Monday Roast

ola amigo's!

My deliriously brain-fried and extremely scat Sunday recovery sessions have recently consisted of coffee, bananas, action movie's, tar and the occasional hair of the dog brewske.

However.... as the always chaotic long weekend was just upon us - i find myself wedged in a mish-mashed delirium of Mondayitis (manic/monday ~ syndrome) and Scatrrhea (sunday/brain ~ roast).

My saviour this time being an extensive session of 203 new downloads.... and a fucking good omelette! :)

So upon serving you up some main course tracks to 'munch' into - i have centred the appetiser's upon a very promising Ozzie act. Yet again the land down under has produced another excellent indie-electro live act!! Any who know me personally may have heard me raving about this melbournian 4 peice - and making big comparisons to Aussie acts such as The Preset's and Cut Copy. However rash these may be the depth and fine tuned sound they have already got put's them in such a league - Although factors of the changing electro music scene and their overall swagger may not see these 'strangies' stoop to commercial and eventually 'apocolypso
tic' levels. I shall let their tracks do the talking for you and i am crossing my toes that they keep up the production quality and great indie hooks in future songs!!

As always also the main course selections follow below also....

Entre's

Eskimo Boy - Strange Talk

An irresistible hook of 'like a chainsaw' companied with some great multilayered synth pop

Climbing Wall's - Strange Talk

Repeated dish on the drunkfunk menu... if you missed it then chow down

Main's

Breakin' (Lorenz Rhode Remix) - Strip Steve

Jumpy, bass-slapping, pure nu-disco which waters the mouth and pumps the rollercafe

Breathe - What So? Not

Sweat It Out freshface punches out a top dancefloor beat - topped with some rad sampling

Goody Two Shoes (Viceroy Edit) - Duck Sauce

a precise and quality track which you expect from A-trak and Armand Van Helden

Death (Chase & Status Remix) - White Lies

some tantalising mild wobbles and drops, garnished with some raw vocals

As always enjoy your meal.

peace!

The Great Pyramid of Lyon

French electro & pyramid's - unheard of.

Well maybe not Daft Punk, but certainly a fresh face on a very familiar and always impressive French electro scene. Pyramid produces some great synthy and melodic electro then slow's the bpm and add's the deep tech house French libido, to tracks which at times float you through Neil Armstrong's spaceboots and at other moments have you a cruising Moscow street's in some string enhanced brilliance. I am not often blown away by premiere EP's of straight out electro acts these days - who are somewhat replicating movements and similar beats of the so called French Touch movement... however this has done the number on me.

Repetitive and slow progressing synth and drum loops (which ache of a middle ground between Justice, Daft Punk and Cassius) reflect a very refined production quality which many young-guns simply yearn for.

Make up your own mind on this new French phenomenon with original tracks and a doozie remix.

Space Odyssey - Pyramid

Legacy - Pyramid

BONUS

Sun (Pyramid Remix) - Caribou
