Benoit & Sergio

Mick — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 06:48:29 +0000

There’s been quite a lot of good music coming out of DC lately. The Beautiful Swimmers and now these two, Benoit & Sergio, who i’ve been enjoying since i heard their incredible Walk and Talk on the Wolf and Lamb Vs Soul Clap DJ Kicks; it’s the one with the lyrics “My baby does K all day. She doesn’t wash her hair, doesn’t wash her clothes. When I come home doesn’t even say hello”.
Walk and Talk

The few things they’ve released on DFA have also been pretty nice. Boy Trouble back in Feb.

Last week they released Principles and Everybody, also on DFA both great!
Principles

Everybody

Back in April they did a promo mix for Fabric, which i only just discovered, but i like it a lot.

Coco on the Vacation

NZ’s very own Coco Solid’s now officially releasing music on Permanent Vacation with an album produced with Bobbi Soxx (producer Robin Hannibal) as Parallel Dance Ensemble called Possesions and Obsessions

Shopping Cart is excellent.

I hadn’t seen this before. It’s Will Oldham doing mushrooms and it has some really funny/awkward moments..

A jazz mix!

Jazz is one of my favourite musical genres but I don’t post a lot about it on here. Jazz has such a long history and such a large amount of writing has been done on it, it feels a bit intimidating for me to talk about it. No such qualms about playing it though, and a few weeks ago I finally took advantage of the recording setup at my new home to pull out some of my favourites for a mix which has been up on my soundcloud and now here.

Wednesday Jazz by Bn1

As you’ll hear, my taste in Jazz is reasonably broad and generally stays on the more melodic, structured side of things. This mix actually starts off with some ghana funk and instrumental hiphop before things finally hit the Jazz side about 30 minutes in, with ‘Oregon’ a b-side from Cinematic Orchestra which has always been a favourite of mine. Further absolute favourites from David Axelrod, Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, and Donald Byrd follow. The final section heads off to south america, with some samba and bossa nova. Tito Puente who I’m a big fan of features, as well as Brazilian weirdos Os Mutantes. Lonnie Liston Smith finishes up with a Jazz funk message of peace.

Hopefully I’ll delve back into my collection again, possibly with some dub and reggae next time.

Matias Aguayo’s Beats in Space mix from the other week was possibly my favourite in a long while and that’s tough because i’ve been enjoying them much more than any other podcast for a while.

Some live footage of the show here, bird whistles included. Dude rules!

This is a pretty great un-official video for Dance Yrself Clean; note the appropriate use of Kermit.

On the subject of Dance Yrself Clean, here’s the track that LCD used for the inspiration; someone suggested LCD Soundsystem put out a compilation of the tracks that inspired them on their albums. I think it’s a great idea!
