It's the Supersound

Another winning video from our friends over at Moop Jaw — Qua’s “Goodmorning Sun” is a surrealistic run that’ll make you wanna strip down.

If you read our blog regularly, you must have already known that we like Clark from Warp Records. Even if you weren't too sure about him before, it's worth a try to listen to him again because this time he might be more appealing to you!

His new album "Totems Flare" is a quite interesting album. There are, of course, some very Clark-style tracks on it, although there are also some tracks with new styles too. Our favourite track from the album, which we are posting today, is "Rainbow Voodoo". It's just such a cool track that has hard electro sounds, also kind of Super Mario sounds. Now you must wonder what we mean by Super Mario sounds, just wait until 3:03 and then you'll understand ;-). This computer game sound also appears in the track called "Future Daniel"(not as much as Rainbow Voodoo though). There is another interesting track called "Luxman Furs". This is something that artists like Boys Noize, Siriusmo may make/play. It's a very nice dark, heavy, noisy track. Oh, of course there is "Growls Garden" in the album. Don't forget to check this one too!

Also, it's the 20th anniversary for Warp this year. They are doing a tour called "Warp 20" and they are coming to The UK (Sheffield) on 19th of September and Japan (Tokyo) on 21th of November. Clark will be playing live in both of them. So, if you live near Sheffield or Tokyo, You should go and see it instead of us! More information is found here. You can get a copy of the album from Bleep, shops etc.


ブログを読んでくれてる人はもう知ってるかもしれませんが、私達は結構Clark(Warp Records)が好きでここでも何回か触れています。前のポストを読んでトラックを聞いてもやっぱりイマイチと思った人も今回もう一度だけちょっと聞いてみてください。もしかしたら新しい発見があるかも・・ですよ。

彼の最新アルバム"Totems Flare"はなかなか興味深い出来となってます。もちろんいかにもClarkらしいトラックもありつつ、なんだか新しいスタイルなんかも入ってます。しかもそれがなんだかちょっと親しみやすい感じだったりもします。今回載せたトラック"Rainbow Voodoo"はアルバムの中でお気に入りのトラックでエレクトロ的な要素と何故だかスーパーマリオチックな要素もはいってたりします。その問題の（？）マリオは３分３秒辺りで始まりますので気をつけて聞いて見てください。そしてこのゲーム的なサウンドは別なトラック"Future Daniel"にも現れちゃったりします。（こっちはそんなにマリオっぽくはないけど）そしてもう１つ興味深いのが"Luxman Furs"というトラックで、Boys NoizeやSiriusmoなんかが作ってたりプレイしてても違和感のあまり無い様なダークでノイジーなカッコいいトラックです。そして勿論以前にもポストした通り"Growls Garden"も収録されてますので、そちらもお勧めです。トラックリストは上に↑あります。

そしてClarkを見るチャンス！今年で２０周年を迎えるWarpですが、それを記念して"Warp 20"と題したツアーがあります。イギリスはSheffieldに９月１８日、日本は東京で１１月２１日で行われます。Carkはどちらでもライブをするようなのでチャンスがある人は是非！詳しい情報はここで、そしてアルバムはBleepやお店でゲットできます。

Our friday just got a little better with the arrival of a promo mail containing two new remixes from Jakwob and Lifelike of the second single from UK artist Killa Kelas upcoming album “Amplified” (dropping September 21st). “Everyday” was produced by French house master Alan Braxe (co-creator of the Stardust dance anthem “Music Sounds Better With You”). The Jakwob remix sees Killa Kela getting the similar treatment as Ellie Goulding got earlier this spring where Jakwob brings it up a notch or two and bangs out a fierce dubsteppy remix track, whereas Lifelike decides to treat us to a classic sweeping synths and French house sounding remix.

Atlantic Connection is an LA-based producer who also runs the indie label group Westbay Music Group, which focuses on urban electrosoul.

AC has been producing a few particularly fresh new artists and has released 2 promo singles to set the buzz ablaze! The tracks have a ghettoglam feel that will easily appease those looking for a club hopper while still maintaining a laidback “let’s roll the top down and go cruising” vibe.

Suggested listening is the beat heavy, synth laden and lyrically fiendish Big Shot, which features Julz and Tetris, 2 other LA cats. Or you can download the full promo single for Selfish, which features Jeff Rhodes, and Whisper, here and here respectively.
