DJ Chart - JG Wilkes
The leading man when it comes to the fightback against digital DJing and one half of Optimo Espacio, JG Wilkes offers up his current favourite records.
Runaway - Black Label Honey (TBD Remix) Great remix (two guys from !!!) 707 drum work out leading to an epic acid track
Riva Starr - I was Drunk (featuring Noze) – Made to Play Reminds me of Cajmere/Dajae “You Got me Up” style with the wonderful Noze on vocals. Unique and hilarious house music.
Fever Ray – When I Grow Up – Rabid Contrasting Remixes from Dan Lissvik and DJ Spooky to the second single of my favourite band of the moment.
Older Lover - Demon Seed – Optimo Music Noirish trippy DIY stuff from Douglas Morland – Glasgow’s undisputed King of Twang.
Monsoon – Wings of Dawn Prem Kavita Anglo Hindi Extension (Cloud Edits / Dissident Promo Only ) – Disco/Rock/Indian fusion made useful by an “unknown” editor.
Tyrell Corporation – Together Alone Clone West Coast A bit of a departure for Tyrell here. Close to minimal synth/wave sound of early 80’s but with a rocky influence, real sounding drums and live bass. Awesome start for Clone West Coast.
Diskjokke – The Bund – Moshi Moshi Singles Whoozy slow motion space-disco track on B-side of this nice little 7”.
Q & A – Tubling Cubes – DFA Initially known as Expanding Head Band, their first single for DFA. More than a nod to Detroit and some Carl Craig tricks but with their own touches make a very special record.
