GangColours is the brainchild of this man. You don’t need to know his real name – it’s not important. All you need to know is that he makes sublime music that has the cinematic scope of Joy Orbison coupled with the playfulness of Flying Lotus with a dash of Floating Points and you may be getting there – at least that’s how it sounds to me.
His track ‘No Clear Reason’ was played on Gilles Peterson‘s radio show recently and I just had to tell you about it – it will hopefully be getting a release in the near future. Watch this space, or his space!
As you can probably tell from the picture on the right I am a….whisper it….jaunge*. Yes, I’d probably have a bullet in my arse now if I was in M.I.A.‘s new 9-min banned video for ‘Born Free‘. At least I’m not this guy though!
After the SEGA-on-crack whiplash that was the first hearing of Crystal Castles 2010 I must say that it’s totally grown on me. But that’s nothing compared to the 180° siren-call of Celestica, the 2nd track on their new self-titled record, that Zane Lowe played on his show last night. So this is what they call Deep Club.
The internet is a fast moving beast, so the streaming MP3s that are posted may not work after a while due to them being taken down. And since I can't be arsed uploading them all again it's tough shite. I'll always post a link to a downloadable MP3 though. As always, if you like what you hear - away and buy it eh!
p.s. if I've put up a song you'd rather not see here then let me know, you can email me here
