Inside & Around Crammed #6: Yasmine Hamdan

This month’s episode is a Marc Hollander mix entitled Crammed Cities, exclusively consisting of tracks from the label’s catalogue which all contain city names in their titles. 

Baghdad to Blankenberge, Cleveland to Casablanca, Berlin to Detroit, Chicago to Marseille, Moscow to Beijing, Warsaw to Lagos to Brussels… During the label’s four decades, many artists have used city names in song titles, for obvious or mysterious reasons of their own. This seemed like a playful, arbitrary constraint for leading the selector to trace yet another path in the Crammed jungle. This mix contains 35 tracks with cities in their title (except the last one, which encompasses many), released between 1977 and 2018 by artists including John Lurie, Suba, Tao vs Plaid, Cibelle & Devendra Banhart, Bass Clef, Adrian Sherwood, Carl Craig, Volti, Lio, some treasures hidden in the Made To Measure series, and many more.

Inside & Around Crammed #8: Guests & Remixers

Revisiting Crammed’s legendary MADE TO MEASURE series. Inaugurated in 1984 and described at the time as the aural equivalent of a collection of art books, MTM has been charting a contrasted map of some of the most interesting instrumental music around (one of the MTM mottoes was “Atmospheric to Abstract, Postcard to Postmodern”…). Made to Measure intersected with many other artistic domains, as numerous choreographers, filmmakers and fashion designers have repeatedly worked with artists who contributed to the series. After a gap of 18 years, Made To Measure was discreetly reactivated since 2013, and five new MTM albums has come out since. This mix contains tracks from each of the 41 volumes of the series to date, in their order of appearance.

Marc Hollander's Album

Inside & Around Crammed #9: Made To Measure

Let’s take a fresh look at the Global Soundclash series, fifteen years down the line. Back in 2003, we selected twelve key albums released by the label between 1980 and 1989, and reissued them along with a double compilation mixed by Marc Hollander. With no less than 57 tracks and fragments by artists from Belgium, Norway, the UK, Japan, Ethiopia, France, Iraq, Congo, the US & more, the Crammed Global Soundclash comp gave an overview of the label’s own strange 1980s, with its broad blend of genres and styles, from rock to electronic to global to classical to experimental. A blend which made even the most jaded British music writers gape in amazement: "Crammed make geography irrelevant... this is trans-generic, supranational, uprooted music... not so much 'foreign' as alien and unidentifiable" (Melody Maker, UK, 1987). “I don’t know, we export our music in good faith, and look how it gets sent back to us, all twisted and bent !” (NME, UK, 1984). 30 years later, we’re still at it…
  
This Episode 10 of our series includes most of that mix and is thus a double refraction of that period: we’re in 2018, listening to a 2003 mix, made from music recorded another two decades earlier… Enjoy!

Inside & Around Crammed #10: Global Soundclash

Inside & Around Crammed - Episode 11: Don The Tiger

To celebrate the upcoming release of his album “Matanzas” on Crammed Discs in October, Berlin-based Catalan experimentalist Don The Tiger (aka Adrián de Alfonso) has prepared an incredible mix containing no less than 117 excerpts of diverse music that inspired him. Adrián has collaborated with the likes of Lydia Lunch, Go-Betweens founder Robert Forster, Carla Bozulich and Lucrecia Dalt (who coproduced his new album). Since moving to Berlin, Don The Tiger takes inspiration from everything he misses in that city -be it rumba, MPB, baroque fantasy, guabina, flamenco or Fania Records- and mixes it with musique concrète and elaborate sampling techniques, delivering it all in a way that owes more to primitive rock'n'roll than to anything else. 

Here’s a little note from him about this very special program: “This mix is a little homage to some of the music and the fantastic bands that have influenced me during the making of "Matanzas". Like that record this is an obsessive collage, where recent loves meet old companions, eroded mp3 exports whisper in the ear of sturdy flacs, and stereo joyfully converts to mono. 117 mercilessly chopped and screwed tracks which are as paradoxical, whimsical, comical, joyous, relentless, pathetical, and romantic as I can only dream my music was. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did while weaving it!"

Inside & Around Crammed #12: Guido Minisky (Acid Arab)

Chilean/French duo Nova Materia have just released their debut album on Crammed. Their powerful, hypnotic music incorporates eerie sounds generated by raw and mineral materials (metal, rocks etc) to create tracks that are in turn hyper-rhythmical and dreamy, poised between post-punk rock and electronic dance music. Here’s how they describe what they’ve prepared for us today: "An eclectic mix of music from avant garde to techno, from unclassified genres to contemporary dance music and from everywhere in the world.  Many of the artists we’ve included in this mix have been referential to us. We had the pleasure to spend a couple of hours this weekend inviting them all to live together in a downtempo DJ set on top of which we added some live organic and mineral percussions. For the pleasure of you ears and psyche" (NM)

Inside & Around Crammed #13: Nova Materia

Marc performed his very first ‘augmented DJ set’ at the latest edition of the Meakusma festival, in the Dublab Sleepless Floor space. Consisting exclusively of Crammed Discs tracks, it included excerpts from upcoming releases, several work-in-progress bits from the next Aksak Maboul album, found sounds… a serious mashup with several tracks playing simultaneously, plus added beats , lots of tweaks and a bit of keyboard playing on top… A lot of fun was had, and this epic performance definitely deserves being aired in the context of this program. 
The second part of the show (starting around 1:05:00) contains a few of Marc’s favourite 20th century contemporary classical tracks.

Inside & Around Crammed #14: Marc Hollander’s 'augmented' DJ set @ Meakusma

To celebrate the release of his new album “Two Roomed Motel”, Californian artist Scott Gilmore has done a special mix for us, which he describes as follows:

“The songs on this mix are a wide range of influences that have shaped the music I make. I was introduced to some of them years ago and others are new discoveries. I still find a lot of inspiration in all of them.” 

He’s been described as a “bedroom pop experimentalist” (Stereogum), his music drew comparisons to Stereolab, Air and R.Stevie Moore… and early reviews of the new album mention that it “sounds like some parallel-universe collaboration between Brian Eno and electro-jazz innovator Raymond Scott… with wistful Arthur Russell-like sighs… and a Satiesque chamber-glitch piano piece” (Uncut).

I put together this set from music my sisters, Ayla and Lea, and I share with each other. They are both so curious and talented at finding the best gems. Ever since we were kids we were obsessed with making mixtapes and CDs together. It breaks my heart not being able to be with them right now, so this set is made with admiration and love for Lea and Ayla.
