♥ Architeq

Durante la decada del 90 el hip hop se fusionó con generos denominados "serios" como la musica electronica concreta, el ambient y el jazz.

Algunos denominaron a esa mezcla "abstract hip hop" o "trip hop".
Hubo grandiosos discos de trip hop pero, como suele pasar, el genero se agoto en poco tiempo y se convirtio en el refugio de oportunistas compilados, y jazzmen con poco talento que veian que incorporando un beat de A Tribe Called Quest sobre sus insipidos jams lograban llamar la atención.
Pero todo vuelve, y el excitante primer disco de Architeq me recuerda que aun es posible mezclar de un modo original la crudeza de ritmos callejeros como el hip hop, y el electro con Stockhausen, Vangelis y Neu!.
El disco en cuestion se llama "Green + Gold" y salio por el prestigioso sello Tirk.
Aqui les dejo 2 de sus temas:

Architeq - Sleeping Bear Lament

Architeq - Twilight

During the nineties hip hop started to combine with other, so called "serious", genres such as concrete music, ambient and jazz.

Some named this mix "abstract hip hoop" or "trip hop"
There were some awesome trip hop records but after a short period of time the genre started to repeat itself and became a niche for not-so-great compilations and jazzmen with no talent that figured out that the simple fact of adding an A Tribe Called Quest to a mediocre jam can have press attention and eventually make money.

But all is cyclic, and the exciting debut album from Architeq reminds me that is still possible to mix street genres such as hip hop and electro with Stockhausen, Vangelis or Neu!

The record is called "Green + Gold" and is available on the prestigous Tirk label.

Discofolk

Alla por 1977 la banda de folklore chilena Los Jaivas edito Cancion Del Sur, disco en el que incorporó por primera vez sintetizadores analogicos y experimentó con la musica disco, omnipresente por aquel entonces.
Aqui dejo dos canciones resultantes de esta rara combinación entre folklore sudamericano y el afro disco neoyorkino.

Los Jaivas - Bebida Mágica



Los Jaivas - Sueño Del Inca



Back in 1977, the Chilean folk band Los Jaivas released the Cancion Del Sur album in which they added analog synths for the very first time and experimented with the disco music, omnipresent at that time. Here are 2 tracks resulting of this strange fusion between South American folk and the afro disco sound of New York.

Fatback Band x 2

Siempre me da la sensacion de que los Fatback Band no han tenido el reconocimiento que se merecen.

Aqui va este humilde post dedicado a ellos con 2 verdaderos monstruos funk.

El primero es su clasico "Do the Bus Stop" que dio nombre a un popular paso de baile durante la era disco.

Fatback Band - (Are You Ready) Do the Bus Stop

El segundo tema es un edit de "Midnight Freak" realizado por el maestro Lee Douglas e incluido en el Volumen 3 de la serie de edits del sello Blackdisco.

Blackdisco - Midnite (Lee Douglas Edit)

------------------------------

I always have the feeling that Fatback Band doesn't have the recognition they deserve.

This is my humble tribute to them with two truly funk monsters.

The first one is the classic "Do the Bus Stop" which named a popular damce move during the disco era.

The second one is a "Midnight Freak" edit done by the master Lee Douglas and included in the Volume 3 of the Blackdisco's edit series.

Feelin' balearic...

Neanderthal Man

El hipnotico edit que Marcello Giordani realizó del olvidado Neanderthal Man de Robert Barre es de esos temas que quedan muy bien sonando en loop mode.

Compruebenlo ustedes mismos.

Robert Barre - Neanderthal Man (Marcello Giordani edit)

--------------------------

The hypnotic edit that Marcello Giordani did for the Robert Barre's forgotten Neanderthal Man is the kind of tracks that fits very well played in loop mode.

Check it by yourselves.

I fall to pieces

Frustrated Funk acaba de inaugurar una auspiciosa serie llamada When Insanity Slips In.
Las tiradas de estos discos son ultra limitadas. Cada ejemplar es numerado y su arte de tapa es hecho de forma artesanal. Pero el lujo no termina en el packaging.

Los encargados de abrir la serie son The Hasbeens que en esta oportunidad bajan un poco los BPM pero conservan esa melancolía vocoderizada que nos pone la piel de gallina.

The Hasbeens - I Fall To Pieces

I fall to pieces se consigue en algunas disquerias, como esta o esta otra, pero hay que apurarse.

--------------------------

Frustrated Funk just started a new promising vinyl series called When Insanity Slips In.
It will have very limited pressings. Each unit is hand-numbered and has a handmade cover art. But the luxury doesnt end in the packaging.

The Hasbeens are the designated openers of the series. In this opportunity they lowered the BPM but keep intact their thrilling vocoderized meloncholy,
I fall to pieces is availlable in some record stores like this or this, but you need to hurry.

Taurus is calling you...

Voice Of Taurus de Bruno Spoerri es un disco especial para freaks de los sintetizadores. Una gran cantidad de maquinas y excentricidades analogicas varias fueron usadas para este LP.

Aqui les dejo dos de sus temas mas "terrenales": "Hymn Of Taurus", una extraño proto electro que abre el disco y "Hallo World", una especie de space disco revisitado en 2006 por Soft Rocks.

Bruno Spoerri - Hymn Of Taurus



Bruno Spoerri - Hallo World

Voice of Taurus en version vinilo es toda una rareza, afortunadamente el sello Inzec tuvo la idea de relanzarlo aunque solo digitalmente.


Bruno Spoerri's Voice Of Taurus is a great record for synth freaks. Lots of machinery and analog excentricities were used for this LP.

Here are two of its most "terrestrial" tracks: "Hymn Of Taurus", a strange proto electro tune that opens the record and "Hallo World", kind of space disco revisited in 2006 by Soft Rocks.

This vinyl is quite a rarity. Fortunately Inzec Records had the idea of re issuing it, only in digital format though.

John Cooper Clarke + Moxie

En Marzo de este año el sello Moxie edito un fantástico 12" firmado por los anónimos Pacific y Loverman.
El disco contiene en su lado A un edit de "(I Married A) Monster From Outer Space" del genial John Cooper Clarke, canción originalmente editada en 1978 y producida por otro genio: Martin Hannett.

El lado B contiene otras dos joyitas.
Indispensable.

Pacific - From Outer Space



Y como bonus... otro clásico de John Cooper Clarke.

In March of 2009 Moxie released a fantastic 12" signed by the anonnymous Pacific & Loverman.

The record has in the A side an edit of "(I Married A) Monster From Outer Space" from the legendary John Cooper Clarke. This track was originally released in 1978 and produced by another genius: Martin Hannett.
