Track Of The Day: Boards Of Canada - You Retreat In Time And Space (Warp)

 

Track Of The Day: DKMA - Soul (Forensic)

 

Dana Kelley had three releases as DKMA on Forensic, an unlikely destination geographically for his deep aquatic grooves, but one which showcases some of his best tracks. ‘Soul’ is as good, for example, as anything he pout out as Callisto on Guidance, and is similarly characterised by a g=hard drum sound draped with all manner of diaphanous sonic embellishment. Vocals mumble abstractly in the foreground while others emerge siren-like from the background. And the percussion. Jazzed up rimshots a foil to the Basic Channel like metronome. House doesn’t get deeper than this.

Umwelt/DJ Mell G x Unklevon - For The Floor Vol. 5 (Cultivated Electronics Ltd)

 

Title: For The Floor Vl. 5

Artist: Umwelt/DJ Mell G x Unklevon

Label: Cultivated Electronics Ltd

Cat Number: CELT016

Genre: Electro

A1: Umwelt- Memoryscape

A2: Umwelt - Morphing Sequences

B1: DJ Mell G x Unklevon - Get Down

B2: DJ Mell G x Unklevon - Get Down (Sync 24 x Controlled Weirness Remix)

Umwelt’s ‘Memoryscape’ really is that, although it must be said that the memories must be strange ones. It’s a driving piece full of the type of swirling noises only available at a Harry Potter picnic. The proverbial dementor wormhole as seen from the backseat of an Uber in the docklands. ‘Morphing Sequences’ is heavier and more menacing, making good use of squelches, its a disciplined battery in amongst the chaos of Goldorack’s universe. The Mell G x Unklevon track comes in two versions. The original, relying very much on some neat, bullet point percussion is crisp and full of unhinged depth. The remix doesn’t depart much from the original, there is an amplification of peripheral ambience though which makes a very positive difference and gives the imprsssion its been flung down a wind tunnel of uncertainty.

DJ Haus - EnerGIZer (UTTU)

 

Title: EnerGIZer

Artist: DJ Haus

Label: Unknown To The Unknown

Cat Number: UTTU200

Genre: New Rave Interpretations

1: EnerGIZer (O.G. KLUBB MIX)

2: EnerGIZer (Shed Remix)

3: EnerGIZer (Zoriok Compressor Remix)

4: EnerGIZer (Yassokiiba Remix)

This is the 200th release on UTTU. So, what to expect? Well, it was the inclusion of Shed that brought me here. Then, on closer scrutiny, I find out that Zoriok is Legowelt, with Yassokiiba being a new name to me. I’ll start with Shed’s remix, as that’s what’s playing right now. Pounding, ambience dampened steam hammers with high frequency electronic squiggles. Then it takes off, meandering over the rave hills until coalescing with its beat. That’s what I expect from Shed so I’m not disappointed. The Yassokiiba Remix

seems to be a dub laid on top of the vestiges of DJ Haus’s ‘O.G. KLUBB Mix’. Everything is slowed down to a very manageable speed, which is nice as its 33 degrees outside right now. I’ve just taken the dog for a walk and we’re both knackered. The Zoriok Compressor Remix is an ingenious symphony of high frequency sonar dynamics underpinned by break beats, that is until it goes off on a tangent, marking for all its worth. The O.G. KLUBB MIX sounds almost conservative by comparison. Which it is, in spite of its heaviness and power. Moreover, not for the first time recently, I’m feeling the Neil Landstrumm influence here. Sort of Relief meets ghetto-tech with a more contemporary veneer.

Track Of The Day: Marco Passerani & Orlando Occhio - Criticise (Peacefrog)

 

It’s the start of meteorological Summer, with pagan summer starting in three more weeks. Typically the sun has chosen to take a nap, but it’ll be up and at ‘em again I’m sure. Anyway, here’s an essential cover version of Alexander O’Neil’s classic, delivered in suitable deadpan style by Orlando Occhio. Of course, it wouldn’t be nearly so effective if the backing instrumental didn’t jar in all the right places. A great cover version that has more than its fair share of dissonance, all of which grinds the sonic gears in order to produce a wonderfully harmonious and emotive piece of uptempo chug.

Track Of The Day: DJ Metatron - You'll Be The King Of The Stars (Traumprinz)

 

One of the tracks that I have in mind when “riding the panpipes back to base” comes into my head. There are no panpipes and there is no base, but this tune evokes, more than most, a divine journey. One in which you know you’re going to reach your destination, no matter what. So many symphonic and emotive layers, all perfectly pitched. A polyphonic harmony of all your best moments rolled into one. The anthem you didn’t know you needed. And, at nearly eight minutes long, far too short.

Coyote / Lonely Deckchair - Bodega Notts 30/5/26

Track Of The Day: Magazine - Suburban Rhonda (Virgin)

 

One of the standout tracks from ‘Magic, Murder & The Weather’, for me at least, as it used to be on heavy rotation in the various bedrooms of my late teens. Plucked from Magazine’s last studio album, and one which saw the disbandment of the group before it was released, ‘Suburban Rhonda’ has a laconic charm, brought into existence by Devoto’s characteristically sharp wit and a very relaxed backing. 

Track Of The Day: The Fall - Leave The Capitol (Rough Trade)

From ‘Slates’ one of the key Fall releases on their long and varied existence, ‘Leave The Capitol’ is an intense, electric throb upon which Mark E. Smith’s lyrics sit. It feels totally improvised and together at the same time. Hearing this in 1981 was a bit of a revelation. It feels forward -looking, but also trapped within the sum of its parts. MES’s voice as unrestrained as it gets, corralled within an effervescent broadside of garage band ballyhoo.

Track Of The Day: Millsart - Every Dog Has Its Day 4 A1 (Axis)

 

An amazing piece of music from a superb release. The ‘Every Dog Has its Day’ series should have got more coverage. This untitled track really is the music of the spheres. It’s the techno equivalent of Larry Heard and feels very spiritual. The ambience of an acoustic cave where all the rocks have a different sound as long as you touch them in the correct sequence. It feels very much like ‘Gamma Player’ which, in my humble opinion, is the best techno track ever made. And all of this release is in a similar vein. A cosmic fusion of electronics and soul, and not quite of this world.

Track Of The Day: Mark Ambrose - I Wanna Go Bang (Crayon)

 

Typical Ambrose. Will work equally well in a house or techno set, although my feeling is it would be better in the latter. Anyway, I guess that’s why the tech house genre started isn’t it? And once Ambrose started releasing music he became a major player within that sphere. This is madness. And there’s nothing like a party horn keeping time just to tip you over the edge. Which is where the synths come ion to widen the state of play. It’s the eponymous sample which gives the track more momentum than anything else though. Great for raising dance floor intensity and keeping it there as an underla

Track Of The Day: Sonny Rollins - Old Devil Moon (Blue Note)

Track Of The Day: Clio/Roberto Ferrante - Eyes (Paris Mix) (Planet Records)

 

Great piece of Italo here. Wonderful melody, arpeggiating into the distance. The vocal sounds a bit ruffled, which only adds to its charm. And once the chorus kicks in and the intensity is raised, it’s almost Japanese. Everything hits the right note on this track. Music doesn’’t get more synthetic than this, yet its soul is tangible.

Track Of The Day: Salif Keita - Soro (Afrika) (Stern's Africa)

The title track from Salif Keita’s breakthrough album, ‘Soro’ is typical of the rest of the album in that it feels a little over produced. That’s not an issue as such, at least not  when everything harmonises so well together. Keita’s voice stands out of course, as does the underlying rhythm which is a sonic pan-African potpourri. It’s a bit dramatic towards the end, m which is something that may have sounded better had it been rawer. It certainly made its mark though, and takes me back to when I went to see him live touring this at the Astoria back in 1987.

Track Of The Day: Zillas On Acid - A Wonderful Time In A Terrible Club (Fantastic Twins Remix) (Inside Out Records)

 

More mutant nonsense, this time from Zillas On Acid remixed by Fantastic Twins. This is disorientating, paranoid dub. The tectonic plates present may seem a little ill-matched, but that’s this remixes genius. There’s about five different tunes here roped into one, and what holds them together is the steady beat of the drum. Great use of spoken word samples as well, giving it a very secret tapes cold war feel. Well, we’re back there aren’t we.

Track Of Yesterday: Velmondo - Name Your Price Edit 007 (Les Yeux Orange)

 

I don’t post many tracks straight from Bandcamp. However, I couldn’t find the video and this was the only way. And who minds advertising when the quality is this good and free? The ’Name Your Price Edits’ compilation is available for just that and this is one of its standout tracks. Chuggy, cosmic and dark. Redolent with menace and strong gothic overtones. Part of an alternative soundtrack to ‘The Seventh Seal’, I’ve got the scene with the flagellants in mind. Having said that, that just describes a normal evening in the town centre where I live.

Track Of Yesterday: Icho Candy - Babylon (Rockers)

 

If this isn’t sunshine music then I don’t know what is. The temperature suddenly soared yesterday afternoon, which coincided with me going to run a 5K with the remnants of a stinking cold. It was a tournament organised by the local running clubs here in Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Herts. I’m happy to say that what was left of my malady was left on my shirt, which was soaking wet after the run. I also ran a very respectable 21:22, which is quite quick for an old fart like me. Anyway, on the walk back to the car we passed some kids playing cricket. This was around 8:15. They probably had another 45 minutes before bad light would stop play. Definite Augustus Pablo melodica ambience.

Track Of The Day: Gil Scott Heron - Angola, Louisiana (Arista)

 

‘Angola, Louisiana’ comes from the album ‘Secrets’, an album I used to own but sadly don’t anymore. And the reason I’m posting this is because when I looked at the track list I had a bit of a Prussian rush. Honestly, there are a hatful of tracks I could have posted, but this one stands out. ‘Angola, Louisiana’ references a high security prison. More specifically, it is “A courageous message about the unfair trial against Gary Tyler who supposedly killed 13 yrs old Timothy Weber during the assault by white students against a black student's minority recently integrated thanks to new antiracial regulations in '74...GT is still in jail”. That was cut and pasted from a YouTube comment, so it’s a bit all over the place, but you get the picture. Black American music is full of such references. People literally getting away with murder and framing others if they can. “There are more than 6,000 men currently imprisoned at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola—three-quarters of them are there for life, and nearly 80 percent are African American. It's the end of the line for many convicted criminals in Louisiana, which has the highest incarceration rate of any state in the U.S.”

Track Of The Day: Rhythm & Sound - Mango Drive (Wackies)

 

There’s not much to say about this track except that it’s possible to listen to it forever and not get bored. In spite of what feels like a simple structure, dub like this has the ability to suck you in and keep you transfixed. This is anything but smooth though. Because although there are tight boundaries, within those walls there is an elastic reality. 

Robert Hood - Spectra (M-Plant)

 

Title: Spectra

Artist: Robert Hood

Label: M-Plant

Cat Number: MPM52

Genre: Techno

A1: Spectra

A2: E. Dark

B1: Untitled (Spectra)

B2: Fiend

Even though it was released back in 2001, ‘Spectra’ may be a new tune to me as, although I bought a lot of the M-Plant stuff on sight, I think I’d stopped by 2001. Why, I have no idea. I mean I’ve got a lot of records so it could be in there, somewhere. In any case, in his heyday Hood was the innovator, alongside Mills. They both followed different paths though. Both onto their own specific artistic vision and while Mils pursued a sort of sci-fi aesthetic, Hood was gazing more inward. His minimal vision has always been a singular one and his production so crisp and physical that it is still amongst the most forward thinking music of its type today. On the face of things that may not be immediately apparent. However, once you’re locked onto the demented machine funk accordion of ‘Spectra’, you soon realise that this isn’t just any old process. There are myriads of different layers and inflections laid out which mutate with every different listening. It’s not all like that though. Both ‘E. Dark’ and ‘Fiend’ loop the loop and plough a relatively one dimensional furrow. They’re great at what they do however. And the quality of the production as well as the measured way that they let off steam means that they aren’t to be categorised with the normal fare enjoyed by the sweaty techno masses. ‘Untitled (Spectra)’ has a lot more about it. There are swirling phantom noises, for example, and even though it feels linear, there are small indentations  which emphasise the fact that it is a coalition of off-beat chaos. The keys are pure Detroit, and then there’s a violin. This isn’t an easy thing to imagine, let alone make. No problem for Mr Hood though. The devil in the detail.

Track Of The Day: Jun - B1 Outergaze 2 (Capricious)

 

This track comes from someone called Jun, of whom I have no more information, and is on Capricious, a Japanese label. This has atmosphere. Composed primarily of a lilting sub bass and syncopated urgency, along with the inevitable beat to hold it together there is an atmospheric interloper in the form of whirling synth swathes. These elements combine to form a percussive tech monster which threatens to burst once it plateaus, it never quite does that thankfully. It would sound great coming out of yesterday’s TOTD, or the reverse.

Track of The Day: Levon Vincent - Invisible Bitchslap (Deconstruct)

One of the best and most menacing pieces of dance floor focussed dub techno in existence. I doubt there’s anything to beat it, but what do I know. Such a large full sound that would be equally at home in a big room or a front room. Has to be heard on the right sound system though. No half measures with the equalising. This was the first release on Deconstruct, a label Vincent set up with Anthony Parasole which, while it had a short existence, contributed more than the sum of its parts. Vincent’s insistent, linear and tribal beats remind me a lot of what Octave One have always done. And, coming from New York, there’s also the shadow of Danny Tenaglia in there as well. These are Levon Vincent’s beats though, and it’s a pity he’s not still churning them out.

Track Of The Day: B(if)tek - Wired For Sound (Murmur)

 

B (if) tek, an all-female group out of darkest Australia who I’m just discovering, released this, an homage to Cliff Richard’s tune of the same name, back in the year 2000. I wonder if it sounded as futuristic then as it does now. I mean Cliff’s original back in 1981 with its roller skating video was avant-garde enough, but this. And as Australlia take part in Eurovision, why not B (if) tek? This would sweep the board. It might even be enough to get Cliff to crawl out from under his carapace and slither into the audience to beam his positive waves towards the stage. 

Track Of The Day: Dorau/Kohncke - Durch Die Nacht (Geiger Mix) (Kompakt)

 

I randomly grabbed this from the shelves and played it for the first time in ages. It comes with a couple of remixes, the other by Wolfgang Voight. This is the one I prefer though. The filtered looped vocal played over the wistful, bittersweet beats. It’s got great chug potential too. Well, almost everything on Kompakt with the schaffel stride has. Great track that takes you somewhere.

Plant43 - Spells For Warding Off Evil (Silver Threads)

 

Title: Spells For Warding Off Evil

Artist: Plant43

Label: Silver Threads

Cat Number: 

Genre: Ambient/Drone

1: Spheres Of Protection

2: The City Lies Silent

3: Broken Hex

4: Music For Surgery

5: Dreams In Viridian

6: Resisting Infernal Gravity

7: Haunted Fields

8: Prey Of The Nocturnal Raptor

9: Bittersweet Tears Fall

10: Dreams In Vermillion

11: Buried Codex

12: Embers Of The Old World Fade

Well, if it’s an immersive experience you want, listen no further than ‘Spells For Warding Off Evil’. The sound design of this album feels like an experiment in expressing a stream of consciousness through the layering of undulating drone patterns against a backdrop of emotive, sonic dissonance. The tracks seem to have the potential to overlay themselves as well, with each of them occupying a specific region of sound that is prone to movement and, as a result, containment. Some tracks are more robust than others: ‘Bittersweet Tears Fall’, for example, feels concrete and onomatopoeic. ‘Haunted Fields’ is the soundtrack to a Battle Of Britain dogfight in a parallel universe, while ‘Dreams In Vermillion’ is the soundtrack to demons being invoked through a short wave radio. That these frequencies operate in regions of the subconscious which have suddenly been rendered concrete. From the ominous, subdued, opening of ‘Spheres Of Protection’, the sound design of which is subtly augmented by ‘The City Lies Silent’. Through to the twin pillars of ‘Buried Codex’ and ‘Embers Of The Old World Fade’, the confrontational former blending into the uncertain and unsettling latter. This is a voyage into sound.

Track Of The Day: Surgeon - Optic (Downwards)

 

This is a cut from Surgeon’s debut album, ‘Communications’ and seems to blend the minimalism of Robert Hood with the scything bleeps of Neil Landstrumm. What’s goos about it is the way the bulk of the track retreats into the distance whilst the bleep remains in the foreground, only to come back of course, but maybe not into as sharp relief as the listener might like. It’s a lovely track to have on the headphones, in spite of its viscerally uncompromising stance and slices up the senses from a different angle compared to its Detroit overseers.

Track Of The Day: e-n - The Horn Ride (Ian's Classic Cut) (Tribal)

 

In some nightclubs in the mid  nineties, the messy, druggy, decadent sound espoused by Tribal ruled the dance floors. Coming from New York, it had a certain depth and versatility about it which saw records on the label find their way into all sorts of DJ sets. ‘The Horn Ride’ was released as a double pack with a range of remixes, but I like this one the most, for its minimalistic darkness Tardis-like ability to invoke a sense of space.

Vladimir Ivkovic ‪@TheLotRadio‬ 05-11-2026

 

Track Of The Day: Magazine - Shot By Both Sides (Virgin)

 

One of the most memorable guitar riffs ever, which first appeared, if memory serves, on ‘Lipstick’ by Buzzcocks. That means of course that Pete Shelley gets a writing credit for this tune. It’s a monster, and this video, which I’ve posted on account of some great crowd expressions and Howard Devoto’s uncanny hairline (defo going through some sort of Roxy/Eno phase with it), is great. I don’t know it’s context though, so if anyone does feel free to let me know. I’ve a feeling it was filmed in Belgium or Holland not long after release. One of my all time most persistent eagworms, and I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve posted it.

Shawescape Renegade - Exoframe (Tresor)

 

Title: Exoframe

Artist: Shawescape Renegade

Label: Tresor

Cat Number: Tresor. 382

Genre: Electro/Techno

1: Light Years From Earth

2: Mechanise 9

3: Terraformers Warning

4: Terraformers Warning (Arpanet Terraformation Quanta Remodel)

5: Ignition One

Shawescape Renegade, aka Jeremiah Shaw is a new name to me, which just goes to show how out of the loop I am I suppose. Anyway, it’s an early Tuesday morning in Suffolk, the dog is being lazy and doesn’t want to go out, so I’ve started listening to ‘Exoframe’, his debut release on Tresor. And it’s stated well, apart, that is, from me typing “Shawshank” and having to go back and correct my mistakes. I guess a release like this represents a milestone of sorts in the evolution of electro as there aren’t that many new artists breaking through and coming from Detroit always carries extra kudos. However, no one gets a free pass so it had better be good. And, while it isn’t going to revolutionise the genre in one fell swoop, it’s everything that you want an electro funk excursion to be. The production is pleasingly heavy and crisp without being excessive. The bass is concave and economical filling a lot more space than might be apparent. And the emphasis is on the beats throughout, which are all strictly electro with the exception of ‘Mechanise 9’, where the steam hammers take over and the beat is ironed out. The Arpanet mix of ‘Terraformers Warning’ doesn’t differ that much from the original inasmuch as its trace elements are recognisable in a much more urgent, fidgety take which sounds like it’s been recorded inside a washing machine inside an echo chamber. The bookends, ‘Light Years From Earth’, and ‘Ignition One’, are the funkiest tracks on this release. Both of them coast through the twilit electro hinterland within the chassis of a metaphysical lowrider powered by their own beat flatulence, and who doesn’t like that?

Track Of The Day: Public Space - Menuditis (Underwater)

 

This is one of a handful of releases I still have on Darren Emerson’s Underwater label from around the mid nineties. It’s the B side to ‘Prometheus’ and showcases a young Steve Rachmad effortlessly doing what he does best. This isn’t as complex as many of his releases from around that time, with his output on 100% Pure being particularly high quality, as well as that on Fragile. It is, though, as good as it gets for contemporary dance floor focussed techno that isn’t loop based. There are dubby, depth-endowing overtones to it, as well as good momentum (the two don’t always sit side-by-side). And, as you would expect from Steve Rachmad, great production and clarity. Lovely stuff.

Track Of The Day: Two Lone Swordsmen - Bim, Jack & Florence (Emissions Audio Output)

I played this album own its entirety for the first time in ages today, and even though it’s pretty solid from start to finish, this track is the one that had me bopping around the kitchen more than any other. It’s also the one that, more than any other, evokes the album title. Listening to it puts me on a conveyor belt of slow, unfolding rave drives. Full up to the eye with beans while being taken on a tour of any city I happen to been. All control has been surrendered to the chauffeur. I’ve been on a few with perhaps the most surreal being one in New Jersey one hot and sticky Friday night. Literally on the wrong side of the tracks. Sliding silently past wooden houses with large porches, everyone put on them getting pissed in the middle of the night.

Track Of The Day: Pink Floyd - The great Gig In The Sky (Harvest)

 

I don’t own any Pink Floyd records, but some tracks are so incredibly pervasive it’s impossible not to be affected by them in some way. And just seeing the cover of this album takes me back to the first floor of John Menzies in Liscard in the mid seventies. It was everywhere. I bought so many records there, but this wasn’t one of them. Having said that I wouldn’t have liked it at that age. My tastes weren’t more highly evolved than glam rock at the time. I think my proclivities were ok in that capacity though. Anyway this is a great piece of screaming. Never loses the focus and in doing so comes up with one of the most memorable pomp rock riffs. Probably.

Track Of The Day: John Coltrane - Blue Train (Blue Note)

 

‘Blue train’ has one of the most memorable and, consequently, whistled intros ever. During the eighties when I first started buying jazz Blue Note was obviously one of the places I started. And I think ‘Blue Train’ was the first album I bought by John Coltrane. The cover is amazing as well. Coltrane frozen in some sort of thinker pose. A friend of mine who has a talent for drawing sketched me this portrait and it hangs on the wall just outside my bedroom as the moment. The other thing about it is that John Coltrane looks like a young Frank Bruno. More in some photos than in others.

Track Of The Day: Cabaret Voltaire - Be Free (Mute)

 

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Cabs track. This is the opener from the last album, ‘Shadow Of Fear’ which came out own 2020 just under a year before its composer, Richard H. Kirk died. So  it followed ‘The Conversation’ which had come out in 1993 as the two albums under his sole stewardship up to that time. And even though it was just him, it certainly doesn’t lose anything that make it unmistakably of its type. Many would say that its more genuine because of this. I’m a fan of the combo approach though and while I think RHK rarely put a foot wrong, a lot of my favourite Cabs offerings come from the Mallinder era. I don’t think anything they ever put out betters ‘The Conversation’. ‘Shadow Of Fear’ was a nice way to bow out, albeit unintentionally, and tracks like this embodies everything that CV came t be known for over the years. The funk, the sense of space and menace. The sample which ever so slightly dissonant. The undercurrent of   middle eastern rhythm patterns, more pervasive than you might have realised.

Track Of The Day: Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle (Capitol)

I’ve had this in my head for the past few days and even though it’s the type of track that I wouldn’t have given much attention to when it came out, I can only hold up my hand and say that it was an age thing. The “Time keeps on slippin’’lyric is an ultimate ear worm and the track may not have been such a classic were it not for that. Anyway, it’s as funky as it gets, so when you’re shopping for chicken Kievs ion Tesco that’s all the matters. And is it Balearic?

Track Of The Day: Grant Green - Idle Moments (Blue Note)

I remember when I first heard this track. I bought the album on cd and also bought a portable cd player. A Philips. I took them both home, which was an ex-girlfriend’s flat in Palmers Green (had to move in after getting evicted from a squat). It was a Friday after work, knackered. Put it on and it did its job. There’s only one way to go once you start listening to this. It should be on the NHS for insomnia. Masterful. One of the most horizontal fitted minutes in music.
