Here’s footage of Chicago-via-Brooklyn producer Brenmar, cutting some fresh material with Tek-heads DJ Rashad, DJ Manny, Trax Man and Aziza Man (AKA J-Cush). Can’t wait to hear what comes out of this session!
Brenmar in the Lab
January 16th, 2012Chandeliers on Giant System
January 13th, 2012Chandeliers is a hardware driven electronic band based out of Chicago. The group’s dark grooves and creeping synth lines have a Gary Numan feel but they come across sounding anything but retro. This session was recorded by Giant System, which is a project that was launched to document groups playing their own tunes in their own spaces. Chandeliers is part of a burgeoning, electronic scene in Chicago, along with LAZERCRYSTAL, Mahjongg, Mr. 666 and Gatekeeper, and part of a bigger trend towards more hardware based electronic music.
Popcaan Video Interview
January 12th, 2012Mad A Road have put together this 15-minute post-Sting video featuring a lil interview with Mixpak artist Popcaan, alongside some great footage of the event and a chat with Merciless (who sadly didn’t quite live up to his name on the day). Lock on around 7 minutes in for the Poppy interview.
JME – 96 Fuckries
January 5th, 2012Over the Christmas break i settled down to Channel AKA (formerly Channel U), the legendary music TV channel that gave many of the UK’s current stars their first TV appearance. Now, like many underground things, it’s a little more commercial and more glitzy than before, however I did catch this gem by JME. ’96 Fuckries’ sees him spit, well, 96 bars of pure grimy bliss. Filmed with a steadicam over various locations in England. It’s out on Jan 15th.
“I had a Durag straight at birth,
God sent me here to make shit worse,
Nobody wants a punch in the face
Coz when you get punched in the face it hurts”
