Ghosts

Innovative. No compromises. Constant. Ghostly International and its sub-labels are all of this since the beginning. To get in touch with the nerdy part of their public their did an iphone app (free) to discover the catalog selecting sounds by differents ways.

They also released few weeks ago the third LP of Matthew Dear and as usual it's great. I love his voice and the treatment. Don't expect "dancefloor made for LP" here... A black diamond. Full of haunted vocals and tricky beats. The album comes in all usual formats and in a limited totem (!?) of 100 pieces.

Monstre!

I remember some years ago : people used to talk about a mysterious guy called Venturi. During some months I believed this guy was just an urban legend but one day I finally met him. He's what we can consider as a versatile guy, producing some beats in his room, collecting weird (or not) records, working a lot and playing in the new super combo in town called Monstre! with other freaky dudes. Enjoy his La derniere seance mixtape.

Disco Cop

Don't know many things on this one : just two 12" on Discogs with different pressings but the sound is sooooo fat... Reminds me the Kon & Amir's sounds ! Probably my best flea market find till now. Enjoy.

Portable Patrol - Cop bop (Disco mix)

Superfriends

Second release from Superfriends. Be quick now or cry later.

Englishmen in N.Y.C

I heard about this collab between Futura and The Clash but never heard it until I found this promo compil in a flea market few days ago... It seems that a video exists where he paints live on stage with the Strummer's gang but can't find it. If you know where it is, please post in comments.

Futura and The Clash - The escapade of Futura 2000

Straight from Spacestation

Luke Slater is seriously back in business. Freaky artwork too. Out now on Ostgut Ton.

Smells good

A lil' explanation of what is coming in september from the Tigersushi family :

"To celebrate our 10 years we decided to launch a series of split 7inches in association with our best musical friends : the More G.D.M. Collabs. Each release of the series will be a limited edition (200 copies) split 7inch with one Tigersushi side and one “guest” side. For the first installment of the More G.D.M. COLLABS series we teamed up with our long-time friends Optimo who released their infamous compilation How to Kill The DJ pt 2 on Kill The DJ / Tigersushi back in 2004! Both tracks here are super hard-to-find minimal synth gems. We call them gems because in our opinion they go way beyond the genre and reach a timeless classic status. We chose Solid Space's Tenth Planet on our Tigersushi side. A track released in 1982 on cassette only by this obscure band from the UK. Optimo chose John Bender, another super obscure cult musician from Cincinnati."

If you follow Tim's Sweeney's Beats In Space and have heard the stunning Ivan Smagghe's mix you'd propably noticed that Kill the Dj (my other fetish label) is going to release a serie of tiny 7" in the next months.

I heard too about Tullio de Piscopo's hit Bajon being remixed by Isoul8 and the mighty house king of Detroit : Theo Parrish ! Probably in september... stay tuned
