Mochipet Mix

Mary Anne Hobbs Experimental, 8th of July 2009.

I'd been meaning to check out Mochipet for a while. I was going to download his XLR8R Podcast but after browsing the tracklist it looked a bit too much like a silly mashup set so I didn't bother. And after listening to his MAH mix, yes it is like that but he just pulls it off somehow. Silly animal costumes and all.

Tracklisting to follow

Download

P.S. That "tracklisting to follow" is copied and pasted from the BBC website. It's basically code for "there won't be a tracklist for this mix".

P.P.S What You Know by T.I. still rules. And Bump by Spank Rock is still pretty cool, even when being banged into MJ's Thriller.

Guido Mix

Was looking forward to this as I really like the Punch Drunk record I have of his. This mix might be a tad too safe / mainstream for my tastes but it definitely has its moments.

Guido - ‘Get Up Remix Featuring Yolanda’
Guido – ‘Shades Of Blue’
Guido – ‘Chakra’ (Punch Drunk)
Guido – ‘Beautiful Complication Featuring Aarya’ (Punch Drunk)

FACT Mix 59: Subway

I don't normally post mixes before hearing them but I'm just too excited about this. It's different to pretty much everything that’s been posted on this blog, but the tracklist just looks too delicious not to share.
The only Subway tracks I have are from the latest Soul Jazz Singles collection and they definitely stand out from the rest. The sound has so much in common with the electronic music of the 70s, especially stuff from Germany, but still retains a modern feel, and never feels like a pale imitation. Subway's German influence is very obvious here with tracks in this mix from Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Harmonia (which is what their Soul Jazz tracks most sound like) and the more recent sounds of Basic Channel.
They also play a few legendary bands from the noise scene, including personal favourites Wolf Eyes and Black Dice.
They also play a tune from one of the Stereolab/Nurse With Wound collaborations - I never got around to hearing this so I'm pretty excited.

Space Machine - Untitled
KK Null - N-02
Black Dice - Night Flight
Ash Ra Tempel - Ocean Of Tenderness/Sunrain
Subway - Monochrome
Syn - TAT 93
Wolf Eyes - Ancient Delay
Kraftwerk - Atem
Throbbing Gristle - Dream Machine
Stereolab/Nurse With Wound - Trippin' With The Birds
Chris Carter - Clouds
Subway - Theera
Subway - Delta II
Kraftwerk - Airwaves
Tangerine Dream - Madrigal Meridian
Throbbing Gristle - AB/7A
Cluster - Heisse Lippen
Subway - Simplex (Gatto Fritto Mix)
Harmonia - Notre Dame
Basic Channel - Mutism
Cluster - Fotschi-Tong
Kraftwerk - News
Conrad Schnitzler - Ballet Statique
Ash Ra Tempel - Lotus Part 1
Sunroof - Silver Zero

TOKiMONSTA Mix

First mix of the Mary Anne Hobbs show from the 10th of June 2009.

Hopefully most of you downloaded the amazing TOKiMONSTA Brainfeeder podcast from a few weeks back, cause if you did you'll know what to expect and I can write as little as possible. The quick version is LA's TOKiMONSTA, signed to Flylo's Brainfeeder label and making very exciting instrumental music using a wide variety of real and computer-based instruments. It's always good to hear real instruments being used in this type of music and it gives TOKiMONSTA's sound a vintage quality which is a total win in my opinion.

TOKiMONSTA – ‘Playing With Toys’
TOKiMONSTA – ‘So Sick’
TOKiMONSTA – ‘Last Night's Blurry Memories’
TOKiMONSTA ft Gavin Turek – ‘Moon Bloom’
TOKiMONSTA – ‘Fall Dreams’
TOKiMONSTA – ‘Questing’
TOKiMONSTA – ‘The World is Ours’

Kotchy Mix

This mix by Brooklyn's Kotchy really blew me away. It's like he's deconstructed hiphop and then rearranged it in a variety of different forms, from the bare bones minimalist vibe at the start to the more straight up vocal stuff further in. I recommend this mix to everyone. You don't have to be into hiphop, in fact sometimes it strays so far you don't know what to call it! But underneath is the spirit and soul of hiphop.

You might have heard the song One For The Money. Awesome, awesome tune. It comes in at about 4.35 if you're counting. Such a good track.


Kotchy – ‘Raise Your Eyebrows’ (89 / Civil Music/Seclusiasis)
Kotchy – ‘Falling In Love’ (89)
Kotchy – ‘One For The Money’ (89)
Kotchy – ‘Sing What You Want’ (89)
Kotchy – ‘Holla’ [I'd Have To Be High EP] (Civil Music/Seclusiasis)
Kotchy – ‘Stick Around’
Kotchy - ‘Barbara Cocker’

The Clonious Mix

For the final mix of this week's show we have some more Austrian madness along the lines of Dorian Concept. More vocal than DC which really changes the dynamic, in a good way though, creating something a bit more accessible and (a word I always hate to use) funky.

The Clonious – ‘Dataflow feat. Dorian Concept’ (Ubiquity Records)
The Clonious – ‘Oily Glue’ (Ubiquity Records)
2bo4 – ‘Flags & Words’ [The Clonious Mix] (Sonarkollektiv Faults)
Tettory Bad – ‘Don't Push Feat. Ty’ [The Clonious Mix] (Sunshine
Enterprises/Jazzy Sports)
The Clonious – ‘Emora’ [Dorian Concept Mix] (Ubiquity Records)
The Clonious – ‘If Joe Had The Power’ (Ubiquity Records)

Clubroot

I discovered Clubroot from his Mary Anne Hobbs mix back in early March (just before I started this here blog) and have been meaning to post his mix for ages.
Originally broadcast on the 11th of March sandwiched in between Boxcutter and Jega, you'd think that sharing a show with those two he would be in danger of being overshadowed, so I was happy to be blown away as soon as this started coming through my headphones.
I'd heard his set during the day while listening to the entire show and it sounded pretty good, but it wasn't until after I cut out the mix and played it through my headphones that it really started to make sense. From the very start with its lush synthy intro I was hooked. Then the beat came in and I started to realise how oldschool the mix is, from the garage beats to the rave-like atmospherics. I guess a similar artist would be Burial, but only in the sense that both artists seem to be looking back for inspiration. Whereas Burial creates mood and atmosphere through his recording techniques and "rough" finished product, Clubroot just seems intent on making awesome dance music that captures the spirit of many genres past.

I finally got around to posting this mix (it's been in my Mediafire account for ages) because his album is out this week and judging from the tunes here, it's an essential purchase.


Clubroot – ‘Orbiting’ (Dubplate)
Clubroot – ‘Lucid Dream’ (Lodubs)
Clubroot – ‘Nexus’ (Lodubs)
Clubroot – ‘Talisman’ (Lodubs)
Clubroot – ‘Sempiternal’ (Lodubs)
Clubroot – ‘Embryo’ (Lodubs)
Clubroot – ‘Birth Interlude’ (Lodubs)
Clubroot – ‘Toe to Toe’ (Dubplate)

Kito video clips from Void

Just two short clips of Kito playing at Void on Friday. When she dropped Murderous Words my night was complete! We had the club darker than normal so not the best footage, but then it's a pretty accurate portrayal of life inside the Void.








Also some drunken photos here. And some professional-looking-type-pics will up soon at www.vintage.au.com.
