Track Of The Day: Honey Bane - Girl On The Run (You Can Be You)

 

This was bought as a consequence of coming into contact with Crass, and as far as a punk single is concerned, it’s got it all. Wailing voice, great, clipped guitar riff and an overwhelming feeling of dread. I mean what more do you want? It came into my head while I was in Berlin over the weekend. No idea why. Maybe I clocked someone whose appearance took me here. Who knows. It’s a great track though and couldn’t have come from anywhere else but The UK. Great tribal drumming to play it out. Having said all of that, it’s the repetitive siren like motif that sticks in the head the most. It’s a meeting of audio landmarks if nothing else.

Track Of The Day: Dollar Brand - Blues For A Hip King (The Sun)

 

The last one before Berlin. Brilliant from Dollar Brand, aka Abdullah Ibrahim, who has just slipped off this mortal coil.

Track Of The Day: Ron Trent - Seduction (Subwoofer)

 

If there’s one track that typifies Ron Trent’s sound, then for me it has to be this one. It’s not my favourite from him, but it is unforgettable. It manages to be deep, driving, soulful and woozy at the same time. And the percussion, that sounds like a slick, air-dampened batacuda barrage. One of the great deep house tracks and long enough to support two or three lesser tunes on the mix.

Track Of The Day: Metamatics - Bodypop (Shipwrec)

 

A great track of weighty, slo-mo electro from Metamatics, aka Lee Norris, who has been releasing stuff from the mid nineties, but nowt since 2024. ‘Bodypop’ is electro suspended in amber. A track to gauge the retro in vitro. Cryogenically frozen beats inhabiting a strange funk hinterland where B-boys breakdance on elevated Persian rugs, levitating above their dreams to decompose and then regenerate, their body parts taking on new meanings and motions in the process.

Tracks Of Yesterday: Erik Satie - Gymnopedies 1, 2, 3

 

In the nineteenth century ambience with rhythm was being produced. Erik Satie’s ‘Gymnopedies’ are almost certainly the precursor of the type. The first time I heard this was probably while watching ‘Diva’, when ‘No. 1’ is used in the scene in, I think, Le Jardin des Tuileries. Lovely stuff.

Track Of The Day: Defunkt - In The Good Times (Hannibal)

 

‘In The Good Times’ comes from Defunkt’s eponymously titled debut album and is, not surprisingly, inspired by Chic’s more famous track of nearly the same name. It’s a documentation of singer Joe Bowie’s drug addiction at the time and is a great piece of bass-driven heavy avant funk. The guitar work and effects burst out all over the place, kept in check by the vocals, bass and horns. It’s another one that takes me back to the smoke-filled bedrooms of my youth and hearing it now brings on a Proustian rush. Defunkt’s first two albums are brilliant, and I was lucky enough to see them at the New Morning in Paris in the mid nineties. And I think I touched Joe’s trombone.
