I Am In Love - Cole Porter Sings (Should I order cyanide or Champagne?)

I have lived in Spain for 15 years, during all of my time here I have been surrounded and submerged  in and by music, tonight a certain Tomaso Douglas  played the best song anybody has ever played whilst I have lived and listened to pre-recorded music in Spain.  Which DJ plays Cole Porter in Madrid? Now a day, who does that? Nobody plays Cole Porter, it´s not fair, well it´s not fair to say "nobody plays him", as they clearly do,  that somebody was Tomaso, spinning history in our bar in Lavapies. inside the authentic little Traveling Bar, a place that on more than one occasion can defy and remember musical gems like no other place in the city -what a treat and even strange, whilst listening to the song, no-one, absolutely no body was their, it was just the two of us, inside listening, my own personal show from Cole Porter and of course I requested more. As it stands today on Youtube I was the 823rd person to have played Cole Porter - I am in Love on Youtube today,

Jansky Noise - Plays live in Madrid

In a true and impossible style Jansky noise just appeared in Madrid . True as this did happen and impossible because if you wanted to go, yourself you most probably couldn't as you will most probably have read this after the event. How was it? There was plenty of noise and variation of texture especially from Horacio Pollard and xxxxxx. Jansky played another way Starting with Mississippi blues,  the music was then taken into a kaleidoscope of hymns, and rituals, to slide on through electro, break beat, dubbing his soul and rubber neck funk for those fortune to be in the room.  The event gave birth to an epic rural limbo and movement of hips. In the words of Horacio "Jansky got the party started and kept it there".

Demis Roussos - Forever and Ever

What a song, I mean come on. Demis, really this is eternal. It´s just too good. Play loud, play clear, what an absolute belter....Everyday, more and more I am like Demis, one word a hero! Dream come true!!! Enjoy your summer.

We have reached a point —  where it is essential to speak about the continued Russian Scandal. As the game of thrones like political oust, has demonstrated and  Mariano  Rajoy is out. This is more than just a minor controversy it´s a national drama.  While this is explosive and damaging, the major scandal is sprawling and leaking out, as evidence suggests that the Russians have played a hand in the fall of Mariano Rajoy.  News is still coming in from the boundaries and it's a  blurry affair. As ever the Russians are fast to react and defend their case. However this time the cover-up comes in the form of a cover song from the fortified Kremlin . The Kremlin  normally remain silent however the have broken the  constitutional parameters with a Blues  lament  with strong Russian undertones for Mariano Rajoy. P receding to pass through several  episodes, and themes however is this enough to eliminate  the Russians from this new Spanish scandal ?   What is worse the crim

Newcleus - Computer Age (Push The Button) (1984)

Computer Age (Push the button) sounds as fresh today as it did 35 years ago.  Newcleus, have been jamming on it forever now, this track helped many others to push the button, as did the Jam on it track.  Ben Cozmo D Cenac pushed a button that never stopped, actually it helped to trigger so much, when you hear this kind of music, you want to start lockin, popping, and looking for cardboard to break on!  As someone commented on Youtube " JAMS for grown ups!!" Word.. I am glad, I had the pleasure of knowing and feeling Newcleus from the day this was launched,  been cranking in my playlist for 35 years, and the CRANK continues to JAM ON IT.

Purple Haze - Kronos Quartet

The Kronos Quartet doing a blotted or hazy version of Jimmy Hendrix Purple Haze. Quite a thing. I wonder if the San Francisco quartet were lucky enough to enjoy Jimmy live or the Haze of back yonder. They certainly have been around long enough to try the Haze, smoked or in blotted paper format, perhaps both and all, and they would be in the right geographical location too. With or without a smoke or blotted paper, I like Jimmy and this version has been morphing around my senses and ears for sometime.

Miriam Makeba - The Click Song (Distinct Version)

Lemmy 'Special' Mabaso : See you later - My friend Jamie Steels soundtrack

In Madrid's sierra, 'neath the stars so bright, Our family gathered horizontal that night. Comets blazed across the sky, a sight so grand, While Lemmy's music plays, a life's soundtrack, so grand. And Jamie claimed this theme his life Laughter fills the air, as we imagined Jamie shopping to this sound, dreams within reach, Under starlit skies, we silently preach. Hopes and dreams, in the night, took flight, In the galaxys embrace, we found delight. In the garden of the Steels.

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.

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 .

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.

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.
