Skinemax

Digby Woods — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:53:45 +0000

Skinemax is Koyaanisqatsi for a generation raised on late night television and B-movie VHS tapes. It’s long form entertainment for short attention spans. An hour long VJ odyssey, it will move your body and warp your mind.

A nostalgic look back at a half remembered childhood growing up in the 80s and early 90s, Skinemax takes a close look at the culture of that era. The images that motivated, delighted, and terrified us on the silver screen, set to propulsive modern music that pines for a simpler time.

Tracklist:

Com Truise – Norkuy
Depakote – Tummler
Martial Canterel – For Us
Fulgeance – Glamoure
Daedelus – Penny Loafers
Teebs – Why Like This
Laurel Halo – Embassy
Games – Strawberry Skies
d’Eon – Transparency
FOE – A Handsome Stranger Called Death (Com Truise Remix)
Games – Shadows In Bloom
White Car – No Better
Gatekeeper – Forgotten
The Hasbeens – You And Me
Ford & Lopatin – Emergency Room
Rainbow Arabia – Mechanical
oOoOO – Burnout Eyess
VHS Head – Motions
Outer Limits Recordings – Plastik Child

Test Pressing – A Random Function #1

Michael Kucyk — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 02:48:40 +0000
Good to see regular contributions are rolling in over here. The Blackmail now returns to my list of daily visits alongside London based Test Pressing. Run by Paul Byrne, who produces music and DJs under the alias of Apiento, the multi-faceted Test Pressing documents the past, present and future of Balearic culture. It’s expansive offering covers everything from scanned magazine articles from 70/80/90s music bibles, features on record sleeve designers Jean-Paul Goude, Barney Bubbles and Andy Warhol, taped BBC6 transmissions, audio documentaries, reports on new balearic inclined releases and a growing archive of mixtapes contributed by the world’s finest. There’s certainly something in there for everyone and don’t be overwhelmed if you’ve come in late – Paul has just launched a pdf compendium of site highlights including chats with Compass Point Allstar Wally Badarou and former Cafe Del Mar DJ Phil Mison as well as photos spreads of Factory’s Hacienda and Keith Haring visiting The Le Mans 24 Hour in 1984. Load it on your ipad and find a nice tree to spend the afternoon under!

Symmetry: Themes For An Imaginary Film

Digby Woods — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:55:38 +0000
Originally thought to be Johnny Jewel‘s rejected score for neo-noir thriller, Drive, Symmetry: Themes From An Imaginary Film is, in fact, a “project that began as a conceptual tangent between Glass Candy, Chromatics, Mirage, and Desire‘s more abstract sides“.

Nearly four years in the making, this two-hour, 36-track epic is an exploration of “space, rhythm and tone… Stripped to its most primitive and visceral core, this is music written for picture. Your life is the film and this is the soundtrack.”

Look out for this on triple-LP sometime in the future. Until then, buckle up for the full-stream below.

Clams Casino & Woodkid remix Born To Die

Digby Woods — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:41:52 +0000
Despite any negative press of late, you can’t fault these two stunning remixes of Lana del Rey‘s beautifully melancholic single, Born To Die.

The first comes from hazy beat producer Clams Casino, and the second from anthemic French singer/songwriter, Woodkid. Dope as hell!

DJ YAMANTAKA EYE

Michael Kucyk — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:40:55 +0000

Together with Bamboo Musik, we are proud to be bringing one of our all time heroes YAMANTAKA EYE to Australia in January for a special selection of DJ dates.

If you’re not making the connection, EYE has been the driving force behind Japanese psychedelic overlords Boredoms since the group’s inception in 1986. A versatile yet instantly identifiable mixed-media artist, he exists across a wide palette as a musician, performer and visual artist. Through his DJ practice, EYE extends the same creative brain that propels his iconic super group with an unpredictable mix of dance music, punk culture and popular retro rock, mastering a weird fusion of club experience and sound art performance. Releasing seven staggered studio albums, EYE’s highly influential and always evolving ensemble has stemmed various incarnations, spin-offs, collaborations and close associations with the likes of Sonic Youth, Matt Groening, Ween, Battles and Beck. On July 7, 2007, EYE famously orchestrated 77Boadrum which featured a synchronised drumming circle of 77 percussionists including many leading lights of modern avant garde rock.

Be witness to this next chapter of EYE’s illustrious history!

9 January – Keystone Festival Bar, Sydney Festival (w/ Deerhoof)
13 January – Bamboo Musik @ Mercat X, Melbourne
14 January – Sugar Mountain Festival @ The Forum, Melbourne
