Jansky Noise - Past Present & Future Star Music

Thanks to DJ Butho The Warrior in Glasgow , I was reminded of this track today: Messages from the Stars by The RAH Band. Originally released in 1985, this cosmic synth-funk gem still shines, beaming bright spaced-out, and totally ahead of its time. It’s the kind of track that makes you wonder how the past can sound more futuristic than half of today’s playlists. With its shimmering electronic textures, Messages from the Stars  is clearly a massive hit with it's 47Million plays currently on Facebook.  There's something beautifully haunting and optimistic about it, like receiving a transmission from a distant galaxy that says, "We’re still out here. Keep dancing." If you've never heard it: float back in time and tune in.

5 Nov 2020 — Tomoko Aran - Kanzen Hanzai Kanzen Hanzai is a nostalgic dive into that old-time line, that was onced called New Wave, the point is it was new in the 80's and while it was driven by keyboard lines that shimmer like lost songs — the kind you might call Hall & Oates piano . This path leads us to a standout track from Tomoko Aran's cult classic album 神経衰弱 (Shinkeisuijaku) , released on 25 July 1981   so just over 43 years ago in Japan. The album blends synth-pop, city pop, jazz, and Kayōkyoku in a beautifully fractured way — clean yet chaotic, sweet yet cynical. It captures that moment when Japan’s music scene was deep in experimentation and high on style. Backing band Mariah (yes, *that* Mariah) and producers Daikoh Nagato and Yasuaki Shimizu create a soundscape that feels cinematic, streetwise, and strangely timeless. Tracklist A1: Secret Desire （下心） — 2:56 A2: 悲しきボードビリアン — 4:26 A3: So Get Up （要塞の女たち） — 4:12 A4: 乱れたベッド — 3:05 ...

I dialed the number — Official, clean — they say it’s DVLA. But what beams back? Japanese Auto Solutions . Oh, perfect. Is this Tokyo or Swansea? Am I licensing a dream or paying for the privilege of confusion? The music plays — A hold line bad muzak tango, "You’ll be answered in 10 minutes," but it’s now 30 and I’m still pirouetting in limbo, running in circles, around and around,   to the tune of government bad jazz — off-key, off-track, a symphony for the sleepless and fed up. Meanwhile, they siphon from the people, disconect your DD, extracting quiet desperation, through taxes dressed as duties, wrapped in policy, spoken with a smile, while war machines keep rolling, in the Gaza background. Stop. That's the word — Stop your taxing. Stop your scams. Stop your names that lie on screens like masks in a haunted call centre. Honestly, the UK? It’s cracked on the cracklin. It’s crooked like old paint on a fake ceiling. And beneath it — just Ai, ...

Just a few days ago, on July 2nd , it would have been the birthday of Coco , visionary artist, anti-músico, productor, cineasta, fotógrafo — and one half of the profoundly influential Silvania alongside Mario . https://www.facebook.com/silvania.cielo Coco left us many moons ago , but his spirit continues to resonate through the echoes of underground sound and light. I was reminded of his birthday by Mario, who continues to honour their shared legacy. Coco and I first connected in the early 2000s through our shared love of experimental and electronic music — that wild, uncharted space where noise, emotion, and the unknown all collide. We shared many nights clubbing in Madrid , and just as many afterparties filled with laughter, sound, and surreal detours into the morning light. What made Coco special was his vision . He got it . He saw the strange intensity in my V/Vm work and supported it without hesitation. He was one of the first to champion what I was doing, and thanks to his ...

My good friend Carlos over in Madrid recently sent me a photo of himself—an old drawing from 1993. The image stayed with me, so I reinterpreted it as a tribute. Carlos is a dreamer, no doubt about it. A lover of nature, of still moments, of the deeper things. He walks gently in the world, with a big heart and an open spirit. Men like that—who dare to dream and lead with kindness—are rare. And always welcome in my book. I've paired this memory of Carlos with a song that feels like his dreams: tender, wistful, full of quiet hope, birds, love, and nature. The song is called “Nocturne” by the Orchestra of Symphony and Popular Music of PU Alexander Mikhaylov . A beautiful Russian piece that drifts like a breeze into the twilight. Because I believe his dream—like so many of ours—was simply to live with ease, and to love fully. ( Орк. Симф. И Эстрадной Музыки ПУ Александра Михайлова – Ноктюрн ) To old and new dreams and to our true friends. Keep your dream alive.
