Yesterday I sat down and started with something I should have done a long time ago, I copied some old tracks from CD to mp3. The plan is to post the better ones on here and I’ll kick things of with these two tracks which were released in 2002 on the now defunct, or at least in indefinite hiatus, french record label called We Rock Music. Romain Séo’s (aka Raw Man from The Buffalo Bunch) ran the label and is also the man behind these two brilliant filtered house tracks.
Of the two I prefer the slower Time Limited, but the tempo makes it a bit difficult to drop in a house set. Not impossible of course so you’ll just have to try harder! Body Angel is the type of track I’d love to play an edit of. It’s a great little number but it gets its point across in the first four minutes and could do with a quick mix out or a shorter version.
I’ve been listening to all the low quality mp3s I could find for a while now but the debut album from N.A.S.A (aka Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon) was finally released yesterday. It’s full of crazy collaborations such as ‘Gifted’ with Lykke Li, Santogold and Kanye West. Both the debut single ‘Spacious Thought’ and the video for Money has been all over the internet for a while now, but in case you’ve missed them here they are again.
This is a remix of Fat Freddy Drops – Del Fuego from 2006 by an old friend of mine, Carl Borg. He just uploaded it to SoundCloud and I hadn’t actually heard it until today. It’s a very calm and fluffy little piece with some soft late night-ish vocals Exactly what I needed to hear at the end of a long work day. You can buy both the original and Carl’s remix on Sonar Kollektiv’s website.
Check out the audio app towards the end of the video. I’ve had a lot of fun playing around with the Kaossilator but there would be so many more possibilities with the Siftables.
Update: Video of the music sequencer without the other stuff.
