This is a track that I have had hidden in my iTunes for a few months and can finally share with you all via RCRDLBL. It is a collab between 2 of the “post-dubstep” greats. Kavsrave teams up with the might Joy Orbison now, Joy O to create a delicate grimey UK track that showcases their understanding of all elements that represent UK dance culture and mixing into this tune “Untightled”. Syncopated synth stabs and kick drum patterns mixed with 808 cowbells with sample of an aggro Brit, proper UK dance. Massive choon.

There was a time when synths were played by hands, basslines were not sequenced and kick drums were played with a foot. Mahavishnu Orchestra were the epitome of musicianship and genre blending in the 70s. John McLaughlin and co have created music that most musicians are afraid to aspire towards these days. “Celestial Terrestrial Commuters” is a brief peak into this fusion world, a track that clocks in under 3 mins yet showcases all that is possible in the Mahavishnu world.
Sneaky Radiohead, releasing their album a day before it was supposed to be released. Too bad it wasn’t for free đ
Thom Yorke channels his Ian Curtis in the video for “Lotus Flower” which is an awkwardly naive yet genuine capturing of Thom’s Muppet like seizuring dance moves. Enjoy!
Stones Throw Records have proven themselves to have a knack for finding contemporary artists that sound like they were lost tapes from the 70s found in an attic. The Stepkids are yet another example of a band that have nailed this nostalgic yet tastefully done recreation of 70s psychedlic prog-pop rock. They craft songs that are full of Rhodes runs a la Mahavishnu Orchestra/Herbie Hancock and vocal harmonies that would make Steely Dan proud. Be sure to check them out live, dates here.
More proof that this is officially happening. I am too excited and what this means for the future of DFA1979. More music? More touring? More rock and or roll for the world?! Yes please.
Here is one my favorite DFA1979 tracks, a live version “Do It” extended with some impressive bass and drum syncopated riff rocking out. #2good
Lovestep? Hmm don’t think I will get behind that name but I will get behind UK producer Two Inch Punch. A producer who describes himself as âa frustrated Soul / RnB singer, inspired heavily by Beatles short love-songs, Sam Cookeâs heartfelt melodies and Donny Hathawayâs incredible vocal tonesâ. I hear proper lo-fi sexy boogie, one part Dam-Funk, Hudson Mohawke, and Jai Paul with samples that are more echoes of 90s RnB hits than samples. Either way I am all about this POST-DUBSTEP/POST-CHILLWAVE/POST-GENREBLURRING MUSIC. Groove on bruva.
Sinden & SBTRKT return with “Seekwal” the sequel to that fantastic release “Midnight Marauders” which included one of my favorite tracks of last year “Kind of Familiar”. Seekwal out 2.21.2011
