She aimed her headlight at the ominous piece of vinyl jutting out of the debris. 

"What about this one, Boss?" 

Sarah carefully pulled the record out and balanced it on on her hand. The black piece of wax was scratched in several places. The label sticker was scuffed and discoloured as well.

"I can't read it sir. The lettering is faded."

"Well spell it out then, you dimwit." 

He seemed rushed today.

"Uhmm... B...O?... b.... no that's a big B... and then  MARL... and then this is scratched out... but it ends with a Y."

Her manager walked over and took a cursory glance at the fragment. 

"Leftovers. Toss them in the incinerator on your way out." Her manager walked out the door without turning his head.

Leftovers. That what they called tracks that did not fit the Modulator Mainframe. She knew her job was sacred in keeping society civil; without her to vet and sort the records, the Mainframe would fail and productivity would be cut drastically without warning. Eventually, there would be rioting on the streets. 

Folk, world, reggae, disco, jazz, classical, and rock n' roll music were wiped out during the Great Purge of the 2050's; there has not been a single record sighting in those genres for over a decade. In an attempt to establish their iron-fist rule over the still habitable areas of our planet, the New World Government decreed that all traces of humanity's musical legacy would be erased. By controlling unsanctioned music that could be used by the populace to break free of their emotional will, the NWG would have a better leash in enacting policies and enforcing laws that would suit their own selfish needs. 

The Berlin and New York riots started first, but then spread to other cities. In response, NWG responded swiftly and brutally: hundreds dead, thousands locked up and thousands more missing. Record stores were ransacked and cleared of their inventory by zealous purists. Those same purists were caught and executed in broad daylight. Anything that sounded old or nostalgic was immediately destroyed. Music that was deemed suitable for emotive modulation was collected and fed into the mainframe: a system of oppression used by the NWG against us.

Trance records were abundant, and they always went to the physical labourers. The eggheads found that the workers were more efficient when exposed to hard driving basses juxtaposed with soaring synths. The engineers and scientists got stuck with techno; it was suppose to "stimulate" them. The comfort women had house. Civil Enforcement had trap tracks. The Army were trained exclusively on Drum 'n Bass; they fought while jacked on hard style and dub step. The High Order of the NWG were the only ones that were allow to listen to "hep-hop" (the Head Archivist mentioned when the illustrious one visited our Musiq Faktory last month). 

Leftovers. She held the record in her hand and scrutinized the vinyl more closely. The audio was probably still retrievable. Her manager probably saw that the record wasn't salvageable and decided that today he would head out earlier today to his modulator chamber for a long techno decompression session. 

She quickly drew her NeedleWand and scratched the record; she had hoped  that she could get at least a few musical phrases. To her amazement, her audio receiver started picking up a beautiful melody...

Definitely not from around here, she thought. Usually she would end up with scratched house records, broken pieces of disco vinyl, or fragments of an archaic digital disc (which she had no way of using). The sounds reproduced were often of atrocious quality. Today was her lucky day though; she was listening to a ten second song of something she has never heard before.

Looking left and right anxiously, she quickly tucked the record in her work bag. She then opened and closed the incinerator door forcefully.

2016 - best re-releases

Happy go go

Rootikal's David Hill and Ashley Beedle travel back in time to the post-ska, rocksteady sounds from the long hot summer of '67 with their mix of Cornell Campbell's 'There's A Fire.' 

Utilizing The Soothsayers' horns parts from the original album cut (on Cornell Campbell meets Soothsayers Nothing Can Stop Us Now on Strut), and of course the wonderful lead vocals, Rootikal deliver an authentic slice of vintage Jamaican lawn-dance music.

Think Studio One and Treasure Isle – glorious, bumping, soul-drenched tunes from the likes Slim Smith, Alton Ellis and Phyllis Dillon, and you won't be far off.

Scheduled for release in October on a Strut 45, which will also carry the version.

The full Nothing Can Stop Us album is available now:
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nothing-Cornell-Meets-Soothsayers-Campbell/dp/B00CLUCOZ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375799272&sr=8-1&keywords=cornell+campbell+soothsayers" target="_blank">Amazon</a> • <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/album/nothing-can-stop-us-cornell/id659305750" target="_blank">iTunes</a> • <a href="http://strut.greedbag.com/buy/nothing-can-stop-us-1/" target="_blank">Strut Store</a>

Founded by saxophonist Carmin Bichotte in the summer of 1967 in the Carrefour suburb of Port au Prince, Les Fantaisistes celebrated their more egalitarian roots and promoted themselves in opposition to the more uptown milieu of groups like Les Shleu Shleu, scoring numerous hits with lead singer Ricot Mazarin. The spaced-out "Panno Caye Nan Bois Chêne" - with vocals by Haitian singer and poet Ansy Derose - is taken from an album recorded whilst on tour in Guadeloupe in the early 70s and riffs on the local biguine rhythm to haunting effect.

William Onyeabor vs. Hot Chip - Atomic Bomb

Writer Of Films - THE PROJECT

Its been Local Talk bosses Mad Mats & Toolis secret weapon during their DJ sets over the past months and have destroyed clubs from London to Berlin. With a super catchy chord theme, bumpy 4/4 beats and a slight UK feel this is as bad as it gets. Its just one of those tunes you immediately recognize and can relate with. 

Together with a deep journey house remix from AD Bourke and a fierce UK inspired bass/house mix from Colognes HADE we dare to say that this is one the finest releases on Local Talk so far.

Die Donnergötter (The Thundergods)

Very few musical acts achieve the levels of unanimous acclaim of Autechre. The English duo of Rob Brown and Sean Booth are not an act you simply like; they are an act you love, fawn over and dream about. They’ve got themselves here over the course of the last 28 years, and have done so by amassing a discography that’s about as perfect, influential and accomplished as could ever be possible. A key Warp label act from day one, they have released tens of albums, well over a ten EPs and have featured on a dizzying amount of essential compilations, mixes and remixes in that time. Without their contribution to the IDM canon, its fair to say the modern musical landscape would look very different. 

Rhythmic but experimental, absorbing yet abstract, cerebral and psychedelic, their ever evolving output is up there with the likes of fellow luminaries Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin as some of the most important in all of electronic music. As well as being fine craftsmen in the studio, Autechre are also revered live performers who really manage to conjure up captivating and otherworldly soundtracks that marry heavy bass with ethereal melody. The pair themselves do not care for genre, but suffice it to say that they have mastered everything from hardcore to ambient to glitch and plenty of indescribables in between. 

When the pair recently laid down an impressive set at Dekmantel Festival, we asked if they might be up for a doing an early inspiration mix, whereby they put together a collection of the sort of electro and hip hop tracks that turned them on as youths. At first they hesitated, pointing out that "we don't do strictly retro stuff, it's too corny.” But alas, a few days later, a huge file landed in our inbox… That file is a 4 hour and 18 minute mix that basically encapsulates not just Autechre’s own influences, but also acts as a fine anthology of the greatest electro sounds of all time. Every sub genre imaginable gets touched upon along the way, with nods to forefathers like Kraftwerk, killer cuts from Man Parrish, classics from Newcleus and retro gold from the likes of The Beat Club. It is a thrilling ride and a truly rare treat that reminds us just why we love Autechre, as well as shining a light on a vast genre that often pays second fiddle to house and techno.

In the pivotal period before the end of Apartheid, the fluff of bubblegum was starting to boil over into what later became the tougher township-centric sounds of kwaito. Amidst this volatile and transitional climate a mysterious kid named Eddie Magwaza started making moves in the studio, creating music for a vibrant street dance style that was blowing up in SA, called pantsula. At the time, other groups were also starting to create faster and more instrumental dance music which suited this agile style of dancing, but on this album Magwaza managed to channel the cosmic chant of italo and the sweaty energy of early house music in a unique and peerless way that has captured the ears and feet of DJs and dancers around the world many years later.

Magwaza, who wasn't even 20 when he made this album, had the help of seasoned studio whizzes Lucky Matante & Jan Smit with programming, sequencing and engineering, and their studio mastery really takes flight on the dub version of the title cut which has made the album so desirable in the last few years. Sadly Magwaza was shot and killed shortly after the release of the album and it stands as the last testament to his brilliant vision.

Remastered and pressed on a loud 12" Mashisa is once again available to spread the pantsula spirit to dancing bodies everywhere. Artwork by Jessica Greene.

Following the reissue of Vox Populi!’s Aither album, Emotional Rescue further explores the more discerning, esoteric sounds of the French 80’s avant-garde scene in Écoute…

Visual artist, sound designer, musician, label founder and emotional tree consultant Ramuntcho Matta is a man of shifting, relentless talents.  Diagnosed with autism at a young age.   Therapy based on yoga and music set him on a path, leading to learn from the likes of composter Cuarteto Cedrón.  

Discovering avant-music at an early age, he moved to New York to study in the "Third Street School of Music", meeting John Cage and going on to work on projects with Laurie Anderson, Brion Gysin and Don Cherry.

His architectural concepts applied to composition were explored on his 3 solo LPs from the 1980s.  The middle of these, Écoute, is possibly his most cohesive, exploring the use of “extra-European musicians”, especially African and Brazilian percussion, jazz horn playing, as well as Uruguayan singer Elie Meideros.  

Mexico’s Cacau de Queiroz’s performance on saxophone and flute is stunning, former Gipsy Kings member, Jorge “Negrito” Trasante attributes much of the LP’s Brazilian percussive flavour, while Magma’s bassist Jannick Top brings gravitas, including performing a water claps duet alongside Matta on the exquisite O Clapo. 

As one piece, Écoute endlessly avoids standard musical formulas, seeking textures of far-flung elements; alchemy against a background of freedom to experiment that would be the theme throughout Matta’s career, whether setting up SSR records under the alias Michael Pope or in his more recent output, teaching methodology of doubt.

/// Fortuna Records Presents ///

• Raja Zahr - Drums Of Lebanon EP •  

Fortuna Records have gone all out and reissued one of the most insane, far out records to have ever come out of Lebanon.

Originally released in 1980 ,Raja Zahr's "Drum Sequence" is a 'get crazy', experimental disco monster, utilizing Middle Eastern percussion and analog synthesisers, so mind boggling they would keep any dancefloor begging for more. And there is more. Two additional tracks of Lebanese percussion madness by Raja make this an essential triple banger previously known only to serious collectors with cash to burn. Meticulously remastered for club use and approved by Mr Zahr himself.
This crispy 12" is one for the freaks. So go on then...
