Remarc - RIP

I’ve been listening to a lot of early 90′s hard core, jungle, proto-DnB radio show rips from the UK lately as I finish up some manuscripts for work.  I love the “RIP rest in peace” sample on this one and the drums are so sick and frenetic.  I find myself walking around the house “singing” RIP rest in peace! to myself a lot [as my partner silently looks on thinking to herself, what the fuck is he on about]

love, peace, and hair grease

Clark - Tooth Moves

Came to this via Tycho’s SnowGlobe 2017 set - https://soundcloud.com/tycho/snowglobe-dj-set -. I was vaguely aware of Clark, but didn’t know this song.  the first 2:06 of the song are so effing amazing.  The spiraling build up to the distortion-ey synths (Is a Moog or some modular rack?  Its Moog-ish in my mind) at 1:20 is so blissfully good. I can just turn it all the way up and pump it directly into my veins. so loverly so loverly.

peace,

Frankie Knuckles - Your Love

Because, why not. Classics running classics

Kelela - LMK

The video is fine. Kelela as a ratchet chick made me laugh a bit. I really love the music (Jam City ???).  I’m excited for her full length to make it out.

my favorite of the three tracks I’ve heard off this record so far.  his visual art inclinations really come through on this and the other videos he’s done for this record.  I particularly like the image of the person with the red cape rising their arms.

this is really quite dope.  The original was kind of on the posh/headphone side of DnB, I like Burial’s re-imagining of it in the hardcore/rave context.  this could have been on a Ruffage Krew record

the song is fucking dope (and I’m not a Kendrick fan per se). The video is on some Young Pope type shit.  I’m really quite impressed with this one.

again, @TheRealBenjiB bringing the old school heat on his show. Such a groove. It reeks of the early 70′s , but that is quite alright.
