K-X-P 18 Hours (Of Love) from Koja on Vimeo.

I tried to upload a video of mine, but unfortunately Blogger have an upload limit of 100MB, bummer. In these "sharing" times, I am disappointed. Even Facebook's limit is 1024MB.
So I thought I'd pop up 18 hours(Of Love) by Helsinki band KXP. I recently purchased their self titled kraut fuelled debut, and I'm loving it. I featured their track Pockets in a recent radio show as well.

A Psychedelic Guide To...

2009-03-03T03:26:00.000-08:00

...Monsterism Island
This turned up at Resonance a couple of weeks back, so I thought I'd play it out on BPM. Welsh Visual Artist, Pete Fowler presents - A Psychedelic Guide to Monsterism Island, the CD contains original compositions from some of the underground's most intrepid explorers, namely Richard Norris, Gruff Rhys, Jerry Dammers, Luke Vibert, Cherrystones etc etc.
The album is out March 16 on Lo Recordings. I thought it rude to pop the whole thing up, so here's a track by Richie Crago.
Richie Crago - Wandering Black Holes
Enjoy!

Dirty Interview in English

2009-01-09T07:32:00.000-08:00

Due to both parties being busy during the Christmas period, here's the Dirty interview with Guillaume Sorge in English as promised. I've also added the show from the 17 Dec if anyone wants to have another listen.

Guillaume is part of Parisian duo, Dirty Sound System who not only djclubs/bars/parties, but they're also an umbrella for the record label DIRTY and the website ALAINFINKIELKRAUTROCK. How and when did it all come about?

we met around ten years ago while working for the same TV company in france, as we shared the same vision on culture and especially music we decided to keep on working together... we released 6 compilations and several vinyl releases since then...

What's the dirty process when it comes to edits? Who sources the
tracks, and how ( ie record shopping)? And who edits? You've just
released Dirty Edits Vol 2 on cd, and it's the last in the series. Is
that it for the edits? Or will you continue the edits under a
different theme?

the sources are various : our own record collections, crate digging, advice from friends... we (dirty sound system) mainly choose the tracks and have them edited by pilooski. we release them when we're happy with the result. we've released around 10 vinyl records and 2 compilations so we feel that it's the right time to stop as we don"t wanna get trapped in any kind of formula. pilooski might keep on releasing edits on other labels... and we're gonna focus on some other projects : discodeine and our new compilation which will be dedicated to french pyschedelic pop from the seventies (out in may).

As well as a wonderfully broad array of re -edits, dirty have recently
started releasing original material, (Discodeine and Photonz). Was
this a natural progression for the label? How do the artists fit the
ethos of dirty? Have you got any new artists to be released on the
label? The new Discodeine comes out in Jan, will there be an album to follow?

we don't have a particular release schedule, we just release music that excites us when we feel like doing it. we work on the third discodeine EP and of course an album... one of our model label is sarah records, for the hand crafted aesthetic (we number most of our vinyl releases by hand)... we release small quantity of records and we never repress. we like the idea to release music for people who care, not only for people who collect zshare files.

In reference to the blog. Why Alain Finkiel?

the name is a silly joke between french thinker alain finkielkraut (french thinker) and the krautrock music style.... we love alain finkielkraut's sense of humour and we love the german repetitive rock scene from the seventies too.

Are the DIRTY SOUND SYSTEM duo coming back to the UK anytime soon? Finally what's been your highlight of the year?

we played UK a lot this year and some of the parties were real highlights (manchester 1 month ago). no future gigs planned at the moment but we'd love to come back!

Dirty Sound System / Dirty Label Feature on Resonance FM

2008-12-12T13:50:00.000-08:00

On Wednesday Dec 17th 8pm (GMT) I'm doing a radio show on the DIRTY Collective on Resonance 104.4FM.
I'll be featuring tracks from the new compilation (pictured above), earlier edits, and the brand new track from Discodeine, and we'll be chatting to label man Guillaume Sorge. The interview will be broadcast in French (thanks to David from Rockfort), but also pasted up here in English along with the show soon after the 17th. I'm looking forward to it as I've admired DIRTY's work for sometime now. Yay! You can buy the new comp here.

A teeny bit exciting...

2008-11-19T07:00:00.000-08:00

....Seeing Ultravox live for the first time.
I've recently moved house so don't have the internet at the moment (thanks to BT, and their bureaucratic ways), so I missed out on all the news about Ultravox reforming. Then while reading the Guardian on Sat I saw a small advertisement on said reunion. I almost had a turn. So I'm armed with tickets for the gig at Hammersmith in April and very much looking forward to it.
I did think a reunion could've perhaps involved both Foxx / Ure. A little too much to ask perhaps.
Here's something from 1982 at Hammersmith.

Also I've got a couple of shows in production for Resonance. One on Jennifer Herrema and her band RTX to be broadcast on Wed 26 November. And one on the website / label Alainfinkelkrautrock which is due to be broadcast On Dec 1. Stay tuned I guess.

A bit of a cheat....

2008-10-24T02:27:00.000-07:00

....this one as it's not "outofboxradio". More, in the studio radio. For those of you that know me, know that I've been getting involved with Resonance FM as an Engineer, and when the powers that be suggested I play some music out for BPM (Blokes Playing Music (apparantely), no voice overs) I jumped at the chance.
Here's the tracklisting,

Grace Jones - Corporate Cannibal - Wall of Sound
Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve - Aglarsa Anam Aglar - 3rd Mynd
The Laughing Light of Plenty - The Rose - Whatever We Want Records
Sun Ra - Interplanetary Music - Evidence Records

Klaus Dinger R.I.P

2008-04-08T06:56:00.000-07:00

I recently learned that Klaus Dinger passed away on March 21 2008. Best known for his motorik drumming style, and forming Krautrock greats Neu!, the band were hugely influential on musicians from Ultravox to Sonic Youth to Fujiya & Miyagi, and I'm sure many more to come.

Here he is in action with La Dusseldorf

The sound quality's a bit iffy but hey, enjoy!
