LIMINAL SOUNDS: SUBLIMINAL TRANSMISSION #2

LIMINAL SOUNDS VOL.10: BLACKWAX

It was reported recently that contrary to all the signs that music as a physical format is dying vinyl sales have risen by 55% in the last year. As the music industry at large continues to try and quell the tide of leaks, poor quality rips and illegal downloads that threaten to bring it down on a day to day basis, it is clear that vinyl still retains a power that is helping it to stay alive. Be it the warmer sound quality, its tangibility or purely the mystery that lies within its grooves, the extensive connotations of vinyl as a bastion of underground electronic music remain. It is with this larger context in mind that I would suggest that the production moniker of Luke Dubuis and Ross Addy, AKA Blackwax, so succinctly captures the spirit of their musical endeavours.

First of all, a massive thank you to all those involved in making the night happen, all the artists who smashed it on the night and everyone that came down.  We hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did.

While we start to get ourselves together and prepare for the next event, here are some photos from LS02...Massive shout out to Hali for taking the photos, you can check out more of here work here: http://www.halimaolalemi.com/

LIMINAL SOUNDS VOL.09: INTREAU

Sadly gone are the days of a DJ mix being cherished as a coveted artifact, a bold artistic statement that gives a glimpse into one's own unique musical DNA. On any given day you could download an infinite amount of mixes as people churn them out as part of the promotional merry-go-round. However, this is not to say that the romantic ideals and mysterious art of mixes do not remain. Part of the joy of putting together this mix series (albeit very slowly) has been the exposure to new music that you otherwise might never have stumbled upon. And so i must thank Venice Calypso for bringing the curator of Vol.9 in the series to my attention.  His mix opened with the Space, Ladies remix of a track called 'Alpha' by a fellow Polish producer unknown to me at the time by the name of Intreau. A little investigation and some great music later and I found myself in the presence of a great new producer, so i quickly chased him up.

Following what we hope was the success of our experiment with LS001 thanks to the generosity and talent of Throwing Snow and Drop/Dead, in the run up to our next event with Get Some on Fri 16^th Sept we have attempted to push things even further with LS002.

SINGLE OF THE WEEK: EAGLES FOR HANDS (GET SOME RECORDS)

EAGLES FOR HANDS

(GET SOME RECORDS - GSR002)

A. EAGLES FOR HANDS - RED BALLOONS

B. EAGLES FOR HANDS - BEDTIME BUTTERCUT

C. EAGLES FOR HANDS - DUTTY WHITES

Having built a reputation for themselves with their finely tuned blog showcasing a wealth of underground UK talent, the Get Some stable lay down the gauntlet with their inaugural release courtesy of Brighton-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Eagles For Hands. Since the blog’s inception in Autumn 2009, they have endeavoured to shine a light on new talent, pushing good music irrespective of genre, and have clearly brought this open-minded and forward-thinking attitude to the label. The three-track self-titled EP bears the marks of an impressively mature and refined sound that rides the line between the dancefloor and its dissipating memory on the way home from a club.
