Vinyl and Digital Reviews: Mondkopf, Giorgio Gigli and Albert

Digging through the hard-drive and found May release reviews! Check out the delights at a record store near you, good selections here.

Mondkopf - ‘Day Of Anger EP' (In Paradisum)
... onto a winner

Mondkopf is onto a 2011 winner with title track ‘Day of Anger’, lulling you into false security with an piano solo before decay seeps into powerful Modeselektor-esque emotives with stamping beats, and a whiff of Justice on ‘Eastern Revolt’, ebbing out with eerie, dark electro.

Out now

  ClashMusic Dj Mix Podcast - Mondkopf by clashmusic


Giorgio Gigli, Obtane, Milton Bradley - The Dark Thoughts of Fate's Manufacturer (Zooloft)
… Tim Burton techno

Three tracks capture ‘The Dark Thoughts...’ intent of moody and blistering corrosion of techno, peppered with the animal snarl of synths and roars of white noise, setting the dark and moody scene. Dark UK techno has provided a template, and Zooloft is running with it.

Lo-Quality Recommended

Albert - Albert EP (Studio Rockers)
…garage, meet dubstep

Albert leans far from the garage sounds of popular predecessors like Shanks and Bigfoot, enmeshing stabs of dubstep melancholy with 2-step futuristic garage on ‘Darling Now’, and bringing out metallic textures for the industrial clanking of busy dubstep percussives for the intriguing ‘Cant Lie Still’.

Free tunes: New tracks and promo mix from Damn Horns


Two free singles and a promo mix from Damn Horns, courtesy of Life Support Machine.

Damn Horns - Freakout Mix 2011 

Life Support Machine picked up this DJ mix for the 9th edition of their podcast, Beats & Bass Must Have.
"Don’t be fooled by the reggae ting-tings of the intro, this mix quickly gets sweaty. Silly, funky, fidgety house-party grooves and wibbly-wobbly gut-wrenching breakbeat nonsense for over an hour. Madness. And dubstep. A real journey of drug-fuelled attic-antics."

Wanda Jackson - Whirlpool (Damn Horns Remix) - [lifesupportmachine.co.uk] 
"It’s quirky, crowd friendly mix of vintage Rock ‘n’ Roll vocals and funk-fuel beats ‘n’ bass has had mad support on this from the likes of Nick Thayer, Ben & Lex, Peo De Pitte, Pete Jordan and Plaza De Funk. Even been awarded 9/10 in iDJ Magazine on the ‘Warehouse’ page. I’m not quite sure what Warehouse is, but it sounds like a good thing."

Damn Horns Vs Harry J Allstars - Liquid Heater - [lifesupportmachine.co.uk]
"Maybe I might get an angry fist shook at me from a nooligan or two for this. I don’t know. I don’t like football unless a hard bloke asks me, anyway. Eitherways, this classic has been respectfully fattyfied. One for the festivals?! Bung on kettle and give it a whirl. Two sugars."

Climbing and Clubbing for Charity




"Yes, I'm going to be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with 34 other co workers in September 2011 for The Make a Wish Foundation UK (British Gas charity of the year). Just received a story on how Make-A-Wish help a young girl meet up with her Idol Kylie! It's just an example of how your donation is used when you give and help people like Lauren from Glasgow.

Lauren, 16, has Batten’s Disease, a genetic disorder of the nervous system. She is blind and her memory and speech are deteriorating but, despite her condition, Lauren (who owns every Kylie album) has memorized all the lyrics to her favorite songs and doesn’t let her illness prevent her from performing her favorites in front of audiences at home.

In the past, before her condition deteriorated, when she was not recording CDs at the Royal Blind School in Edinburgh or performing in a school show, Lauren could be found on her karaoke machine doing what she loves best – singing Kylie Minogue songs.

Her special day began as she was whisked off by Make-A-Wish in a limousine to Girlz Night, a popular beauty salon in Glasgow, where she was pampered before finally meeting her pop idol at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow and enjoying the live concert afterwards. She was thrilled to actually meet the Australian superstar in person, and it made the concert an unforgettable experience!

This is going to be a lifetime event and doing it for charity makes it even better. I know £2500 is a lot to raise but with your help I hope to make it happen. Many thanks for any donations, it's most appreciated."


And to help kick off the fundraising, check out PEAK at The Store on 15th July (11pm-3am, £5), where all proceeds go to the Make a Wish foundation. Even if you can't muster the strength for charity mountain-climbing, you can at least have a spin on the dancefloor to breaks, electro, hip-hop and more from Lee Jefferies, Ian iB Brandon, Morphamish and Texture.

Contribute?

OK, this blog is my baby. I've been nursing it on my own, but I have to admit that there are a substantial amount of promos to get through and review. More than my fingers can manage between freelance projects. The main aim of this blog is to promote dance music, and if you fancy yourself of a similar mindset, can write well, and have an open mind to the world's sonic beats, drop me a line about entering the Lo-Quality world.

It would help if you could send a 50 word review of your latest purchase, or even something up on Soundcloud, etc. TIP: I admit now that I'm fairly biased against trance music. Listening to it, as well as reading about it induces immediate narcolepsy.
