Because rhythm speaks one tongue The stunning psychedelic power of Ozo’s Anambra envelops you like shadows projected by a solid canopy of majestic trees raising in the deepest recesses of the heart of darkness. It resonates with the enigmatic echo of a secret hidden behind a door you can only open with the key of…

Lines Disappearing to the Centre of A Circle

Praise to Lovefingers, the vast all-encompassing knowledgeable ones, who float through cyberspace like a giant orb of malevolently humming eyes, searching for the best disco and cosmic decadence ever committed to humble vinyl. Then, sometimes they edit them to achieve maximum enlightenment: Nitedog – Mars (Nitedog’s Lunar launch) It’s Nitedog, not Lovefingers! Yeah I know,…

Disco dot disco

I have just placed an order for LCD Soundsystem’s ‘Confuse the Marketplace’ US-only 12” release and I am sure you’ll do the same after listening to Freak Out/Starry Eyes.
