8-Oh's in the200-Oh's

Cheesy? Possibly - but still, 80s Synth recreated with the wanders of modern techno-knowled-G-unit can give you a feel good warm feeling like no other. What do I speak of? This:




Now tell me that wasn't good? If you just told me that wasn't good I disagree. It was good. Actually it was Exercise 4, a semi-bonus track on Bent's album Ariels which you really should buy here. Bent blow my mind like a dyson air multiplier blows out a candle: effeciently, with minimum noise and maximum techno-joy.

Next - Some flashbulb (aka Benn Jordan), I posted one of his acoustic tracks recently, well such is his talent he also owns at electronica, like with this track Nightmares from his album sleep




By the way, you can listen to a LOT of flashbulb tracks, and buy the albums directly from him for a not unreasonable amount of money at his bandcamp page

Anyway's, in an album I feel is too often under rated and blasted for being "pop", a great track that reuses a 80s synth to the maximum is Mylo's In my arms from destroy rock and roll. If you want to here almost perfect sampling and production this is defiantly one of the top albums of all time. buy the album anywhere



By the way - we're putting on a noiseban at the victory in Hoxton on the first Friday of December.

Hit attending on Facebook for guest list entry.

Electro oh oh oh

Been a while since we've had some Electro posted- so I thought I'd blaow some great tunes out on the circuit right about now:

First up some glitchy electro filth with I like my voice by Sirusmo which you can buy here



Next up in the progressive end of the spectrum I really like Life Pulse by DJ Style




Whenever I hear Apparat I want to move to Berlin. Also worth mentioning, the German lable BPitch Control - who he is signed to also have LOADs of really interesting music. Try AAREA NEGROT. Anyway, this next track is Cheap Thrills by Apparat which you can buy here



Actually, while we're on the topic of awesome german musicians called Apparat - I love this collaborative effort he did with Ellen Allien: This is quite a good video by Marco Testoni



Ellen Allien has produced some fantastico mix tapes over at percussionlab (which I don't mind saying is where I find a LOT of fresh artists these days)

The Kraken wakes


So it's been a while since the last Noise Ban night. After munching on a bunch of crap from some venues earlier in the year the Noise Ban guys have been off doing various un-Noise Ban things like trying to get a book published, DJing at other peoples nights, attempting to produce music and playing Nintendo Wii.

The time has come for the guys to reunite and put on another night for the good of all man kind. We haven't confirmed the date so I can't say much at the moment, but there will be another smooth, sweaty, sensual and shocking night of noises being banned very soon.

Expect to hear all types of electronic and um, non-electronic music at the next NB, we'll be playing disco, reggae, house, electro, hip-hop, trip-hop, house-hip and flip-flop.

I've been listening to a lot of disco lately, so when you see me behind the decks expect to hear stuff like this:
Space Ranger - Plastic Romance (Motor City Drum Ensemble Vocal Mix) by The Ransom Note

see you soon,
Ceefax B.
