Awesome. Ozi Batla, Chasm and Sir Robbo’s first record together, as Astronomy Class, is about to drop - think heady dancehall hip hop, like this one featuring Lotek.

Listen: Brother Sister

A Melbourne label that’s put all its releases up for free d/l. And they’re really great - lots of interest in songs from Kharkov, Drama for Yamaha and Young Love that I played on FBI on Thursday night. Go and listen!

Travelling sample masher Faux Pas has an on-the-road Gotye remix on his site that, he says, takes extra ingredients from Konk, Liquid Liquid, Man Parish and Oscar Sulley. It’s ace.

Pike, Klumpes and Waples are finally back with a new album after taking time out for Pivot, solo jams and lots of touring. It’s breathtaking as ever, but in case that’s not enough, here’s a live set recorded for Tim Ritchie’s killer show on Radio National.

Hell yeah. Like his label boss DJ/Rupture, former NYC and now Berlin-based DJ/music maker Timeblind rolls in jungle, dancehall, hip hop, techno, grime and on and on. It’s hot. Click on the record or find more at his site.

Listen: Gotye

without comments

Gotye’s debut got critical props. He’s back with a Francois Tetaz-mastered sequel that sounds like five bands fighting for space - electro, northern soul, dark emotional pop.

Wally De Backer (Gotye/The Basics) on FBI’s Join The Dots Thursday 25/05/06 from 9pm.

Joakim’s at the mixing desk. Bits of Italo, indie, noise - Talking Heads, Joy Division, The Fall - the new album sounds more compilation than album. Here’s a taster:
