Talking Alone in the dark

I'm not very good at posting stuff regularly, I'll grant you that.

Anyway, I find this rather good. I know it's not new, but they are finally releasing it on a 10 inch. Can't wait to put my hands on a copy. Get it. Now.

Sloppy and drunk at Nigno's Paradise

The last dancers have left the sticky dancefloor.
The staff are laughing at the DJ, who's barely able to stand up.
He drank too much. He's mumbling about a fantastic party happening somewhere in the tortuous alleys of his confused psyche.
He's trying to memorize the tracks played by a Mancuso zealot. The flirtation level in the overheated room is high.
New couples are trying not to fall by holding on to each other.
Screams and laughters welcome each new track.
Looks like someone's having fun.

Hot Chip + Carl Craig = P.H.A.T.

click on the link below to listen to the result. Now.

Hot Chip, 'One Life Stand' (Carl Craig PCP Remix) -- Song Premiere - Spinner

at Nigno's Paradise Pt.1

relishing the cudly hands of a drunken haze, you're slowy gyrating, waiting for that sweet feeling to vanish.
You smile back at the crowd, marvel at the lights, troubles a mile away, hoping it'll never end.
No sot fast Pied Piper, hold your wheels of steel, build it up for the undesired finish.
Surely the extras will leave the stage soon, but come on, give us another Disco Godsend.

December Playlist

Yes, I know I'm a bit of a self indulgent spoiled nerd, I love playlists and presents, and obviously December calls for both.

I indulged and bought more CDs, LPs, 12's , 10's ( how cool is a Deutsch Grammophon 10inch EP featuring the talent of Carl Craig, Mortiz Von Oswald and François Kevorkian) and 7's than during the last 2 months and it felt bloody amazing. Xmas 2009 was a good one too in terms of music presents as my sister gave me the fantastic LP My Life in The Bush Of Ghosts and my lovely girlfriend superb represses of the Radioactivity and Surf's Up LPs.

Whether we're talking of Lindstrom's currently much talked about crazy version of Little Drummer Boy, a welcome return to a certain definition of house courtesy of the likes of Azary and III, Canyons, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Floating Points or House of House, the smart XX remix of Florence and The Machines, the mighty power trio of Them Crooked Vultures, the bearded guilty pleasure procured by Amaziah and Washed Out and the selected balearic-yacht rock- nu disco newbies and reedits that stand out (The Doves remixed by Lindstrom, Bottin remixed by Faze Action and In Flagranti, Rocha remixed by Mugwump, Harvey or Reverso 68) in a sea of irritating noodly efforts, the mesmerizing talent of such orchestral wizards as Sufjan Stevens or Choir Of Young Believers, the psychedelic goodness of Dungen, December delivered a well of mind blowing listening experiences coupled with much foot tapping and hip swaying in your very own muso's den.

I don't know why, but all this music and the excitement that goes with it makes me think of New York and the curious conflicted feelings associated with my previous visits. Hopefully next time I'll be swept off my feet.

Anyway NYE's close and maybe I'll dance this time - so check that monster Rick Wilhite track recently reissued on Rush Hour for everyone's enjoyment, including mine! Merry Xmas again and a very Happy New Year to you all
