On this full moon in nurturing Cancer, @bezier captures and releases the effervescent force we need to inspire and sustain us in this strange season of annual rebirth. Percussive rhythm and flow capture the structured energy of saturnalian domme Capricorn, while textured breaks hint at Venus' current position in Aquarius – reminding us that rules are made to be tested – everything is cyclical, and yet novelty is a constant calling. Enjoy this gorgeous and energetic start to 2023, hatch plans, and soak up the secure lunar warmth of Cancer, which reminds us of who we are, and where we belong, even in the depths of Winter 🦀 

"I chose to present an energetic mix. Capricorn’s ruler Saturn is the taskmaster. We need a lot of pep and charge to get through the harsh January conditions so we can complete our mission. Saturn is a hard, dominating presence requiring discipline and direction. You need to ask for help from your friends and comfortable familiars to navigate all the obstacles Saturn throws at you. This is where the full moon in Cancer comes in. The full moon during Capricorn is where you need to look for guidance and inspiration to complete all odds and ends before the next new moon. Cancer rules the home, and the environment that nurtures you. A lot of tracks here represent a lot of artists and collectives that have influenced and inspired me over the years as a music producer and DJ. My friends are my family and home. It is an honor to represent them here in this mix."

Traxx Presents: Street Sounds.Emcees & Producers of The 80s 90s into the 2000s

PRE-ORDER: http://www.darkentriesrecords.com/store/dark-entries/joe-crow-compulsion-ep/

Joe Crow is a post-punk musician from Birmingham, England. He was a member of legendary Brum band The Prefects, & hung on long enough after the name-change to appear on a couple of early Nightingales singles. In 1981 Joe began his solo career and recorded a 2-song demo “Compulsion” and “Absent Friends”. Joe sent copies of the finished recordings to Cherry Red, who thanks to Lawrence of Felt, ended up releasing the single in 1982. An edited version of the single would later appear on the compilation “Pillows & Prayers” that collected songs which originated as 45s or EPs. Martin Gore of Depeche Mode subsequently covered “Compulsion” on his ‘Counterfeit' EP in 1989 forever solidifying its status in the cannon of UK melancholic synth pop . 

“Compulsion” and “Absent Friends” were originally intended as a double A-side. Composed, performed and recorded by Joe on an 8-track reel-to-reel at Sinewave Studio, Moseley Village in February 1981 and were engineered by Al McKerchar. Joe plays everything: guitar, bass, Boss Dr. Rhythm, Bee Gees Rhythm Machine, Wasp synthesizer, bongos stuffed with towels and an old tin tray for a snare drum. Everything was borrowed. “Compulsion” is an imaginary suicide note, a meditation on loss and grief. Its dark twin “Absent Friends” is an anti-song: no verses, choruses or middle-eight, some willfully odd chord progressions and plaintive yet melodic keyboard motif.  Both songs are a spectral hybrid of alternating childlike and cynical vocals over lo-tech basement electronics with profound lyrics. This expanded 12” reissue adds 3 unreleased bonus tracks on the B-side taken from a mini-album of nine songs, recorded at the same time as “Compulsion”. Originally titled “Ken Blagdon Sings” with music by Joe Crow and lyrics by photographer Brendan Jackson, as a birthday present to the latter's girlfriend, Jacqui Neave. The whole session lasted one day and the line up was Brendan Jackson (alias Ken Blagdon; vocals/percussion), Joe Crow (vocals/bass/guitar/Boss Dr. Rhythm/Wasp synthesizer), Mark Rowson (drums), Helen Rowson (alto saxophone), Eamonn Duffy (Nightingales bassist; squawks) and Legs Akimbo (technicals). 

All songs have been remastered from the original master tapes for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The jacket is an exact replica of the 1982 edition enlarged for the 12” format, featuring front and back photos of Joe from a dawn beach shoot at Hayling Island, Hampshire, England. Each copy includes a two-sided newsprint insert with lyrics, never-before-seen photos and liner notes by Joe Crow and Robert Lloyd of the Nightingales. These songs are perfect new wave / post-punk tracks, full of attitude and dark romanticism.

Don't Let Go

When the culture of hip-hop first began to take shape in the 1970s, 
it consisted of at least four fundamental elements: 
deejaying, emceeing, graffiti, and breaking.

Breaking, popularly known as breakdancing today, was created 
in the Bronx in New York City. The term breakdancing as it’s used 
in the media often mixes New York’s b-boying and West Coast–developed dance styles like popping, locking, and the electric boogaloo. B-boy dance moves are influenced by a number of cultural sources, including African-American and Afro-Caribbean music, kung fu, and capoeira.

Breaking reached peak popularity in the mid-1980s, when a 
number of films showcased the moves and the youth who created it. 
Breaking began as a mode of self-expression; it was a part of a larger culture that reflected the social, economic, and political conditions of the youth at that time. Now, decades later, as the style and moves of breaking have changed, so have some of its traditions.

have a listen to this mini selection of vintage grooves from its humble beginnings.
