A-SIDE

An ascending melody ripped from the unseen Rekall infomercial on transdimensional holidays to worlds made entirely of laser edged vectors.

A synth line like a long smooth shard of neon-flecked cyberpunk unease ripped straight from your favourite Reagan-era escapist dystopia.

The filtered hand-clap electro drumbeat that was to be so abused during its teenage years in the eighties it could do nothing but toughen up and emerge lean and vicious as techno.

All these things, like teardrops in the rain.

Pagan Future – Ancient Ritual

Pagan Future is Stephen Breaux from New Orleans and he, if you chose to believe, had a hand in the Jonas Brothers and Katy Perry’s glittering careers.  The notion of strange things happening around the bayou remains then, undiminished.  WT Records are putting out his 12″ and you can buy it here.

B-SIDE

A 20JFVid for your weekend delectation from Future Island’s show at New Hero in Brighton a few weeks back.  Fist pumping sincerity from Baltimore.  Good times.

If you’re in and around London this weekend 20JFG will once again be playing to bemused Shoreditch tourists at the Old Blue Last on Saturday 9pm-1:30am.  To the guy from Soweto who went crazy when we played some Shangaan Elctro last time: we love you, come again!
