An xxjfg archive for posts featuring Podcast.
Edmund Xavier has over the years regaled us, through the many projects he is involved with (Horrid Red, FWY, Teenage Panzerkorps) with riddim snapshots of some of the best things in life (taken from special angles): Conan’s weaning from the wheel, Desert vistas of Harry Dean Stanton-esque cragginess, Partisan revenge, Roadside Warrior porn. The sort…
“I’ve finally (finally) compiled a mix tape for 20JFG. And it is a mixtape in the most literal sense of the word. From my Technics 1200 to my Nakamichi deck to Audacity (for the digital transfer, of course) to you. So, no crossfades or beat matching, but plenty of strange cassette malfunction. It’s called Static Gravity…
Welcome Ashley Marlowe aka Donga aka curator of the very excellent Well Rounded / Individuals family with a 100% vinyl shagged needles and ailing mixer very friendly mixtape which is “kinda house but with a more psychedelic edge”. Top class, as ever. Donga Very Friendly Mix Tracklist: FLOETRY – ‘Say Yes (Remix)’ (white) LINKWOOD –…

Where to now used to be a radio show and a night where they played great records. It’s now expanded to become one of our favorite record labels, and we are lucky enough to have todays mixtape made for you, by them. Where to now? – Jan 2012 xxjfg mixtape Tracklist : creature lab :…
Oxidised gears have started turning at the industrially revolutionary 20jazzfunkgreats manor. Our haphazard mixtape series welcomes 2012 with ‘a bunch of weird stuff no one listens to’, as our curator today, the excellent Speculator, master of WT Records, puts it. Any seeker out there knows that when uttered by the right person, the stream of words…
A mix specially compiled to mark the first appearance of Ye Ye Fever on 20jazzfunkgreats. We rarely stray into Disco territory at Ye Ye so this was a nice chance to air some fresh tracks. Ye Ye Fever – December Disco Selection Tracklist Shina Williams and his African Percussion – Agboju Logun (Don’t Rely on…
“The Matrix has its roots in primitive arcade games. In early graphics programs and military experimentation with cranial jacks” pontificates the Sony. You Sneer. You log into the a nightlife simulator. It kicks like a mule, it induces spasms like a wizz-pumped telepath. We are leaving you a tracklist because it’s not us. It’s Goitia…
Jimmy Savile sat on the train to Leeds, his head in his hands. The night before he had been playing records at the Roxy in Bradford. It had possibly been the most life changing experience in his life. After a particularly heady does of acid while playing a rather long version of some Engelbert Humperdinck song…
Questions? If the devil has all the best tunes, why is gospel so great? Can music really be good or evil? Is it different for different listeners? Do such absolutes exist at all? This compilation tape – Azreal – attempts to answer none of the questions above. 20jazzfunkgreats mixtape – Azreal Tracklist? As normal, we…
Hi, and welcome to another old dark matter whistle test. ‘Whispering’ 20jfg here with a selection of music and cultural reference that only a rather small percentage of our readers will actually read, listen to, or understand. mock rock :) 20jazzfunkgreats mixtape – The old dark matter whistle test Just for fun, there is no…
We don’t allow faster than light neutrinos in here said the bartender. 20jazzfunkgreats mixtape – Slower than light A neutrino walks into a bar.
This mixtape was produced while reading Arkady & Boris Strugatsky’s ‘Roadside Picnic’ (famously adopted by Tarkovsky as Stalker), and it may have been influenced by it. although not consciously. We’ll let you to it to sort our the tracklist once again. Whoever names the most gets a nameless price. Tips: it begins with Rene Hell…
Another xxjfg blatant no mixing skills garageband compilation tape, it’s been a while. 20jazzfunkgreats – All watched over by machines of loving grace jones There is no tracklisting available, but you readers can crowdsource it in the comments box yeh?
20jazzfunkgreats and Gatto Fritto go waaaaay back, as in 2008, when we first featured him via the triumphant psychedelic explosion that was Bursting the Bubble, one unimpeachable hit that always accompanies your trusty jazzfunk banditos in their disco excursions (it’s utterly unreal that there are still copies going at Juno, seriously, sort it out least…
(Image by Viktor Pivovarov detected at 50 Watts) The mixtape awaiting for you at the end of this merciful handful of lines was arranged by our beloved Mueran Humanos, it unsettles like a collage of the eeriest mysteries and aberrations off Arthur C. Clarke’s Mysterious World stitched upon the morphing walls of the corridor through…
The soundtrack to an infomercial pushing time shares on distant worlds and the narcotics needed to get you there. Hatchback string together a mix for the existential delights that await Deckard and Rachael once the lift doors close. A dance through a gouraud shaded vision of the future dreamt up in a prog haze by…
Once upon a time, in the days before the ’chill wave’, there lived a genre know as ‘Ambient’. ‘Ambient’ lived happily in the mind of Brian Eno, until one day he got sick and it floated out of him on a cloud of Vick’s Vaporub (TM). The genre of ‘Ambient’ became very popular since then, enjoying…
The first 20JFG Podcast of the year is a real smasher. Kruton is the DJ alias of our pal Milo, AKA Binary Chaffinch from the Dissident posse AKA Milo from the Chrome Hoof posse. Heavenz Gate, his most recent release on I’m a Cliche is a remarkable voyage through pretty much every style of dance music known…
Mi Ami‘s deliriously lo-fi mix for us got lost briefly in the flooded series of tubes that connect 20JFG to the outside world. Thankfully its battered form has been secured from the depths of Sendspace. This is like being stuck in the middle of sensory depravation bubble in the trobbing heart of Detroit Techno circa…
(This went up last week, but our infrastructure was malfunctioned so some couldn’t enjoy it. Here it comes again in all its analogue glory) Following on from last week’s controversial epic, The Speculator astounds us with another mix. This time vinyl prowess reigns supreme as he takes us through his infinitely scopic record collection, pausing at joyous…
Will Burnett has blown away the wetware from our titanium endoskeletons twice this week already. The forthcoming releases on his own WT Records by Pagan Futures and Model Man, and his works as Grackle, Galaxy Toobin’ and The Speculator, indulge in the kind of syncopated synth endeavours that turns lowly 20JFG scribes into armour-clad battle automaton, uniting…
Now don’t say we never give you nothing. Here follows the entirety of side A from Secret Circuit‘s Cosmic Capers DJ psych mix tape, recently coming out on the Teenage Teardrops label. If you like to hear Balldelian passages of cosmodelia recited through the drums of Venusian savannas, then seemlessly beatmatched into compressed astral dropouts broadcast from the…
As mentioned, Italian label Mannequin have utterly jacked the 20jazzfunkgreats space with an onslaught of different flavours of darkness, from 4AD style ruminations to romantic machine music, vacuum valve introspection, twisted cabaret shenanigans and beyond. Alessandro, who runs Mannequin, put together this absolutely cracking mixtape for us, including choice cuts from their repertoire (basically tune…
Here lies the second part of our series of podcasts made by people called Joe who live in Berlin. Joey Hansom is one of many Capablanca collaborators and part of the workings a behind the Discos Capablanca label. He is also doing the most excellent Expatriarch Webseite and is most definitely a dude that you want to…
Tis that time again. Here follows the mixtape by JR Seaton we promised you a couple of days ago. His excellent new 12′ on Relish is a valiant expedition into unexplored boscages of house music led by a crack team of Kosmiche-nics armed with Jazz machetes and postpunk compasses. The full course across musical history…
Once in a blood moon the 20jazzfunkgreats dudes themselves deploy their primitive mixology technologies to spawn some disfunctional beast such as the one that stares at you, cross-eyed yet hopefully beautiful in its necromantically assembled parts, from below. The theme is always love, splattered and dying over the window screen of some Nova-class cruiser destination…
It’s summer and with the heat comes the irresistible clench of kinetic forces, a whirlwind tug of hair and sweat and clinging clothes, eyes staring for hours into hypnotic spirals of oscillating fans that make you yearn for linear motion, a pulse, a push, a pull. Before you know it you are speeding down zig…
We couldn’t but petition the wonderful people at LA Station Radar for a mixtape after a week listening to their last CD compilation on repeat. They kindly sent it our way a few days ago, and it is as great as we expected. Devastated wastelands populated by wolves that carry in their battlescarred fur the…
Not only do Beautiful Swimmers produce the coolest chiselled borg funk in the land, but also some rather astonishing mixes such as the one we are leaving with you today. Strut down the marina as the sun sets, to your left rise bleached castles whose windows project a binary message of peace and allure, to…
Sez Tommy Boy (this truly is epic). Now can someone do us similar things re: Chicago, San Francisco, Dalston/Hackney, Berlin? Local Scenes FTW “I am fortunate to live in a place where so many of my peers are creating the kind of music I love. When most kids are worrying about how the grass is…
Our good friend Donga, owner of Well Rounded Records and man behind countless musical delights, has been kind enough to send us over an hour of frankly incredible music for 20JFG’s (semi)regular Saturday podcast series. All mixed live. All mixed from vinyl (that’s him up there). Donga’s SCOM mix 1. Menahan Street Band – ‘Make…
Hello fine sirs and sirettes. Normally the weekend pages of this readily expanding tome are intentionally left blank, so that you may ponder the many errors of our ways. Whilst you are doing this, we covertly fill our knapsacks and check our mantraps for sustenance that we might gorge upon at the bloody feast that…
And as promised, here you have the mixtape that Teeth of the Sea have put together for us in order to celebrate the launch of Hypnoticon Viva, their new 12”. I am listening to the record (which you can, for example, fetch here), 2 minutes into the title track and a simmering halo of progressive…
20jfg adventures of little cthulhu mixtape
Sometimes November last forever. 20jfg November drone mix Other times it ends too soon.
And just so you can begin your week in a most psyched way, here you have an astonishing collection put together for us by that dark master of the synthetic drone, Gavin Russom. Watch him stepping for a moment from the dark belly of the machine to present us with a lovely collection of spiritual…
Our heart kin, Salem, have been good enough to stitch together for us a disarming patchwork of haunted juke hall malevolence, cave crunk atmospherics, brain breaking tekno noise, and crackling transmissions from a childhood spent floating down beautiful starlit rivers in the constant glare of hidden monsters. Thank you smoke. Tracklisting::: 1-PEARL – Pearl’s Dream 2-NEOPHYTE…

We picked this up on the side of a highway we were wandering aimlessly after getting off a wooden cross where some mutant hicks had decided to nail us for a laugh, as it were. We recommend you play it while driving around the neighbourhood busting mailboxes with a baseball bat bristling with rusty nails…
