December 17, 2016 / Rudy Carrera / Leave a comment

Dub and reggae are wonderfully adaptable. This compilation by NICE UP! Records is half-way through Advent, and there are six more freebies to come.

[Music] New Post Punk & Drone from Magnetic Ghost, Remora, & Luka Fisher on Silber

A press release from our friends at Silber Media:

Hello,

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you all are well. Doing my best to be thankful for the relatively good place I’m in even though life has been routinely difficult this year. But hey, life is supposed to be hard work anyway right? We’ve got three new releases ready for you now & then in just a few days the Christmas EPs will be ready. Maybe more stuff too as I’m trying to get out all the stuff that’s been waiting on me, some for over a year now.

Magnetic Ghost
So first up is Magnetic Ghost’s debut Loss Molecules. It’s a bit of a post punk & post rock hybrid. The thing it reminds me most of is Windsor for the Derby’s Difference & Repetition, which is an album that gave me a lot of ideas about music. Anyway, you should check it out. I agreed to put it out after hearing the first three minutes.

Luka Fisher
Luka Fisher put out a 5in5 last year & he recorded another little EP for us (this one 3 songs in 7 minutes). Improvisational drone collaborations. Worth checking out.

[Music] Taylor Deupree & Marcus Fischer – Wake

November 26, 2016 / Rudy Carrera / Leave a comment

Taylor Deupree is practically a legend in the world of electronica. Marcus Fischer is a very new name to me. Judging by how well these two work together, I can’t wait to hear more collaborations like this one.

[Music] Ghoula – Hlib el Ghoula

November 23, 2016 / Rudy Carrera / Leave a comment

Ghoula is an arist from Tunisia who makes an aural salad out of Hip-Hop, electronic music, North African ethnic instrumentation and whatever else he can throw in. It’s nice to hear real fusion still being made.

[Music] Janko Nilović – Funky Tramway

November 18, 2016 / Rudy Carrera / Leave a comment

One of the 70’s greatest funk albums didn’t come from the United States, Great Britain, Germany, or even Africa, for that matter. This gem came from Montenegro, which was then part of Yugoslavia, and it came from a very fruitful period Janko Nilović had from 1968 to 1978.

[Music] Rắn Cạp Đuôi – In A Grass House

November 11, 2016 / Rudy Carrera / Leave a comment

Rắn Cạp Đuôi, who hail from Saigon, Vietnam, came to my attention thanks to C-Drik Kirdec, who scours the most faraway places in order to find experimental music. These folks make fine experimental bedroom pop.

[Music] Murkok – My Friend Is Ivan Efremov EP

November 9, 2016 / Rudy Carrera / Leave a comment

Something calm, soothing and lovely to relax to after watching people make utter animals out of themselves the last 24 hours. Many thanks to Murkok for this treasure.

[Music] Pahat Kengät – Tanssimusiikkia

November 8, 2016 / Rudy Carrera / Leave a comment

I wish to thank my friend Neea for introducing me to one of the most enjoyable pieces of work I’ve heard in some time, allowing me to get lost in my work. Fans of minimalist composers like Steve Reich and the early Berlin Electronic School of Music will enjoy this. Pahat Kengät sit comfortably between Krautrock, contemporary classical music, New Age and a mellow form of techno.
