TRIGGERED (Face First Sucks)

Siren Song

A collaboration between Casino Moon and Italian singer-songwriter Erica Mou.

Out of the Rain (feat. Erica Mou)

One of Chicago's finest production and DJ talents, and a close Stateside Lobster family member - Garrett David - returns for a studio-focused foray into Chicago's sonic house music history. 

Live From The Dog Cave is a full family affair, with production mates Colin Johnson and Adam Rowe featuring on the A1 and B2. It's a real snapshot of young Windy City talent in 2017, warm tubes glowing, midnight studio snacks and early morning mix downs. 

Ooh Aah is a stodgy stomper. Ticket-y percussion and full kicks leave enough space underneath for that GD classic bass-line to bump and groan. Elements of Detroit house collide with an unexpected new age tinge around the mid section; string stabs and Yamaha preset synth 'aah''s melding into a single Midwest call. 

Taking the ominous vocal ideas of the A1, Sample Sesh adds a heavy filtered guitar/vox sample combo that wouldn't be out of place on a cheeky filtrated discos edit 12" or even a cut drawn from the subtler sides of French house. 

Two Nineteen kicks off the flip, again those lil snippet vocals chattering away around smooth silky 808 patterns, hot-towelled soft stabs and resonant string sweeps. 

Closing out the EP, Touched Feb rides a grumbling drive-time bass-line into the dusty distant horizon. Garrett & Adam on a serious jam tip! Richochet'd guitar / MS-20 mid-rolls and flicks of the plectrum; drum skits; organ filtration & ADSR noodling. The real bizz.

These Aren't The Droids You're Looking For

The backstory: I attempted to post a lecture by Terence McKenna but I was not happy with the soundtrack / background music I had arranged. So I decided to seek help from several friends here on SoundCloud. After all, if I couldn't do it, I was certain someone else could. Orgonon Sound Machine (https://soundcloud.com/orgonon-sound-machine )  stepped up and agreed to have a stab at it. The result is : https://soundcloud.com/orgonon-sound-machine/reveling

This is my response to O.S.M. ... it is a poem in Catalan, by Joan Maragall

The background music is a short piece called "Mad World" by Stephan Grossman  AKA pianostefan:%CBC GB: ;<singing

Joan Maragall
The blind cow
Bumping her head from stump to stump,
advancing aimlessly along the watering lane,
the cow goes all alone. She is blind.
With a stone thrown much too hard,
a shepherd-boy put out one eye, while a scale
has formed over the other: the cow is blind.
She wends her way as always to the fount,
but not with the steady gait of former times,
nor with her erstwhile companions: she is quite alone.
Her companions, scattered among vales and hollows,
in the meadow’s silence near the river,
tinkle their cowbells as they browse at random
among the fresh grass… She would fall.
She strikes her mouth against the pointed rail
and recoils, offended… But then returns,
lowers her head to the water and calmly drinks.
She drinks but little, having little thirst.
Then, lifting toward heaven her enormous,
horn-crowned head, in one great tragic gesture,
she blinks her lids above dead pupils, and returns,
orphaned of light, beneath a burning sun
and staggers back along unforgettable paths,
languidly twitching her long tail as she goes.


What is the difference between Catalan and Spanish?

Languages. ... Catalan is a Romance language like Spanish but is not a subset of Spanish itself. In fact, Catalan as a language is closer to French and Italian than Spanish or Portuguese. In Catalonia, this difference is most notably felt outside Barcelona as Catalan is the main language spoken on a daily basis.

C.Y.M. is the collaboration between British producer and DJ Mike Greene (otherwise known as Fort Romeau) and LA-based American musician Chris Baio, who releases music as Baio in addition to playing bass in the acclaimed band Vampire Weekend. Their debut, self-titled EP arrives on Phantasy as an elegant pean to the infinite possibilities of kosmische music, driven by a motorik strain of psychedelia. The foundations of a wider project, C.Y.M. speaks not for analogue nostalgia, but a subtle and modern update on imagined futures that are still open to interpretation.

‘Capra’ immediately establishes the duo’s masterful if unsurprising grip on rhythm, a man-machine stomp that persists as the track takes myriad turns, from post-punk guitar licks and processed vocals, through bubbling modular synthesis and culminating in a soaring, cathartic melody.

On ‘Far Gone’ C.Y.M. turn their studio inward for a more brooding and intimate interpretation of their sound, a balearic amalgam of intriguing vocals, feedback soaked riffs and no-wave inspired movement.

The bliss beneath the waves of noise that crash across C.Y.M’s music emerges fully on the driving conclusion, ‘Super-Cannes’. A hypnotic tempo and blistering drums intertwine with whirling organs, and shimmering keys, providing a wistful and warm finale.

Available on : 2020-03-13
Buy : https://www.beatport.com/release/giving-up-on-alan-dixon-remix/2867900

‘Giving Up On’ is the latest offering from Nu-Disco/Funk duo EKKAH. Opening with a funky bassline and packed with harmonic vocals, all the while blending live percussion and groove sounds throughout ‘Giving Up On’ is undeniably a party starter of a record made for the dance floors and open air summer venues.

“Giving Up On is about reinforcing the importance of carrying on. Life throws dark times, but positive things can come from these experiences. We only ever have the now - the future is a rolling mystery” - Ekkah

Having grown up together, the duo bonded over a mutual love of music and soon started writing their own material. They released their debut track ‘Last Chance To Dance’, followed by ‘Small Talk’ and ‘What’s Up’ (collaboration with U.S. producer Dam-Funk), making their mark as one of the most unique, fresh and authentic female bands around. Their unique ability to each play multiple instruments has won them fans across the musical spectrum.

Ekkah - Giving Up On (Future Disco)

INCOMING : Ekkah - Giving Up On (Alan Dixon Instrumental Remix) #FutureDisco

Hi folk!
What better opportunity to write songs when you're indoors to escape the Corona virus.
Greetings from Italy!
I am still alive!
(headphones recommended)
Italian lyric below

Nessuno sa 
quando tutto finirà
Intanto c’è chi fugge
In preda al panico
Uscire è un delitto
Non è più un diritto
Se resti a casa 
forse si risolverà

Nelle corsie la polmonite decima 
coloro che la guerra un giorno risparmiò
Non basta la tempra
Ci vuole fortuna
e speri che oggi ci sia un letto anche per te

Le crisi sai son’opportunità
E rallentare al corpo certo gioverà
Stai un po' con le mani in mano
Il ritmo circadiano
E resta accanto a chi vuoi bene per un po’

Io intanto passo il tempo a scrivere
canzoni che qualcuno forse ascolterà
ma ho voglia di uscire
di stendermi al sole
così l’apocalisse 
vivo mi troverà.

Driving Me Wild

You got the kind of walk
Making all the boys talk
And the long blond hair
Makes em’ stop and stare
Yea you’re doin’ alright 
Clean out of sight

You got them big blue eyes
Got me hypnotised
Nobody’s fool, yea you play it cool
And when you move
You’re really in the groove

You got them ruby lips
That were made to kiss
And taste so fine, like cherry wine
I like your style and you’re driving me wild.

Guitar solo :)

Mercy, mercy, mercy me 
You got everything I need
And you know I ain’t lying, there’s no denying

Can’t help myself
Don’t want nobody else
Under your spell, as you know so well
It’s no fling, it’s the real thing

You got the kind of walk 
Making all the boys talk
And the long blond hair
Makes em’ stop and stare
Yea you’re doing alright
Clean out of sight
And when you move
You’re really in the groove

I like your style 
And you’re driving me wild
Yea you're driving me wild
Yea you're driving me wild

See you same time tomorrow
Goodbye Kelly goodbye Sister J
Oh yes you hide your sorrow well but
No need to tell these kids that god does not appear to care

Oh if he's even there
 
Walked down to old St Martin it's
Dusk already there's cold December rain
In the Piccadilly lights
This place has seen the lost and found for
Seven hundred years
And so they come and pray
Or just to stay out of the rain
 
Oh were there words enough and time I would
Explain the world away and
If life's just a story (maybe) we can change the ending if we try
And though the past's been priced and sold
Tomorrows yet untold
 
Strayed into being happy
Fields of barley framed our stupid bliss
But it was all reflected lights
I never learned how to be kind until I lost someone I loved
But I'm not here to pray
Just trying to stay out of the rain
 
[Repeat chorus]
 
And the words become a song
And the child becomes a man

Close Of Day (with Wheelwright)(Fictive Sisters)

This is my first release of 2021 and its a song about missing things we used to be able to do in life.
I have a longing to see live performance again and miss the clubs and venues and of course travel.
We are in danger of entering a cultural apocalypse devoid of live music venues and festivals and tours if this pandemic lasts a long time we must somehow adapt as theres no time to lie down and fade 
away otherwise the music and good times will fade away as just a memory

Tidy Up poem

'January

Tracts of land, unploughed
The eye’s attempt to tidy up

Month of beginnings and 
transitions, January

stores fatigue and anticipates
sowing

So many Januaries'

Tidy Up, Madludzi 935 (J.Gburek&I.Boffa)

In the distant Subert Humlin, Gory Rallagher, Sank Frinatra, and Dats Fomino Galaxies, Her Majesty's Royal Intergalactic Empire is under siege by the sinister Khazargonians and their elite squads of shock troopers- the Jearl Pamians and Goundsardenians. Her Majesty has commissioned an elite force led by her three of Her Majesty's Space Navy's finest officers with several primary objectives, chief among them was the following directive: to combine the great tones of surf and fifties rock... with disco!
These elite officers are:  Admiral Krank of the SS Belgrade (Guitar, bass, beats, intergalactic espionage and assassination by exploding cigars); and Captain Mirth of the SS Zagreb- (Guitar, piano, synth, beats, and advanced thermal detonation). And our very own clockwork man on the drums, Mo Sheen (https://soundcloud.com/user-424452711).  Unfortunately, despite bravely serving Her Majesty's Space Navy, Vice Commandant Dubois has been court martialed and convicted for conduct not befitting an officer and counterfeiting baseball cards, stripped of his command of the SS Budapest, and dishonorably discharged from Her Majesty's Space Navy, though certain recordings of his guitar, synth, bass, beats, and forward deployable laser blasters remain here memorialized for posterity. Let it be known that though he has sunk to the very depths of ignominy, we wish him well in his new venture, the Spandex Spanktroverse.
