Floating Mind - Live from Chez Moi mix

Todays listening is some deep and minimal tech from the Monokrak crew.

Black Dog mixes

After listening to their new 12" repeatedly, I've been consuming more and more of the Black Dog, and I'm digging both these mixes for completely different reasons. One's the brilliantly deep darkwave/ IDM/ techno that they're renowned for producing, the other a collection of post-punk and British experimental that's a fascinating history lesson for those who weren't around to see it.

Shallowrave. Show One, Year One

New Groovy Mix by Morphamish

No, I'm not being a hippie, that's what it is called. The man himself describes it as "Bassy groovy mix to download - 119-129bpm. Featuring tracks from Morphamish interspersed with others from DFRNT+Paranoise, Four Tet, A Made Up Sound, Untold+Roska, and Hostage+Blackwax" and who are we to argue?

"The original Roll it vocal by Soom T on the riddim track by Mungo's Hi Fi. Check the Disrupt version on Jahtari's massive 'Ode to a Carrot' LP . Large up DJ Zinc for the Super Sharp Shooter track - big tune.

We never got around to releasing it, so we thought we'd share it."

Trish Keenan: 'Mind Bending Motorway Mix'

I posted this on Dangerous Minds last week, but it deserves to be shared again. Trish Keenan was the singer in the indie/electronica band Broadcast, who died last week of pneumonia.



Image via Bobo Epileptic.

Just before the recent trip to Australia on which she contracted swine flu, Broadcast singer Trish Keenan compiled some experimental music and psyche-pop for a friend, and called it the “Mind Bending Motorway Mix.” The mix (which has no track list), has been uploaded as a tribute to the late musician, with a view to being shared with as many people as possible. Joe Muggs at The Arts Desk writes:

“A friend in Birmingham who had become good friends with Keenan in recent years has passed me THIS LINK for a “mixtape” she gave him very recently. It’s the most wonderful collection of psychedelic rarities, film music and synthesiser experiments, and perfectly illustrates Keenan’s constant mission to turn people on to exquisite and unusual sounds - but also, as the tracks are not titled, shows the sense of mystery and incentive to investigate with which she imbued all her work.”

Shallow Rave - A Year in Free Music

A look back at all the (legally) free music we've posted about over the past 12 months. I guess some of these links will have expired by now - I don't know which ones, but good luck finding out. If you do find a dead link let us know in the comments and we will take it offline.

Happy New Year!

EVEN MORE free music!? Jesus Christ! Well it is the reason for the season.

3. STEREOLAB Interlock (Disco Edit)
4. STEREOLAB One Finger Symphony (Disco Edit)

HEADLESS KAMIKAZE B-Sides LP Free Download

So, if you were paying attention back in April, the name Headless Kamikaze should be familiar - he was one of the featured acts on our FUCKNO compilation. Alexander Kibanov is from Russia and makes short, angry spazblip that is only slightly reminiscent of Napalm Death mincing a warehouse full of old Casios. Alexander has almost called it a day on making music, and we are proud to be able to present one of his last ever releases. With nearly 40 tunes, it's a compilation of rare tracks, unreleased material, and as the title would suggest, b-sides. ATR fans should definitely check this out.

DeathKill4000 Mix / Minterview

DeathKill4000 - it's a club night. And also some kind of weird religion. We hear they worship noise and have a third sex deity. Primarily active in the Glasgow underground in the middle of the last decade, DK4K has recently returned from beyond the grave to the new venue of Bloc. New for them that is - Bloc is old. We asked them to do us a mix, and resident Dirty Marc (aka Monty Funk - he means to have you boy) was only too happy to oblige. Here it is in all its noisy/post-dubstep/glitchy/slightly-rocky glory:

Dk4k Is Back From The Dead by Dirty Marc (Aka Monty Funk) on Mixcloud

Brian Eno - Complex Heaven
Whitehouse - Foreplay
Evil Nine - Die
Borgore - Saturday Night
Rustie - Hyperthrust
Monty Funk - Robocop
Kanye West - Power (Loop)
Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross - Eventually We Find Our Way
Eels - Get Your Freak On (Loop)
Bot'ox - Tout Passe, Tout Lasse, Tout Casse
Joker - Digidesign (Om Unit Mix)
Herrmutt Lobby - Fat Manual
Mux Mool- Death 9000
Grinderman - Super Heathen Child
Grinderman - Heathen Child (Weatherall Mix)
Luke Vibert - Lfo
Zola Jesus - Night
The Bug - Poison Dart (Dj Baku Megamix)

And as a special Brucey bonus I managed to corner Marc to do us a wee interview, 9 questions in total:

Where did the name come from?
My fellow selector FiFi Chops and our good friend, guitar ace Gunthor Manhunter were discussing humorous names for a fictitious metal band back in 2003. The best one seemed to fit the idea for a night we were planning to start and so we stole it.

When did you start Deathkill4000?
The 1st DK4K was at the Woodside Social Club on 26th June 2003 - it was a wonderful mess.

What was the inspiration for the club?
I'd been DJing at some gigs put on by the other DK-founder, Clitoris Party, and we thought it'd be good to try a club night. We wanted to put on something that always had an uncompromising live act and with a music policy that reflected the breadth of our tastes in rock and electronic noise. We needed a good name though, and FiFi not only provided one, she also came on board to add to the musical breadth with her own extreme tastes. At that time, there was really nothing else like it in Glasgow.

Electric chair or lethal injection?
Firing squad - so much more heroic.

What one tune will always ignite the DK4K floor?
Slayer - Angel of Death is always a winner, you can't really argue with Slayer!

What is the best band you have ever put on?
That's a tough one. A couple that stick out for me are The Bronx's 1st ever UK headline show at DeathKill at the Barfly - total punk mayhem. Lesbians On Ecstasy blew everyone away and on a personal note, I always had a blast with Vancouver electro-shock-rappers Stinkmitt (and they put on a hell of a show). [I can confirm that as I was there - it was aweosme!]

Charles Manson or Ted Bundy?
I'll let FiFi take this one, she's the serial killer expert.
"Manson. He MADE OTHER PEOPLE KILL, that's power right there."

During the DK4K hiatus, what clubs would you frequent?
Mainly, anywhere that would let me DJ, but I did sometimes go other places... The Sub Club is hands down my favourite place to frequent, and to DJ at - in Glasgow at least.

Ideally, how would you like to die?
Ideally, I wouldn't - but when I do I'd like my remains to be shot into space - let the infinity of the Universe make some eventual sense of me.

24 Hours of Hardcore - Free to download

Steven Blush, author of the above pictured book, has put online 911 of his favourite hardcore tracks from 1981-1986, which you can listen to and/or download from here. That's hardcore punk, not gabba. This went online yesterday, the website has already gone down once, and it's still spreading across the net like wildfire. Get in there quick before it goes permanently.

BEN BUTLER & MOUSEPAD ft The Niallist "Infinite Capacity (For Love)"

Ever so slightly cross-posted from www.niallism.com



Here it is! The debut EP by Ben Butler & Mousepad on LOAF Recordings, that features the Niallist singing on the lead track "Infinite Capacity (For Love)". Niiiice!

The 6 track EP is out for digital download now, and features "Infinite Capacity", new tracks "Electric Bamber-boo" and "Other Islands II" along with Dam Mantle and Fugelance remixes of "Infinite Capacity", and an Eero Johannes mix of "Electric Bamber-boo". You can purchase a copy of the EP here.

There's a re-edit of the track from when we originally recorded it, way back in early 2009, by Dolby Anol. It's excellent and not included in the EP. (I can see why, as it doesn't fit the overall sound.) Here it is for you lot to download anyway.

The Dam Mantle remix has been editted to fit the release, so here is his original full length remix for you lucky buggers as well:

DJ Goatface Killah Presents... "Ave Satanas"

DJ Goatface Killah made a name for himself at the Satanic Toga Party a few months back by supplying the devil-worshipping revellers with a soundtrack of non-stop Dark Lord-themed hits. This being the witching season, we asked him to do a Satanic mix for Shallow Rave, and here it is. It's rather bloody good too, and surprisingly features nothing from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (no, that's a different Iron Maiden). HAIL SATAN! \m/

Age of Consent Free Download

Age Of Consent is the new project from Joe and Darren of Shitdisco. This time their disco is not shit, and it sounds like it comes from a gay club at some time around 1986. If you know your Hi-NRG you should get the name reference (Bronski Beat's 1st album, hetties). Here's a free download of their track "The Beach", remixed by the equally awesomely named "Valis" (look it up, non-Philip K Dick fans).

Age Of Consent "The Beach (VALIS Remix)"

CHURCH OF WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN - Octo Gate / Locust Ritual EP Free Download

From our pals at Black Lantern Music - they have this to say:

"Combining the up-front, hard-edged electronic assault of Asthmatic Astronaut, on ferocious form in his first official outing since 'Super Intelligent Common Sense,' and the twisted flows of hQ, fresh from production duties on 'Vortex Cabaret,' this EP is the rawest, sickest three tracks of hip-hop / electro to come out of Scotland in a long time.

Read their insane bio for more information about the project. COWTSHTF are featured on today's Radio Scotland Music Cafe show with Vic Galloway - tune in to catch them live in session, no doubt destroying the place as they did last Sunday at the Black Lantern birthday party."

So download the EP from here, listen to it through, and then it should be about quarter past one, time to tune in to Radio One to hear the band on Vic Galloway.
