Hey all, I'm just gonna post stuff I find on bandcamp sometimes. Feel free to join me.

turkish marcos valle cover


as posted in the test thread, ATA records' organ led reggae record. I kinda hate the band name, cover art and overall branding but all the tracks are pretty much perfect to my ears. most are in the mittoo/wright vein but this one is almost straight funk


track from one of frank's old mixes, all cleaned up and (legitimately? I don't wanna get into the euro-label-afro-reissue mire) reissued:

Oh and these guys. The Heavy Twelves. Don't know anything about them other than they seem to be a band, maybe duo, who took that old MRR-ADM 10 inch to heart. I don't know how I missed sniffing this out when it came out, I thought I had a radar for this kind of thing. If I had a heavy enough sounding drum recording setup this is the kind of basic-but-tough project I might go for.

Nice stuff! And love that your son makes IDM, Raj. Has he sent a demo to Rephlex yet?

Was looking through my bandcamp and can't pass over the chance to bigup one of my fav MCs, Lee Reed. New album and he's not mellowing with age at all. If you've ever wondered who still makes dope militant hip hop, look no further.

I was in need of some dope militant hip hop, thanks.

Also, cool that you have a musical family Raj. Wish I could say the same. I guess I had a shonky funk band for a while and apparently my cuz has been holed up for several years training himself deeply in ukulele (and Brazilian equivalents I can't remember the names of) to play loads of Brazilian music, but he's never recorded or sent shit. I suspect he's gotten pretty advanced as he was always talented. He used to memorize Brazilian lyrics basically phonetically, though again, I suspect he might know B. Portuguese by now just through sheer musical obsession.
 
surprise chef new album. i don't love their whole output but there's some good ones here. when I went to melbourne in 2022ish the northside records dude tried to put me onto their private press (?) first LP that isn't online, but I didn't want to try to fit any LPs in my suitcase flying home, so I just got 45s.


"Cymandre 3000" is exactly what you think

Sorcerers are a bunch of brits doing pretty decent recent ethio jazz inspired stuff, but in departing further from their influences I think it gets more interesting. It reminds me of how that first Whitefield brothers album first blew me away - the appeal wasn't in pitch-perfect imitation of the music that inspired the stuff, it was in its modulation. I reckon likewise with sampling, really.
 
three mixtapes of sinister 808 sounds. it's great. I don't quite get this label. I suspect it's basically german guys finding non-german DJs and the like to do these hard hitting mixes and send them to germany, where the german dudes real-time dub a bunch of tapes of each one. I can't get my head around mixes like these (and Pistol Whip, maybe my favorite on the label) being actually done by some german guy who's just really into memphis rap and dark 808s and the like. But if the Poets of Rhythm have taught me anything it's to not be surprised by obsessive germans.
