XLR8R Podcast 553: Ivan Smagghe

The Alpaca is a species of South American camelid, similar to, and often confused with the llama. However, alpacas are often noticeably smaller than llamas.

Andrew Weatherall and Manfredas went back to back for the first time last month at The Pickle Factory, here's a map into the wormhole that allows you to sonically re-live 5 hours of that evening.

Ransom Note Line Out: Andrew Weatherall & Manfredas

‘Multiverse’ is a word used to describe an infinite group of disparate universes including the ones currently inhabited by humans. A myriad of realms that sit side by side, undetected by our senses, surround us at any given moment. The multiverse theory was first confirmed by tracking leakage of electromagnetic waves filtering from one dimension into the next. When these waves were transposed to fit into frequencies audible by the human ear, the recordings were studied by a team of scientists, who found that they contained rhythmic elements that resembled a speech pattern of an alien language.

After years of research and manipulation the audio was found to be a looping recording of an alien voice speaking the words: ‘IDWT005; coming soon to a universe near you.

Elusive and mysterious, @m-rble ‘Elixir Of Immortality‘ on @naturalselectionsrecords is one of these unique records you’ll love to help your friends discover but it’s also the kind that’ll give you a headache when trying to develop your arguments as for what it is you love so much about it. A moment of musical grace most definitely.

Following last year's 'Kiyadub' EP, Andrew Weatherall returns to Byrd Out later this month with a brand new 12". Having invited his mate Andy Bell (y'know, him out of Ride) round to his studio to buy a Les Paul, Andrew suggested that he test the guitar out over a track he was working on, which then became the b-side here 'Making Friends With The Invader'.

We're very happy to be premiering the title track 'Blue Bullet', a trippy, dubbed-out construction with a surprisingly affecting melody which tunnels under your skin and refuses to leave.

PREMIERE: Andrew Weatherall - Blue Bullet [Byrd Out]

"'Pluvia' is a thrilling trance-fuelled techno ride that pulls a celestial vocal, slimy acid squelches and a whole lot of hardcore attitude into its dizzy orbit."

Expiati

PREMIERE: Dual Shaman - Pluvia [Drastic Arts]

There was a strange taste in his mouth as he walked away from the table upon which he had eaten dinner. There was a bitter sense of harrowing gloom which hung fierce above his head and the taste of pili pala kisses were all that was left upon his tongue. Walking between the dense city streets he began to wonder why life had turned out this way. Was it his fault? Was it merely a game within which he had simply been part of a masterplan? These questions troubled him so...

Doppelate is a producer whom we have watched with a keen eye as of late, an up and coming talent from London with an interesting take on house music and more.

PREMIERE: Doppelate - Pili Pala Kisses [X-Kalay]

He braced his lapels sharply. Yes, this is it, he thought. Admiring his reflection, he saw a picture of health and success. The lights in hotel bathrooms had a dreadful tendency to cast a deathlike pallor across the face, and this one was no different; he momentarily broke character to remind himself he isn’t actually the colour of diluted mustard. One final splash of cold water, one final nod of encouragement, one last straightening of the tie, and he was ready. Through the gap in the door bled the din of the Santa Ana Swing, muffled and half-present, like a memory of a song from one’s childhood. To the elevator, then; the party had already begun.  

M.ono's searing 'Santa Ana Swing' is lifted from a new VA compilation, 'The Blaq Bunch Vol. 2', assembled by German label Blaq Numbers. Comprising 16 tracks, the release is available on cassette and digital from August 9th.

PREMIERE: M.ono - Santa Ana Swing [blaq numbers]

“Look, I’m not saying… I just mean…” the details were as blurry as the walls and the faces. It didn’t matter. Ironically, the fog which shrouded her most immediate memory was thin, and she could see its centre clearer than her present surroundings. Though it was getting light outside and, on this randomer’s shabby couch, she felt as though she’d become cement that was always never quite dry, she was compelled to head back out into what remained of the night. Just one last time. It was undeniably preferable against being trapped at the wrong afters with someone pretentious.

PAS, following A-Side AD, is the second of a new two-tracker by Peckham's FYI Chris. Entitled Snod Hill, it's set for release on August 7th.

PREMIERE: FYI Chris - PAS [West Friends]
