Hard and slow, fast and soft: these are the coordinates within which we're operating upon our plane of dance today, folx. It's Surrender's 21st and though he's already hit it hard, and I don't have any money to buy him one of those massages he likes so darn much, let's give it to him aurally and take him higher (higher!).
Let's start ruff:
Being a casual breakcore listener (cuz I'm a pretty casual chum), discovering that Hecate (nooo, not that Hecate) recorded an album solely out of samples of her having sex with Venetian Snares during a 2-week tour caused my ears to flitter a tad. She released the fruits of their labor on 2003's Nymphomatriach, from which this stand-out track "Pervs" is taken from.
Yep, that's about it.
They're boning and I wanted to listen to it and you probably will too.

Now for a real treat: The indefatigable techno writer Philip Sherburne (who has a nice, if not over-sentimental and doting, cover story on Matthew Dear in this month's XLR8R) did a heavy write-up of the new Patrick Pulsinger collection a couple weeks back and I've been banging that shit ever since. This is some hard, thoughtful electronic boogaloo--a collection of three EPs culled from 12 years of production. The whole thing will shake your ass off of your body, but the last third of the mother (and the most current) is where the serious rumblepack action comes into play. Thus, we have for you "Roule", a no-nonsense hybrid future craft that rests upon equal parts rigid high-end arpeggiations ("TYOC Painkillers" comes to mind) and an undulating dub-step/housey bass engine that will fuel your next revolution.

Alright, now off to the space hotel. Well, this space hotel seems stuck in Northern Europe as I can't help but put up some of the recent delicacies by everybody's favorite nordic sweethearts. I know we and everyone else already put up a-side to "Let's Practice", but spinning that shit last night, I realized the dub is where it's at, with the pitch moved up like 6%. Oh yeah, that shit's rich. And I've been meaning to get the Bebel Gilberto remix disc ever since I heard the Prins Thomas mix (sooo blissful), and now I have this dub version and I just can't choose! It's tough to blog (or is it lame? I can never remember...)

Also, this new L.S.B. single is something of a beacon call to a new genre I hereby christen "Hughes House." Serious space disco with dem crunchy electric guitars that Molly Ringwald would just love to make out to. Surrender will be making his contribution soon enuff...

the dub really is much hotter.
FOG is so hot!
Oh wow! I didn't know that this stuff existed, ... I heard it on the Afterhours Ibiza CD 1 and it is really impressive! That loop of "You gave me love" was right on track!
now start stalking Patrick in Berlin :-)

well selected choice on your list!
sincerely, Ed Unlike
To be a adroit benign being is to procure a philanthropic of openness to the far-out, an skill to trust aleatory things beyond your own control, that can take you to be shattered in very exceptionally circumstances on which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably important with the get of the principled compulsion: that it is based on a trust in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a jewel, something kind of feeble, but whose mere item attractiveness is inseparable from that fragility.
I saw so much worthwhile material here!
Thanks for the article, very helpful information.
