Listen: Kidzen
Bass player Cameron Undy’s new album for Future Classic (as Kidzen) is the best thing from the label to date. Here’s first single Superpeople.
Listen: Astronomy Class
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!
Listen: Faux Pas remix
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.
Listen: Triosk
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.
Listen: Timeblind
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
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.
