Inside the crystal dome of the snowglobe that the Gods shake with childish abandon rises a pyramid of Jodorowsky tarot cards, at whose top you will find your animated 20jazzfunkgreats miniatures dancing in the midst of the blizzard, Christmas is coming and we shall enjoy it in our own special ways. Let the pagan celebrations…
Knights of Vipco struts through its martial streets, the red dawn poking through unforgiving edifices. Unpeturbed by the increasing use of dutch angles to track it’s progress and oblivious to the Bernard Herman Noir-horms that encircle it like sirens…it rounds a corner and runs straight into the pulsating Old God of euphoric 8-bit title music. …
You know of that talented gentleman George Quartz, well he’s got together with Personal Victories to deliver a cracking piece of tribal sturm and drang the likes of which we hadn’t heard since Excepter turned the stompbox on, acid concoction of industrial ghost dance poison injected into our hearts with a rusty seven inch long…
Another smooth breath of class from that imagined Paris where champions of good taste such as Joakim, Cosmo Vitelli or Dirty Sound System keep it happening. It is the latest crew who are behind the project we are telling you about today. Sport Hit Paradise is the imaginary soundtrack for an exhibition opening on the…
Packages from France focussing on historic moments in European history and featuring Swiss Industrial musicians covering German composers are something I receive too infrequently. Contained within the 2CDs of Berlin 61/89 – Wall Of Sound is an almost distracting quantity of amazing music quite a bit of which we’ve covered on 20JFG over the years…
I stumbled across Nowa Huta in the myspace with a big WOAH. I dropped them a line and said, send me your sounds when you have ‘em. Now we have ‘em. Are you ready? Nowa Huta- Antlers Which is but a brutal compression of space and sound, rain of impossible flowers over a sci-fi landscape…
So they say they plan to kill it in 2010, I say, you have been killing since day 1. It’s Pink Stallone, who have got together with 80s garage house singer Joey Washington for the next release, out in the new year. Here you have a track that won’t be included in that single: special…
We spiral in different directions, sometimes intersecting, sometimes drawn together by a collective appreciation. Most other times we go off exploring. Shifting back and forth through the histories of the things we love. Tracing threads back through influences and scenes, movements and innovations until a stumbling blind history is laid out before us. Symbolising nothing…
In antique times, Greeks didn’t describe dreams as something that happened in their heads while they slept, but as something that descended from heaven, you saw your dream approach like a window opening into the world of the Gods, and once the message was delivered, this window went away, it vanished into the distance. The…
Good friend of the 20JFG’s Ashley Marlowe truly is a man of diverse and excellent taste- He does kill it drumming for some of Brighton’s premier lo-fidelity scuzz combos. He introduced me to Harry Pussy, and is always throwing the sickest shit wave music my way whenever I show up at Edgeworld records, where he…
Sometimes November last forever. 20jfg November drone mix Other times it ends too soon.
Emanating from glowing cracks that mysteriously formed in the walls of our bedroom, comes a distant sound transmitted from a place we never see, but that we occassionally glimpse with our mind’s eyes when we find ourselves looking deep into the dark spaces between one anothers bodies, where ghosts have been known to find their…
When the stars are aligned, and upon contact with the golden needle lying hidden in the box of velvet crimson at the back of the old bureau you will open with an esoteric variation of the Fibonacci sequence, the surface of this record shall transform into the no-matter that black holes are made of, spill…
Anthemic cosmic synth French androids Space are getting re-released and redone in a 12’’ released by Nang. The choice of the bunch is, in our honest opinion, the remix delivered by master of mist and fuzz Time and Space Machine, who transforms the original into one of the nicest homages that Cerrone ever received, full…
