Gavin of Florene sent over the closest thing to a Halloween post I will make. "Dream Master" is a 7-minute synth movement that draws heavily from the John Carpenter movie scores of the 80s. The song is dark, seething but upbeat and perfect for a Halloween dance contest between your friend in the Unicorn costume and the dude dressed up as zombie Abe Lincoln.

As we approach thee end of 2010, we open the gun locker, gaffer tape a flashlight to our pump action shotgun and slide into the vietcong tunnels of what went on this year. There be monsters there. Being the all encompassing unstandardised weirdoes that we are, we make no attempt at ranking our choices, or to classify them by format. We just about manage to drop them into different buckets which aren't quite genres, but a chromatic scale of the kirlian aura colours that they impressed upon us. Let's begin with black. Things that go slash [...]

v ia Florene put a new tape demo up on their Soundcloud recently that I've been digging lately, so I thought Id share. If you can remember the band played our recent show with Delorean and Lemonade and continue to bring the tech to Texas. This 6 minute jam is a perfect example.

On their way to funfunfunfest , Delorean and Lemonade will be stopping by Denton, Texas on November 5th to put on a spectacular show at Haileys , anchored by local beat-masters Florene . Expect next-level light and projection entertainment. Delorean - Simple Graces Lemonade - Lifted Lemonade - Big Weekend (Delorean Remix) Florene - Homemade Extacy

Blissed Out are finally coming back through my neck of the woods and we've set them up with only the best house venue 'round these parts, Majestic Dwelling Of Doom-we have also added scaling industrial-electroids Florene and will hopefully add at least one more lucky charm to this bowl. For this tour Blissed Out have gone in cahoots with Impose Magazine to release 4 song Cassette titled Second Plane in which you can expect new transient avant-electronic-jazz from a band that must be seen in person. For those not in the [...]

wow, am I on a roll or what? Here's another uplifting summer tune from a to me completely unknown band called Mistery Fix . Their new song Syllogismobile has a funny flute-intro and a slight Ska-influence, and it should definitely make you tap along. The song is downloadable including a B-Side from here: http://mysteryfix.com/ Then there's something for [...]

Waaga are another label who have piqued interest on my radar lately with releases from FUR and Spirituals , Sunglasses and soon, the Low Sea . This week sees the label release Florene's Homemade Extacy , the Denton, Texas duo's album and their first proper release on Waaga after a series of EPs, singles and cassettes (one is downloadable ). It's a mix of the kind of electronic live band rushes provided by the likes of Fuck Buttons and Holy Fuck with dark atmospherics, industrial sounds [...]

The mass diffusion of cheap music production technologies, access to more influences than a God with control over the time and space shenanigans could ever meaningfully process, and distribution platforms that make everything available everywhere have put much power in the hands of youths who are sufficiently unwise not to conform to the rules of [...]
