This one just snuck right under my nose a few years back. You may remember Out Hud, the NY band Tyler, Nic and Justin from !!! used to play in around the early 2000’s. Well, Id only heard the one track, ‘Its For You’, from Cut Copy’s T5 Soul Sessions mix at around the 8 and a half minute mark. I got my hands on their second album (thankyou to CSW) and its actually really great. I may be preaching to the converted here, but this is still a new little gem for me.


MP3: Out Hud - It’s For You


MP3: Out Hud - The Song So Good They Named it Thrice

Another classic No Wave track from 1980 by guitarist Glenn Branca. Dug up on one of the New York Noise Compilations. Worth it.


MP3: Glenn Branca - Lesson #1 For Electric Guitar

Now one of my favorite tracks from The Cocteau Twins. Highly influential Dream Pop band from the when the scene was thriving in the mid to late 80’s. This is only a taster but, as with the other band I recommended recently Slowdive, this is a band worth delving into for a beautiful and lush back catalogue.


MP3: Cocteau Twins - Lorelei

BONUS (As per request from Zachary May):

MP3: Cut Copy - T5 Soul Sessions

Yeah. It’s Anzac Day and I’m giving props to Frenchies. Well with the news that We Love Sounds is going have Cassius as part of its line-up, along with Mr. Oizo, !!!, Lindstrom (yeahboyz!), The Whip and a Marina-less Bonde do Role, it looks like OneLove have actually done something right. Now for them not to let fluoro kids in their shindigs. My big up to Gallic kids this week is in relation to this, so Philippe Zdar is the man of the hour.

Apart from being uber-producer extraordinaire to artists like MC Solaar, Chromeo and our very own (as in Melbourne) Cut Copy, Mr. Philippe Cerboneschi has produced some tremendous work of his own. In the mid 90’s, his work with Etienne de Crécy under the name of Motorbass was as slammin’ house as slammin’ house could get, but there was still that touch of funk, most notably on the ‘Around the World’ remix.

After meeting Boom Bass whilst producing Solaar’s album, they formed the group Le Funk Mob, which then went on to be Cassius. There is not a week where I don’t listen to 1999. I simply love it. Their body of work over the years has always had that certain sense of now, along with some hip-hop roots.

Not surprising…they love Flavour Flav. Enjoy.


MP3: Chromeo - Needy Girl (Zdar Dub Mix)


MP3: Chromeo - Fancy Footwork (Zdar Dub)


MP3: Daft Punk - Around the World (Motorbass Vice Mix)


MP3: Air - Sexy Boy (Cassius Remix)


MP3: La Chatte Rouge - Affaires a Faire (Etienne de Crécy & Philippe ‘Zdar’ Cerboneschi; AKA Motorbass)


MP3: La Funk Mob - Poem of Darkness

MP3: Sebastien Tellier - La Ritournelle (requested to be removed)

More to come!

Warp Records, home of !!!, Grizzly Bear, Battles, Boards Of Canada, Aphex Twin, Jamie Lidell etc, constantly release some of the most interesting and experimental electronica around. This is no exception. Turning Dragon is the new album by Clark, and it is such an appropriate title. These tracks are loud, abrasive IDM and flow so well, and listening back on his previous albums, he has produced a far more refined sound.


MP3: Clark - Truncation Horn


MP3: Clark - New Year Storm
