In Me Ears 18: Elijah and Skiliam.

Posted by Jamesr on February 10, 2010 · Leave a Comment

photo credit: 2create Elijah and Skiliam are a pair of grime DJ’s with a show on Rinse FM. At the start of the year a mix with the simple title of 2010 surfaced over on Blackdown. It really caught my ears, and sent me off on a bit of a spree rooting around for the sort of material they showcase in it. It also rammed home to me the sheer resource that online radio stations really represent if you want to discover new music. Their blog-cum-label Butterz has a slew... Read More

In Me Ears 13: Taliesin

Posted by Jamesr on June 7, 2008 · 3 Comments

photo credit: Fernando I’m really enjoying the fact that people have started emailling me of late looking to have their mixes rammed up the arsehole of Soundtracksforthem, all for some quick and tasty ear baked ingestion. So here’s another one. Wait until the unsettling echo of the Original Nutta vocal re-fix settles down in the back of your ear here. Anyway, its by a dude called Taliesin, and really he a roll some bass up so fat he just blow-yER-MIND, you understand... Read More

In Me Ears 11: Chymera

Posted by Jamesr on April 10, 2008 · 2 Comments

The Man In Barcelona A few years ago I interviewed the Dublin based producer Chymera for a college based newspaper, he’d just supported Miss Kitten in that barren old box for the musical soul, the then TBMC. The paper never used the article I submitted, and while the perfectionist in Chymera thinks the album he touted at the time Everyone Dies…Even Horses is sonically flawed, it’s still a masterful release of downbeat electronica to soothe your ears. Did... Read More

In Me Ears 10: Proximal

Posted by Jamesr on March 28, 2008 · 12 Comments

Who is Proximal? Proximal is a Dj who isn’t scared to take a risk and put his balls on the line as a Dj. I’ve been Dj’ing in Atlanta for eight years now. I started playing at raves when I was sixteen, mixing seemed to be second nature for me, and taking chances in order to turn heads seemed to be something I was exceptional at. From the rave scene sprouted my interests in the experimental scene and now in the “post-rave” scene. Read More Read More

The Child of Prague Stares At The Workers.

Interview With Alex Foti: Mayday Had Become A Funeral.

photo credit: cinocino In a special themed issue of Green Pepper, Foti and the Chain Workers Collective sketched a very attractive understanding of the work discipline of contemporary capitalism. In their understanding, society had found itself in a situation of profound disjuncture with our working pasts – life today was defined by contingent employment rather [...]

Don’t Mention Art Rock.

Photo is copyrighted to Lindsay Foley Sometimes a piece of art can represent more than just itself. Through how it intertwines with what’s around it, it can take on new meanings. You might be able to say the same of Estel. One of the photo sliders on their Myspace sails through a montage of gig [...]
