream), na inglesa Claremont 56, contendo uma remistura dos ingleses Idjut Boys. Mas as novidades não se ficam por aqui. Para os próximos tempos haverá mais um máxi-single dos Mendes & Alçada ("Night of the bath") na norueguesa Internasjonal e dois EP dos Slight Delay (Tiago + DJ Al) na Eskimo, de Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, e na Rong Music, respectivamente "Can you feel it?" e "Melody Nelson". in ípsilon [12.06.2009]
