Révolution

In Hour 2 we welcome Khruangbin , the Texan trio who take influence from 1960's Thai funk (their name literally translates to "Engine Fly" in Thai ) and include Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald “DJ” Johnson on drums. Their debut album from 2015 ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ is steeped in the bass heavy, psychedelic sound of their inspirations and was recorded at their spiritual home, a remote barn deep in the Texas countryside. The band listened to a lot of different types of music on the long drives out to the country but their favorites were 60s and 70s Thai cassettes gleaned from the cult Monrakplengthai blog and compilations of southeast Asian pop, rock and funk. Their mix is a sublime selection of music that includes Arthur Verocai, Return to Forever, Serge Gainsbourg, Miles Davis and some incredibly rare records from Christy Azuma, Ahmed Fakroun and Theodora Ifudu. You can catch them playing alongside Kendrick Lamar, Jamie XX and Kamasi Washington in Hyde Park, London on 2nd July, their US Tour kicks off in September and they have a remix release coming out in early June.

Solid Steel Radio Show 13/5/2016 Hour 2 - Khruangbin

Our good friends https://soundcloud.com/khruangbin brought their blend of ambient guitars and 'thai-funk' to the lawn stage on Sunday afternoon this year. It was a magical journey of meandering music that caught pretty much everyone off guard, in a great way, https://soundcloud.com/move-d even went as far as defining it as his favourite moment of the entire festival. We recorded the set and here it is, one of the only recorded live sets you'll find of this very special band.

Gottwood Mix #018 - Khruangbin (Live From Gottwood)

1. Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

Hello, my name is Will aka Skinshape, I do old school sounding psychedelic-funky-souly-stoner-rock music... Or something like that. I'm working on my fourth album now. I also run a label called Horus Records, we do exclusively roots reggae. I'm also a record trader and collector. Living in London provides a lot of opportunities for record digging. I've been collecting for about 8 years... First reggae mostly, then moving into soul and funk, and now I'm more into African music.


2. 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

The 7" for some reason is a near-mythical thing. I don't know quite what it is about it... But something grabs me a lot more than an LP does. 7" Just feels like the coolest format, and I love the artwork on 7" records. If you're into certain genres, especially reggae, the 7" is really the only way to go! 


3. One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

I've pulled out my favourite 7" singles, but then realised there are still way too many. I've worked it down to records that I can't really let go of, or that I'm just really into at the moment! It starts in the USA, then hops across the Atlantic to Africa (West to East), then hops back across to the Caribbean for a final blast of a few of my favourite reggae singles.


4. Where can people catch you / listen to your music?

You can check me out at https://skinshape.bandcamp.com for my own music, and then for the Horus Records stuff, you can check it at https://horusrecords.bandcamp.com , we just put out two new singles actually! 

5) Top 5 all time fave records

Not really sure, there's too many to say. But... I'll just pick a few I like a lot, in no order:
1. Dinah Washington - This Bitter Earth
2. The Congos - Fisherman
3. The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
4. The Beatles - She Came In Through The Bathroom Window
5. Pink Floyd - Echoes Part I (Live at Pompeii)
