the brief good weather spell seems to be over...for the moment, ominous clouds turning the sky into a sheet of grey. has the summer been jeopardised?...the mood's certainly dampened. but that's no reason to listen to crap music!
so here are some tracks that reflect the weather. a heavy air...deeep sounds...like if you were listening to an electronic orchestra underwater. profundity is key...how long can you hold your breath for...?
meanwhile, Flamingo feeds you tribal beats from danish producer Tomboy via Trentemøller. an awesome builder...enjoy...
love this next track. released on Kitsuné in 2006 before Alex Ridha (aka Kid Alex, 909d1sco, Einzeller, Boys Noize and one half of PUZIQUe) had amassed such a global following, Feel Good (TV = Off) seems to me to be a bit of an Arcade Robot prototype...with a driving, deeply distressed bassline and a beat that you can almost feel more than you can actually hear...fun for the senses...

Boys Noize - Feel Good (Tv = Off) [Original Mix]
Hervé then teams up with Trevor Loveys to make the dreamteam Speakerjunk. On Switch's Dubsided label again, they take on another old master. this time it's Jimi Hendrix and, once again, it's a bit of a beast...the original's great, the Speakerjunk remake kicks it kicking and screaming into the 21st century, but it's the Switch remix that just gives it one extra level of spunk...
despite still being young, the mysterious russian, The Proxy, is already a master at giving the musical pain. whilst appearing somewhat afraid of him, Tiga seems nevertheless to have taken The Proxy under his wing at Turbo Recordings and he's been releasing some great tracks and remixes. (CAN'T WAIT FOR HIS DANCE IN DARK EP, which is coming out in june some time...!!!) the Riot In Belgium re-edit maybe just gives the track a slightly more accessible edge...but don't worry, i'll have the originals on here at some point i'm sure...(i'll find an excuse...)
STRONG UNDERTOE AHEAD. DANGER OF DROWNING. another favourite artist of mine, D.I.M. (Andi Mead), is also a master of the brutal bassline. perhaps most famous for the electro weapon that is Airbus Baby, he also debuted on Tiga's Turbo Recordings imprint. his first release, featuring the track Syspiphos, shows D.I.M.'s ability to push the limits of his sound....and the result is an elasticated electronic soup which breaks over your head and immerses...submerges you. be careful though...once under, it's difficult to resurface...

D.I.M. - Sysiphos
