DJ Propolis has given us a sneaky look at his mix "Swollen Banks". Its a tour of global summer sounds, taking in hip-hop, dubstep, soul and all kinds of electronic wobbles and beats. Propolis weaved it together sitting on the floor of a Canadian forest with his own smooth trip-hop style, Noiseban present it here as a UK exclusive:
DJ Propolis - Swollen Banks
(I'll put the set list up here, when he sends it to me)
C'est musique pour vous, si vous, comme moi, travaillent actuellement....
Interestingly, yet to be spoilt by mass market success, independently sucsessful, this is the lead song from the 3rd album by the Irish band, The Redneck Manifesto:
I'm sure I've raved about the flashbulb before, but this is a quality track from a quality artist with loads to offer. This is Kirlian Voyager by The Flashbulb:
The Canadian Don Ross with RockBarra, mind blowingly good guitar. I personally like at 2 minutes(ish) when he plays some amazing rolling pitch harmonics:
And lastly, 'Closing' played by The Philip Glass Ensemble and written by Philip Glass, arguably one the best composers of all time:
Flight Facilities are probably best know for their track Crave you (feat, Giselle). They have also beefed up this Holy Ghost! track with some butter bass:
The Aussie disco fools have another track out at the moment too, this one featuring Jess.
A freiend of mine put me on to this lass called Iamamiwhoami, she's from Sweden and is apparently signed to Fever Ray's lable.
Iamamiwhoami is some sort of art project which I haven't been able to find out much about, but I do know my jammy mate is going to see them/her perform at one of their first ever shows this Friday.
