‘we are talking Gang Gang Dance here, one of those rare outfits who manage to remain duly out there, like some sort of weird organic satellite floating in the interstice between atmosphere and a black space which is the place, feeding on mestizo transmissions from all over the globe which are then condensed into a primeval halo of muscular percussive energy shot back to make us speak tongues, imagine a booty version of the Sun City Girls and you aren’t there, but then you never will be there, until you press play and the ghost radiations enter your body like technological loas in a Gibson dream of the future that is here and now.’

Well, here you have 4 awesome tunes chosen for your total delight by Lizzi, Josh and Brian. Enjoy, say thanks in the box below and get the record because it’s total bloody sex echo ritual beyond the walls of the inner jungle yonder the invincible spirit dances unbridled.

Don Cherry- Brown Rice

A twisted children’s rhyme set to a strange atmosphere gamelan style track. Witchy and floaty, could give you nightmares but could give you some great dreams too….it depends.

Francis Bebey- Forest Nativity

The REAL version of welcome to the jungle

Phil Collins- I’m not Moving (Edit by Idjut Boys)

We heard this on a mixtape from Brian from Animal Collective. It sounds like Phil Collin’s under water / in outer space / inside a volcano

Growing- Rave Pie Only

Beyond the third dimension. A great visual tune. Close your eyes and watch it move.

And let us put the icing on the winning cake with this mixtape that Max Tundra (with help from our main man G£nuin£ Guy) has prepared to celebrate the launch of his album ‘Parallax Error Beheads You’, out in Domino now. Ok, so the album is the genius pop explosion equivalent of a technicolor holographic trip up and down the corridors of Prince’s Chocolate Factory. If that’s that, and you know it is, then this is a handheld camera recording of that trip sent in a cold fusion reactor powered capsule to explore the outer confines of a warm universe operating under the approving gaze of a benevolent watchmaker, sliding into a post-euclidean loop which is the psychedelic equivalent of a bowling gutter in future P-funk city, spinning past the fourth dimension and into your eager ears so you can flip out like the progressive equivalent of Flipper the dolphin. Now there, 50 tunes in 30 minutes which are full of soul, and a few tasty morsels from the aforementioned album. B for Brilliant, and total love.

Back to normal real soon, word.

Masters of kosmische doof Growing take us, in ‘All the Way’, surfing on the tail of a mystery comet which upon being detected by those massive radars trained upon the starry night, finds itself represented in glimmering waves of cubic sound, if Fuck Buttons blew a hole in the sky with their colossal onslaught, it is Growing that came from inside it, spreading all over our space like a rainbow gradient of alien love. There is a constellation in the shape of a Big Ship above you, and this is the music of its distant and beautiful glimmer.

Growing- Innit

Fucked Up’s new album, ‘The Chemistry of Common Life’ is claustrophobic like being buried alive as a sacrifice to the gods of thunder, and exhilarating like clawing out from that grave into woods bristling with life reincarnated into something akin to a god yourself, there must be some sort of chemical transformation occurring as the body returns from the grounds where it went to rest, and we couldn’t think of a better music to soundtrack it than their collision of spaced out stoner power, higher state metronomic Boredoms style transitions and damaged psyche folk ululations.

Fucked_Up-Royal Swan

This is the equivalent of a phantom deer jumping over the headlights of your car in a lonesome road, crashing through the wind shield and out through the back window like a nocturnal dream of righteous violence.

Now, things:

When in Berlin tonight, go and say hi to our main man G£nuin£ Guy. He rocks the party to standards unknown.

When in London on Friday come to Pacific Hotel, one of the 20JFG will be getting down with the winners, it’s going to be a total ball.
