I revived an old music blog from the early 2000s?

Maybe it’s been a foolish endeavor, and maybe I’m the only one who misses the blog ol’ days, but I’ve been giving it a shot. I’ve been working on restoring some of the old content, though much of it was lost. I’ve slowly been rebuilding the old remix sunday archives, and even posting the occasional new edition. And I’ve been writing again.

You can find all the label’s releases here, on bandcamp, or most anywhere you listen to music these days. I’ve still got copies of some of the old vinyl releases, and I recently released the first in a set of charitable cassette compilations to raise awareness about the continued [mis]use of broken windows policing methods.

Plus, I put together a playlists section with a handful of spotify lists that hopefully start to capture a [slightly] updated version of the moods we used to peddle. Give those a listen and a ❤ if you would be so kind. If you want to get in touch, just give me a holler. Oh, and if you prefer to just start playing all the music on this page before reading any further, go ahead and click ▶︎

  • Truancy Compilation One

    Truants have been around for about a year now. To celebrate, they’ve redesigned their blog and released a compilation with fourteen free tracks. Quality stuff from Brenmar, Teeth, the NGUZUs, and LOL Boys & Teki Latex, among others. Listen below or take a jump over to Truants to download. Make a donation if you downloaded it and enjoyed it; all proceeds will be forwarded to the Libya & Region Appeal.

    Various Artists – Truancy Compilation One (sc)

    From the future: the only place this seems to have survived is on soundcloud. The Truants took down the zip file some time ago. I have a couple of the mp3s, but If anyone has the full collection, let me know — I’m happy to host it.

  • Burial – NYC

    Burial – “NYC”

    I don’t hear my city in there all that much, but I like it nonetheless.

  • Nicolas Jaar – Space is Only Noise

    Nicolas Jaar’s new album Space is Only Noise is downtempo gold. The whole thing sounds like one long DJ set played underwater by a group of warm, glowing Chilean angels. More innovative and experimental than blogosphere heartthrob James Blake but just as catchy and musically impressive.

  • 1984 – La Mecca

    1984 has been working hard. The cowbells and horn stabs on these tracks could easily turn most any club into an Italian riot. The EP contains two original tracks from the Italian producer and accompanying remixes from Arcs, Nt89, Meati & Meech, and Misery Peat. Recently released by our friends at Discobelle.

    1984 – Arabesque (Nt89 Remix) (sc)

  • Koyote – Midsummer Tales

    Loaded with the sounds of nature, wound together by patient pads, amidst a flurry of roland drums – Koyote‘s new EP on Mixpak is its own thing. A wild mix of vibes with influences from Deep Purple to Kenny Larkin. Composed in Provence, and perfect for the summer. Listen below.

    Also, Koyote has offered up a demo tune not included on the record as a free download –“Dragonfly Frenzy”– so get that too.

  • Datassette

    Datassette – “Vacuform”

    Datassette and Datashat are the aliases of London-based computer programmer and producer John Davies. His signature retro-digital sound has the crunch of vintage synthesizers while maintaining somewhat of a sharp edge. The sonic landscapes he creates are reminiscent of a video game, which isn’t surprising seeing as how he has made one of those too. The Datassette website has a pretty extensive free downloads section, so go check it out.

    Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five – “The Message” (Datashat Remix) (mp3) (originally posted as part of Remix Sunday 61)

    Datassette – “Start It Again” (mp3)

    Datassette – “Making Plans For Nigel” (mp3)

    Röyksopp – “Happy Up Here” (Datassette Remix) (mp3)

    From the future: Davies seems to have removed the free downloads section of his site, so I’m uploading these bits here instead. There is a bunch of pay-what-you-wish stuff on his bandcamp though, so check that out too.

  • Baobinga & Hyetal – Trouble

    Proper syncopation from Baobinga & Hyetal. This is on Bao’s own Build Recordings.

  • Remix Sunday 156

    From the future: this turned out to be the last Remix Sunday, but I didn’t intend for that at the time. It must’ve felt like it went out with a whisper. But even though it’s been ten years since I posted this, I’ve decided to start doing these again. I can’t promise how often, or when exactly I’ll start. And sure, the world has changed a lot since then, but I hope it might make a few of you out there smile. <3

  • Giana Factory – Dirty Snow (Trentemøller Remix)

    One of my favorite Danish bands – Giana Factory – are coming out with their first full-length, Save The Youth.

    In preparation for the release of the album this fall, the band will be releasing a series of 7″s, each featuring one song from the album and a remake by former tourmates like Glasvegas, Whomadewho, Autolux, and first up: Trentemøller.

  • I WANT 2 B FREE

    If you search the archive on this site, you might find a few posts by Red Foxx. But they’d probably just be about preteen Japanese video game culture, or how he invented rainbows, or getting punched. Follow him on twits @LILINTERNET or at lilinter.net.

    REDFOXX – “I WANT 2 B FREE” (mp3)

    From the future: this song pretty much disappeared from the internet after Azaelia Banks used it as an instrumental for a song. Julian has since gone on to do too much to list, but definitely invest some time into New Models.
