Just got this tasty remix of Brooklyn Zoo by Krts that mixes space-age synth sounds and some seriously hefty bass.  If you like this, keep your eye on the Krts Bandcamp as his album ‘remixes for beards and flannels’ is due to drop on the 1st of June.

Phantogram – Eyelid Movies

by Liam on March 18, 2010

If it’s true that records are capable of ‘growing’ on a listener then Eyelid Movies has taken root like Ivy in my shoes and proceeded to envelop me from head to toe.  I approached this album with a mixed set of preconceptions, firstly I’d read various articles around that described Phantograms music as ‘Electro-Pop’ – a genre labelling that currently turns my stomach for some reason (Ke$ha) – but on the other hand I thought that since it was coming out on Barsuk / BBE then it had to be worth a sniff.

I was fairly impressed upon first listen, there’s everything I love on this record, at times the production is flawless and sparkling and then it’ll switch to some grimey lo-fi effort.  It feels like a perfect amalgamation of old and new, urban and suburban.  There’s a seamless integration of electronic sounds, hip hop beats, ambient spaced-out synths and funk filled bass.  My favorite is the Dilla inspired ‘As far as I can see”  that brings out a snare that Premo would be proud of and a sample normally found in a Just Blaze beat.  It’s at this point I wish I could set up Google Alerts to notify me of every occasion somebody labels this album as electro pop so I can make it my lifes goal to hunt them down and feed them Ke$ha CD’s until they contract stupid idiot slag face disease and have to be quarantined in OC or E! Channel or wherever the fuck they put all them menks.

Conclusion = Album of the Week

Mount Kimbie

by Liam on March 18, 2010

Mount Kimbie are production duo Dom Maker and Kai Campos from London who make experimental electronic music with a distinctly dubby flavour and bags of atmosphere. Their tracks are emotional and captivating, every sound feels like it matters and has a purpose.  They’ve got a couple of 12’s out on Hot Flush and you can grab them here and here. Got these two nice remixes of Foals and The xx…enjoy.

The xx – Basic Space (Mount Kimbie Remix)

Foals – Spanish Sahara (Mount Kimbie Remix)
