Lazpod Live #1


This is the first of a live Lazpod series Damian Lazarus is doing - this one was recorded in Hong Kong to celebrate Chinese New Year - well worth a listen if you like any of his regular Lazpods, always a bananas selection of stuff, old timey songs along with some whopper tracks. Includes short interviews with Jason Swamy (the Robot Heart guy) and Subb-an (Crosstown Rebels) who plays some sweet tunes; makes for good radio if you want something a little different:

Four Tet talks about making 'Sing' and 'Love Cry'

This only got released on Youtube a few weeks ago, but back in 2010 Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet talked to Future Music about how he made his amazing tracks 'Sing' and 'Love Cry' - breaking down the layers of each and explaining what he was up to - a little technical but easy enough to follow and also a pleasure to listen to him talk, they way it is great listening to anyone who is a total ledgebag talking about something at which they are amazing. Particularly interesting around the 39 minute mark when he talks about his signature effect where he speeds up, duplicates and reverses parts of his tracks.



And here is his track 'Sing', interesting to listen again after his explanations:



And 'Love Cry':

Les Rythmes Digitales live performances (1999)

Came across this clip of some old Les Rythmes Digitales performances, definitely brings you back to a certain time and place.

Swooner Movie Nights: Daft Punk's Interstella 5555


Getting swept up in the current Daft Punk fervour, Swooner Rather Than Hater and Portobello Picturehouse showed 'Daft Punk's Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem' last week.

Flight Facilities Triple J mix 3: 1992 - 2002 for download!


It's back! 


If you can't see the above box, click here.

In case you missed it, Flight Facilities were Triple J's Saturday night mix residents for October so they've made 4 mixes, each one covering a different decade. (This third one is 1992 - 2002). They have gone to amazing lengths for each mix, each set is chronological in order with classic tunes and modern edits, and cut with news reports of the time so it's like an awesome musical history lesson. They have been putting them together since April, and you can check out the insane amount of research they did here.

Just when I thought I couldn't like them any more than I do, they throw down this amazing hip hop set:

Tracklist:
Genesis - I Can't Dance

Tits & Clits Pleasure Zone Mix Episode 11


Any mix that opens with Miss Kittin and The Hacker's 'Frank Sinatra' tune is alright with me. A high energy selection of whopper house tunes and some disco, some heavier beats. I was very happy when I stumbled upon these amazingly named Hungarian guys. When the mix has 3000 listens they will give it as a free download. And I want to download it, so get listening! Am hoping for a tracklist in the future too, there are some distinctly Mr.Oizo style banging tracks on there as well as a sweet tune about taking a disco nap that I want to get my hands on!

I came across these guys as they did a sweet remix of Aufgang's 'Dulceria' track and I am a big Aufgang fan. Check out the remix here:

Mano Le Tough - Changing Days

I bought Mano Le Tough's new album 'Changing Days' last week and it's been on steady rotation since. I'm not one for wordy reviews, (if you want to read an excellent review of it check out Nialler 9's) but all I'll say is you should have this album in your life, and if you like John Talabot's 'fin' album, you will fucking love this. 'Please' is currently my favourite tune on it, but that changes daily:

Breakbot's RBMA Headphone Highlights show

My love for Breakbot graphically expressed as a sine function thanks to this site.

Musical french dreamboat Breakbot talks about some of the tunes that have influenced him and how he 'really likes slow jams' -  check out the sweet selection, tunes from Michael Jackson, Prince, Chic, Hall and Oates, with a couple of his own ace remixes thrown in at the end. Particularly interesting hearing that 'Baby Come Back' track by Player - you can really hear the similarities in Breakbot's work, as he admits. Swoon.

Tracklist:
1 One Out Of Two - Breakbot
2 Face to Face - Daft Punk
3 What A Fool Believes - The Doobie Brothers
4 Sarah Smile - Hall & Oates
5 PYT - Michael Jackson
6 If You Are My Man - Linda Perhacs
7 Baby Come Back - Player
8 I Wanna Be Your Lover - Prince
9 Oh Boy - Cam’ron
10 Surfer Girl - The Beach Boys
11 Give Me The Night - George Benson

13 Rock On - Jackson And His Computer Band
14 Everybody Dance - Chic
15 A Thing 4 Me (Breakbot Remix) - Metronomy
16 Let There Be Light (Breakbot Remix) - Justice

I have posted a bunch of sweet Breakbot's mixes before, check 'em out here.

I love the Headphone Highlight series. Check out John Talabot's, Kim Ann Foxman's or the one by Holy Ghost! Really interesting to hear the artists talk about their favourite tunes.

Swooner Exclusive Mix no.3: Big Dish Go's 'I Dream Of Feeney' Mix


So - it's here! Swooner's third exclusive mix - thanks to Conor and Gav Feeney at Big Dish Go. An amazing, very slick selection of tracks - that as Gav says, is 'probably the truest reflection of what we are about musically that we have ever managed to get down in a mix.' I have to agree. It's whopper beats without ever getting too filthy, banging without ever getting dark - which is how I see Big Dish Go and the music they produce and promote. In fact, there's a lovely feel to the whole mix, despite it being in major fist pump territory for the most part. Thank you guys!
