FUNKINEVEN - ROLANDS JAM
Ever since it appeared in our inbox a few weeks ago the new FunkinEven track 'Roland's Jam' has been causing much jacking of bodies in the Slutty Fringe office (we don't actually have an office) and now thanks to the wonder of YouTube you to can enjoy this gorgeously rough and ready slice of acid house. It's slightly scary to admit but this is the kind of music that makes me want to run clubnights again just so I can put Mr FunkinEven on in a dark sweaty basement with just a massive soundsystem, strobes and [...]

Red Wizard Needs Food Badly

Yes Wizard - Heaven Black (Official Video)
One of those labels that can frankly do no wrong, Tigersushi , are back with what in a perfect world would be a summer smash with Yes Wizard's new single " Elephant & Castle/Heaven Black ". The EP is out now, and also contains a bomb Duke Dumont remix, marking a welcome return from a producer who seemed to have gone AWOL the past year or so. Anyway check out the totally tropical video to Heaven Black, shot and edited by Tigersushi overlord Joakim. Share/Save

Snakes and Ladders

Yuksek - On a train (clip officiel)
Tonight the annoyingly good looking Pierre-Alexander Busson, aka Yuksek , is in old London town to play live with his new band at XOYO . To be honest I could probably cope with his scruffy, insouciant gallic handsomeness if he say made totally shit music, but sadly his new album ' Living On The Edge of Time ' sees the young Parisian deliver on his early promise with an album that take a step away from club bangerz into more Phoenix-esque indie/pop territory. Anyway if you'd like a more considered review than 'hot Frenchie makes sexy [...]

Last Of The Living Legends

Last Of The Living Legends The past week or so has mostly been spent listening to Pleasure , the debut album from Austin troupe Pure X which starts out a bit Bongo Brothers before quickly settling into a hazy slumber of fuzzed out riffs and bewitchingly foggy melodies augmented by the fragile vocal turn from Nate Grace. Such has been the effect of the ten track set, I swiftly made up the expression smudging out to fully covey the listening experience. It's pretty much another gold star on the CV of bitcoin obsessed Acephale [...]

Too Much Info (Please Forgive Me)

Too Much Info (Please Forgive Me) Back in the days before blogs, ableton and soundcloud edits a fair portion of my monthly wedge was spent on whatever finely crafted pirate soul bootleg twelves surfaced from the laboratories of Yam Who and Blackbeard. Whilst the former has spread his wings and now runs a sweet little operation called ISM which is home to the likes of The Off Key Hat, Ron Basejam and PBR Streetgang, the latter seemed to have creeped off my radar. Quite nice then to discover Blackbeard is back under a new alias in Scotch Mist [...]

Robots In Rimini

Following on from the other week's Grade/1 mixtape Retro/Grade are back with more swag for you to plunder, this time a remix of forthcoming single Mindfighter by Gigi D'Angelos. Proper club tackle as overweight men in CP Company jackets and a worryingly in-depth knowledge of the early Chertsey house scene might say. Share/Save

Marshmellow Yellow

Marshmellow Yellow It's already been established that if I was a Frenchman I'd spend my days traversing the streets of Paris draped in YSL, sucking on Marlboros and listening to early Kills in an effort to get mistaked for Roman Duris. Naturally an interest in culture would have to be incorporated into such a identity scam and thanks to the French arm of Red Bull Music Academy and the ever excellent 12 Mail event space I could spend my evenings admiring the photography of Sophie Bramley - one of the first to visually document the nascent [...]

Insane Music For Insane People

Insane Music For Insane People Expertly demonstrating their musical versatility when it comes to the art of the edit, People Get Real have just unleashed this rather splendid treatment of "See Me" by Cali band Duh Va Duh Mas . Retaining the core motorik thump of the original, PGR ease down the gears to something more languid which should appeal instantly to fans of music draped in darker sonic sensibilities.

Professor, What’s Another Word For Pirate Treasure?

Professor, What’s Another Word For Pirate Treasure? If I wasn't one of the many to decamp to Barcelona for this weekend's Sonar Festival you would probably find me at The Lexington on Friday where the monumental Demdike Stare will putting the heebeejeebees into the attending crowd as the headline act on the 7,932nd God Don't Like It show of 2011. Complementing the pagan thump of the aforementioned is Ghosting Season , the newly minted moniker of Worriedaboutsatan - who will be performing their bewitching blend of techno witchcraft and dubby scaretronica ahead of the release of their debut [...]

How Many Moroders Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb?

How Many Moroders Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb? Channeling all of the sunshine and fun, but none of the mugginess that permeated my recent sojourn to NYC are Lovesport , a reclusive duo who reside somewhere in those Five Boroughs. After an extended period of hibernation mostly spent guffawing at the permanent queues outside Lombardi's, Lovesport return with "Chase" an expert slice of backwards leaning analogue funk. Lovesport are offering the track for download via soundcloud for one hundred lucky internet traversers. Those not snappy enough on their figurative heels should be advised to [...]

Fun Station To Station

Fun Station To Station Retro/Grade 's new EP 'Mindfighter' is not only about as monstrously good a piece of prime time italo house as you're likely to hear this summer, but it also comes with a remix from Boy 8-Bit that sounds like some long lost Joyce Sims backing track, essential stuff really. Anyway it's not out till July 17th, but in the meantime Tom & Serge have been busy sneaking out some cheeky bootleg vinyl and putting together a series of mixtapes, the 1st of which Grade/1 has just dropped today. Fruity as you like it's perfect for a [...]

Coffee & A Worn Paperback

Coffee & A Worn Paperback The debate over vinyl vs digital will rage on as long as people still make records - which I hope is a very long time! Personally, one of the  many joys of record purchasing is ambling through the discarded records in second hand stores and marvelling at the artwork of vinyl from days gone by. A recent spare hour or so in Brighton was spent rifling through the record boxes of the excellent Snoopers Paradise thrift store, with the surrounding images the most memorable finds. [...]

Ford & Lopatin "World of Regret"
View on Vimeo . Whilst we're sad Ford & Lopatin did not warm to our suggestion that they rebrand themselves No More Games, we can't help but be impressed by their debut album Channel Pressure which is released next Monday. The duo descend on Dalston tommorow for only their second London show to headline the latest BLeeD show at Shacklewell Arms that has DJ support from Casper C and Hippos That Drive Tanks . For an idea of what to expect you should marvel at the new video [...]

Done Hibernating

Done Hibernating Probably one of my most played out records of the past couple of years was the ' Follow The Bears ' EP by The 2 Bears , every single track on it was essential, in fact its rule over my record box was only finally usurped when its follow up, the ridiculously good ' Church ', came out becoming my number one record of choice. Well it looks like it's time to make space in the old bag again as the bears are back with a new record, 'The Bear Hug' EP, and it's as predictably amazing [...]

I Can Go For That

Humorous Norwegian Disco Alias feat. :Kinema:
Earlier this year we released a rather unbelievably good 123 featuring the Drop Out Orchestra 's remixes of :Kinema: s ' My Beautiful Machines '. It was clearly one of the best things to have happened in 2011 and if you haven' already got a copy then there's a few left in our shop . Anyway fast forward a couple of months and Drop Out got :Kinema: to return the favour and make a guest appearance on the new HNDA release 'Cosmonaut', a majestically uptempo slice of blue eyed pop/rock/soul, that would have sounded great [...]

The Last Off Modern

The Last Off Modern Over the last three years Off Modern have been putting on one of the best monthly's south of the river. Drunk, disorderly and crammed with a mix of genre bashing artists, musicians and DJ's. Alas, as we've all seen good nights come and go it's time to say goodbye to the monthly Corsica affair with Off Modern set to go our with a bang this Friday. The Modern will be back with other events, exhibitions and hopefully publications to follow up previous productions but for now, it's over. This Friday, Corsica Studios, Elephant & Castle - Off Modern. [...]
