There is a new 12″ from DC Recordings signing White Light Circus, called ‘Interrupted Time’ that seems to have slipped out under the radar, complete with sexual-as-ever La Boca artwork. It must be time for an album now, right? Here is the flipside:

White Light Circus – Secret Operator

This pretty collection of sounds comes off like an Emperor Machine/White Light Circus/Goat Dance megamix, Jive-Bunny style, with all manner of satellite bleeps, quasar phasers and Martian jungle drums thrown in to create epic spacial havoc. It rolls along on a progressive synthesised bassline (as most of these style of things tend to) then gets totally cosmic in the middle for a space-station sized breakdown of galaxy-spanning morse code madness. There is even a kind of ‘chorus’ in the shape of spiralling codes and rhythmic flashes cutting across eachother. As pretty as the stars.

Label-mates, Padded Cell, have been creating devious remixes for a mixed bunch. This time its Future Loop Foundation’s turn.

Future Loop Foundation – The Sea and The Sky (Padded Cell Remix)

We dig Padded Cell like we dig Quiet Village. We love how the tracks they make could sound like the rumble from an underground clubnite put on by the cast of The Wicker Man, where the blood curdling bleeps, scratchy bat-wing blasts and flaming luna-module beats all come together to create a beautiful rhythmic Hell upon Earth. Quiet Village may be a bit more subdued, like a countryside Satan convention but the darkness is there and thats what we love.

On this remix there is the Anaconda throb of all good disco present, complete with guitar srapes and Inca tribe drumbeats straight from 70′s grindhouse movie nightmares. Then the stellar bleeps filter in and horns herald alien contact until we are back in the disco once more with kitch synth lines and extra-terrestrial hand claps.

many thanks to indy_skies for the track

May we also direct you to ON-OFF, where you can catch a 23 minute mix of bleepy fun featuring some of 20JFG’s faves…
