K homey, there ya go, Primavera. Nasti tent was the place were 20Jazzfunkkids saw !!! last year, the only reason they didn’t cry is they had sweated all their tears already. This year Nasti was somewhere else, we mean, a different venue, but the spirit of madness and moon-atic dancing stayed, and not only cos…
Crash Course In Science – Cardboard Lamb Bit confused about the lyrical meaning behind this track. Luckily Crash Course in Science were nice enough to provide us with a video which helps explain it in much clearer terms than I could. I’ll name that song in 10 say those of you who are trying to…

Sexton Ming and Billy Childish – Muscle Horse Sexton Ming the legend was part of the whole Medway Scene along with Billy Childish and although primarily a poet, artist and bloody awful woman (10 points style, 0 points convincing) recorded music with Steady, Thee Headcotes and a large list of other luminaries und nose pickers….
Nathan Fake – The Sky Was Pink (Icelandic Version) Nathan Fake is not a dj. Glad to hear it. He still managed to get to do the remix for Tiefschwarz – Isst which is no mean feat. The original of The Sky Was Pink is made unlistenable by some terrible drums, but this Icelandic Version…
We’re not talking James Lavelle-Nigo-Paul (shit) Frank Bathing apes, or yob apes, we’re talking prog-punk Apes motherfuckers who live in the mountains of Ozzy Osbourne’s imagination (gorillas in the mist!) and record fuzzy bassed heavy organ-loaded concept albums about magic, headtrips, wandering around mountains full of monsters and stuff. They hang out with Oneida and…

(well, there they got rid…
White Rose Movement – Love Is A Number White Rose Movement have been getting a hella lot o attention from London’s taste maker community, and the first single shows exactly why. A bit of a Joy Division bass line, tasty keyboards and soaring vocals reminiscent of Dex Dexter or if you got really bad taste…
Goto80 – Comsten We have covered stuff from the computer game music scene before like Teamtendo and Paza with good feedback (hey the kids just dig it!) and it seems to be getting more attention after its influence on the last Beck album. Goto80 manages to break a bit more of the mould on his…
Grace Jones – I’ve Seen That Face Before (Libertango) (DJ Hell & Jochen Schmalbach’s Berlin mix) For some people life is art. Leigh Bowery, Warhole, Amanda Lepore, Divine and all of the other marvalous Cockettes, Dee Snider, Micheal Alig, Cindy Sherman, Tommy Lee you name it they are all just freaking out there. DJ Hell…
It’s nice music today, non of that loud stuff I’m feeling sensitive.And no Canadians either. Gus Kay – Stereo Gus was nice enough to email us this track, which made us smile a lot. Gus Kay is not from Canada (I think he is Greek) and makes music off his own back without any label…
We are Wolves – We are all Winners Wow, i never win anything. Goldkixx has been my portal into the world of what seems to be the most vibrant music scene I’m so jealous of. Canadians are uber cool this decade, its official. Goldkixx was nice enough to point us in the direction of We…
