  Over Ice, After Dark

  Just over a year ago, your fiendish 20JFG writers got all excited about a track called ‘Love Reaction’ by Lovelock that was passed to us on a blood-flecked CD by a backwards-talking multi-tentacled demon from a frozen purple dimension. It was a tale of neon infused trysts between shear cheek-boned society girls with too much [...]

  Studio 2O54

  Codek are fast becoming a label with liquid gold running through its cyborg veins, a label so awesome that its disco releases transcend sound itself and become feelings and colours.

  Ice Tempos

  In an icy cave in the deepest forests of Canada (forests where the leaves have all long gone, but are instead replaced with dangling icicles that chime to an incessant beat), there lives a creature with bright yellow spherical eyes and pale blue skin, wrapped up all snug in a pea-green parka jacket. He sips [...]

  Disco dot disco

  Because we know where our hearts are. 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. Actually this came out on December last year and I cannot fucking believe it isn’t sold out. Come on [...]

  The Synth That Dripped Blood

  After being criminally dropped from DC Recordings for being “too commercial” (wtf? surely about 2/3′s of the current DC roster is not what you would term as commercial?), Italian masked killer of scantily clad women, The Giallos Flame, is self-releasing an album of chic 70′s horror-homage on his very own label Analogue Screams. Said album [...]

  Didn’t they used to be dinosaurs?

  False Energy never really broke through at the end of last year, maybe a re-release is in order?

  Jesus’ take on the Cosmic Scene

  (Where we continue the space trip, with an spiritual twist) If your astral body were to elevate into the sky and further, past cotton clouds, outside into the last confines of the atmosphere, and float there like Christ in that Dali painting, surrounded by metal teardrops and satellites of love with the blackness of space [...]

  Cloud

  Reissues are about as common nowadays as a purple American Apparel hoodie on a skinny indie kid. The Cloud label are putting out some of the best in 20JFG’s humble opinion, releasing two-track 12″s of hot cosmic disco and balearic love, while the parent company, Supersound, puts out the disco stomps and italian fine tailored [...]

  We love babies

  …Watch them coming out of their bloated coccoons under the cold soil, all furry with sharp claws bristling, what an uplifting yet freakish celebration of life when they jump on top of their first victim, a small telepathic fox from the Tundra Borealis, tear it to pieces, drink its nurturing blood and feast in its [...]

  The past is the future

  1- Phil Dick once wrote a short story called ‘The Trouble with Bubbles’. It is about a future where Humankind finds itself, in the absence of other habitable planets in the Solar system, trapped in Earth. People’s thirst for space exploration and discovery is temporarily quenched by an industry dedicated to the construction of small [...]

  Science Fiction Double Feature

  That crazy sound from the 70′s/80′s, Space Disco (or Cosmic as it is mostly known) is coming on in leaps and bounds with many artists championing vintage synthesizers (or vintage synth plug-ins for Ableton maybe) and setting course for the nearest milkyway. Lo Recordings are releasing ‘Milky Disco’ in September, a collection of comets and [...]

  Robin’s VH1 broadcast from the Forests

  VH1 presents Divas! Live, for one, magical night only from a wishful, imaginary place located somewhere in my brain, and hopefully yours too. On the bill tonight… Amanda Lear. A perfect pop star. An enigma, shrouded by folklore, wrapped up in a mystery, tied up within a myth. She may never have existed at all. [...]

  The Narrative of Lindstrom & Prins Thomas of Norway

  20JFG drops to they’re knees to praise European aristocrats of neo-cosmic discotheque echoes, Prince Lindstrom and Count Prins Thomas, for these bastions of bleeping shimmer-kraut have bestowed upon the world 3 separate spacial adventures in recent weeks.

  Hailz the Nite

  Crossover are truly, madly, deeply within a world of their own. But all the better for it as, judging by the way the real world is going, imaginary realms are totally where its at. They sat awkwardly within the pneumatic techno and acid-house landscapes of International Deejay Gigolos with neon pentagrams etched across their alien [...]
