From time to time you hear something that is like nothing else. Sadly, this happens to me very few times, as I believe I have had the joy of being exposed to much and many audio delights. This record re-released by Svitlana Nianio & Oleksandr was one of them. On first listen I took a wild stab in the dark sayint it could be Nico. I was a long way off, I knew it, but I couldnt pin anything on this music. Quite extraordinary a real gem. Enjoy!

  Andrew Weatherall, the legendary DJ and record producer, left an indelible mark on the music world. His groundbreaking work on Primal Scream's 1991 album Screamadelica earned it the inaugural Mercury Prize.  It is a great shame to hear of his passing this week, as he was quite a producer and DJ. From his early days as an acid house DJ in the late '80s to his celebrated remixes for Happy Mondays, New Order, and Primal Scream, Weatherall's musical journey was nothing short of extraordinary. Screamadelica's revolutionary mix of indie, hard rock, house, and rave remains his most memorable achievement for many, but I personally loved the Sabers in Paradise, but what ever your tipple is the man had a skill for captivating a mainstream audience and winning critical acclaim.  Beyond that, Weatherall ventured into collaborative projects like Blood Sugar, Two Lone Swordsmen, and the Asphodells. In recent years, he graced us with solo albums like Convenanza, Consolamentum, and Q

Search Results for Micheal  Kiwanuka and Jansky Noise  It has to be said, that you would never throw these two musicians together, but the law of averages and the laws of or rules of life can sometimes be a  disappointment or of benifit.  When an object does not appear to behave consistently, it may roll off in any direction, bound, lay or just lag at various, any or no distances. Certainly today there is no better way to position Jansky Noise and Micheal Kiwanuka , two polar opposite musicians, who have no reason for any kind of connection what so ever, but for one reason, beyond math, but inside the laws of natural phenomenon here they do collide.  Whilst browising todays Googlekeyword search results for the term "Jansky Noise Ethnoshere" - we see see Michael in our results. Is it Jansky Noise bringing Michael closer to the ethnoshere, or Micheal Kiwanuka being submerged in the ethnosphere? It´s not for me to answer, all I can do is observe the laws and distrib

In the vast landscape of classic house music, one record that undeniably stands out is Joe Smooth's "Promised Land," released in 1987. With its infectious beats and uplifting melody, it's a timeless anthem that has left an indelible mark on dance music history. But could this iconic track have been influenced by The Gap Band's 1983 hit, "Someday"? Let's delve into the intriguing connections and inspirations that shape the evolution of music. A Glimpse into Joe Smooth's Influences In a recent interview with Muzikxpress, Joe Smooth shared insights into the creative process behind "Promised Land." He mentioned influences such as Stevie Wonder, whose musical genius is revered by many. Interestingly, Stevie Wonder also collaborated with The Gap Band on various occasions, underlining the interconnectedness of the music world. Motown's Spirit and The Gap Band Joe Smooth's interview revealed his deep appreciation for Motown and the desi

Oh, you have to love Paddy McAloon I do indeed, I have been trawling the Megahurtz for so long now.  Wonderful that this got remastered, and a chance to be heard, listen to and found again. If you go back on these very pages, go way back you will find - I Trawl the Megahertz (FULL ALBUM) — Paddy McAloon It´s quite an extraordinary work. I can never get enough of it.

Sometimes the future is hard to imagine, 20 years ago, this would have been impossible. Time has a wonderful way of moving the goal posts, and youth culture, keeps moving the building blocks, it´s not as far as this can go by any means, but it has got my attention.

Im really enjoying this piece right now at home The melody, and sustained didgeridoo playing slides around with an almost Tuvan throat singing, Mongolian throat harmony making the piece glide revitalising that circular breathing.

I had to share this one. Love the way they gate and chop this baby.

A stack of great Jazz comes my way, with an extra bonus   Fortune, it's a funny thing. Yesterday July 22nd 2019, I made a moment to fly in on King Bee Records 519 Wilbraham Rd, Chorlton. Nothing special about this, I have been passing by this record store for the past 30 years.  This time was no different, except I managed to pick up a stack of Jazz LPs,  the likes of The Oscar Peterson Trio, Ella & Louis, Coleman Hawkins, Duke Ellington, Errol Garner, Joe Newman and his band, Billie Holiday, Fats Waller, Jimme Lunceford, Pee Wee Erwin, Art Tatum, yes, I know, that's a lot of names, I walked out of the record store with more than 20 vinyl LPs.   At the time of purchase I was not paying too much attention to the hand written names written on the back of many of the vinyl LP ́s I snaffled. At home I realised I have picked up a wedge of vinyl from one gentleman by the name of Derek Tiptons. So, a rather nice slice of Dereks collection is now mine! 

These lyrics are perfect for everyone today  The world is not in a good place, Iran, Brexit, Trump, climate change, corruption, cryptocurrency, food and water security, contamination, the list goes on, knowone knows the trouble we have seen nor where we are heading.    Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Nobody knows my sorrow Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory, Hallelujah Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Nobody knows but Jesus Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory, Hallelujah Sometimes I'm up Sometimes I'm down Oh, yes, Lord Sometimes I'm almost to the ground Oh, yes, Lord Oh, nobody knows the trouble I've seen Nobody knows my sorrow Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory, Hallelujah Oh, every

What a version Ella and Louis had so much fun So nice to hear these two legends, flowing and swinging with two gorgeous smiles, and as close as you can be in a duet. It's one of those recording where you have to say they nailed it. As the incredible Norman Granz would have said " genuinely too good to explain".

Where did he go? Crossfire," a captivating track by the artist Stephen, strikes a profound chord with its listeners through its emotive depth and compelling lyrical narrative. This song is not just an auditory experience; it's a powerful commentary on the complexities of societal issues, wrapped in a melody that's both haunting and beautiful. Stephen's vocal delivery is raw and sincere, creating an immediate connection with the listener. The song starts with a gentle, melodic intro, setting a reflective mood before building up to a more intense, almost anthemic chorus. This dynamic shift in energy not only showcases Stephen's versatility as an artist but also mirrors the tumultuous nature of the subjects he tackles within the lyrics. What sets "Crossfire" apart is its ability to blend a poignant message with a sound that's accessible to a wide audience. The track navigates the fine line between being thought-provoking and universally appealing, making

This is brilliant, your all in so deep you carnt hear or see a thing. Fear has gotten you. Reminds me of the Residents, I love this!

Four years ago today Demis passed away in Athens. The more I learn about Roussos the more I love the guy. Forever and ever.

The WildMountain Thyme Artist : Albert Kuvezin Now, I have heard some versions in my time, and always been fond of Japp Blanc, but this cover version of the Corries - Go Lassie Go by Alber Kuvezin throat singer, is just fantastic.  Especially since I just arrived back to  The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond oh, and how  bonny Scotland is!  This cover is a beast, what a tribute. A super cover.  Lyrics O the summer time has come And thr trees are sweetly bloomin' The wild mountain thyme Grows around the bloomin' heather Will ye go lassie go? refrain: And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go lassie go? I will build my love a bower By yon cool crystal fountain And around it I will pile All the wild flowers o' the mountain Will ye go lassie go? refrain I will range through the wiles And the deep glen sae dreary And return wi' their spoils Tae the bower o' my dearie Will ye go lassie go

Quite an incredible piece of work this one, the timing is so good, Farai's voice digs deep, asking questions for Teresa May to answer. That's a solid attitude, respect! 

River Of Stars by Adrian Freedman I love it when a song helps me breath and calm and here is one just song.  Well, it is more of a voyage than a song, it´s a voyage that you play and never wish to stop, there is no need to put it down, as you barely need to pick it up. The piece moves effortlessly over you, washing and drifting helping you breath, there is no weight.   In times when more and more we find intensity on every corner  It is a blessing to have a song which helps us ease into a place of serenity. If indeed you wish to give yourself 22min. of total peace. Take the time to play this.    The song is part of the Kindres Souls playlist. You can find more of this music on Adrians  Shakuhaci and website. Enjoy.

The Summer is over, and what a crazy and emotional time it has been. I was so glad to say goodbye to August 2018, dam.

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,

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".

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.
