We're back. The usual mish-mash of mostly recent stuff thrown together in a way that made sense to me at the time :) Pick of the week is Jaga Jazzist's "Apex" which reminds me a bit of 808 State, although I really like Koffee's "Pressure" too.

Pyramid

Apex

Don’t get fooled by the angry riffs in Run,  this songs has a positive thing to say; while we’re busy running away from something bad, we might miss that we’re running into something a lot better. However, getting rid of scary doomsday stories you’ve been fed in the church bench since infancy, is hard. Run is full with blink and you’ll miss them-bible references paired with small town trash imagery. That makes a lot of sense for the most personal song on an album that will be titled Drive-through Chapel.

Musically, this song might bring to mind Swedish indie darlings Broder Daniel, and a hint of Swervedriver. Some inspiration was garnered from The Chipmunks 1988 song “The Wall” to evoke the right kind of bitter sweet. The limit of how high the BPM of a Shoegaze song is aptly pushed to leave the listener with a taste of blood in their mouth. Like running too fast does.

Spunsugar - Run

V1 
It's barely winter yet
you bare your teeth all red
you surely understand
why I can't be your friend
 
V2
I'd barely woken up
to not being strong enough
to withstand your painful love
been yelled at twice this month
 
(pre chorus)
I don't wanna go to work today
is what you used to say
used to say
 
(chorus)
I don't want to spend my life in worry
and no I don't want to watch you smoke a durry
I've got things to do, things to do today
and I fucking hate it when you blow it in my face
 
V3
You have your eyes on red
I might just phone a friend
if you hadn't sheltered me from them
if you weren't so jealous of every fucking thing 
 
(pre chorus)
"I don't wanna see my psych today",
is what I used to say
'cos I was ashamed of how I stayed after how you behaved  

(chorus)
I don't want to spend my life in worry
and no I don't want to watch you smoke a durry
I've got things to do, things to do today
and I fucking hate it when you blow it in my face
I've got things to do, things to do, today I've got things to do, things to do, today I've got things to do, things to do, today I've got things to do, things to do, today and I don't want you to stay

Tokyo-based producer Omar Santis returns for his 3rd Karakul EP following on from releases on Dionysian Mysteries and Envelope Audio. 'Thursday Night Funktion' is the 6th release on the imprint and really embodies the ethos of Karakul, soulful deep house workouts designed for the dance floor. The EP is dedicated to his Tokyo club night 'Funktion'; a cultural party that's held every Thursday at one of the world's top ten small clubs, Oath in Shibuya. Their events have caught the attention of Tokyo's local community and their international guests by its unique branding and "mature but wild" party atmosphere. The EP starts on a high with the groovy sample heavy disco/house jam 'Nira'. Vocal chops and guitar licks build and culminate until a massive string section releases a second rush of energy taking the track to even higher ground. The follow up 'Sakura Blossom' is the deepest cut of the release with washed out pads and bleeps cascading while a hypnotic bass keeps the track grooving. Iron Curtis adds his personal touch and ups the energy on his remix of 'Cameo Appearance', adding a breakbeat, ethereal melodies and vocal snippets floating atop a plucky bass line. Ending the release on a blissful note 'SpaceColorPalette' is a flurry of melodic synths and muffled percussion that swirl around over the top of a solid kick and bass groove.

Long-time (3+ years!) curator of a regular weekly 10 track playlist of legit, (mostly) new tracks from Soundcloud, dug up here, there and everywhere. The lists always start out as 10 tracks, but some subsequently get pulled from Soundcloud by the band/artist or the label, so don't blame me for any short lists!
