Wildblood Wonders June 09
Mmmm music for June. Let me see. Needs sunshine, love and plenty of smiling basslines. Needs to bring warmth and happiness and the kind of glow Ready Brek gives you in winter. Well let me delve into this month’s wonders and bring a little heat to your summer.
If you missed it check out Nathan Haines ‘Right Now’ on Freestyle Records. It’s jazz without the pretensions, all nu and new york and disco twisted. It simply rocks – intelligent like. As does the rather special new album from Silicone Soul on Soma records. Handily titled ‘Silicone Soul’ it’s everything you would expect from these glorious Glaswegians. Moody yet magnificent. Subtle yet straight shooting. It’s real hypnotic wonder you’ll love.
As is the superb latest addition to Renaissance’s ‘Masters Series’. Hernan cattaneo is in the driving seat and he put foot to peddle with passion on this double cd mix adding heart and soul to it’s delicious techi-ness.. Also worth a bite this June is One Eskimo and their beauty of a longplayer All Balloons on Little Polar Records. Never has some much electronica been so craftily twisted. It’s a peaceful moment in a world of beeps and bangs and one I would highly recommend replacing the rescue remedy with. Others ticking my box this month includes the manifesto like make up of Tom middleton’s ‘One More Tne’ on Renassiance and the oh boy goodness of Yousef’s A Collections Of Scars & situations’ on Circus. Big top brilliance.
Finally my June favs. First a release already out there. Tune into ‘A Bugged Out Mix’ by Hot Chip on New State Music. Its lunacy is captivating and it will put a grin on your face the length of Brighton pier. Techno, house, hip-hop, eighties and Luther Vandross. Only Hot Chip could get away with it. Finally the album that has me grinning all the way to the spaced out disco. Faze Action’s 'Stratus Energy' is just wonderful. All cowbells, wah-wah guitars, bouncy bass and disco strings. Mmm, mmm, mmmmmm! I’m loving the reconnection with all things disco at the moment and Faze Action do it with grace. Be it the feel good bounce of ‘Good Lovin’, the kitsch fabulousness of ‘Starship’ or the take me now swish of ‘Hypnotic’, this is an album I recommend so highly I’d buy you all a copy if I could. There I said it, I’ve come out. Wildblood is kitsch disco all the way and I don’t care who knows it. Enjoy.
1. Physics ‘Viva L'Amour’ Deeplay Music
This makes me happy. End of.
2. Izzy Stardust ft Dave McPharrell ‘After The Love’ (Greg Stainer Piano Mix) Seamless Recordings
Reaffirming that piano house will never die.
3. U2 ‘Magnificent’ (Adam K & Soha / Pete Tong Wonderland Remixes) Island
One to hypnotise the house heads. Simply beautiful.
4. Dionne Mitchell ‘Release Me’ (Deep Velvet Original Mix)
When Neil Duffie says it’s his tune of the year you need to pay attention. Massive.
5. Sandy Rivera ‘Deeper’ (Freak Mix) Blackwiz
Freaking deep! A welcome return of a certain refrain we can’t get out of our freaky heads.
6. City Reverb ‘Time Side On’ (Mighty Mouse Remix) Dumb Angel
One to get you in the festival mood. Cider in the sunshine anyone?
7. Delorean Suite ‘Deep Love’ (Mystery & Matt Early Remix) Coffee ‘n’ Creme
Quality soulful house that will enhance your tan with its sunshine groove.
8. Haji & Emanuel feat Roachford ‘In The Moment’ (DBN Remix) Big Love
Haji lifts us up high with this big room belter.
9. TomBelton ‘Irresistible’ (StoneBridge Vox Mix) Born To Dance
Sweden meets Brighton to deliver a sweet slice of funky house
10. Amp Live ‘Gary Is A Robot’ feat. Micro Jaxson and Trackademicks Om Records
