Here's the weekly digest thread of my #OPM post: 5 writeups of new (to you, probably) artists and #music for your listening pleasure. #Rock, several flavors of #ambient and #NewAge and more await you within!
Of course, you can read the whole thing, with longer writeups than fit in a single post, here:
Dark, atmospheric electronic meditations that live in the realms of #breakbeat#ambient, if that is a thing. “Swallow It Up” is a skeletal beat hung with shards of synth textures for the first half before adding another layer or two of percussion and something like a minimal bassline. Spare and haunting. Closing track “For Dad” is a distillation of old-school #electronica channeled into a soundtrack for late-night drives.
After discovering that it was likely Malcolm Catto that performed live drums during a DJ Shadow performance I saw long ago via this video, I discovered that he’s played on several records I’ve enjoyed over the years. Now I’m listening to his rewarding Heliocentric albums.
there's a new mixtape I did for Bass, Breaks 'N Flow and their Insomniac radio show. One hour breaky electronic music put together, available for listening here:
my new Fysen EP releases this Friday and today we gonna have a listen party on Bandcamp. It will start at 7pm CET (Berlin) time. I will be available in the chat, if you wanna join please check here:
Ce weekend c'était #concert au Black Lab pour Al'Tarba et Senbeï qui présentaient leur album Rogue Monsters II
Pas pile dans mon genre, je savais qu'on était entre #electro et #hiphop, et ça basculait parfois #breakbeat ou même #punkrock, mais en tout cas c'était plein d'énergie !
there's a new remix out for my track Hawa by Norwegian producer Tater Andersson.
He took my track more into the club corner and if you like some growling basslines
and lo-fi beats it's maybe something for you. He produced the remix entirely on his MPC:
Released in 1997, 'Smack My Bitch Up' by The Prodigy, from 'The Fat of the Land', sparked debate. Its video was banned for explicit content, yet the track remains a defining big beat anthem, showcasing the band's innovative sound.
Thanks for checking out my first full-length album which is out today*. I kind of made it by accident but as I usually overthink things that made a nice change.
In 1969, an American soul group based out of D.C. recorded the song "Amen, Brother". Halfway-ish through the track, the band pauses to let the drummer, G.C. Coleman, perform a solo. This 7 second solo went on to influence (or outright create) #HipHop, #Jungle, #DrumAndBass, #Breakbeat, and much more.
They were The Winstons, they created the Amen Break that completely changed modern music, and they got next to nothing for it.
If you don't have a bandcamp collection these are pretty useless to you, however, fret not, you can jump over to my BC and pop zero in the payfield to cop whatever you want.
If you are reading this in the future and the codes for the release you dig are all claimed, hmu and I'll see if I can sort you out.
this track is called "Numb" and is from the EP "Power Of The Silent Void" (which is name your price on #BandCamp)
I still quite dig this track some three years later.
Pop zero in the payfield to cop this, (or indeed any of my releases), and should you find yourself with a spare dollar at the end of the day, please consider donating to a bail fund instead.
