Feel my Bicep

Finally our plastic homage to Detroit has hit the shelves. BUY BUY BUY. Have a listen, we hope you like it. Instead of describe the track for you we thought it may be better to give you an insight into the production.

Bicep – 313

‘313’ was basically a melody I recorded of my laptop, my neighbour was getting his Jazz on, so I stuck the mic up to the wall and clicked record. **Note: he will have no credits on the sleeve- His dog shits all over my steps**. We knew the claps were a fundamental part of the track so to add some realism, we set off to Dalston market- inspired by stories of Marshall Jefferson hiring 15 people for the claps on his tunes when he played live. Instead of forming an alliance with the common people we stocked up on meat and what a fine selection there was on offer. On returning to the studio we took turns recording and slapping each other with various types of beef and fish- finally we layered these sounds to give this ‘Real‘ meat thing in action. The chatting you can hear around the start was recorded of my phone while in the waiting room of a very lively brothel, all I can say is that the recording got a little messy towards the end.

Bicep – Winter

‘Winter’ was just a demo song on our DAW, cant believe people didn’t pick up on this one ;)

Hope this gave you a brief insight into the lengths we take in the strive for perfection! And perfection it is.

Finally…..after……what ……seemed …….like……ages…..DFA finally released the 45:33, mysterious remix package! For me 45:33 was LCD Soundsystem’s finest work, in particular i loved part 1 and 2. “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” came to mind when I actually heard this was going to come out, so I was quite apprehensive about hearing it. The first remix on the pack from Runaway actually blew me away, taking their deep disco chugger style to a new level, its outstanding. Initially I was just going to post this tune, but cant, the whole EP is great- each track for different reasons. As Phonica put it

“Eight killer remixes from a variety of producers that pretty much cover the whole spectrum of 4/4 music. Padded Cell, Pilooski, Riley Reinhold, Prins Thomas, Trus’me Prince Language and probably the most requested and talked about remix of recent times – the epic and slow-burning Theo Parrish remix.”

don’t know why I was worried!

The Comsat Angels were a post-punk band from Sheffield, England, active from 1978 to 1995. Their music has been described as “abstract pop songs with spare instrumentation, many of which were bleak and filled with some form of heartache.”

A great tune played by Tensnake in his recent BIS mix, “I’m Falling” was also featured in the movie Real Genius with Val Kilmer. Awesome jerky 80s pop, it even has some panpipes!

This 12″ came out on Modular last year and seems to be sold out, think it was a limited edition press. after purchasing a while back I didn’t realise it was Ladyhawke until recently, now that this tune is getting rinsed in the mainstream- either way this remix is a cool take on things. As Phonica puts it “Mock & Toof’s punk funk workout really hits the spot!”

Model 500 is back with their new track “Huesca”. The infamous Juan Atkins is joined by Detroit area producer Mark Taylor and ‘Mad’ Mike Banks of Underground Resistance, coming together to put together a new album as well as a live show. “Huesca” is straight ‘outta Detroit with it’s electro influenced rhythms riding atop the pounding kick drum accompanied by enormous and melancholic keys and a subtle yet prominent bassline, sure to resonate with any fan of techno and to interest any fan of music in general.

Great Interview with the Teacher of Techno himself with clash Magazine.

Absolutely have been loving this track over the past couple of weeks, it is of the Berghain 03 EP which also features a Radioslave tune (Neverending). Released earlier this year on Ostgut Tonträger along alongside a mix CD from Len Faki, featuring a couple of unreleased tracks. For me this EP captures the rollercoaster, dark but yet euphoric atmosphere of Berghain/ Panorama Bar perfectly- even more so than the first 2 releases.

you can pick his up in the usual places, but here is a preview.

This classic has kept me going all day, one of the first vinyls I bought, but didn’t even play it until I heard Garnier play it Live a few weeks after. There is something about it which makes you want to do the techno viking- on fast forward. All the talk of The Man with the red face but this tune has a special place in my heart, up there with my favorite techno tunes.

A more jacking version to the one that was eventually released on DFA, both awesome remixes I could see why it was hard to choose between them. This one was on his myspace for ages so you may still recognise it.

Cool key changing disco funk that should hit the spot, with some Bollywood vibes running through for good measure.
