real nice vibes from Chilean label collab between Diamante Records & No Problema Tapes. Dunno which one the artist Pablo R. Ruiz is particularly affiliated with or whether No Problema Tapes just enabled the cassette release or whatever but get on it cos it’s a limited run of 25 – or don’t cos you can just download the thing until the internet runs out. Listening to this this morning I feel like i can hear the Latino influence and you will too probably but maybe it’s just cos we  knew it was before listening to it……. ?

at the end of the day it’s all protein anyway

lo-fi , heavy highs track from early sounds recording vol 2. Eat up that crunchy kick.   

Suuper nice builds. From the V/A Maddler release from Italian netlabel Ruzzi – free to download here too 

Those early naughties tiki vibes that we’re all salivating over at the moment – from the OST of the Playstation game Rayman 3 (released in 2004). Reminds me of Kava Kon or something… the first track is essentially a cover of Hit the Road Jack… Ray Charles would later die that year…

Crossing the swamp. mp3
Moonlit Swamps – Echoes in the dark.mp3
Teensie Highway (muffled).mp3
Pursuing Andre – the first hoodlum.mp3

two tracks released a year apart in ’92 & 93 respectively from J-pop songstress Mishio Ogawa. Now aged 56, the former member of groups such as Chakra and Love, Peace & Trance – Ogawa has worked beside Y.M.O.’s Haroumi Hosono, whilst still finding the time to manage her Twitter account.   –

Driven by a throbbing baseline, SBD rides echoey waves of layered synths through the heavens, bumbing into housey kicks along the way. before burning up and breaking into the great unknown at 3:18. Super nice third release from the guys at Manchester label Ceberus Future Technologies – and I think the debut from Montauk Boys. Out on cassette now – Buy that shit in all its 16 track glory here
