Ok IDM, heres what I just bought from the shop.
1) Jedi Knights - Big Ones EP - Universal Language EV043
A) Catch the Break
AA) Big Knockers
Fabulous loud bassy summer house music for throwing the windows
open wide and annoying the squirrels. Catch the break has a big
break beat and horns and strings and such, Big Knockers has an
even bigger funky as hell 4/4 beat and little else. May the funk
be with you.
This record also had an advert for Heard records on the back.
The first 3 releases are going to be
1) the ModWheel - Trip To Morocco EP
This is Tom Middleton - see an earlier post of mine
2) is going to be by Joshua, who is responsible for what I fondly
refer to as the 'crap' mix on The Way/The Deep double pack
3) is going to be by the Horn, and is called the pink (purple?)
sticker EP.
2) Metamatics - EP4 - clear
Kind of Dr rockit-ish chirpy stacatto smooth funky electroid sounds
very much in a clear style. Nice.
3) Photek - Ni ten Icy something or other - Science
Sharp and clattering metallic and jagged breaks. Photek can do
no wrong in my book, and this is no exception.
I also heard a new single from tranquility bass on the radio last night,
from the album 'Let the Freak Flag fly' (Astralwerks). It was
way out there. A live sounding break, loads of horns noodling away
in random directions, lots of bizarre vocal samples going off all over
the place. Very long, and very dense. Epic. (though not as good as
either Cantamilla, or They came in peace, but then I hate it when my
favourite bands progress :)
Cheers
