Defined by a definite sound and continuous output of original material, “Casino Lisboa” is the third track off of DIRTY BEACHES ’ soon-to-be-released LP Drifters/Love is the Devil. The favourable synth is quite obvious as one of Alex Hungtai’s go-to-gadgets. His repertoire is quite extensive, with his itinerary ranging from synth, to guitar, to vocals, a man of many weapons. Throughout the entirety of his discography, Alex Zhang Hungtai’s solo project, DIRTY BEACHES has shown an extensive approach to the whole broody-late-50’s-nightlife feel, but nothing quite like the aura of [...]
Alex Zhang Hungtai's hot property at the minute, and following on from a barnstorming mid-afternoon showing at Saturday's I'll Be Your Mirror , Dirty Beaches here unleash the scatty brood that is Casino Lisboa. Hungtai's vocal incomprehensible, so high is the reverb piled it's one of several instances lifted from the first half of a forthcoming double album, Drifters , which functions as something of a lucid continuation of breakthrough LP Badlands as its author shrieks, moans and groans over and over a mantric throb, minimalist thuds, synth freakouts and so forth. Bury your head below... [...]
Dirty Beaches shares "Casino Lisboa" from Drifters. Dirty Beaches, aka Alex Zhang Hungtai, is back with a new song, "Casino Lisboa". The track is taken from Drifters, one of two new albums that...
"We can't understand German, so we got yelled at by some bus driver telling us we were in the wrong place. He was nice enough to turn around, otherwise it would've been kinda awkward having to lug our equipment around. 'OK, yeah! Danke! Danke Schoen! Bye-bye!' Pfft." That's the jovial reasoning behind this afternoon's scheduled Plausch with Alex Zhang Hungtai of Dirty Beaches taking place that bit belatedly. He's currently, well, not exactly living in Berlin but he's been there since December. "I don't know how long we're gonna be here, but I guess [...]
The last time we heard from Dirty Beaches – aka Québec-based avant-garde practitioner Alex Zhang Hungtai – it just so happened to be the first track unveiled as part of his mettlesome forthcoming double album, Drifters / Love Is The Devil . It was then the doleful title track from the latter, though he this time skips to the end of the former to bestow upon us the ethnic inflexions and atonal hulusi drones of Landscapes In The Mist. Now, comparisons between the two pieces outed thus far are scant to the point of becoming incontrovertibly [...]
Martin Scorsese should get Dirty Beaches phone number. Dirty Beaches, aka Alex Zhang Hungtai, is back with a new song, "Landscapes In The Mist". The track closes out Drifters, one of two new...
I've been well into The Drifter since finding his tracks on Permanent Vacation and now he's just put up a tasty mix he made for Muhk last year. Definitely worth a listen just for his selections! Tracklist: Battant – The [...]
I'd be fibbing were I to feign a profound knowledge of the Philippine music scene, though this one from inscrutable young 'beatsmith' CONCLΔVE ought to have us all delving that bit deeper. The boy provides languid, spacked-out pulses and crunky cadences whilst the girl (accomplice Berna So) brings a woozy, nonphysical ethereality to proceedings with a wondrously disinterested vocal quality. They are, like its title Melted, of a gooey inconsistency that, mirage-like, drift in and out of focus ingeniously as though caught in a viscous web of time. Then, just shy of four, they're gone altogether. [...]
New song from Dirty Beaches. This title track has blood&tears all over it and is the sound of my empty self. I need to share this before it becomes something else. That's the official statement via Twitter from noir pop auteur Alex Zhang Hungtai , aka Dirty Beaches . [...]
It was now no less than a couple years back that Helsinki's enigmatic, if exemplary wunderkind TJ (then operating under the guise of Forest Cry) first bleeped up on the ol' radar. Under said nom de plume, he released an astonishingly fulfilling minimal/ micro-house full-length entitled Drifter , before setting fire to the moniker and arising from the smouldering cinders as, well, Drifter . Since, the precocious Scandi talent has alas veered off out of earshot altogether, though there was that most welcome of pings in my inbox this morning informing of his return. The SoundCloud prepped [...]
Absolutely in love with the new The Drifter remix of Woolfy VS. Projections - Set Me Loose... it does all the right synthy mellow things to send me into a bit of a dreamy hazy trance. It'll be out alongside [...] The post Woolfy Vs. Projections - Set Me Loose (Lexx / El Txef A ? The Drifter Remixes) appeared first on SlothBoogie .
More of a "Repo Man Christmas," if you ask me... Here we are, Christmas Eve. A step away from the culmination of the big holiday season, and I didn't really have a chance to get as many Xmas songs up as I'd hoped - partly because we've been spending the week in Hawaii, visiting for the holiday with my in-laws, and we've been pretty busy. I know, I can hear your sounds of sympathy even now... It's beautiful in Hawaii, of course, and as an alternative to Northwest rain and [...]
So the last day of the Mayan calendar has come upon us. We should party like it's the end of the world . Perhaps the most telling sign of the apocalypse is the Hipnautica reunion . That's going down at Rusty's . At Mohawk's , we've got Hardproof Afrobeat, Money Chicha, and Butcher Bear DJ . The Red Eyed Fly will welcome the destruction of all that we know with EBM, Drifter, Black Thorn Halo, Hazard Hounds, and Fight Plan [...]
by Andy Schwartz “Okay…so you scratch your head, you look at the guy who represents the company and he’s dead serious. Furthermore, he’s telling you all the sweet things a weary producer loves to hear: ‘Money’s no object…Get all the down cats you need…Just give ‘em soul.’ So you finish scratching your head and you reach for the nearest phone. You’re cooking, you’re really cooking! So you call Teacho Wiltshire to make the arrangements, and he says ‘okay.’ Then you get tensed up because it hits [...]

Last year I pretty much couldn't move for blogs about Permanent Vacation's latest offering. It's been noticeably quiet for me from ze Germans but happily I can write once more as they bring us The Drifter. Mark Flynn is a rising Irish producer, singer and dj living in Berlin who's been a guest vocalist for producers such as Good Guy Mikesh & Filburt, Worst Friends, and Jacob Korn, and more recently launched a new label, called “Maeve”, with his longtime friend Mano Le Tough.
