One of Australia’s most mysterious jazz long players. The eponymous creation of Queensland pianist Robert Welsh. Originally released in 1986, Singing Dust offers a dynamic collection of songs, rich in expressive performance and compositional sophistication.

Dutch psych-musicians Jacco Gardner and Nic Mauskovic create a new take on no-wave, post-disco with their debut LP as Bruxas, Muscle Memory. It’s their third work for the Dekmantel label, following up earlier EPs Mas Profundo (2017) and Sirocco (2018). Immersing themselves in a world of bohemian synth, the duo experiment with vintage machines and cosmic effects, swimming in rhythmic grooves and psychedelic tones. It’s a style that reflects their respective musical backgrounds, and long partnership, one in which that has strengthened their collaborative, musical muscle memory.
After playing together in the revival tour for Zamrock band WITCH, Gardner and Mauskovic struck up a partnership centred around poolside antics, cocktail hours, and a mutual love for late-60s, German kosmische musik. Through their particular style of alchemy, the duo embarked on a quest to craft soundtracks to imaginary, forgotten moments.

‘Cógelo, Rápido’ plays out like a pseudo-disco-noire thriller, while ‘Mountain Cruise’ strums to an upbeat Jodorowsky beat, and then ‘Minitrip’ accompanies the listener through psychedelic planes of existence. Unsurprising then that there is a little bit of Patrick Cowley in this record. A pioneer whose own Muscle Up soundtracks also lent themselves to leftfield synth explorations.

Outside of Bruxas, Gardner and Mauskovic have both found success with their respective careers. Gardner, with his unique take on experimental synth work, and Mauskovic’s rhythmic post-punk, solo-project The Mauskovic Dance Band. Together as Bruxas, they found a synergy full of youthful exuberance that looks to recapture a vintage left-of-centre, wave-scene aesthietc. Recorded on a minimalist setup, Muscle Memory is full of improvisation and psychedelic sound experimentation, proving that with time the subconscious can take over, creating patterns within music that the conscious mind would have otherwise been unable to perform. What one would call, true Muscle Memory.

Bside Incoming: La Casa Tropical

This week, it is with great pleasure that we can bring you a mixtape selected from an impressive record collection, complied bu dedicated crate digger, and true purveyors of global sounds: La Casa Tropical.

Hailing from Toronto, but spending lots of their of time in Johannesburg where the record label has taken its deep rooted musical influence, La Casa Tropical crew are on a mission to release and reissue the feel good party gems that they have discovered on their African adventure. 

No wonder then, that our past guest REES opened his Bside account with this sunny song from their 2018 reissue of Bayete’s Blue Monday, just a little taste of the amazing music they have discovered in South Africa :

Their quest has allowed them to share some amazing music with their followers and fellow party goers across Europe and the US. But, today they will be sharing with the world the jewels of their journey from the Bside of their collection.

La Casa Tropical living up to the name with non-stop feel good summer tunes, all the way from the joyful bliss of a deep dubby downtempo variety, to bopping hip-hop beats, soulful lyrics and Caribbean percussions, before moving on up to some energetic rhythms from mother Africa.

Sit back, close your eyes, and feel the sunshine beating down on your smiling face.

Bside Incoming: La Casa Tropical

For those outside of the Edinburgh bubble in which they reign supreme, the Hand-made crew (Lewis, Euan & Coll) have locked down every backdoor basement and audiophile bar the city has to offer over the last few years. 

Flashback to a family throwdown almost 2 years back where I first caught them deep in their element, picture baking sun an outdoor sound system and flowing beers, I knew these dons digs were deep. 

Now fast forward to this blessed day, I have the privilege to share their grandmaster sleight at getting people out of their chairs and keeping them there. Expect, a flicker through reggae and lovers rock into heartfelt downtempo and zouk.

Ones to watch always and forever x
