'Harry Smith's Complete Anthology of American Folk Music', published in 1952 on the Smithsonian Folkways label, presents an extensive research and collection on the history of US folk music from the southern states from 1926-1942, which continues to inspire musicians and artists today.

Harry Smith, a formative figure in the New York beat scene of the 1950s, understood music as a spiritual contemporary witness to the relationship between people and their lives. He was not interested in the distinction between elitist blues and lowbrow hilbilly that was common at the time. He wanted the listeners to feel the beauty of the music and discover it for themselves individually.

This version is without the spoken parts, just the music.

The Endless Tape Machine #12 - Harry Smith's Complete Anthology Of American Folk Music

It's certainly been a very strange and unpleasant year, finishing on an extremely sour note. However, some very, very wonderful and beautiful music has been released despite this, helping elevate one's spirit above the noise and dismal situation our planet is facing.

I didn't celebrate new year (a pint with my pal was it)...but earlier in the evening I made myself record this 2.5 hour mix of some of my favourite ambient and downtempo music of the year.

It includes Saeko Killy, Ramzi, XIII, Michal Turtle, Alek Lee, Quade, Pieter Kock, Secret Circuit, Erik Wollo, Ssiege, Jon Keliehor & Signy Jakobsdottir, Greville & The Lonely Voices, Finis Africae, Khidja, Froid Dub, Sign Libra, Habitat Ensemble, Simplists, The Black Frame, Kane Ikin, MD Pallavi & Andi Otto, Claire Rousay, Deep Nalstrom, Juna, Severin Black, Peter Power, Shakali and maybe a few others.

Leave a comment if you can't ID something and I'll try and answer. Mostly played from vinyl with a few exceptions.

Wishing you all a good 2024. Let's get together and make our voices heard!!!

D'SASTER MOMENTS 13

D'SASTER MOMENTS 13 - dance with me -  w. Alexa D!saster [14.02.2024]

Second part in a killer, wave-surfing double header by Hamburg enigma Braun Jaschkewitz for the V I S label, getting weirder and spanning wider than the first volume with ample screwballs and WTF bullets inside.

Where the preceding volume focussed on synth-pop, NDW and new wave, ‘Neid Dabai Zu Sein #2’ plays out a sleazier, more spangled soundtrack to creeping the Reeperbahn and scoring wraps of wizz. If the first volume mostly left us scratching our head for a tracklist, this one has us totally flummoxed for its flux of top shelf obscurities, which open with what sounds like a field recording of Pac-Man in an arcade and proceed to pluck curios from behind the ear. 

Vocoder-led echoes of Zeus B. Held give way to curdled NWD grooves, horny boogie woogie, cybernoir soundtrack and an absolute zinger in that german cover of The S.O.S. Band’s ‘Just Be Good to Me’ on the A-side, before he cues up lysergic synth soul, oily electro downstrokes and piquant funk-not-funk, plus some heroic ‘80s main character themes and speedy steppers on the flip.

Hey again and welcome to your monthly access to eternity! Inspired by Klaus Dinger whose style defined an era, this show will highlight music from bands with real drummers. 

Circling around what’s may be called kraut, psychedelic, progressive or cosmic –  it’s not about genres, but about timelessness and style. Plant some mushrooms and stretch your eardrums!

In this episode of the Metamorphosen Series, the two Hamburg based DJs, Internet Offline and Junus created an abstract ride trough recent favorites. The recording seems to be haunted, because as if by magic it has disappeared twice. Now it's here! And what a mix it is. Earthy, bubbly and drummy sounds, mystical tones paired with dubby basses. A trancedental roller coaster!

Not least because of their shared passion for music and art, the two often work together and are involved in numerous projects and events. Playing together, listening to each other, trying out and changing new things is evident in this mix!  Four ears hear more than two!

A collector by nature, Isabel began experimenting what DJing could be like in 2019, focusing in collecting hidden and forgotten sounds recorded in cassettes over time. It’s in this field that she asserts herself as Son Objet, where her approach to Djing goes from the selection of bizarre and cosmic sonorities from the diy cassette culture movement, combining them with less conventional current compositions. Her main resources are cuts and loops that are infinitely juxtaposed throughout the set to transition and build the narrative thread that wanders between introspection and dance. Along this electronic route, paths focused on psychedelia are outlined, also highlighting spoken words and sound collage.

"I wanted it groovie and emotional. Tracks that would either feel like nostalgia or happiness to me. I think now we decide."
