The Current Pun

Data seems to have squezed the best and the worst of '80s rock into his tracks. Expect to hear a lot more from him since his catchy track One in a million was used in a car ad.
I'm not sure if like Data, but i do like his name, though it is quite similar to the ace Norwegian duo Datarock.

I'm getting pretty bored of crap DJ names, based on lame puns. As a half arsed DJ myself, thinking of new DJ names is something I do all the time (much more regularly than actually playing live), basing your name on someone else's just seems lazy.

Joy Orbison maybe a talented DJ but his name makes me think of a crappy tribute act, some shit pastiche of someone elses fame. Maybe you disagree, maybe you think Ceefax is a crappy name and I should shut up, let me know below, on facebook or twitter

Some good bands done some albums

I am disturbingly excited by the new of Montreal album Paralytic Stalks released last week . It's simply fantastic...

Next up, an old Exeter favourite Paddy Johnston & the love explosion did this short album songs on a comically small guitar which is lovely. You can download the tracks (for free) and read his blog over on his website.

Lastly, while we're on this theme - thought I'd slip in a mention of the bombay bicycle club - brilliant band I only discovered recently. They feel like a slightly less clean pheonix? anyway this is your eyes:

Zebra fucking Katz!

If you like your music low and unnerving them you will love this odd track by Brooklyn fella Zebra Katz, featuring Reddd Foxx:


This track is just as weird but a little less intimidating, infact it almost reminds me of a friend of mine...



I don't much out about this guy, but I'm pretty out of touch sometimes - I wouldn't be supprised to find out he's had a the Christmas number one and I wasn't paying attention. Anyway here is a mix of some of his tracks if you need more Katz:

Zebra Katz // Champagne // Mixed by DJ Teenwolf by Zebrakatz on Mixcloud

Jump up old school!

Happy New Year kids.

Check out DJ Yoda's updated take on some old timey tunes in this frankly insane track, One O'Clock Jump:

Chill Please - I'm Hung over

First off, Thanks to everyone who came to noiseban.02.12 on Friday, at the Russian Bar. Great night.

Just thought i'd put together some superchilled out music to deal with the old sunday hang over:

first up, Hammock - Can almost see you.

Really nice band, check out all their stuff over at band camp where you can also buy their albums and jazz...

Next up, some good old fashioned Texan post-rock by The Clam Blue Sea with We happy few- check out their website for tour dates (mostly in the US).

Lastly is Paper Birds by the Icelandic band Parachutes who unfortunately split up in 2009. If you've noticed the likeness to sigur ross, its because they shared some band members. Following the break up, all of their albums have been released for free as explained in the Swedish bed music blog.

Get there before 11pm for free entry and a chance to see TheGreenLazer kick things off with a few choice Hip-Hop tracks. Later on, I (Ceefax B) will be playing some Disco & House and maybe a little Electro, followed by John Bailey (Egg the Teens) playing the same sort of stuff. Things will get a bit more hectic when Monsieur Ferro and Full Stop chuck some big Electo sounds in the mix. Good friends of Noiseban, the very busy Fanny Games will hit the decks for a DJ set at around 2am. Before we close up for the night expect to see the usual noiseban free-for-all with everyone playing head-to-head.Friday 2nd December

See you on Friday,

Chill & Trip Hop

First up, Got wind of this relatively unknown artist King Singh from Steve Strong over at White Elephant Clothing. This track, 'wood or wire?' has a sweet video and is probably his best work so far. check it out:

Download the track here,

Next up, Whilst reading the musigh blog I came across an artist we used to play far too much on the Ralph and Joe show back on XpressionFM, I am of course talking about emancipator:

That track was Nevergreen - Which you can download here

Lastly, one of the pioneers of the Genre, DJ Krush: with Day's end. Enjoy!

By the way, the next noiseban is on Friday the 2nd of December, click attending on facebook for guest list.
