Förlusten av ansiktet, förlusten av långsamheten

Med elektronisk dansmusik tillåts en befriande ansiktslöshet träda fram i populärkulturen. Förutom i dansgolvens jagupplösning manifesterar sig anspråkslösheten i låttitlar (varandes dess enda textuella innehål, också musikens viktigaste berättelse) som i Simon Harris Only A Demo. Jag lyssnade på a-sidan, Here Comes That Sound, och tänkte på hur ännu 1988 den mesta populärmusiken var nertyngt [...]

SEASONAL MUSIC

Expanding on the subject, I bring you some seasonal music. TECHNO MUSIC: Yagya – Rigning Tvo A very beautiful and atmospheric dub-techno track coming from the ice-cold plains of Iceland. You can almost hear the springwater running from the melting ice. Boo Williams – Summer Love I’m really starting to get into this more traditional, [...]

Marko Fürstenberg – Cocktail Royale (EP)

They say dub is about making space. That is why it is music for the city, where space has always been missing. It’s getting more difficult to find somewhere to live. Rents are going up. New spaces are needed. Dub music, in one form or other, is necessary. This was the conclusion that came to [...]

DJ Mujava – Please Mugwanti (MP3)

DJ Mujava – Please Mugwanti Finally we can burn it of the Internet and bump it outside (or just buy it). Am listening to some more of this Kwaito stuff. Ten years old, it still sounds like some updated, next level house music, with very groovy bass-lines. For once, the vocals don’t bug you, which must [...]

The best Township Funk-remix

Dj Mujava – Township Funk (Skream Remix) Simple but effective rework that gives the track a whole other, big, dubstep, car-system feeling.

Travelling Through The Minimal Nation #2: FORM FROM MORF

Force Tracks releases the ideal meditative urban music. While ambient, drone, noise is the typical soundtrack for sinking into the void of contemplative nothingness, the dubbed-out tech-house and digital disco that Force Tracks has specialized in means meditation in movement, it means contemplating when moving through squares, stores, parks, crowds in streets, it means the [...]

DJ Mujava – Please Mugwanti

Real cool track… finally someone succeeded in doing hard house music!

Force Tracks for the summer

I dagarna ligger det väldigt nära till hands att lyssna igenom Force Tracks-katalogen. Techno, som vanligtvis hör natten till, har i den tappning som SCSI-9, Swayzak, MRI, Luomo och Dub Taylor serverar mer att göra med solsken och den urbana semesterns intensiva ljusupplevelser än industriområden och mörka, fuktiga nattklubbar (även fall det ena inte utesluter [...]
