DJ Food - One Man's Weird Is Another Man's World

DJ Food - One Man's Weird Is Another Man's World

Ninja Tune legend DJ Food returns with his first EP in nine years! "One Man's Weird Is Another Man's World" is the first part of a series of three EP's planned by Strictly Kev which will then form the backbone of an album being released next spring, tentatively named "Stolen Moments". The new EP is a spectacular return.. 'The Illectrik Hoax' features Nathaniel Pearn aka Natural Self aka one half of The Broken Keys in a role he's not normally known for, that of vocalist. 'extract from Stolen Moments' is the first of several variations on a theme that will run through the forthcoming album of the same name. Co-written with PC and seeing the light of day in remixed form after being shelved at the last minute for the Kaleidoscope album. 'All Covered In Darkness Part. 1' hosts guest appearances, in sample form - from two artists previously associated with DJ Food. Ken Nordine should need no introduction, he provides the verses whilst the harmonies of The Dragons fill the choruses. The good Dr. Rubberfunk joins in on drums to glue the whole thing together and then freq's out on Part. 2 as things get heavy.Post rock legend & ex-Tortoise member Bundy K Brown appears on the 13 minute poly-rhythmic percussion epic "A Trick Of The Ear", a stunning mixture of styles that veers and evolves through several different stages yet never becomes self-indulgent.. headphone music based on circular rhythms aimed at the head rather than the feet.

At over 30 minutes long, the 5 track 12" vinyl features artwork and double sided poster by 2000AD artists Henry Flint whilst the MP3 bundle download features an extra track 'Tricky Little Ears' (The Cheech Wizard Pays Respect To All Living Creatures Who Inhabit Dark Places Remix) by Bundy K Brown.

Mr Scruff - Keep It Unreal (10 Year Anniversary Edition - Remastered)

Mr Scruff - Keep It Unreal (10 Year Anniversary Edition - Remastered)

We are delighted to present THE classic Mr. Scruff album remastered (in warm and glorious analogue) and packaged with a nine-track bonus CD including six unreleased tracks from the original Scruffy studio sessions. 'Keep It Unreal' is the album that heralded Mr. Scruff as one of the great English musical eccentrics, tunes like 'Spandex Man', 'Fish' and 'Get A Move On' chuckle out like Eric Morecombe on the wheels of steel. The bonus disc is full of funky 'birthday' surprises like the slowly groovalicious 'Vibraphone Boogie', some dreamy 'Eardrops'(!), a 'Trollmarch' and the banging old school 'Baisies'. Hooray!

Mr. Scruff has penned this exclusive comic strip press release to tell you more, featuring his favourite characters from the last ten years!

Ape School - Ape School

Ape School - Ape School

The wonderful and expansive Ape School album that Daedelus brought to Counter's welcome mat is finally unleashed. Made by Michael Johnson (ex-Lilys, ex-Holopaw, current Professor of Acousmatics), the self-titled Ape School debut is a newfangled lesson in glamatic pop, with a sweeping palate of sound conjured from archaic electronics, built on rock structures and instruments, and soared by MJ's distinctive croon (which you'll remember from Daedelus' "Make It So"). The vinyl LP contains an exclusive wax-only song called "Sigh Something", while the download bundle contains the digital exclusive "General Distraction".

03.07.09  Cinematic Orchestra Remix

Fink returns to tantalise your eardrums this Summer with lead single and title track from his brand new album, “Sort of Revolution”. As if the original wasn’t already an effortlessly classy, subtle and moving piece of work, Fink has enlisted label-mate Jason Swinscoe for a rare-as-hen’s-teeth Cinematic Orchestra remix. The single, available as a digital only bundle, also includes a genius spaced-out Dub remix from Sideshow, and yet another perfect piece of songwriting, delivery, and production from Fink in exclusive bonus track “Don’t Look Down”.



17.06.09  Kid Koala Tickets

Soundcrash presents a very rare live performance from KID KOALA & special guests!

2nd July 2009 @ Garage, London

£12.50 adv (+ £1.50 booking fee)

This is a very special, very rare opportunity to have your self a musical indulgence; seldom-touring multi-skilled Canadian Kid Koala is coming to London for an exclusive live set this July at the newly reopened Garage in Highbury!

Comic-book writer and artist, comedic-scratch master and more than 'Your Mom's Favourite DJ' this guy breaks boundaries, then smashes whatever is behind them. Since becoming the first North-American signee to Ninja Tune in '96 he has made a name for himself far beyond the clubs, all the way into stadiums in fact touring with the likes of the Beastie Boys, Radiohead and Bjork. With a renaissance man such as this in the newly refurbished (in it's original tube-station decor!) Garage expect to be surprised once more by this inventive turntablist as he transports us through his wonderful imagination via the good 'ol 1210s.



12.06.09  Speech On Your Wall!

Now that Speech Debelle's sensational 'Speech Therapy' is available to purchase both physically and digitally, why not acquire the accompanying poster, which features the album artwork and release details. A2 in size and setting you back just £1.00. A sure deal.



05.06.09  New XRABIT & DMG$ Single

The Texas-Dalston axis return with the third single from their marvellous debut album and it’s a cracker. “Love Of My Night” details the traumas and madness of the one-night stand and works less as brag about how Trak Bully and Coool get theirs than as a cautionary tale on the (very funny) dangers of mixing Jaeger and Red Bull. Xrabit once again shows his production smarts by mixing pure booty rhythms with sparkling cascades of synth work. It shows why there’s such a buzz around this producer. And, if you really weren’t sure, check out his superb, housed up remix of the same tune or his original version of the psychedelic drugs tune, “R We Friends.”

Album “Helllo World” picked up great press in the UK and is starting to generate some real momentum in the States, with Spin, XLR8R and the hulfe influential allhiphop.com all getting right behind it. With some crazed live shows at SXSW and a US tour with 2 Live Crew in the works, Xrabit & DMG$ are finding love wherever they go…
