Coma Skank

Coma Skank by Kamikaze on Mixcloud

It's been a decent week for Pan, what with that long-awaited Lee Gamble LP dropping and the Sensate Focus Heatsick-rework 12" appearing as if from nowhere. Ace. Pan bounty aside tho, find within a Jonathan Harvey tribute; some sleazy dub from Bellows; an apocalyptic Stig Inge plate; some tribal bits from across Africa; and the continuation of the phenomenal posthumous Muslimgauze release schedule. In other lost and reissue music this time, Mississippi vinylise another bunch of belters from the Ethiopiques series; Sympathy Nervous treats us to some plastic lovin'; Sham Palace offer up a blinding collection of Indonesian pop; Die Doraus wishes us a pleasant morning; and Tunji Oyelana want the bus to slow a little. Otherwise, Elyse gets a rewind; the Cults Percussion Ensemble continue to twinkle; Andy Levine stacks the stuck grooves; Burial's got a new single, and there's a charming debut from my namesake Poppy. All these things make me happy x

Love In The Mist - NTS 15th October

Love In The Mist by Kamikaze on Mixcloud

In this installment of Awkward Movements on NTS...

Glitchy magic from Grischa Lichtenberger; gloomy beats from Christian Cosmos; industrial twang from Monoton; broken dub with Seekersinternational; classic hip hop from cLOUDDEAD; static shocks from Emptyset; drifty business with Jan Jelinek; vocal silliness with Matmos; and some seriously epic electronica from the new Bee Mask LP.
That stuff aside, a couple of surprising remixes; a little rainforest chanting, a bit of tribal drumming, some stonking carnival beats, a slab of dub; and a few rather rude horns.

Let Me Clear My Throat / Burning Nest

Let Me Clear My Throat by Kamikaze on Mixcloud

Debut drivetime edition for Reel Rebels Radio featuring some chripy numbers from Trinidad and Hawaii; rude and rowdy carnival drums and horns from Ethiopia, Haiti and Morocco; new Mark Fell and Seekersinternational LPs; some shortwave numbers station recordings; a Pete Swanson 7"; another new Rrose 12"; triple Sloop; a couple of new albums on Sahel Sounds; moody Liberian guitar music, a testcard taster, a bunch of throaty stuff, and some wistful blues from John Jacob Niles. Now please bear in mind it was pretty warm down in the studio on Tuesday, and my head doesn't fair so well in the heat, so I feed you all sorts of bollocks, such as that there's a new Agali Ag Amoumine LP out (there isn't), and that 78+2=74 (it doesn't), but all the tunes are solid gold, so as long as you ignore me you'll have a great time with this one.

Burning Nest by Kamikaze on Mixcloud

Mark Fell's in here twice, both as Mark Fell and as Sensate Focus; there's a big chunk of Anworth Kirk from their new LP Shacklecross; a couple of new singles from the ever-reliable LIES camp, from Trackman Lafonte & Bonquiqui and Torn Hawk; some Ethiopian bits, both mesmerically pretty and rowdily tribal; and sticking with tribal, the new Cut Hands single is rather, and there's a pretty hefty slab of Haitian rara to get yer abs around.  Otherwise there's a cracking new LP on Pan by Aaron Dilloway and Jason Lescalleet; a smidgen of Tahitian sunshine; and a clunky 23minute number from This Heat.
