Alex Moulton - Exodus

I remember a time when I was a child, where new words and pictures would put wild and strange images in my mind.
Sometimes these images come back, while i'm listening to Vangelis or Tangerine Dream, or any disc distributed by Pan European Records.

Rains of destroyed alien motherships setting megalopoles the size of a planet on fire, fluorescents deformed beasts roaming a desolate and stricken countryside, strange faces growing in the sky till filling the horizon.

Someone made me experience these sensations again recently. His name is Alex Moulton, and he released "Exodus" at the begining of the year.
(and I can't help but smile like a child again everytime when i look at that intelligent and fascinating take on the no-budget video-clip)

Mixes for the summer

Some free (and old) mixes for a change

a beautiful monomaniac and slowly-evolving techno mix by Speedy J & Georges Issakidis on the very inspired blog Get The Curse, the 61st of a long running and always interesting collection.
Speedy J & Issakidis – Electric Deluxe [gtc061]

a more ghettotech-oriented mix, perfect to drop massive amount of sweat on the walls, this one is full of bangers (many more mixes on DJ Dials site)
DJ Dials - Face Melters Mixtape

Lastly, because we sometimes listen to music which is not always electronic in essence, the last one is the perfect mix for the summer, from the excellent african underground music blog Awesome Tapes From Africa, very moving and melancholic, slow and reconforting as the ever-coming heat waves during a burning hot afternoon nap.

John Daly - Space Walk / Morning Moon

Let's be honest, I never heard of John Daly until a few months ago, thanks to a beautiful EP released on Drumpoet earlier this year... A great deep-house record, by the way (just play 'This Is A Lonely Beat' loud in your headphones even when riding a crowded Parisian métro, and see if you don't start jigging about); and at that time I thought "This is a name I need to remember".

OK, here we go : the Irish fellow just had a new EP published on Mule Musiq! Still deep-house oriented, 'Space Walk / Morning Moon' lets you dive into an ocean of strings and oldschool round basslines, sometimes skimming the borders of tech-house & trance continents, like some of the best tunes issued on labels such as Ibadan records.

If you don't know what it means to look blissful, then take some time to listen to the whole record. You might suddenly close your eyes,and then, after a few seconds, an ingenuous and happy smile should appear on your face. It's good for your morale, don't worry and let yourself go.



PS : Pour les francophones, on est sympa, on vous met un lien vers un blog qui se penche sur l'album de John Daly, sorti au printemps.
