This is incredible. For those of you who think house music is just more generic dance music made by white European kids on laptops in their bedroom for consumption on Soundcoud and in clubs full of other kids hopped up on molly, dig a little deeper and you’ll learn that Larry Heard was one of the pioneers and early architects of the genre who infused this primarily dance floor-focused music with nuance, pathos and poetry beyond what it took from it’s churchy soul, gospel and disco roots.
Now 30 years on from when he first melted minds and heart with his beautiful take on house music, he is back with a new single, ‘Full Moon’, a track, the opener, from his forthcoming new album, Cerebral Hemispheres, the first album under his Mr. Fingers pseudonym in 25 years due for release on April 13 on Alleviated Records. Based on this corker, he hasn’t lost a step and I for one cannot wait to hear the full album! If you feel the same, you pre-order the album HERE.
The fourth and presumably last single before Toronto’s Keys N Krates drop their first official full length album, Cura on Friday.
Previously on the Kitchen:
– Keys N Krates – Glitter Feat. Ambré [MP3]
– Keys N Krates – Do What U Do [MP3]
New track, “Undone” featuring Toronto singer Sylo Nozra by Art of Shades, a new Franco-Italian producer based in Paris. It’s the first single and video from his forthcoming EP.
Mildlife are a Melbourne four-piece bonded over the desire to push musical boundaries, developing tight live shows bolstered by wild improvisation, with influences that vary between the loose electronics of Caribou, Floating Points and Todd Terje to the more organic likes of Can, Sun Ra, Herbie Hancock and the fellow Australian psych revivalists, Tame Impala. They have just announced their debut LP via Australian imprint Research Records for February 23rd. “In terms of their influences, the Australian group remain as open as they can possibly be, an breathlessly ambitious fusion of house music, psychedelia, disco, soul, and more.” Clash magazine have said.
SOLD!
Another Oz act that seems inspired by the modern indie-electronic-psychedelic spark Tame Impala set off. Again, we are not mad at that. As the ‘kids’ say, we are here for that! Hit play and enjoy this near 9 minute magnificent journey.
“The Magnificent Moon” track from the forthcoming Phases LP.
