'Oh man, I’ve got good news all around! First of all, even if there wasn’t anything to celebrate, this mix from Heathered Pearls is absolutely superb! Almost two hours in length it navigates many favorite genres and artists represented by the Michigan based label, Ghostly International. Just look at this amazing tracklist! In 2009, Ghostly celebrated its 10 year anniversary as a label, with many shows across the globe. This year, the label is commemorating a decade of performances at Decibel Festival. The 10th Ghostly showcase at Decibel will feature live performances from Dauwd, Beacon, Lusine and Shigeto (Friday, September 27th at the Crocodile) and you know that I’ll be there all night!

Meanwhile, Jakub Alexander (that’s Heathered Pearls), a curator of the ISO50 blog and founder of Moodgadget Records, has just released a digital remix album, titled Loyal Reworks, featuring many great artists, including Sun Glitters, loscil, Markus Guentner and Lawrence. Alexander made this mix for us while on a tour, which he will finish up in Brooklyn’s Cameo Gallery on September 28th. Please enjoy responsibly and support the featured artists!' - Headphone Commute

Matrixxman presents "City Of Djinns" in front of an appearance at WMC 2014 where he'll play the Turbo vs Spectral party on March 28. 

https://soundcloud.com/matrixxman

In the Cartesian view of identity, the body is a container for our mind, personality and ultimately our soul. But what happens when technology allows us to transcend the limitations of physical reality as we know it? In a post-corporeal life, our bodies may no longer be confined to the rather cumbersome form of a human but instead a vast digital network. Matrixxman just so happens to be an inhabitant of such an environment. When he is not busy spawning a myriad of artificial intelligence entities and endless virtual worlds within worlds, he also enjoys composing music. The essence of which is crafting new interpretations of something straddling the grey area between classic Chicago house and Detroit techno. "Resurgent techno atavism" as he prefers to call it.

In 2013, Matrixxman’s debut EP "The XX Files" received critical acclaim, garnering praise from the likes of The Fader, Pitchfork, XLR8R and Fact Magazine. His relentless rhythm track "Protocol" has been supported and played by a who's who of dope underground elite including Levon Vincent, Jimmy Edgar, Jeff Mills, San Soda, Boddika, Pfirter, Danny Daze and Dubfire. Meanwhile on the house side of things, various tunes of his have been rinsed by tastemakers such as Larry Heard, HNNY, Huerco S, Seth Troxler, and Damian Lazarus... to name a few. Endeavoring to construct "the most futuristic shit ever" with just a year under his belt, Matrixxman is a name that will be known for years to come.

Tracklist
1. Untitled A1 - SSOL
2. Got Me Jumpin' In My Car - San Soda
3. House Room (Paul du Lac Acid Dub) - Tevo Howard
4. The Spell (Ron Hardy Mix) - Marcus Mixx
5. Hell - Chicago Skyway
6. Holographic - Matrixxman featuring Vin Sol
7. Paint & Chemicals Dept. - Phil Kieran & Jochem Paap
8. Motion The Dance - Untold
9. 21 (DJ Hyperactive Mix) - Truncate
10. Reborn - Walt J

Lunar (Original Mix)

Darren Tate Feat. Sxcha - Flickers

Back in 1992  , me and my oldest friend Steve  made this track on his Roland S-50  Sampling workstation. He  was a hip hop producer and a horror film fanatic  -I was someone who to drove in convoy to warehouses , fields , seedy basements and sports centres  in London   so we could  dance all night .I spent a lot of my time recording Kiss FM , various shows -Colin Dale , Colin Faver , Steve Jackson , Paul Trouble , Fabio And Grooverider etc which helped me to discover the wider world of all  things breakbeat,   techno , rave  ,house   garage . 
It was on Colin Faver's show that had he this section called " Demo Dat Pressure " . Demos were sent in from people jus starting out in the game - one was sent in from a Richard James -  the track was called Didgeridoo . 
We had been playing around with stuff for a while - I had persuaded him to speed up the breakbeats and we proceeded to make some " techno " trax  ( thats what they were in our mind )- You can hear his horror influence and my rave influence in this one. We had about 4 tracks done which we decided to send to Colin . The next week we received a phone call telling us our track was gonna be played - we listened that Tuesday night at 10 pm - and sure enough he played it - WHAT A BUZZ - that first feeling of someone who has really inspired and excited you - supporting your work - we had thought we had made it :) 
We didn't have a clue what to do next - so I carried on listening to Kiss and got into DJing ( naturally ) and Steve carried on with his burgeoning Hip Hop career . I was playing around with bits of hardware but it wasn't til maybe 2000 that i started finishing tracks again .

I lost the recording of the Colin Faver show - but after a chance conversation recently with Ricky Swank who knew us both in those days - it turned out he had our demo cassette - so he sent it to me - and it was so nice to listen to them again - I think this one has stood up pretty well - so thought I would share it .

Osaka-based producer Yuri Urano lays down the last GhostlyCast of the year. Since 2014, her volatile hybrid style of industrial techno, electro, and minimal UK-bass has been "sending sparks through the spine of Japan’s underground electronic scene," per DJ Mag. She's released some heat in 2018 with esteemed UK label Central Processing Unit (CPU) and her eponymous label YL. Here, Urano arranges tracks from her favorite artists and influences in a relentless 60-minute mix titled in two parts: "Para" (for), a reference to Spain where she first conceived of the mix, and "Ukiyo," a Japanese word with dual meanings referring to "Floating World," a hedonistic cultural era in Japan's Edo-period, and "Sorrowful World," a Buddhist realm of both death and rebirth.

Day Dream

Day Dreams (Agami Records)

'Artemisia' is a repeated improvisation composed and sung by Mona Sachße.
This aria-like song introduces the world of a holistic being. 
Playfully it teases the mysteries of the state of sympoiesis.  
op. {{*}} 001 is a pilot performance piece by Sophia Lökenhoff.
It marks the first edition of an ongoing project, a multimedia performance series that deals with 5 – 7 generations/transitions of a fabulated figure called IAGA.

A selection of weird, wonky & jacking deep house from the classic label which is, "Vibraphone Records". Enjoy!

Vibraphone Records Showcase

To celebrate the release of Egyptian Sports Network (Matt Mondanile of Ducktails & Spencer Clark with a special guest appearance from Mark McGuire) Spencer Clark has compiled a mix of upcoming Pacific City Sound releases. This mix originally came as an exclusive Volcanic Tongue-only bonus CD-R included with copies of Monopoly Child Star Searchers - The Garnet Toucan LP. 

You can purchase the new Egyptian Sports Network LP at Volcanic Tongue: http://bit.ly/19hmTpG

THE FUTURE: STEEL MAGNOLIAS (EVA VAN DEUREN of ORPHAN FAIRYTALE AND BERLITZ in the Garden of Hotel Cailfornia playing STEEL DRUMS)

Spencer Clark's notes about this mix:

1. TARZANA - Spencer Clark/Jan Anderzen - Jan came to Hotel California last year for seven days, to record Tarzana. Five of those seven days he hung out with Kalevela groupies, the other we jammed.  The “Master”, as he calls himself, would not divulge any of his samples on these recordings so he had to play through my, as he called it, “same old echo gear”.  We have been collaborating through the mail since, and it should come out in ten years or so, on Pacific City Sound Visions. Besides Lieven Martens, Jan is the guy I have had the most hangovers with in Europe. James has these two, beat by maybe 35.000 doners.

2. SHREDDER ORPHEUS SOUNDTRACK - Skating to Hell - I think I saw this movie on James' floor in Hollywood, before I found one, and decided to release it on record.  What I should release is a live video (bloopers) of me trying to find the director of this SCI-FI SKATE FLICK, on the internet. This movie has some pretty cool scenes, while the soundtrack is by the Keyboard player from Ministry, Roland Barker. It was released by AIP INTERNATIONAL VHS, owned by an actor who was in West Side Story. The aftermath of working on Westside Story is evident in such flicks as SOULTAKER or LA CRACKDOWN.  Not for the squeamish.

3. STEEL MAGNOLIAS - Spencer Clark/Eva Van Deuren - Eva Van Deuren from Orphan Fairytale came to Hotel California to record last year as well.  We decided to make a Steel Drum album called Steel Magnolias. At one point I emailed her in excitement about the proposed title, she wrote back saying that she had had the same thought.  Later it turned out that I had emailed her numerous times about the title and we had both forgot, leaving this mystical case: closed. The album is very special though. Many tracks sound as though we were influenced by BAMBI swimming through an Aquarium looking for her mother. We rented Two huge orchestral Steel Drums from a country critter town called Woodburn or something. At the time I had no money, so we got real fast at playing the steel drums. Out next year on Pacific City Soundvisions.

4. VOX POPULI! - Half Dead Ganja Music - This album sounds like the title, no doubt. Whole album coming out on Pacific City next year.  When I was 16 I ordered this tape from Old Europa Cafe distribution. I went out to this stoner's house in the woods and snuck this in the tape player while we were on mushrooms. Dude later enlisted in the military to fight in the middle east, that's how scary some of this shit is. 

5. TARZANA - Spencer Clark/Jan Anderzen - Out in 2021

6. TRADE WINDS excerpt from Original Soundtrack- This is the first windsurfing movie ever made. The soundtrack is so good, this is just a taste. I was gonna bootleg it, until by miracle I found the director on the internet (only miracle for me). He is Jack Mccoy, director of the best surf movie of all time, StormRiders.  Jack is sending me some better audio tracks in the mail, so its on.  In the middle of this audio, there is this music, that finds its way on a lot of old surf movies, where it sounds like an old dude falling in the tub or something.  Anyway, I am sorry, I couldn't get this shit off there, tried to use garageband to separate the track? And have you ever seen THEODORE REX with woopie goldberg? Full Soundtrack to TRADE WINDS comes out next year on Pacific City….

7. TARZANA - INTERSTITAL MUSIC

8. FOUND VHS ALTERNATIVE SOUNDTRACK TO "ALIEN" - I found a copied version of "Alien" at a GarageSale in Ventura, it had this music instead of the usual audio in the part where they discover the ALien Ship.  The label says "Ripley's Discovery".  The crazy thing about this, is the audio is so much better than my music.  Some dude probably buried this vhs tape after sitting on it for years and then it wound up in a wet box at a GarageSale.  

9. NEW IMAGE OF MAN - CHARLES BERLITZ - This is an excerpt from my next record, which is inspired by a week of dreams I had, in which I found myself in a gold room, in prayer, listening to the voice of PINHEAD foretelling the future of man. There were gold buttons levitating in the air spinning around and then stopping, when PINHEAD'S voice would begin. He told me about myself and my possible inclusion in the future of mankind's next alterations. He represents the transmutation of flesh. What flesh becomes I think was what my dreams were about. The experience of making this next record should be a communication of my wishes to understand, not the dream, but the world.

10. MONOPOLY CHILD STAR SEARCHERS - Typhonian Highlife - This song is coming out on the real "Make Mine, Macaw" lp that is coming out on Pacific City later next year. The original cdr that appeared on the internet as " a departure for Spencer Clark", or shitty metal that your little brother's band wouldn't even open up for, was a Hackers mishap- Some metro-guppie got drunk and mislabeled a pile of cdrs, and blogged his brains out. music that literally sounds like the person burning the cdr inserted a blankdisc into the space below his computer and above the coffee table on which it sits.
