Sublevel - Total Erosion

Do you miss the 70's? Even if you hadnt existed in the 70's, i bet some of you still wished you had!

Well, i've found a way to transport yourself back to that particularly 'zowie' time, and thats through the medium of music.. Sublevel's music to be precise!
This is Sublevel's first proper release, and it's entitled 'Total Erosion'..

Strap in, switch on and you'll soon find yourself on a cool, crisp leisurely cruise through low tempo disco beats and soft retro synthesis..

You will definately feel transported back to a time that was but wasn't.. If you know what i mean.. ;)

Total Erosion is available to buy through Bandcamp at the loving price of £10..
Here is the link

Enjoy!

So it's here at last.
The first EP release from Soulless Party.
Inspired by 70's/80's british science fiction shows, 'Exploring Radio Space' plays like a document of 'Found Phonics' that were plucked from radio waves sent into space..
Hope you enjoy it..

Exploring Radio Space is available to buy at Bandcamp..

Label to watch..

Gotta put a good word out for this bloke.



Dan Hoal from Los Angeles is a rather dab hand at knocking out a good tune and his production/engineering work is second to none.. He's worked with the likes of Aimee Mann, The French Kicks and more notably the great Nancy Sinatra.

He's just launched his own record label 'Hollywood Fly Records' which promises to deliver some quality, down to earth bands and music.

The man has great and varied taste in music. You only have to hear what he's doing with the brilliant up and coming Kid Moxie..



I may sound a bit biased here as i've also had the pleasure to work with the Moxies and Dan but i have to say, i do look forward to hearing new things from these guys and the label.

Check out Dans new label and Kid Moxie here

Good luck Dan. ;)

New Hong Kong in the 60's album.. Now!

Dreamy, dreamy... so damn dreamy! Thats why i love this bunch so much...

Here for the first time in british air, is the much awaited release of HK60's first proper album 'My Fantoms'..

Capturing the forgotten past that never was and sounds of 60's/70's stereo test albums, My Fantoms oozes a summery, breeziness that basically makes you want to be lying in some corn field in Devon or somewhere with a loved one watching the clouds drift by..

Particular floaty driftiness is found in tracks like 'At your Door'(love that synth in the mid8), 'All at sea' and the title track itself..

Often times i am reminded of early Saint Etienne in Fox Base Alpha mode.. Lovely!

A track that immediately makes me quite excited in a rather nerdy way is the wibbly wobbly 'Les Petits Chasseurs Au Bord Du Lac Lunaire', a synthy affair that sounds like a cross between very early Depeche Mode B-Sides and Alan Hawkshaw..

All in all, a very pleasurable listening experience and an album which for sure i will be listening very close to this summer.. ;)

Golau Glau - Myrrh & Myth EP

Aaaaaaaah.... Dont you just love being all warm and cozy inside?.. Especially when we're undergoing such harsh, freezing conditions out there!
Well here's something that will definately warm the cockles...

Golau Glau are back with some lovely warm merriment. Often squidgy, synthy noisesmiths but here we find Golau Glau in reflective, wintery mood which kind of captures the spirit of the season but also the times we live in.. you may even detect hints of Cocteau Twins and if you listen carefully.. a bit of Mike Oldfield! But thats no bad thing.. cos those are the kind of lovely ethereal sounds you want for this time of year.

The stand out track for me is Oak moon. Its the winter solstice today and what better track to have on as you break out the mulled wine and mull over the past year...

Why not spoil yourself this festive season? Download this album, Its free ! And is without doubt music you just wanna be lazy to! I wanna curl up on the sofa next to a roaring fire, with the telly on mute showing images of Noel Edmonds, listening to this album.. In fact i'm gonna do that just now..

Anyone gotta match?

Soulless Party CE3K Mix Tape

Spielbergs classic movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind is probably the movie i would consider my absolute number 1 favourite.
It's unique, inspiring and quite haunting and as a tribute, i've uploaded a new mixtape specifically as a tribute to this amazing movie.
Hope you enjoy..

Travels with my camera...

So i took my 'Haunto-vision' camera out with me this week and travelled to my old home town of Redcar in Cleveland to see all my old 'haunts'. Places that kinda scared me a bit..
There was one particular street called westmorland street where a friend lived and i remember it was quite a claustrophic looking street, quite narrow like a darkened corridor where the houses towered over like old rotting tree's..
