seasons change & tunes resume

The above incapsulates this Australian summer!

(it was not summer it was some Ozone raped season of musical and partying bliss)

Crystal Fighter's massive and well-known tune 'In The Summer' has a cool yet very random and cool video that does not do very much for matching with the song title!

The autumn leaves are now falling people! Although with belated summer heat and the ensemble of parties/festivals continue so do the tunes. Below are a couple of tracks from Cut Copy's highly anticipated and eventually leaked (even though its out now and has been for a while) album 'Zonoscope'. It is slightly more somber than 'In Ghost Colours' and touches more into their dark indie rock side rather than the dance. However overall its an awesome melancholic album with some very solid tracks - and most importantly it was not released in sync with (and the effective shadow of) 'Apocalypso'. For more indie-kids i have chucked in a cool cover of Yeasayer's huge track 'O.N.E'!!

Will be back shortly with some bigger beats and huge drops so don't reach for the tissues just yet crankers!

peace!

Would you like bangers with that MASH??

Not too much needs to be said about Gregg Gillis aka Girl Talk/ Mashtastic/ Mr Mash/ King of Mash/ Sampleton Mashington III. His ingenious blending and overlaying of pop, hip hop and retro tracks holds a crowd like none other. With worldwide touring Girl Talk reels in the dough for his highly demanded live show that many of us may have been witness to at last years Big Day Out festival... and thankfully he acknowledges that he is only reproducing and crafting existing tunes into something brilliant - hence why his album is for free download (also he avoids many legal dilemma's through this). Anyway judicial stipulations aside, my poverty stricken, schoolies-saving self is very thankful for this. Ultimately he is a wicked dude with ripping tunes and if you do not like this album then you are a festy douche.

Head over to Illegal Art for the free hookups and to wikipedia for the tracklisting

A Fair Solid Centurion

So 'drunkfunk' has reached 100 and along the way many musical, cultural and social developments have been made - one being that NuDisco is alive, cranking and taking over the music scene like a relentless zombie army (more producers are infected by the curse of the disco ball ha). Minus the 'beyond the grave' analogies such is true about this modern musical development... And for the 100 club I thought it would be best to run with the drunkfunk trend of tune sharing and general uncovering. Propping up the leaning tower of fading Italo-Disco are 'Fare Soldi' - who are the new age Mario and Luigi behind the decks. They succeed in conquering a fast paced and acid infused style of 'porno-bass' heavy Italo-Disco. Fuck-clustering of music genre's aside these dudes are funky as their main aim is to induce "smiling whilst dancing" and props to those who have survived the Italian Fidget/Cranking onslaught of mega-producers like Crookers and The Bloody Beetroots.With their name translating to 'make money', this ambition seems inevitable and i am tipping a trip down under in the next 6 months!!

So at the moment the drunkfunk contributors and many readers are in no position to party because of three ominous letters (H.S.C), however post exam riot's loom and we welcome all to join for messy mayhem and support of the scene. Particularly for two events. Firstly young-gun Louis La Roche is playing Candy's for only 18 slices of bread (2bucks cheaper than an average night at Candy's) on the 5th of November. Secondly a party of a bigger scale (Summer Seasons) is going down at Greenwood on the 13th of November to welcome in summer and the partying that comes with it. As Van She Tech, Dangerous Dan, Wax Motif and Jimmy Disco will be playing i have dropped a fresh tune for this below and if you like it or just want to go a tad wild on the 13th - email me for tickets (nick.saw@hotmail.com)...

peace!

(and hopefully another 100 or two to come)
