This week we trip through psychedelic oscillators and jazz-punk, the songwriting and production genius of Brian Wilson, The Rapture’s sleigh bells Phil Spector moment, Juke-joint R&B, Moroder-esque arpeggio and the timeless brilliance of one of Trick’s favourite bands: Slayer. 72 shows down and only now do we get Slayer. Shocking!
[..]Its a belter of a show this week as we tour old-style human beatbox tracks, celebrate Brandy’s finest cut, deliver wub-wub bass classics from yesteryear and discuss just what imagery comes to mind when listening to Scrimshire. As if that isn’t enough we also discuss those glorious lost nuggets of music and movies from the pre-web years and pay tribute to Heavy D. This one’s a keeper, trust us.
[..]This week we kickstart with some ’99 DnB courtesy of Ram Trilogy, then tour acoustic sounds courtesy of Violent Femmes, Infesticons and Hopi-influenced jazz, taking in some dark technoid breakbeats courtesy of Porter Ricks VS Techno Animal, 60′s Cali-Valley vibes from Jack Nitzsche and the straight-up beauty of Sufjan Stevens. Go get some.
[..]Its a stellar selection this week (if we say so ourselves) as we drop old-style beats of the J Saul Kane variety in the shape of Red Ninja, get rootsy with The Band covering Marvin Gaye, check Beck channelling Prince’s slowjams, deliver sun-splashed dancehall with Spice & Pinchers and… just a whole load more. Go get some – this one’s a keeper.
