2011 has had its fair share of highly anticipated UK bass releases. Jamie XX dropped Far Nearer , Skream got around to making Exothermic Reaction official, and finally, Goth-Trad has released Babylon Fall on Deep Medi Musik. The four-song EP has been "forthcoming" for more than two years; in fact, some of the songs date back to 2008 and earlier. However, even though it may not all be new, Goth-Trad manages to keep it fresh and original. Babylon Fall kicks off [...]
Goth-Trad knows how to keep it heavy without selling out to utter bro-womp territory, and he proves himself yet again on his latest EP, Babylon Fall , released on Deep Medi (the venerable label that's also played host to dubstep dons like Skream, Silkie, Mala, Kromestar, Coki, Loefah, and more) on October 3. With four tracks clocking in at about 5 minutes each, it's a pretty great way to spend 20 minutes or so of your time. Goth-Trad's Japanese background seemed to come out more in his earlier works, whose tone sometimes made me feel like Akira [...]
![[bump161] Bam Spacey - Stadens trad faller ett efter ett (EP)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3549856_lg.jpg)
The name of the EP is in swedish and means "The trees of the city fall one by one", a set of ambient, minimal techno tracks. They are all about the life in and around the city, the subtle changes that take place everyday, the dancefloor of the fields and streets. In these tracks, darkness and light co-exist, there is no clear border. Sometimes one takes over but the other can never really be put out. http://www.bumpfoot.net/bump16 1.html Tracklist Stadens träd faller [...]
Friday Shout/Chant: Local Music Friday What's up with Local Music Fridays? Dear old friend and general mountain-of-a-man Michael Beauchamp's new(est) band Red Tail Ring (you may remember their introduction here ) recently released a two-disc set of songs, Middlewest Chant (mostly originals) and Mountain Shout (hardcore trad). You probably just realized that I was looking for an excuse to actually pair the word "hardcore" with "trad." Ok, you're right. I'm really enjoying both discs [...]
Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh , a 29-year-old from Rathfarnham with a degree in physics who once helped construct a Namibian cheetah sanctuary, is best thought of as an independent and original musician, specialising in the fiddle and Hardanger violin, whose roots are in traditional Irish music. To call him a traditional musician doesn't quite do justice to the breadth of his interests and experimentation with the form, as on 2007's inventive and vastly moving Where The One-Eyed Man Is King . Ó Raghallaigh (he pronounces it "O Rye-Allah"), is an engaging and energising character who uses the word [...]
