Mach V @ Back To Mine: 20090508

It's been a bit of a quiet week, this week: I've been mostly locked away in a room with 11 of my peers as I do my up standing citizen's duty as a Jury Member for the next couple of weeks. Dom and I did visit Blissfield's recording studio in deep and dark West London to record a podcast to talk about Echaskech's forthcoming appearance at their festival. I'm not too sure when it'll be aired but if I find out, I'll let you know. Here's this week's...

Mach V @ Back to Mine, May Day Music 20090501

As it was glorious May 1st - a day where socialists and pagans both bond over the beauties of spring - it seemed right to start this show with some revolutionary music and The 180Gs version of Negativeland's 'Christianity is Stupid" seemed a great place to start. Like my own revolutionary tendencies, the theme does peter out rather quickly but I do wish you all a happy International Workers Day. :) A quick note about Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova who I was introduced to the night before though the magical film "Once". The missus and I were quite stumped by the arrival of this in our Love Film selection as neither of us remember putting it on our list and the description of it being "a Modern Musical" didn't really fill us with confindence, but oh my; what a wonderous movie.

The story revolves around an Irish Busker (played by Glen Hansard) and a Cech immigrant (Marketa Irglova) who bond over their mutual love of music and their relationship that springs around it. It's not really a musical but it is a film about music and how synergy plays a huge role in how musicians get together - the first moment when Glen and Marketa play together gave me goosebumps - and its the amazing music and the magic that happens between Glen and Marketa when they perform which is the real star of the show, here. Straight after the movie finished I was on the internet looking for the OST and thanks to emusic we now have The Swell Season, the recording that came out of the back of that LP.

Anyway - go get the movie. It's lovely. :)

Here's the Track Listing:

180 G's - Christianity is Stupid The Who - We Won't Get Fooled Again Thee Hypnotics - Revolution Stoned Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - Thou Shalt Always Kill The Doors - Indian Summer Wisp - Shep Shaep Sheep Arovane - Good bye forever Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova - Falling Slowly Horse Feathers - Curs in the weeds Bowerbirds - The Marbled Godwit Bon Iver - The Park (Live) Bodof Songs - I can't see a thing in here Origamibiro - Noshi The Accidental - The Closer I Am Fever Ray - I'm Not Done The Beaufort Scale - Boej Kashmet Inceptdate - seasons School of Seven Bells - Wired For Light Transient - Class Transient - downtime Bonobo - Nightlife

Mach V May Day at Back To Mine 20090501 by machv

Mach V @ Back To Mine, 10th April, 2009

It's been a great week for Back To Mine. I finished off building the new deck area so we have a new oustide space to play tunes, dance and chill together, and we were also joined by two new resident selectors:  Second Life electronica genius and resident alien, from Albany, NY: Transient Zeluco and new to Second Life, from Ontario, Canada: Alexian Jupiter. Both will be enriching the Mine with their music collections and not only that, long time BTM resident and long time Second Life DJing partner of mine, Sagesse Sautereau came back to play some excellent tunes after me on Friday.

WARNING! Before you start to listen to this, please be aware that the first part of this mix features two very long and rather self indulgent King Crimson tracks that might only appeal to some of you! If that might be the case, may I suggest that you fast forward to 19:00 and start listening from there. The rest and noble few of you who like a bit of prog in your lives: more power to you: "Whallay". If you decide to dive headlong in and don't like what you hear, well you've only got yourselves to blame; I did try to warn you... ;)

Tracklisting

King Crimson - Starless & Bible Black King Crimson - Starless Inceptdate - Winter Transient - Ain't no cure for the way you walk Soy un Caballo - Robin Bon Iver - The Park (Live) Animal Hospital - Memory Durutti Column - Messages Mountains - Sheets two Fever Ray - Triangle Walks Dialog AV: Run Silent, Run Deep School of Seven Bells: Sempiturnal/Amaranth Ladytron: Ghosts Squarepusher: Zounds Perspex Prodigy: Outer Space DJ Zinc: Submarines Benga: E Trips La Roux: In for the kill (Skream's Let's Get Ravey Mix) Si Begg: Are you the big boy DJ?

Mach V @ Back to Mine: 20090403

A slightly shorter show this week, due to some technical difficulties with our router and setting up the stream, and sadly there's a bit of distortion on the recording, which I didn't notice until right of the end of the set - you might want to take some bass off when listening to it. I hope it doesn't distract too much from the recording. The opening track - the new Tunng single from need no water records - has taken me a while to get into but, after seeing them live with Tinariwen last week I'm in love with it. I'll try to remember to play the Soy un Caballo version next week for you. Mucho thanks to Mixmaster Morris for the Animal Hospital track "Memory", off the LP "You Are There" which, along with the Fever Ray eponymous release and the reissue of the School of Seven Bells Album, "Alpinisms" have been making my musical world a far better place, this month.

Track listing

Tunng - Robin Durutti Column - Glimpse Antony & The Johnsons - The Crying Light Planet Boelex & Lisa's Antenna - Fall Fever Ray - Concrete Walks Animal Hospital - Memory Sigur Ros - Svefn - g - Englar Aphex Twin - Xtal Animal Collective - My Girls School of seven bells - Sempiternal/Amaranth The MFA - The Difference it Makes (superpitcher rmx)

Back To Mine set: Best of 2008 round up

I finally managed to get down to it and sum up some of the great music that has made 2008 great for me and it's mostly LPs, which I suppose is a change in itself, as for the last 14 years of DJing my music purchases have been mostly made up of singles, but moving on to buying CDs and having an emusic subscription has changed that. Anyway - on with the list (it's not in order, but the best is saved to the last):
