MUMS OF DEATH GOLDEN AXE EP

01 17 2011

Mums of Death is the side project of true grimester Mumdance and hard dance scot Drums of Death, together they found their love of old video games and formulated the ‘Golden Axe’ ep.

Blending 8-bit and bassline it stands true to a retro sound and feel with standout and title track ‘Golden Axe’, along with b-sides ‘Loading Sequence’ and ‘Shadow of a Beast’ adding throwback frustration and accomplishment from the good old days!

The official video just dropped as well, a hilarious 8-bit story with a viking bro dropping into a club fed by a ‘magical pill’ and taking charge of the decks.

‘ave a listen and buy a little further below.

feral friday pt. 12

feral friday pt. 12 brings us some uk heat with plenty of dub techno two step vibes all over the place, first up is mumdance im not sure which part of england he’s from but it doesn’t matter cause the tunes are quality, this track is taken from his ‘mum decent ep’ for mad decent, its pretty old by dance music standards but its got some sweet chinese string instrument sample abit gold pandaesque backed by two step that gets me jumpin’

Mumdance – Smasher 192 kbps

Next Hot City is one that has caught my ear as a friend described its two step techno garage from the future, hot city have been making a name for themselves over the years but i have only heard of them just recently, so i did a bit of digging and found an ep from 2008 Yeah/Head Work which has started my love of hot city and if you can find it jump on it like a mental frog. i have for you hot city’s latest single ‘another girl’ its a block of tasty.

Mumdance – Kerplunk! Part One

04 20 2010

New EP on Mad Decent from London basshead Mumdance! Here is what he says about the sound and after that a free download!!

“Kerplunk! is an idea for a new sound that I have been messing about with of late. I named the sound Kerplunk! because it sounds like the old school kids game when all the marbles fall out. With Kerplunk! Part One I decided to strip everything right down & and do a golden era 8 Bar Grime track with a Kerplunk! breakdown. If you are feeling this check out a cover I did of Maximo Park’s “Let’s Get Clinical” in a Kerplunk! Style.”

MUMDANCE INTERVIEW PLUS TRACKS

09 08 2009

mumdance

Mumdance of the Mad Decent clan (Diplo, Major Lazer, Boy 8 Bit) and one of the few poms we like is downunder and playing this Friday (11th) at the return of the rap-and-rave party ‘Wamp Wamp’ along with fellow boy band-ees Kato, Sleater Brockman and Jimmy Sing.

Having recently nailed the hulking track of a tune ‘Eurostarr’ with Brodinski (also in Oz) and overall madness we wanted to detain, probe and find out what makes him move.

Ubbs:  Name, age, fetishes?

Mumdance: Jack Adams, 25, sleeping & weeping.

Ubbs: We all know mums like to ‘jive’ ‘jig’ and ‘get down on their bad thing’ but is your mum in particular a real footloose or is there another reason behind the Mumdance moniker?

Mumdance: My mum gets down with the best of them, but there is no real meaning behind the name, I just made it up when I was drunk…I do get asked this a lot though an always try to come through with a different answer. So for the purpose of this interview….The name mumdance is actually a political statement aimed at raising awareness towards the lucrative, yet highly illegal practice of people trafficking old women from eastern European countries to entertain Businessmen in Dubai by forcing them to stand semi naked on a bed of hot coals.

Ubbs: Your sound comes off like jungle-carni-rave, heavy drums, whistles and tigeress energy. Is this something thats flowered in you since day one or has Diplo secretly been narcotizing you with beats while slumbering?

Mumdance: I think the kinda big drum ensemble sound is deffo a favorite of mine, but I like to keep my sound moving and not have it rest in one place for too long. A lot of the newer stuff I have been doing sounds very different, its a new sound I’m calling “Kerplunk” as it reminds me of the kids game with the marbles when they all fall out when you lose

Ubbs: Eurostarr is and will be an even bigger track come (our) summer, how did the collab between you and Brondinski go down? man date? pen pals?

Mumdance: Me and Brodinski had been swapping music for a while over the internet for a while before we met at Paris Social Club, I guess about a year or so ago, we both have a very similar taste in music although are sounds are very different, we just decided to do a track, neither of us thought the tune would come this far, but we are both really happy with it and think its a great project as no one  would normally pair us together. I’ve just actually been to Taronga Zoo with him today & we planned the next track we are gonna do, so keep an ear out!!

Ubbs: You recently sent out a question on twitter asking what your fans wanted you to film/do in Australia, what were the stranger requests?

Mumdance: I had some pretty bizarre requests, some which are a bit too controversial to write here, you are gonna have to go on my twitter an look (please note that I do not condone them & they are not my views)

Ubbs: Lasty bit of fun, boats sinking who’s with you and who would you use as a liferaft?

Mumdance: That chick from Ali Mcbeal or Arrsested Developements Portia De Rossi…..I think she is a lesbian maybe, but I still lurrrrrrrvvvve her. Thinking about it actually I dont reckon she would float too well, but I guess you cant win them all.

So there we go, collabs and makes giant shantys by accident, starting a new genre ‘Kerplunk’ and hopefully knows now that Portia De Rossi is married to Ellen Degeneres

He’s playing this Friday at Wamp Wamp (Syd) so if you and your fellow gee want a double pass email ubbs@stoneyroads.com with your own take on what Mumdance means and you could go fo-free.

Banging that drum one last time

09 06 2009
Tropical, carnival... even tribal. These words are in unrelenting blog rotation right now. And it also seems customary, when writing about this music, to talk about the weather. "As the sun comes out, here are some summery tunes to soundtrack you summer." There is no sun here. But it is still summer. Just. But I get the impression this trend won't slide as the days shorten, cool and darken. The likes of Deadfish, Dirtybird and Sound Pellegrino are showing no signs of stopping blasting these sounds out, while the rise of UK Funky is also pushing a similarly chipper sound. So here are some of the best african-influenced tunes that have graced the Pelski inbox of late:

This trumpeting carnival beaster was kindly sent to me by 21 year old Parisian newcomer A4C. It runs in the mould of those recent great tech-house tunes that fuse jazzy brass and rolling percussion (think Coolshop's 'Trumpet Girl', Marek Hemmann's 'Gemini', Thomas Schumacher's 'Sunset', M.in & Bastian Schuster's inescapable 'New Orleans' or Sebo K & Metro's fairly self-explanatory 'Saxtrack': all worth checking out):

A4C - Unnamed Mambo [pelski highly recommends]

This track will put a great big banana-shaped smile on your face. 'The Very Best' is the new project of Radioclit - behind the awesome Secousse - and Malawian singer Esau Mwamwaya, and they sent this over in order to promote their brilliant album Warm Heart Of Africa. The title track features Vampire Weekend’s Koenig alongside a glorious flurry of congas, bassy grooves and xylophones for the ultimate slice of african dance-pop. Buy the album here.


This track has been hanging around in my inbox too long - and it doesn't quite fit the carnival/african/tropical theme here, but it has to be posted some time. This has one of those plinky-plonky hooks that sticks in the head. Simple but effective. This should smash a big room:

NROTB - Droplets [pelski highly recommends]

This next one deserves a pelski highly recommends tag too, but I can't be handing them out left-right-and-centre now... Bumpy rhythms and funky conga percussion designed to get you moving:


Lastly, MCs Jammer and Badness have collaborated with producer Silverlink for a Notting Hill Carnival special. Starkey, L-vis 1990, The Heatwave, Rude Kid and Mumdance are on remix duties. Mumdance just handed his out on the Mad Decent blog, and has given it a tropical beasting:
