Misc

Bucky Skank is my hobby. I've loved Jamaican and Jamaican inspired / influenced music for nearly my whole musical life. I don't consider myself an expert in any way but over the years I have amassed quite a lot of this music and it is one of a very few forms of music I can listen to all day without getting bored.

I have played about a half dozen full sets of this music and it has been like learning how to dj all over again. All those sets had a slightly shambolic edge to them as I found my feet but have been wonderful, if nerve wracking fun as I scrambled in the dark to find the right 7" to play next. It's definitely not something I'd like to do all the time but doing it one or two times a year is a true joy, so a big thanks to those who have come along and danced. 

There is also the Bucky Skank label, again very much a hobby which releases a couple of 12"s each year (the first one now sold out, the second one due shortly).

Anyway, here's a two hour mix featuring some of what I played at this year's Bucky Skank in Glasgow. Half of it was recorded on the night and half after the fact, at home. Hopefully the joins aren't too noticeable. A tiny handful of the tracks were on the mix I put up a couple of years ago (The Upsetters' "Bucky Skank" will of course appear in every Bucky Skank set I do and bookends this mix albeit in different versions). if you are looking for totally obscure, ultra rare Jamaican music, this is probably not for you but if you want to hear some of the myriad sounds that have come out of that small island or that it has inspired, hopefully it will be enjoyable; plenty of hits and lots of personal favourites from across 50 years (1964 - 2014), ranging from Barrington Levy, Bim Sherman, Prince Far I and Tenor Saw to Kahn, Cutty Ranks and Lady Saw.

The mix is "augmented" with my dub siren, some space echo and Maschine being used to trigger some additional sounds and samples.

The mix is a little over two hours long, is a downloadable 256kbps mp3 and is 230mb.

Right, sit back and hit play and we'll treat you to the story of how this whole Talamanca System 12" came into being..

International Feel's founder Mark Barrott and the loveable Mr Gerd Janson and his Tuff City partner Philip Lauer were enjoying a meal at Barrot's Ibizan hideaway. During said meal Mark somehow agreed to gift his unused Studio Electronics ´Boomstar 303´ synth. The Tuff City guys then thought it would be nice to repay the loan with a remix for Mark, which eventually turned into a full collaboration and this resulting EP. 

Keep an eye out for when it hits shelves on Nov 10th.

Ian Twitchett, an old friend of FatCat and proprietor of Eye Sea Posters, brings us the 121st FatCat Records Podcast. Here's what he had to say:

"A badger’s eye view of the world. A mix that is a window into a disordered and unregulated mind. I have been collecting music since the age of 14 and have never been able to stick to one thing for too long. Still find joy in discovering something new every day and this is the main attraction of music it doesn’t matter what it is, it has the power to transform, enlighten and electrify. The mix is dedicated to a very special man James Dyer who I ran Eyeseaposters with, we both collected music passionately but had entirely different tastes and therefore collections, but we always appreciated each other’s choices, and that’s another reason I’ve always loved music and why Fatcat endures as there is something for everyone in the vaults."
