Second Blood (2012)

http://www.delsinrecords.com/release.php?idxRelease=3872

Back in March 2003 Claro Intelecto announced his arrival in the electronic world with his Peace Of Mind EP on Ai Records. Now, a decade later, Delsin, the label on which he released his latest LP, is re-releasing it in all its glory. Across four perfectly formed tracks the EP proved Manchester’s Mark Stewart to have a fine grasp on techno, electro and dub, and that he was able to do his own unique things with each.

Arguably the most well known cut from the EP is 'Peace of Mind (Electrosoul)', a busy bit of chattery house-come-electro that is wired up with many zithering melody lines and Claro's trademark lush strings. 'Tone' is then a much more frazzled and aggressive bit of techno with raw, slapping percussion, gurgling synth lines and plenty of dystopian electro vibes. 'Contact' then settles into a deep, dubby, spacious groove with airy hi hats and a delightful bassline and carries you along effortlessly, and final track 'Signifier' closes things out in beautifully serene style with ambient swirling pads, organic synths and a curious bassline that rises and falls like the tide. Seminal stuff that still fetches a high price on Discogs, it was the start of a remarkable career for Claro Intelecto.

SUNDAY MORNING - 24 - Manfredas

https://onemoreslice.bandcamp.com/album/commercial-breaks

a week ago (june 2017, because if u read this in a month or 13 years a week ago will mean nothing) i started working on a Commercial Break #4, a few days after this i ended up with 9 tracks

a commercial break is about flipping some random sample on my hard drive, most of the time samples with a crap quality because there's no other way (u can check the #1 #2 and #3 on that same soundcloud) while celebrating the best thing that has ever been on TV aka Lost that i watch religiously all the way through once a year

u can get all those tracks on my bandcamp for like 1 european dollar (or more) 

i hope any of this somehow bring joy to your life, or anger, any type of emotion really that's gonna take u away from the vegetative state or our society

Commercial Breaks

All the great samplers of our time dug a bit of Brazilian. The most obvious suspects being beat-making legends, Madlib and the late great, Jay Dee; but other genre trailblazers - such as Drum & Bass’ beloved DJ Marky - also brought the music of Brazil to an audience that had perhaps not been exposed to it’s delights. Even fucking Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” was heavily influenced by Brazilian legend, Jorge Ben’s “Taj Mahal” - listen to it for fuck sake! (youtube.com/watch?v=Ex9jWJ5V014).

Another chap with an ear for a sample is the super gifted Adam Wickens aka Admin (@AdminUK). Also an aficionado for the nations sounds, the Bristolian has woven together a patchwork quilt of 100% Brazilian material, beaming with colour and zinging with spice - almost suspiciously in time for the summer sun. Easing you in with near lulabilic textures, Admin leads you on a sweltering sonic ramble through the winding nooks of Rio, stopping off for some Feijoada in the favelas and winding up on the Copacabana - Caipirinha in one hand, broken Havana’s in the other. Borderline offensive stereotyping aside, Adam’s mixtape is really one to be proud of and an essential accompaniment to any sun filled plans you may have. Enjoy.

This player previews V/a - Pantsula! - The rise of Electronic Dance Music in South Africa, 1988-90

Release: December 4, 2017
PRE-ORDER VINYL: http://bit.ly/PantsulaLP

Late 80s South African dance floor winners only! Selected by DJ Okapi and Antal, the compilation holds tracks by Jivaro, The Hard Workers, Ayobayo Band, S.Y.B. & many more. This is the sharp electronic music that fuelled the local Pantsula dances during the 80s and 90s . A must have for fans of Bubblegum and Kwaito music. 

The 12 tracks selected for Pantsula! come from a very unique, very different time and place. They represent the birth of electronic dance music in South Africa, through the songs of one particular independent label from the time: Music Team. The sound represents the culmination of the bubblegum era, when South Africa’s disco artists outgrew their American influences and forged an increasingly electronic and ‘local’ pop sound.

Evolving over time since long before the 80s, the distinctly South African subculture of Pantsula is more closely associated with an attitude, a style and a signature dance, rather than any specific sound. In the late 1980s and early 90s, Pantsula was also the name given to a new type of dance music taking over the streets of South Africa, influenced by earlier bubblegum and the rise of Shangaan Disco, but with a far broader appeal and a harder, purely electronic sound.

Tracklist:
1. The Equals - New Lover
2. Jazino - Ushelakanjani
3. Jivaro - What Next
4. S.Y.B - Jika Magogo
5. Scotch Band - Watsotasama
6. Kakappa - Sisonke
7. Spirro - Ma Hero (Dub Mix)
8. The Hard Workers - Ayoba-yo
9. Ayobayo Band - Sorry Bra
10. Rush feat. Linda Ziqubu - Sobohla Manyosi
11. Chaka - Via Tembisa
12. La Viva - Go Siami

PREMIERE: Harrison BDP - Yearning For Yesterday [Lost Palms]

Playing on Menorca last summer and taking a swim afterwards was awesome. As the bar is in front of the Mediterranean Sea we wanted to give the night a warm vibe with lots of percussions, salsa and African / South-American influences. The set has a build-up from 98 to 132 bpm and back again as we ended the night with some of our favorite soul/disco tracks. Hope you enjoy, bailar al ritmo!

LIGHTCAST 01 - Joe Toner

https://soundcloud.com/cosmo-vitelli hasn’t slept since 1973. Instead, he’s replaced slumber with the tireless exploration of dance music, sharing his finds as an accomplished DJ and label manager but also as an esteemed producer, with heaps of records, remixes and edits under his belt.
 
After spending his childhood between West Africa and Central France, a young Cosmo Vitelli moves to Paris in the early 90s. More indie kid than clubber, closer to rock, post-punk, and krautrock than techno, he plays guitar in various rock bands until he figures out he’s having more fun fiddling with a 4-track recorder and a sampler than with guitars.
 
He releases his first in 1998 on Etienne de Crécy’s Solid, followed by a string of EPs and remixes that are now part of the DNA of this golden era for French electronic music, notably his album Clean which Virgin releases in 2003. After a stint in the ruthless world of majors, Cosmo Vitelli creates https://soundcloud.com/imacliche in 2004. His fiercely independent label stands out to this day in the underground electronic music landscape for its uncompromising approach, simultaneously paying tribute to venerable figures and taking risks by exploring music from the margins, with a distinctive knack for finding talented artists before they break through (such as Simian Mobile Disco, Azari & III, Moscoman and Red Axes).
 
In parallel, he’s rekindled his love for guitars and pop music with Bot’Ox, Vitelli’s side-project with Julien Briffaz of Tekel. They released EPs on labels such as DFA and DC Recordings, LPs on I’m a Cliché and toured extensively, even scoring a gig at L’Olympia in Paris.

Currently based in Berlin where he’s relocated his studio, Cosmo is back to releasing music under his own name. He’s already released two EPs on I’m a Cliché and an LP of edits and reworks, as part of the Edit Service series. When he is not in the studio or travelling for gigs, he curates No Weapon Is Absolute along with DJ Sundae for a monthly show on London’s NTS radio. (https://www.nts.live/artists/31696-cosmo-vitelli)
2019 is set to be a busy year for him, with an LP for Malka Tuti to be released in two parts, one in Spring and the other in Fall, along with an EP on Ivan Smagghe’s Les Disques De La Mort in September and a new release in the Edits Service series also in the works. This special mix was recorded live on april 21st 2019 at the amazing Berlin club https://soundcloud.com/sameheads for the Easter Gut party, Studio Flam!
