Dope track, there's a similar song (same sample) with a slamming house groove here: https://soundcloud.com/earmilk/jason-hodges-william-alexander

i love these tunes .. great work .. reposted on kescherklatt.tumblr.com

Not heard this remix of Hot Music before. Wow!!

An impassioned case for humanity to place life above profit over lush orchestration & badass breakbeats. The spoken hook that pervades the track is a quote from one of Lorraine Hansberry's favourite dramatists Sean O'Casey. The sample in which the quote is read comes from a Coretta Scott King speech concerning the triple interconnected issues of racism, poverty and war. The male voice throughout the track is that of EF Schumacher whose ideas for human-scale, decentralised and appropriate technologies are as revolutionary and crucial now as they were back in the early 1970s.

LYRICS

[Coretta Scott King]
The bells of the world have tolled long enough for death. Let them now ring for life.

[EF Schumacher]
This is now a very critical time; we are struggling with the problem of poverty and we don’t seem to be making any headway. We are moving into an era of energy shortages, we have the ecological crisis. Technology has become too big, too complex, too expensive and also too violent; so then let’s look in the opposite direction.

[CSK] The bells of the world… (the behaviour of most people…) have tolled long enough for death (…has been conditioned by circumstances)

[EFS] We need a technology for the people, for the spiritual and mental health of humanity, to fight poverty. A technology that works with nature and doesn’t bludgeon her all the time; an altogether more intelligent technology.

Our intelligence – our capacity to create new knowledge – is almost the most precious thing we have and therefore we have to become extremely sensitive to the abuse of this capacity.

[CSK] The bells of the world have tolled long enough for death… (We have the resources…) let them now ring for life (…to eradicate poverty). The bells of the world… (what we lack…) let them now ring for life (…what we lack is the will). The bells of the world…

[EFS] Organise, organise! Co-operate!
[CSK] …have tolled long enough for death.
[EFS] You can always find like-minded people.
[CSK] The bells of the world…
[EFS] The pioneers are already at work.
[CSK] …let them now ring for life.

[EFS] Everyone of us make up their own little mind what do we really think? Which means what do we applaud and what do we detest? We’re very muddled on that. Once we’re clear in our own little minds, then we look around for the pioneers who are already doing the right thing and join them. Join them! It doesn’t cost much. We’ve got to come to something more rational than what we’ve got now and if we don’t do it deliberately it will be forced upon us through the facts of the universe.

Wild Star

Typesun, aka Luke Harney, is a Bristolian producer more well versed in music's avant-garde than might be expected from his break out single, The PL, a slice of minimal underground soul, that for all its echoes of Chet Baker's lonesome jazz still found its way onto Radio 1, becoming something of a hit for an artist who often treads more experimental ground. Typesun's work though comes from that Bristol tradition; trip hop, dub, and rave, which he attacks with an obvious appreciation for good-time sound-system soul that cuts through the city's sometimes sombre tone.

His latest single is the double A-side 'Icebergs/Water Song', out now on ltd. edition 10" vinyl and digital on Root Elevation Recordings. https://typesun.bandcamp.com/album/icebergs-water-song

Slumber Session: Typesun

LV - Ancient Mechanisms 
BWOOD0143CD/LP/DD

‘Ancient Mechanisms’ is the fourth album by globetrotting London production duo LV. It traces a train of thought that was sparked by a live session with Tigran Hamasyan back in 2012: two and a half years down the line and a trip to Belgium later, the finished record is as much about the workings of musical artefacts as it is about putting the virtuoso pianist into new contexts.  

The duo, made up of Simon Williams and Will Horrocks, found the insides and mechanisms (hint) of the instruments they were working with to be of increasing interest as the project developed. They found a discarded, portable piano in the former’s new flat and spent hours painstakingly recording its notes, creaks and noises. This left them in possession of a MIDI keyboard that sounded like something from “a bar in a wild west movie” and featured heavily on the album. ‘Ruiselede’ makes reference to the town whose piano museum in which they were able to record Hamasyan playing on its collection of antique grand pianos.

LV have always thrived by working with new collaborators and environments. In the past there’s been joint efforts with London poet Josh Idehen and journeys to South Africa for kwaito-infused productions with Johannesburg MCs. It was from working with Hamasyan that their attention began to shift to the piano itself. “We got into the sound that instruments make themselves, not just the production of the sound,” says Williams, “We got into the actual sound of keys being hit.”

Anyone who heard the Maida Vale session that laid the foundations for the album will know how exciting it was to hear delicate jazz musicality at play with UK-tinged dance rhythms. ‘Jump and Reach’ builds on that potential, with circling piano going toe to toe with rolling drums and stabs of bass. But Hamasyan wasn’t just providing pretty riffs for them to work with, he also fed into the process of how they worked. As Horrocks says, “His musical interests are much more broad than perhaps people would expect,” something that’s on show in ‘Infinite Spring’ where his penchant for looping pedals has produced a wash of sound easy to fall adrift in.

The exploration of what lay inside the instruments in front of them is the thread holding this unique record together: strands ranging from foreign surroundings to the darker corners of London’s club lineage are channelled into exploring that idea. There are field recordings of Belgium’s streets along with snare hits in ‘Transition’ that nod to the studio where a nascent dubstep’s sparse aesthetic was born. As an album, it draws together disparate interests in a way that feels compellingly coherent. 

“Ancient Mechanisms” is released 9th October on Brownswood Recordings
