Tandy Love and Mad Smooth

Tandy Love and Mad Smooth (anagrams for Dom Thomas and Andy Votel) the geniuses of Finders Keepers crew......Both music archivists and collectors of old and rare psychedelia, jazz, R&B and rock vinyl. These two have releases under their names but do not live up to the records they used to chop an screw this gem.......All the track titles and the original artists are anagrams as well, to piss us off I think, others would call it art......anyways this is a great edit to listen to any time but I frequent it in the car....Released on the Fat City Recordings outfit, the people who brought you the "Producer" series featuring Low Limit, Mono/Poly, Mike Slott and Dabrye to name a few, this is one of my favorites and a must have for fans of The Gaslamp Killer or old Turkish, Isaeli, English, Korean, French, Spainish or Indian psychedelia and weirdness from the 60's and 70's.......if only I had a 1968 Mustang Fastback GT to listen to these nostalgic edits in I would be set for life on the real......I had thought I already posted this but came to realize I had not so without further ado.......

PANTyRAiD

Marty Party and Ooah's anticipated debut release kind of surprised me.....I thought it was gonna be ALL glitched out wonky bass heavy tunes, not to say there isn't some of that, but overall there are some really good tracks. Some slow melodic dubstepy tracks and others that take a page out of the Glitch Mob playbook......overall a must have for any Glitch Mob or Ooah fan and deifnetely worth the download for the surprisingly coherent and well produced album....

Hudson Mohawke

It took a month or two of searching and digging but I finally found it. Set to be released October 26th, HudMo's Butter is the cleanest and most comprehensive of all HudMo releases, in my opinion. The production is spot on and the tracks, some weak others sick, are arranged and mastered with precision and obvious dedication. I don't undertand the Olivier Daysoul tracks but the Dam-Funk track, of course I love, hes on the vocals, and the Nadsroic track was also featured on her Room Mist EP I posted a few months back. I am happy I was able to find it this early and hope you all will enjoy it as much as I do.....classic HudMo with better production quality but new sounds and landscapes......

Georgia Anne Muldrow

The newest album from the princess of soul Georgia Anne Muldrow......Though not the Stones Throw release, which I unfortunately cannot find, Georgia Anne has solidfied her space in history as the first female act signed to the label which saw her "Olesi" release. She is quite a busy lady running her own record label, ePistrophik Peach Sound, with long time collaborator Dudley Perkins (Declaime) and producing all of its modern soul, funk and hip-hop staples. She has been featured on the albums of such artists as DJ Mitsu, Erykah Badu, Eagle Nebula, Stacy Epps, Oddisee and even produced the transcendent ballad, Roses, on Mos Def's newest album The Ecstatic. I have been meaning to post this for awhile but considering my recent obsession with everything funk and soul seems appropriate now....

Wavelength

You might be wondering why there is a picture of Dam-Funk under a post entitled Wavelength......well thats because Wavelength is Dam-Funk and Dam-Funk is Wavelength......I have done some investigating and found that this moniker is quite mysterious and seems to be the only other name he operates under......This is the only release under this title that I know of I encourage anyone to let me know if there are any others but as always I feel I am quite alone on this blog so I am not gonna hold my breathe......

Kryptic Minds

I cannot remember whether or not I posted the EP Six Degrees/One Of Us on here.....either way Kryptic Minds are tearing it up on this debut album, the first major LP released on Swamp 81 records....Deep, dark, brooding dubstep rhythms and beats here sure to knock your socks off......The official release is week from yesterday but my impatient nature has once again got the best of me.......Kryptic Minds is about to blow up after this release so watch out for these two in 2010......

The Gaslamp Killer

This, and My Troubled Mind EP, are my favorite GLK projects. With vocals by Gonja Sufi, GLK takes his sound to a whole nother level. I listen to this at least once a week if not more definitely on rotation all the time......It was released in 2007 and includes Birthday Music which is on My Troubled Mind EP. I have been wanting to share this for awhile now but have just now got around to it. Another note, the picture above was orignially a well-known Nazi propagandha poster against the United States in the latter part of WWII....you should look up the orignal image and its depiction quite remarkable......

There are few albums that I really like EVERY song but I like EVERY song on this album all ten tracks are sick.....if you are not feeling the modern funk thing this is not for you but I assure this album might change your mind.......check out the other dudes from highsteppin' where they have this LP and two others from Jinesis and Prickly Pear as well as a plethora of free jazzyfunkysynthydisco mixtapes. A sweet record company all around check check it....anyways here is.....

Mary Anne Hobbs

This is the third of Mary Anne Hobbs compilations for Planet Mu records and I MAY go as far to say as its the best but the jury is not in on this one.....Warrior Dubz and Evangeline, the two previous comps, focus more on dark electronic and dubstep sound whereas Wild Angels has more hip-hop, broken beats, future soul and lighter dubstep tunes. As always, the artists selected for the compilations are the who's who of electronic music and frequently appear on her show for BBC Radio 1. This is one compilation not to sleep on and if you can scoop the previous two as well they are just as hot......

NON & Herrmutt Lobby

This was a Japan only release but of course I had to snag it.....anyways NON on the raps Lobby on the production....This album is an eclectic mix of 8-bit beats, funk and flat out old school hip-hop proper. Hits heavy and bumps hard definitely a good listen and all around nice and rare pick up highly recommended for those SamiYam, Quarta 3030 and Dibiase fans. Though American most of both of their releases are on European and Japanese outfits leading to remixes by both Rustie and HudMo......

Master Blazter

This is probably the best podcast I own right now. This is a live, IMPROVISED, set from Dam-Funk, Computer Jay and J-1, otherwise known as Master Blazter, at the HVW8 gallery in December of 2008. With Dam-Funk on Mirco Korg synthesizer, Roland Juno synthesizer, Sequential Circuits Drum machine and his voice......Computer Jay on Fender Rhodes- mark X (Customized.. One of a kind), Moog Opus, Micro Moog and the Moogodore (Custom piece- It's a circuit bent Commodore 64 designed to have controls like an analog synth.. Then it runs it thru several MoogerFooger pedals. Hence the name Moogodore)...and J-1 on a standard drum kit this is not your run of the mill DJ set. I have to say this is something special......As it stands, Master Blazter is just an improv crew but upon further research I found that an album may be in the works on Heavyweight Productions (HVW8), which would make my life complete. SHIT IS HOT!

Booka Shade

I have not been listening to as much straight up techno and house as I may have had in the past but I stumbled upon this gem looking through my catalog the other day and wondered why I have been so close minded....I mean to be honest it not my favorite genre of electronic music but Booka Shade throws down in a not so conventional house DJ/producer style....The duo is known for their extremely loud and rawkus live shows but does not prescribe to the typically "ootz ootz ootz" common in a lot club DJs.......they take sounds from across the spectrum of electronic music to create their unique take on house music...This album was released in 2006 I believe so its a little dated but still quite relevant......

Blue Sky Black Death

Blue Sky Black Death is the shit....This release came out in April 2008 but I believe is one of their best releases to date....Their Lost and Unreleased album came out for free a couple weeks ago and is good but I like this one better......They are not your typical beatmakers and really have pushed the instrumental hip-hop game to new heights......

Teebs

Teebs is a member of the now notorious Brainfeeder crew. He has said for some time now that he has a CDR ready for copping but did not have the cord to plug his camera into his computer to retreive the cover art......excuses excuses........but not all is lost......last week at The Crosby in Santa Ana, CA (The OC for all you cool kids) Teebs distibuted 50 CDR copies of his original material....prior to this I had one Teebs mix, which is from MAH in April of this year and is also the first track on here thats 15:44, and one track he accompanied Jackhigh on so needless to say I was all about copping this and for good reason its sick! All the tracks are untitled, a little vexing, but the caliber of music trumps any woes I had with his decision to leave them unnamed.
