Wandering through the outback he was aware of his own bitter loneliness, there wasn't much out here but for the occasional ramshackle old house and the desert sands. His only companion? A crazy ass bronco with a mind all of his own and a wild kick. The sun beamed down upon them both as they marched and trudged through the abyss in the hope of finding a beautiful mirage, a vision of a waterfall or the great rains. This was the only hope the pair had left in hell...

t-woc is a producer from Dublin, he has recorded a stellar six track record for Strangelove, a mixture of oddball bashment and dub with playful experimentation dotted throughout. Strangelove is a label of which we are very fond and this is the latest in their excellent pursuit to enlighten us all.

PREMIERE: t-woc - Crazy Bronco [Strangelove]

For the debut digital EP on Viscera Transmissions, Komodo spreads his wings and takes his signature low slung psychedelica to the stars, to reap destruction on extraterrestrial dancefloors across the cosmos.

Title track Mirror Claws begins an ember in the desert, slowly stoked by guitar chord stabs and eerie screeches towards a slow yet inevitable psychedelic inferno.

For Night Crawler, the guitar steps back into co-pilot role as the acid bass takes the saddle, spurring the squelch dragon off into the void with a crack of the 303 whip.

Next up is Vanquished Angst with a dubby desert rock workout. Blazing guitar solos tear across the sky like thunderbolts whilst the hypnotic bassline and guitar progression burn through the dunes.

On the flip, Jonny Rock re-dubs the dub with his Vanquished Angst Dragon Remix. No slightly questionable guitar metaphors here, instead, a mind melting whirlpool of spiraling percussion, vocal quips, bass throbs and pads form a completely bonkers but brilliant piece.

Last but certainly not least, Chez de Milo arms Night Crawler with some serious ordnance. After changing up the beat pattern with a breaksy kick, electro warheads are ago, clearing the way for the original 303 line to cruise through. Heavy!

For this second opus, we are hosting @plasticbamboo a chill edit of a french rare record.
Plastic Bamboo is not really a stranger to us, we’ve already invited him to record a podcast on our channel and we also played together last year with Guillaume des Bois from Macadam Mambo.


MTT: Hello Camille, how are you? I hope that you are holding on in Paris, few days to go.

PB: Hi MTT! I'm doing great thank you. There's worse than staying home for long periods of time. I'm kind of used to it anyway because I work in the film industry. These days it's just different because it's necessary. I mostly occupy my time watching movies, listening to music and working on some ongoing projects. I have a first EP of edits coming out on wax next year on a new label from Manchester. My friend Patrick Ryder from Piccadilly Records and Talking Drums is behind it but hush hush. I've also been working on my own label project for a year and a half now. All I can say for now is that the first release is an LP, and that it should be out sometime in 2020.


MTT: I know that you’ve been part of Les Yeux Orange, can you tell us how you get involved in the collective and what benefit you took from this ?

PB: I first met Antoine aka LeonxLeon back in 2014. We both had tracks released through Manchester label Red Laser and instantly got on. He then introduced me to his friends Raphael and Stanislas from Les Yeux Orange and I joined the collective shortly after. At that time I was mostly producing music as Alan Dente (my italo alias), and I didn't know much about digging, the club culture and managing a label. From 2014 to 2017, I learned a lot in those fields while having a great time with my friends. Digging old records became kind of obsessive so I decided to follow my own path as Plastic Bamboo. I haven't given up production but it takes time and dedication.

MTT: You’ve started publishing edits last year, what led you to this ? What’s your objective behind it ?


I first became aware of disco edits through Eric Duncan (COMBI Edits), DJ Harvey (Black Cock Edits) and Theo Parrish (Ugly Edits). That was back in the late noughties when my friend Patrick Ryder used to rave about them. Inspired by them, I naturally started editing tracks just for fun, and hoping to get noticed. Most of them are now lost somewhere in the black hole of my computer. Years later, Plastic Bamboo started with a youtube channel and a series of podcasts on soundcloud, but after a while I decided to pick up where I'd left off with edits. Editing tracks is a way for me to make the most of records that would otherwise gather dust at the back of my collection, and to share them with friends and through social medias.

Plastic Bamboo - Mon P'tit Bateau (Edit)

Periodica Records dives into the heart of the Napoli underground with a scorching two track single from Danger Boys called ‘Danger Zone’, which sees Milord and Whodamanny paying tribute to the their cult party of the same name, which was hosted at the Boudoir Club. In the title track, perilous premonitions of tribal disco intertwine with shadowy strains of post-punk, as propulsive beats pound beneath heady fuzz licks, ringing harmonics, and sheets of solar distortion. Basslines cut the difference between frenetic funk and cosmic rock, galactic winds carry sparkles of deep space detritus, and above it all, a high priest chants in ecstasy, with his mystical musings, echoing affirmations, and messages of defiance pulling the body deeper into the dance. Then in “Haunted Zone,” the Danger Boys slow it down and stretch everything out, while giving further space to computronic sequences, laser-generated birdsong, and weirdo whooshes of interstellar noise. Low-slung drums smack through cavernous reverb, cymbals tick nervously, and the bass reduces to a minimalistic dub throb as guitars converse with alien electronics, sometimes slashing the air with red hot riffs and acid rock leads, other times reducing to a psychedelic slop of scrapes and slides. And here, the vocals are even more dynamic, moving between druidic disco incantations and zany flourishes of outsider pop.
