Free entry, Monkeys Forehead, 11th Feb. Our local turned disco. You know where it's at.

LTMN Insanity Playlist 25/01/2009

Back in business. All kinds goin' down...

Reggie Stepper - Under Mi Sin Ting: Tough dancehall cut to start the evening. Reggie's under too much of the influence again, oh dear...
Roddie Joy - If There's Anything Else Want: Classic early sixties soul, defining that girl group sound.
Ovni 87 - Sueno Un Camino: Blissed out Eastern jam. Think swirling opium dens where the walls drip purple black.
Herbie Hancock - Sly: Far-out jazzy-funk from the legend that is Herbie Hancock. A rhythm section that just keeps spewing phrases forward like a pure groove machine gun.
Beyond The Wizards Sleeve - Get Ready To Fly: Mammoth re-edit from Erol and Richard, purveyors of fine psychedelic slabs.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Sue: Neo-psych royalty the BJM make there first appearance of the year with a catastrophic slice of psychedelia. Well worth seeing them live for this track alone.
Asselefetch Ashine And Getenesh Kebret - Amlak Abet Abet: Wonderful track that closes the Ethiopian Soul And Groove comp on Ethiopique records. Nightmare chants on a snake charm rhythm.
Los Jaivas - Foto de Primera Comunión: There's a touch of whistful melancholy behind this folk-rock groover, but the bongo's bring a sense of hope and the bosa nova guitar is infectious.
The Exciters - Exciters Theme: Big soul-rock stomp flown in from Panama. Hot, reverberated and easy, perfect for a big ol' dancefloor twist.
John Klemmer - Third Stone From The Sun: Kaleidoscopic sounds from the third rock (yes folks, that's Earth), Klemmer seems to have invented his ultimate reality and discussed it heavily with a brass quartet. The result is a soaring lively groove.
Lady Ann - Informer: Rolling, rumbling riddim cut with Ann's infectious rhyme. Bliss!
Cardopusher - Jerk Pork: Released just before christmas on my new favourite label, Lo Dubs, this is the B side to his crushing Dubstep cut, Milk Thistle, which we get an airing some time very soon.
South Rakkas Crew - Mad Again: Feel good digital dancehall stomp that wobbles all over the place.
Hot Coins - Valient Truth: Cosmic half tempo disco on TIRK records, with a heavy natural bass sound and a synth that takes you to space.
Grandmaster + Mel Melle - White Lines (Don't Don't Do It): Classic hip hop. Don't act like you don't know!
Love Supreme - Rocquet: Heavily tripped out dance music; the new romantic drums drive along a myriad of intergalactic aural treats.
Midfield General - Disco Sirens (Chicken Lips Remix): The General's punk funk slayer gets reworked into a rhythm riddled eleongated nu-disco trip into outer awesome.
Vincent Markowski - Dirty Capsules: Dark techno disco stomper, DC Recordings' most recent release and we approve!
Khaos Feat Khan - Cerebral Tremelo: Back when Kitsune were fresh... Up front punk-funk-disco trip that gets under the skin all itchy and feverish.
Dolby Anol - Tender Touch (Genuine Guy Remix): New release from backyard recordings bringing the upbeat electro house.
Diplo - Must Be A Devil: Diplo nicks a big ol' pixies riff and slaps it all over a bouncy low end slice, with matching vocal. Like a carnival commited to vinyl and everyone's invited!
Tong & Spoon - Gas Face (Lee Mortimer Remix): Mortimer brings his unique style to this big room house track, smashing up the dance floor with heavy synth bass and gallons of fun.
Drop The Lime - Hear Me (AC Slater Remix): Massive tune on Trouble And Bass. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Lennie De Ice - We Are IE (Drums of Death Remix): I've played it before and i'll probably play it again. Big tune out on Y4K last year.
David E Sugar VS Ears - First OK: Full on glitch assault. Ears spits over distorted bass and fractured drums. SO SO good.
Arcadion - Arc: Bringing it back down to a sensible tempo with this chugging disco grower.
Doors - Ghost Song: Perfect 60's ender, all disco beats and flexible bass. Swirls of smoke and bright yellow dreams.
