Music

Great late night drifting, dusty jazz loops and breathy flute, via Epitonic.

Crackle-heavy bass loop, some piano flourishes, and a breathy flute solo. The only beats are in the realms of conga and shakers, zero boom bap. This kind of thing could easily get maligned because of its cafe friendly sound, but the track stands up really well I reckon.

I guess the title hints that this is not going to be at all disco, nor Nigerian-sounding for that matter.  I grabbed it from The Internet Archive, where it was uploaded by an Australian label, but you could also try the guy's Bandcamp...

Solo harp deconstructions thanks to New Weird Australia. It's one of those pay-if-you'd-like-to jobbies.

This remix is amazingly remote from the original lilting, guitar-led sing-along.  But its weird hard-to-pin tempo etc. is pretty great.

Slow-building scuffed bliss pop singalong posted in February at XLR8R and also on Houses' Soundcloud.

A weirdly jagged ambient dub number, heavy on the dread, and available from NME of all places.  Unique.

Really individual-sounding hip-hop beat, get from Ta-ku's Soundcloud or the player thing here:

 As I enter my 37th year, forgive me a bit of nostalgia... Saw a Creation Records doco last week and started the day listening to some Medicine and Ride.  I was going to do the usual thing of posting some links around the traps but figure may as well throw some things together.  Very, very obvious choices if "you were there", but hopefully enjoyable.
