Hoooomumma.
Need a pick-me-up mix/video to get you through the day? Head to be-at.tv to watch all nine hours of Carl Cox[above] playing the final-ever party of his 15-year residency at Space Ibiza, Music Is Revolution. Two things to take away from it: (1) Cox is forever one of the best all-rounder DJs in the game. (2) Space Ibiza has one hell of a smoke machine. For those playing at home, of the hundreds of tracks, his final selection was ‘Someday’ by CeCe Rogers followed by ten seconds of “The End” by The Doors. Legend.
Some more great viewing: Red Bull Music Academy Daily has produced a documentary following Chicago’s infamous Disco Demolition Night, featuring interviews with those behind the racially charged incident. A very compelling watch – head to daily.redbullmusicacademy.com. For the gear heads, in a video uploaded to his Facebook, Levon Vincent speaksabout his favourite pieces of hardware. Finally, the video for Powell’s [also above]new track Jonny (taken from his upcoming debut album Sport on XL Recording) is just a compilation of people trying to crack a watermelon with their heads. Music is weird sometimes.
Ol’ mate Asquith is returning to our shores. One of the finest contemporary selectors in the game, he’s best known as the label head of Lobster Theremin and Mörk, and he also runs the Find Me In The Dark night at London’s Corsica Studios. Expect a night of all-killer, no bullshit tech-house filler. He’s coming for Ghostly Warehouse on Friday October 14.
Tour rumours: ooooh what’s a girl to do? Fatima Yamaha AKA Bas Bron is locked and loaded for an Australian tour next March.
Best releases this week: IT’S HERE. The second full-length from Nicolas Jaar, Sirens (on Other People), has finally landed. I’m two listens in as I type this and oh my it’s good. For those who love a bit of a soul and jazz touch to their dance music, you can’t go past the latest compilation Jeremy Underground Presents Beauty (Spacetalk Records). Straight up perfect listening as we begin to enter the warmer seasons. Otherwise I’d suggest spending some time with The Caretaker’s Everywhere at the End of Time (History Always Favours The Winners), Lucy and Rrose’s The Lotus Eaters (Stroboscopic Artefacts), Fis’ From Patterns to Details (Subtext) and Ozel AB’s Valis (Lobster Theremin).
