jon hanuman and sam atki2 record together under the name monkeysteak and they have a new record out on sleazetone. one can buy it here or here in the not too distant future, if you believe the scurryings of a certain norse squirrel. this one is drummed like soca.
and a quick version of it pitched down with acapella. chop chop.
monkeysteak vs the dream – falsetto history
straight to the point. AGF in collaboration with Gudrun Gut on Radio3’s late junction. you can listen for the next few days and here it is, rescued from the absence that follows. BBC spoken intros contextualise when left in and remind me of peel sessions. The set is called ‘baustelle’ and takes house building as its theme.
AGF & Gudrun Gut – baustelle session
Intro
Drilling an Ocean For You
Wir Bauen Eine Neue Stadt
Betongiessen
Constructing with Words
elsewhere there’s an AGF cover of Rhianna’s ‘disturbia’ floating around.
and a lot more free material at her website. including a preview of a new collaboration with partner vladislav delay.
Gut hosts a weekly radio show called ocean club with Thomas Fehlmann and runs monika records which is due to release it’s third edition of # women no cry: compilations curating the work of female electronic music artists (previously here). a podcast from last year featuring artists from the series can be found here.

telepathé (i may have imagined that accent) have a really pleasantly suprisingly wonderfully bassy record out now (called ‘dance mother’). mr /r had them on his radio show the other week (mp3 / t-list). and a studio video here. they’re touring america, europe and japan in the not too distant… note the importance of the edit in mopping up bloody valentines.
telepathé – trilogy – breath of life, crimes and killings threads and knives

broken beat is often derided. it’s from West London. it’s influenced by jazz. many people who listen to it may or may not have a copy of the observer balanced embarassingly on the edge of their coffee table. it challenges people because they associate it with things they assume are unchallenging. and such. it has, however always shared the back seat with garage, dubstep (before it was called that) and house. back when J da Flex had a show on 1xtra you used to hear Zed Bias, El-B, MJ Cole, Menta alongside Bugz in the Attic and Landslide (off hospital records – usually a DnB label). The main night (co-op) travelled with fwd from the liquid rooms to plastic people and used to be on fwd’s present sunday night spot. so although it’s often derided, it’s a part of everything else (and more specifically things you might think of as valuable). oh and house… did i mention house? that’s important.

misa negra is kaidi tatham, afronaught is on the remix. this one is old. it came out on IG Culture’s label, people records in 1998.
misa negra – spiritual vibes (afronaught dub)
—
kaidi tatham and afronaught are two members of bugz in the attic. bugz did (do?) a LOT of remixes (i remember a great one of Macy Gray). here they are making a muscle up on Berlin’s Jazzanova.
jazzanova – mwela mwela (here i am) (bugz in the attic remix)

solid groove is also known as switch who’s also known as a. brucker who’s also done a lot of remixes with sinden who also runs a radio show which also plays a lot of those cumbia, schalchtofbronx, funk, b-more things which you also may listen too. this track is low and from 2005.
solid groove – flookin (solid groove remix)

dom um romao is a brazilian percussionist who has played on a lot of very good jazz (and indeed fusion) records and has about a dozen under his belt as a bandleader. here’s a track from opaque (that’s seiji by any other name) off this 2002 record of dom um romao remixes.
dom um romao – lake of perseverance (opaque remix)
—
here’s a sean paul bootleg. i have next to no information about this. the label had a cartoon of a naked fat woman and a hotmail address. there was another dom um romao remix on the same 12 which is on discogs here.

this one is a spasm. obviously in a good way. i don’t know if you’d call it broken beat. obviously this doesn’t matter. the percussion is broken every way. plus SIRENS. there’s a bio of boston rodriguez here. if you only download one of these…
hello.
here is some quiet music. some of it is quiet because it’s quiet and some of it is quiet because the frequencies are too low to be heard.
杉本拓と佳村萠 – イス３…
taku suigmoto & moe kamura – A Chair 3
杉本拓と佳村萠 – イス2…
taku suigmoto & moe kamura – A Chair 2
(Japanese metadata)
both of these are from this lovely record.
–
taku sugimoto usually works through a label called hibari music. elsewhere on that label Toshiya Tsunoda’s field recordings of maguchi bay, kanagawa prefecture (map below) . first track is as recorded to DAT, the second contains frequencies below 20Hz extracted from the first.
consider it inaudible relief time for those with a hole in their download(ing/ed) stomachs.
