Best of 2011

These are my favourites of 2011. It’s not an authorative comment on the year in music – it’s just what I liked as I trawled 100s of sites and previewed 100s of tracks looking for cool new stuff to play in various DJ sets and material for upcoming compilations. Hopefully you’ll discover something easily missed.

There is a section on the albums I tried that I didn’t like (or don’t like yet). It’s there to mute the ‘What happened to the Decemberists and Radiohead?’ comments.

Lastly there is a long list of songs. I rarely listen to full albums anymore. Most of my listening takes place in the car with the iPod on shuffle through the RECENTLY ADDED playlist.

I have not looked at any of the popular year end lists while compiling this. Now to see what I’ve missed out or treated unfairly…

Albums of 2011

 

Mogwai – Hardcore will never die but you will

Not since ‘Happy songs for Happy People’ with the smashing ‘Hunted by a freak’ have I been this drawn into a Mogwai album…and only 1 track over 20 minutes.

 

Eyes Like Mirrors – Crusades

SA’s own ‘Explosions in the sky’. Must see them live to fully appreciate

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/view/145394/

 

Fleet Foxes – Helplessness blues

More upper register folky Americana.

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/view/147658/

 

Washed Out – Within & without

I found out recently that this falls into the ‘chillwave’ genre. Really…I suppose it is chilled and kinda ‘new wave-ish’

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/view/151793/

 

Low – C’mon

A return to form for one of my all-time favourite Mormon bands. Jokes aside – they play it slow and sad.

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/view/147659/

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/11749220/C%27mon/

 

M83 – Hurry up, were dreaming

Featuring the synth heavy indie/dance floor filler ‘Midnight city’. There are some surprisingly dark moody soundtrack-like tracks on the album like ‘Where the boats go’ and ‘Another wave from you’ that remind me of Thomas Newman’s soundtrack work (Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, Nemo)

 

Vampire9000

Pretoria experimental and expansive lo-fi indie electronica pointing vaguely in the Postal Service direction. Download the 3 track EP below

http://vampire9000.bandcamp.com/

 

The Weeknd – House of balloons

Not big on new soul/R&B but there is something very organic, indie and understated about this album. Album is self-released via Bandcamp.com

 

Go Team – Rolling Blackouts

Sample heavy funk, noise-pop with some shouty 60s girl group wall of sound sensibilities. Their best yet. Features members of Deerhoof and Best Coast as guests.

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/view/146218/

 

Austra – Feel it break

In a similar vein to Chelsea Wolfe and Zola Jesus but more electronic. The term ‘electro-goth’ sums it up neatly.

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/view/151776/

 

The Black Keys – El Camino

Firm indie favourites can do no wrong. Blues riff heavy with white boy soul.

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/13269603/El+Camino/

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/view/251924/

 

Chelsea Wolfe – Apokalypsis

Goth like apocalyptic lo-fi folk with mild electronics. Dark and pretty

 

Warpaint – Fool (Deluxe)

Originally out in 2010, this new edition includes an early EP. It’s taken some time but this album is grower. Look to tracks ‘Undertow’ and ’Billie Holiday’ for proof. Toured with the XX

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/12767728/The+Fool+%28Deluxe%29/

 

Dum Dum Girls – Only in dreams

Go-Go’s with JAMC as the house band.

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/12763047/Only+In+Dreams/

 

Honourable album mentions

Black Hotels – Honey badger

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/11679120/Honey+Badger/

Shadowclub – Guns and money

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/12038784/Guns+And+Money/

Atlas Sounds - Parallax

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/view/253865/

Joy Formidable – Big roar

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/12008031/The+Big+Roar/

Javelin – Canyon Candy (Country & Western/Morricone inspired glitch/sample/easy listening)

 

Off my Christmas list…:

Bon Iver – Bon Iver

More of the same for me really, but everyone else seems to love it!

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/12038760/Bon+Iver/

Decemberists – King is dead

‘This is why we fight’ is an ok track. Never been a major fan but do try with every album.

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/10715652/The+King+Is+Dead/

British Sea Power – Valhalla dancehall

I try every album but they never stick.

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/10611250/Valhalla+Dancehall/

Florence + the Machine – Ceremonials

More produced and commercial than quirky debut LUNGS.

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/12998351/Ceremonials+%28Deluxe+Edition%29/

James Blake

Big internet hype but just didn’t turn my knobs.

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/12786968/James+Blake/

PJ Harvey – Let England shake

2011 Mercury prize winner. A critics album if ever there was one

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/10809553/Let+England+Shake/

Horrors – Skying

Been moving further away with each album since their brilliant debut STRANGE HOUSE

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/mp3/album/12212739/Skying/

Radiohead – King of limbs

Indie favourites but I just don’t get the last few albums or this one

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/view/146626/

 

2011’s Load of rubbish:

Final fling for 2011 before JHB empies into the sea

Catch our final 2011 party on Sat 10 December from 9pm at KITCHENERS cnr Juta & De Beer strs in Braamfontein.

Our 2nd Birthday bash in November with its name & minor format change went down really well. We had our busiest night in our two year history...so busy
that they had to stop people from coming in at one point!

I'm busy editing 3 hours worth of mixes we recorded at the last old REFORM! party in October. I only realised a few days ago that
I left the flash disc in the mixer on record on the night. There are two of my sets and one of Charles. The cool thing is that it's straight out of the
desk so it's excatly what we played, when we played it. I edit out the start and end tracks that are incomplete, split the mix into three and save the files
into a smaller MP3s so they are a bit more managable (it's almost 2 Gigs in its raw .WAV state)
I'll post to MIXCLOUD tomorrow and make the links available here.

A few months ago Charles migrated to his M-AUDIO DJ set-up on the mac with a controller. It's been going well. I've stubbornly stuck to the ol CDJ workhorses
and my trusted DJ bag and orginal CDs.
Last week I purchased an app for the iPad (and special splitter cable) that I'm seriously considering trying out in a live enviroment this Saturday.
It's pretty much a touch screen DJ set-up and works on the two turntable principle. The feel of it is amazing! I was mixing and using the effects
immediatley. It does all the things a pair of regular SL1200s can do right down to the power off effect but with so much more...
My only reservation is choosing songs from a library rather than trawling through CDs. My DJ bag is carefully catalogued and arranged. This sort
of organisation is not possible in the iPad library. One can, however, sort by artist or song (or just search...) I'm also pretty particular about
my file quality and always import or purchase at the highest bit rate available, so at least sound quality won't be compromised.

I can't imagine pitching up to a DJ gig with an iPad, cable and a pair of headphones...it certianly beats my early days of a record box and two milk crates of CDs all
on the back of motorbike with those stretchy cable things and a bunch of black bags as back-up in case of rain.

The final REFORM! party

Not the actual final final really final REFORM! party but the just the last in it's current format
*recited in pitched voice way too quick for ear to pick up like in them dodgy ads*

There are changes ahead for REFORM!
With our 2nd birthday coming up on Saturday the 12th November coupled with our new monthly week-end slot,
we decided on a bit of a facelift both visually and musically.
We'll never stray far from our roots but will incorporate a whole bunch of new music to cater for the busy and late partying
week-end crowd. More on that later...but the two tracks below will give you an inkling. Quirky indie of CULTS vs. FLIRTATIONS northern soul stomper

September! Dynamite-Disco All-Stars

Saturday 24th September sees another HIGH FIVE RECORDS & Broaden a new sound themed party.
I love these parties - from preparing the set to the night - they're always fun to play.

The line-up:

Matt Sutner
Corvair
Sassquatch
Data Takashi
Marc Latilla

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=164847570264274

While I'm not a fan of garden variety compilation D-I-S-C-O, I appreciate that the genre broadly formed the basis for much
of todays dance music. There is this great book called LAST NIGHT A DJ SAVED MY LIFE which offers
a pretty exhaustive history of disco and it's pioneering artists and DJs. It gave me plenty of tunes to track down and I've
found some really interesting oddities and surprises. What is fascinating is how much of the orginal disco has been sampled,
lifted or downright stolen - not just in the last 20 years but even within a couple of years of releases back in the 70s and early 80s.

This is for me is the basis of a set - playing the original versions which will sound familiar to many without hauling out DANCING QUEEN et al
and mixing it up with some disco inspired newer stuff.

Check out as an example Carol Williams - Love is you from 1977 which is better known as Groove Jet by Spiller from 1999. Nice but
to LOVE BOAT for me.

This GRUM remix of Everything Everything's MY KZ, YR BF covers disco inspired newer stuff.

As for rest, you'll have to come on Saturday! If the regular mixer is there I'll attempt to record the set on the night for a post.

Cover versions DJ set Sat 10 September 2011

An unusual DJ set coming up this Saturday (10th Sep 2011) in that it will be made up entirely of cover versions.
Not just any old covers...but specifically current indie/rock covers of mostly 80s tunes.

I guess indie/rock 80s tunes that were themselves covers also count (I'm thinking TAINTED LOVE, SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO or
I WANT CANDY) although these are so entrenched I could play the originals and most people would think they were the covers...like one of
my REFORM! favourites HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE.

This party is put together by the ROCKFORD folks and features the newly christened BATTLESHIP DJS (read their manifesto here:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Battleship-DJs/106736979432820?sk=info), DJ BLACK TO THE FUTURE and AMPIE OMO.
Ampie played played trombone for FUZIGISH (I think??) and also backed VIOLENT FEMMES when they played SA some years ago. He
currently plays in BOO!

The party is at KITCHENERS CARVERY cnr Juta & De Beer str in Braamfontein. Doors open at 9pm with a R30 cover. Here is the FB event:

Kick out the report back

Sadly no desk mix due to me forgetting the USB due partly to the rush of putting together a quick intro.

Who out of the 5 DJs playing would get to play KICK OUT THE JAMS? I thought I'd leave it to one of the others and instead

start with an intro using the classic MC5 intro. I tacked it onto David Peel & the Lower East Side's - Up against the wall

and time-stretched the ending. It's the MOTHERFUCKER intro below.

 

I also got to play two of my current favourites to a mostly packed room being the Seance on a Wet Aternoon and Crystal Stilts

which can be listened to below.

 

My Surfin Bird re-edit also got another spin. I nicked the intro from an All Leather mixtape and then extended a few sections of

the original to allow some live effects fiddling and added some reverb to the break.

High Five Records presents another chapter in it's unique genre defining indie parties.

The brief: 60s & 70s Garage rocknroll, its early incarnations, its protagonists and its influences on from the 80s to date.

Expect (from my side anyhow) STOOGES, RAMONES, YEAH YEAH YEAHS, WILD EYES, LINK WRAY, THE WHO, SEX PISTOLS, STROKES, TRASHMEN, UNDERTONES, TEST ICICLES, WHITE STRIPES & TV ON THE RADIO and I've not even got to A-P yet...

I'll be joined by KRNGY DJS (Sticky Antler folks), the legendary SASSQUATCH & PLAAT JAPIE and the wildcard PROFESSOR MYSTERY.

Cover is R20 on Sat 2 July at Kitchener's Carvery in Braamfontein cnr Juta & De Beer str from 9pm.

REFORM! in May

After our multiple HANSA quart drinking Worker's Day excursion into Vosloorus we're back

at our home base of Kitchener's for our regular monthly dose of REFORM! 

 

Thu 12 May

Kitchener's Carvery

Cnr De Beer & Juta str Braamfontein

9pm

R20 cover

With Marc Latilla & Charles Leonard playing 50s-80s soul/funk/raregroove/radiopop/reggae/girlgroups/townshipswing

 

Our cover price has increased to R20 due to additional security costs. Our previous R10 fee was way too low anyway!

 

Funny, I remember the first proper club I ever went to on New Years Eve 86/87 had a cover of R14. As it wasn't licensed, all

drinks were free. You only paid for your mix which was 50c. If you drank beer or straight whiskey all night you paid nothing!

Sure, it was watered down rotgut, but you could drink as much as you wanted.

The club was called HEAVEN in Marshall street (later became what is fondly referred to as the old DOORS). Technically though, I'd been to one club before Heaven called BOOBS DISCO in Hillbrow. I was 12 (I know, I know...long story. I was tall for my age though) and a bunch of us hitched there from Kensington drinking BLAU and tequila on the way. It was a Sunday night and we got in with comps. The music was utter rubbish! I think we sat in a dark corner for half an hour and decided to hang around Hillbrow instead before walking back to Kensington and passing out. I may have gone to Plumb Crazy in town before Heaven but I'm not sure. It was another Sunday night and we got to see e'Void and the Working Girls live. It was literally just the three of us there. The bands played as though it was a full house.

 

Another thing on prices: In Vosloorus last week we paid R13 for a quart (750ml bottle). The going rate for a regular beer (340ml) is around R16-R18 in greater JHB & Sandton (sometimes even more if you hit the real upmarket clubs)

 

We had so much fun that we're working on another trip to Vosloorus in the future

(it's a township on the East Rand) and should have some advance warning

next time around so we can get a bit of a crew together.

 

Here's a track by e'Void. They were an african inspired pop/rock band from Johannesburg in the 80s and were quite popular. It was the height of apartheid so SA was cut-off via sanctions from the rest of the world and the cool 'white' music of that time was inspired by a small local scene that was inspired by hard to come by imported music from UK and US and numerous generation mix tapes. If ever there was a white band that embraced african music and filtered it into their sound it was them (and Johnny Clegg - but that was our parents music and a bit naff) 'Shadows' was one of their big hits from around 1984-1985 and is mildly nostalgic today. The album it came off was recorded in 1983.

Promo mix for REFORM! party on Thu 14 April 2011. We have a very loose 20 year rule at REFORM! where we generally play nothing after 82ish. If the year was 2031 and we applied the same rule, this is what we'd be playing!

INDIEBLEEP edit from 5FM's Ultimix@6 from 4 April 2011

This is the 30 minute edit of the INDIEBLEEP album done for 5FM which was played on the Fresh Drive ULTIMIX@6 on Monday 4 April 2011.
The CD was released in South Africa in November 2010 and can be purchased here:

http://www.lookandlisten.co.za/view/1...

The album was mixed live on a pair of CDJ800s in July 2010. The edit was done in Jan 2011 taking the orginal mix of just over and hour and cutting it down to 30 mins using Sony Soundforge. Most of the editing invloved chopping out verses, choruses and extended bits. There are 3 tracks from the end of the CD missing from the edit: Kele (from Bloc Party), Two Door Cinema Club and San Francisco's Kite in the Air.

April 2011 REFORM! flyer

Promised the next one would be drawn...

 

I have an opportunity to use the mac and learn how to use a proper program, but I'm having such fun mesing around with PAINT I think I'll wait until I need to something it can't do.

 

Here I wanted to try a comic feel and found this really cool picture taken in some Capetown nightclub in the 60s by Billy Monk (Mahala ran a story about him). I did a rough trace, inked and scanned it and then filled in the colour.

It worked so well, I'm going to try and draw my own short comic strip in the same style. My comic script BOY WITH THE FILTERS is currently being drawn by Chris Moon, Ben Raush and Anja Venter. I'm going to add in another dream sequence and try and draw it myself.

 

Look out for the 20 YEAR RULE mix coming closer to the party. It's REFORM style but current.

We generally play nothing after 1983 so this is just a way to have a some fun. In 2031 we would technically be playing music up to 2011.

 

Notice that charles has hair and special X-Ray glasses. We both have smooth skin and I still can't dance (or dress)

if we can co-ordinate with KING OF TOWN who is in the UK and doing some really cool remixes - just downloaded his Detachments 'Circles' mix from eMusic )

 

The 1st Electric Affair was in October 2008 at Sunningdales Hotel  (See attached flyer) and was great night. The 2nd party was planned for March 2009 but the venue closed down on us a week before the party.

 

We almost had it in Oct 2010 but it started getting too complicated to pull off.

 

Here is link to listen to the Electric Affair promo mix I did for the Fresh Drive on 5FM
