Random Roundup
I've received some quality music over the last month but have been too busy to give it all my full attention. So in the interest of saving time I'm doing a random roundup of some of the most interesting tracks that have come my way.Firstly it is more quality Techno and Electro from Home Made Electronica The Spook EP is by a project entitled Doctor's Orders. There is not much more info forthcoming but it is described by its maker thus ...... "Clinical ... precise ... melodic but just a little bit dirty. The main guideline of this project is to extract something bright from a dark and gloomy atmospheric background and a noisy saturated rhythm". Sounds good to me.

Doctor's Orders - Stramhalt // Home Made Electronica
Buy it from these digital vendors. Just one other comment though guys. Great music but please fire your graphic designer! The covers for these EPs are truly awful.
More filthy happenings from the Dirty Soundsystem. Firstly a great re-edit by Pilooski of John Miles. "Stranger in the City". This one sided slab of 10" vinyl was limited to 500 copies and is no longer available. It's no surprise when you hear this classic extended and refixed.John Miles - Stranger in the City (Pilooski Edit) // DLL07
Next up is Dirty's first proper artist release. Discodeine are Pilooski and Benjamin Morando. They are inspired by "Morricone's weirdest sounds, Chicago House, Krautrock and and of course disco". Their Discodeine EP is out on the 8th January 08. Check this slab of trippy space disco.
Discodeine - Ring Modulation // DLL08
The Rvng of The Nrds Vol 4 is now out. Lovefingers are the ones responsible for these new set of edits from a mid-70s pre-disco Spanish compilation, a Moroder obsessed Bollywood composer, a squishy-squashy space funk anthem, and an Italian new-age progenitor.The results are as you'd expect; retro space disco beamed in from a time traveling space-ape high on disco biscuits. Hmm proper.
Lovefingers - Zoysia // Rvng of the Nrds Vol 4

This has been out a while but is still highly recommended. Studio do their tripped out Balearic remake of A Mountain Of One (Great name) This group have a sound pitched somewhere between Psyche Rock and Progressive with splashes of Latin and world music thrown in for good measure.This remake adds some heavy smacked out 4/4 beats to the mix along with some Flamenco style guitar. Very Ibiza.

Dirtier Edits
After the disappointing 5th installment, the D-i-r-t-y Crew have un-earthed some gems for their next two releases, Dirty Edits #6 and Dirty Space Disco Vol 1.First up is an obscure 80's classic which you will all recognise but few will know the artist or title. 'Goodbye Horses' by Q Lazarus is the tune used to soundtrack the serial killer Buffalo Bill dancing in the Silence of the Lambs. (Also parodied to great effect in Clerks 2 check here)
It has been given the edit treatment by Krikor and he has extended the track and removed the choruses, to great affect.
Q Lazarus - Goodbye Horses (Krikor Edit) // Dirty Edits #6
Released April 16th. Limited to 1000 copies
Next is a slo-mo disco funk bomb from back in 1982 from Yellow Power. This is part of a new release in conjunction with Tigersushi. Entitled Dirty Space Disco Vol 1, it is pretty self explanatory and does exactly what it says on the tin. Also included is a superb Joakim edit of 'Ride Me High' by legend JJ Cale. It has a great country vibe underpinned by a subtle 4/4 beat.Yellow Power - Hai Samurai (Pilooski edit) // Dirty Space Disco Vol 1
Released April 30th. If you like the vibe of these two tracks check out www.alainfinkielkrautrock.com the blog from the D-i-r-t-y Crew.
