He's Dance 2.0

There's a swirling community of local musicians that fall in and out of favours with each other. Assisting one on vocals with this solo project, assisting in the live piece of that band, playing pseudo-producer on their record and punting for this label meanwhile working on rocking your own material. No doubt under the "it" posse of Modular and the related Cutters Records krew, Ben Browning is indeed playing the nu-musical chairs (pun intended).



Talking to GLOVES a.k.a Yama Indra, at his EP launch, Ben's assistance on his PYX" EP was quite substantial for a good friend and past band member. Supplying vocals on the B-side, aiding the instrumentals and even equipping the titular track with his own remix. It's the most news I've heard about Ben for some time after hearing his own material back in June. According to Yama, work with Ben is a time intensive activity, whereby bottles of wine every other session both prolongs and enhances the creative process. For an ex-guitarist/vocalist for both Damn Arms and Cut Copy, personal wunder bands of mine, and helping out on the ripper GLOVES moniker of Yama, Im not surprised I've re-discovered his original tunes I had lurking in the back-alleys of my library and really enjoyed them. They reflect the GLOVES production of "Psy-trance bushdoof" and coalesce with the tone of Cut Copy and the impulse of Damn Arms. Go figure.

Check his myspace for a few gem tracks I don't have like the sax soothed 'Beach' and inexorable delight of 'Clutch', but in the meantime I'll be waiting diligently for an actual release of his own work. Even if that involves a collaborative joint on GLOVES' future album or another Cutters Records production. My ears are open.

Avenue Awesome please.




"I like my music very fruity. Lots of percussion, lots of silly effects," explains Todd Terje. "But I still need that dubbiness and spaciousness. It's a strange combination." 


Had a blast a while back now, attempting to compile some works of Todd Terje and his eponymous Disco stocks. The Norwegian is a master of the simple 'rekutts' and extended edits of some great tropically blended and disco scented songs that burn the dance floor with 'get down' actions and flame drizzled crusades of the boogie kind. These tracks are not flashes of brilliance in overlayed tonal assualts. Rather, Todd Terje deems the song perfect to the point of making it friendly for the new local disco. Which sometimes, just means a more dignified beat and baseline that twitches the hips. Any good night out of mine would involve a good Todd Terje rendition on the DF or during the pre-drinks game. Fun all around.


First Track is the scintillating big gal Chaka Khan with the famously sampled intro & outro, that fools many a club dancers. Also thrown in, a personal disco delight with signature dance move not included.




Burn et Upa!

Oh no he didn't!




Let's get tropical!


Tofu grated onto a spiced horchata with rice milk soup topped with a coriander garnish.


something like that..


Hugo, the cousin of Bang Gang's Gus, cleverly devised his moniker "U-Go-B" after a lengthy process that involved reflections upon his own name and its position in the contemporary climate of typography and linguistics. Enough on the name, the bloodlines run deep, as Hugo has acquested the french touch pianist of all shapes and sounds, Gonzales with a "Disco D-J friendly" dose that will have you jiving out in the corridor. Your on your way to flying shortly there after.


He's also put out a series of mixtapes (its an love affair) with his most recent installments, 'Another Galaxy' arriving in two parts, in December '08 and March of this year. A tad old, but its the deep cuts that makes the 2nd part, a standout resolved series of chillah moods and relaxed beats, an ephemeral sensation that hangs over like a star-gazing tropical night.

And while on the topic of the tropics, the bonus track of Basement Jaxx new 'Scare' fits the bill of some Summer-party-rap meets tropic flight filled piano riffs that reverb that night you lay out in the heat at some party. Fills that void very nicely.

Everybody Loves You!




Vega.


Alan Palomo Delivers on his own personal side project which joins Neon Indian in his ranks of musical repertoire. Vega will ultimately resonate most strongly with all of whom appreciate Miami Horror. With a not too dissimilar production in terms of vibes and sounds, they are also good friends over the interwebys. Ben from MH brought Alan out to oz briefly earlier this year in May. Hopefully when Neon Indian come down under in Jan, with all their glo-fi glory, VEGA will make a night only appearance. Supported by Miami Horror. It's worth wishing for. It's worth dreaming of.


No Reasons - VEGA


Sometimes - Miami Horror (Pure summerlike, unadulterated bliss)


VEGA mixtape backstory:  "This was made in a single unit surrounded by kangaroos on the outskirts of Melbourne working with my dear friend Miami Horror. The frantic sound of hopping brought to mind the similar bubbling of arpeggiated basslines and bouncing tom fills. They made the mix; I was merely dictated by their beat-juggling nature. This mix also premieres my track 'Kyoto Gardens.' Enjoy! Or don’t." - AP

Captaining your new adventure.



We've been abit slow between posts - Ollie is next to non-existent at this moment in time. Never Fear, however, he's still around. Hiding in the wings. Parklife post-op (Polaroids) will be up this week (finally!) but in the meantime i'll just get around to posting a few of the TVITC finds of the interweb of recent.


Here's an oddball track from Charlotte Gainsbourg with the helping oddity of Beck and his procurement of collaboration. Inspired by her numerous experiences inside MRI machines.


Charlotte Gainsbourg feat. Beck - IRM


I have also for you a timely gadget track from 'Parklife heroes' Aeroplane as they remix Allez Allez's titular track. A hidden gem, it sparkles out of mundane wonders when it pops up on your ipod while walking in the city. Its got that type of rhythm and hue that energises the mass-urban environment that sweeps you and your fellow pedestrians by. Easy listening.


Allez Allez - Allez Allez (Aeroplane Remix)


And lastly, from the developing darkening discog depths of Lifelike, comes his remix of Demon. Another yearning for the dancefloor where bodies dominant and the echo of the night rings loud. Typical Lifelike at his remixery best.


Demon - Happy Therapy (Lifelike Remix)

Completely randomly selected by automation - yet on purpose, to set you in the right direction for the long weekend.
