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 ▶︎

    Sawyer G. – "See/Saw" (Official Music Video)

    Sawyer G. – See/Saw

    Stunning submission from Sawyer G. (Sawyer Gebauer), best known for his brilliant Catch Prichard project. Where the latter project has seen Gebauer primarily exploring the psychedelic sides of folk and country music, this current record succeeds in marrying similarly ambient sound-beds with caroming jazz and breakbeat. Gebauer feels virtuosic here; stitching together ricochets of collage drums with meandering sax and found sound. I hope he keeps down this path, I’ll be excited to hear what else he can mine from it. No bandcamp for this, but Gebauer was kind enough to let me offer the mp3 to you all here. (It’s also available for streaming all over.)

    Sawyer G. – “See/Saw” (mp3)

    Angélica Garcia – BUTTERFLY

    New music from LA’s Angélica Garcia, produced via collaboration with indubitable talents Dave Sitek and Ciel. “BUTTERFLY” tells the story of Garcia’s time in NYC working at House of Yes, and the inspiration she found in the confident and resilient staff and club kids. Garcia imagines the butterfly as a symbol of self actualization amidst a club culture characterized by intrinsic violence, and simultaneously as a metaphor for the daily subjugation experienced by Latinos and immigrants in the US. In resolving these countervailing concepts, the song elegantly straddles beauty and grit — balancing determined propulsion in the verse against a sense of ascendance in the hook. Grab it on bandcamp or stream it wherever you do that.

    Tiny Little Ghost – Still Under

    Lovely work from Italian producer Tiny Little Ghost (real name Vanni Casagrande). “Still Under” is described by the artist as intended to capture the feeling of slipping into a lake at night. It’s an unpretentiously inky and aquatic piece. The third movement really tugs downward into colder water–where one’s body is forced to quickly adapt, pushing blood through the vascular system, ultimately warming one’s extremities. The song is from the Tiny Little Ghost’s upcoming album, Nocturnal, a concept album tracing the sunset to the dawn. No bandcamp for this one, but Casagrande was generous enough to let me share with you the mp3 here; the song is also available at all the usual streaming outlets.

  • Mailbox: Mute City – Entroponetics Vol. 1

    In the late aughts, when I was living in Copenhagen, I became friendly with many of the artists there propelling the growth of a vibrant dub-techno-meets-downtempo scene. As has often been the case with musical subcultures in CPH, these guys were doing fine, eating and doing expert work creating a scene that almost nobody outside Denmark was really clocking at the time. Now that geography and era mean so much less for art and its inspiration, it should come as no surprise that an artist like Mute City–based in Somerville, MA–would feel freedom to make music like this, despite being in a place where he’s likely disconnected from any robust local scene particularly expressive of this exact style. “Never the Same River” is delicate, dubby, and songwriting-forward in a way that would have made it perfectly at home amongst that school of Danish masters 20 years ago. It feels sort of like condensation on a single pane window on a day like today: facing out into an icy winter, with the warmth and light of hygge behind it.

    This is from Mute City’s newest record, Entroponetics, Vol. 1, a collection of [mostly] previously-released compositions and remixes. It really runs the gamut stylistically, so don’t expect only dubby Nordic vibes. Case in point, Mute City also sent over another song from the record, which sits in distinctly different territory. His remix of SLC artist Below the Smoke is glitch-heavy and distorted–indicative of the album’s (and artist’s) range.You can download both songs below, then go grab the record from bandcamp. FYI, bandcamp only on this one.
