Mack Apollo - Gives us an original AFRICA - Vaporwave Style

Vaporwave and Chill wave are nothing new One of the biggest hits from the scene has to be the Toto Africa track, on Youtube you can find at least five versions in various states and forms. At least 8 years has passed since vaporwave emerged. Apollo Mack has released an original version of Africa, which according to vaporwave gospal has been given the proverbial slow treatment, we hope you agree it´s a great vapor dub companion. We hope you enjoy the ride into vaporland.

Remember brothers and sisters We must be very thankful for what we got, and there has never been a better time to contemplate this. Just remember brothers and sisters you really can stand tall!    

The Kondi Band - Thogolobea (Lv Remix)

I love the electronics in this I am looking forward to having this record on vinyl, I hope I can get a copy. This will go down really well on the patios in Madrid, where we play next to the river in the Cantina, which is part of the Matadero. Apparently the  Kondi Band is a collaboration between Sierra Leonean kondi (thumb piano) player Sorie Kondi and US producer / DJ Chief Boima, who himself has Sierra Leonean roots. http://www.strut-records.com https://www.facebook.com/StrutRecords

Heilung | LIFA - Krigsgaldr LIVE

You have to give them more than a look Great video, amazing live show, and powerful work. So many elements have come together to make this. Lifa reminds me very much of my work with Cromagnon and my remix of Orgasm made more than 20 years ago. My message to Heilung - LIFA would be " welcome, there´s much space on the earth for you, and so many people who need to see you ", please keep making it .  

AYABAMBI - PRAYER

Time for a little Charlotte

Time for a little Charlotte Moorman. We forget easily the influence musicians like Charlotte have had on bigger players. The Avant guard has influenced and continues to propel and arrive in our daily feeds. The naked cello player was much more than naked.

Wise words from Eno

A little unorthodox but certainly agreeable.

Juan was part of the plan - Metro Plex Atkins!

It was a hot evening in Austria, and I was attending the best festival in Graz. The festival was in full swing, with the crowd dancing to the beats of various techno legends. That's when I saw him, Juan Atkins, one of the godfathers of techno, making his way backstage. I could believe my luck when I saw him, and shortly after we were talking about Eastern bloc and Manchester. As we chatted, I couldn't help but notice his eyes on the girls backstage, he was looking for new encounters with the rich bounty of European ladies in the zone. Despite the bustling environment, Juan was kind enough to take the time to chat with me about music and share some stories, we also did a 1 on 1 photo shoot together, but I never saw the photos from this moment. It is always interesting meeting your idols, and those who inspired me and James Leyland Kirby so long ago. As the night went on, we made our way to the main stage to catch his set. The crowd was wild with excitement, and the energy in the

YALI YALI (Todd Terje Edit)

Apparently the words of this song address the people of turkey stating the following : "..not all that is rough, loud, brutal and strict is cool.." and the song refers to the leader of Turkey at the time. So, 'yali yali' means something like ' clear off (erdogan)' it's also a call up for everyone to use their mind and mind their heart!! I am just loving the loop, I wanted this records to be made in the 1970's and just realized it was! Actually 1977. However the Norwegian DJ and producer Todd Terje, which drew my eye as would Todd Terry has been meddling here, making this into a Nu-disco, Synthwave Acid ride. I am hearing so much KLF hook in that guitar loop. Love it. Neşe Karaböcek ‎– and Todd made doing great work here. Thanks.

Daevid Allen - euterpe gratitude piece

It's all about gnomes, they are in everything. Even in our code 503, whilst maintaining server. Thinking about gnomes reminded me of this, so I gave my friend Gabriela a link to a favorite album of ours, that I'd listen to at home in 94-95, and beyond, so long ago now.  That albums was Imaginary Landscapes on the Virgin Ambient label. You can certainly imagine to it, at 20 years of age, could I have imagined my being where I am now? The question is, where will I be in the next 20? Maybe I should ask the Gnomes!

2006 Australia Day Voyages - Way of the Bagpipe by PAN International

Fasinating to watch and listen to the Bagpipe here being played by so many countries and in so many ways. What a great tribute, shame this has been viewed by so few. Where did the bagpipe come from? Here you have a clue, although famed in Scotland, watching this video should help us to realize the bagpipe is a true instrument of the world.
