Reflect on your Monday disarray with Meeko Cheech's EP Capricorn Sideways here. http://meekocheech.tumblr.com/

Note to bands... If you're a little weird, we're probably going to like you. Just thought we'd throw that out there. Meeko Cheech is a little weird and we like them. Yes, the vocalist sounds like Beck , but their music is more for fans of Black Moth Super Rainbow and BMSR spin off, Tobacco . A cascade of noise and melody emanates from this U.S. band. We'd love to know why they've mysteriously claimed no home [...]

Blissfully smooth Philadelphia funk duo Work Drugs , purveyors of perhaps the sun-soaked driving anthem of the decade, ' Rad Racer ', announced over the weekend that their debut record would drop in double album format this April 1st, with accompanying single 'Curious Serge' also dropping this coming Friday. 'Tropic Of Cancer' and 'Tropic Of Capricorn' arrive on a limited run of 50 handmade copies which will ship direct from the the Work Drugs ' Merch Hut ' from now onwards, and be used romantically to fund the band's travel costs for their impending US tour with [...]

mp3: Work Drugs - Curious Serge Work Drugs are a self-proclaimed "sedative-wave / smooth-fi group" from Philadelphia. Add "romantic" and that pretty much sums up the sweet sounds at work here. Their new album will be released on April 1 in two versions: Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn , with each one containing a different bonus track at the end. Both versions open with the new single "Curious Serge". Work Drugs kick off a tour with Two Door Cinema Club in Minneapolis [...]

Bon Accord - Capricorn My boy Mike a.k.a. Bon Accord dropped some new gems on me yesterday which I've been excited to mention on the blog. The... (Visit my blog for more!)

Capricorn was the brain child of Dutchman Hans Weekhout an experienced musician, engineer and producer. In his early years he played bass and keyboards for mostly funk and soul bands before doing studio work, recording and mixing for numerous Dutch acts as well as for international artists such as Ian Gillan and Falco. After being influenced by the late 802s electronic dance music scene he recorded under the name Paranoiax, before recording as Capricorn in 1992. Come 1993 and he had a worldwide dance floor killer on his hands which to this day sends crowds wild. [...]

Paper Mice Three and-now-the-weather-which-is-d ownright-pleasant-today reasons to roll your eyes at that weather related cop-out and defiantly head over to the Empty Bottle tonight... 1. It's Monday. Thanks to the good folks at the Empty Bottle that doesn't have to have the generic negativity Monday usually conjures up. For no money down, you can see Chicago's own Paper Mice and their bass forward post-rock. I want to call them an unholy alliance of Mission Of Burma and Primus, but I feel invoking Primus is taboo these days. But... [...]

For those of who don't know, La Musique is a club night that takes place every Saturday night in Sandino's , Derry. It's always rammed, and the crowd are always up for dancing. The two resident DJs, Dollface and Jean Luc , are great, and really nice guys. They're kind enough to bring me down for a guest slot every few months. It's possibly my favourite gig to play because you can cane the heavy beats from start to finish without relenting for a minute. I was down there again last night, [...]

R & S Records have released Optimo's "In Order To Edit" which sees the Glaswegians putting together a stellar mix of classics and edits from their veritable knowledge of how to... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Produced by Claudio Simonetti and Giancarlo Meo this is a pulsating piece of italo disco. Capricorn - Capricorn (Instrumental) Thanks be to Beat Electric .

Claudio Simonetti and Giancarlo meo were one of the most important production teams in the italo boogie scene. They produced or performed in Goblin, Kasso, Crazy Gang, Vivien Vee, Easy Going, and many more. This is my favorite Capricorn track, it has much more soul than I need Love . It is a perfectly built dancefloor burner that has a Kano style vibe but with a creepy vocoder treatment. Capricorn - Capricorn (Vocal)

Some classic techno from R&S compilation "In Order To Dance". Moggieboy at the excellent Ripped In Glasgow featured a Global Cuts (an R&S offshoot) release by X-Tatic and mentioned that Global Cuts had released Capricorn's "20hz" but he couldn't find it. This post is for you. For those who don't know about R&S' place in European techno history, Kris Needs' official biography says: "In Ghent, [...]

Trackademicks- "Happy Birfday To Me!!!" LIVE @ PST Capricorn B-Day Celebration 12/28/08 Okay, now I know I kicking a dead horse here... but when the horse is a stallion, you gotta say you did it right? If that doesn't make any sense don't trip- I'm extra delirious from pulling an all nighter. It would have been more eventful, but one of our Yay Area rap superstars flaked on the session, so I ended up making some menacing soundscapes instead. However, I digress. The above clip is footage of the most epic Birfday I [...]
