Swinging a giant unwieldy pendulum of taste wildly, from the reverent to the irreverent and back.

Representing reverence - BSS/DMST member and serial hugger (I believe a career highlight for him was hugging Dave during a BSS gig) Charles Spearin has released the wonderfully thoughtful “Happiness Project” which will appeal to fans of The Books; new Mum courtesy of Morr Music, contemplative as ever; the deepest of deep 10-minute workouts from Morgan Geist, remixing Whitest Boy Alive; and the classic and haunting closer from Grizzly Bear’s last record ‘Yellow House’.

Representing irreverence - Downtown labelmates Major Lazer and Miike Snow both taking some severe liberties with vocal takes (did I mention that ‘Pon de Floor’ is perhaps the most brain-staggering sound to have come out of my speakers recently?); Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs landing out of nowhere on the Grecoroman label, with ridiculous rave-pop completely appropriate for the stoopid name; The Natural Yogurt Band showing that its still not too late to be producing new old library funk sounds; and towards the end, Dave and I hinted at some kind of convergence we are both making presently on some kind of new digital funk experience. Dam Funk and Bastian jam the joints; I have a vision of Prince and George Clinton revolted but aroused, spewing technicolor rainbow erections from rotating laughing clown heads.

Too real?

Tune in next week for Dave flying solo while I celebrate my birthday in a monkey suit. I’m turning 12, again.

We’re taking the Queen’s Birthday weekend off, so you won’t hear us on Sunday - but do tune in, because instead you’ll hear Guy Blackman & Ben O’Connor ably filling our shoes. We are extremely excited about it. 8-10pm on Sunday.

Next week - Sunday June 14 - we’ll be joined in the studio by local electronic experimentalist Kharkov, aka John Bartley. John’s recently taken his lo-fi ambient soundscapes and locked them into a proto-techno groove, resulting in a remarkable new double A-side 7″ that has recently been released on Brothersister Records. He joins us for a chat, and an in-studio live performance.

KHARKOV: MySpace
Read Matt Levinson’s interview with Kharkov here at Cyclic Defrost.

In the meantime, you can catch me (Tim) next week on 3RRR filling in for Sam Pang on Breakfasters. That’s next Tuesday to Friday. Tune in Tuesday morning for bonus Dave!

Us was joined tonight by multi-faceted, hard-working DJ and producer Lewis Cancut, who came to our attention through Melbourne’s premier blog/record label/artist collective Scatterblog - is there anything they can’t do? Lewis was good enough to bring us in a mix, play us some tracks, and just chat about the world and stuff.

In other guest news, we played another track from Kharkov’s amazing new 7″, and we’re hoping to have him on the show in a couple of weeks - he’s techno amazing on white vinyl.

Also on the show, we got to another bit of the ill-starred Dark Night of the Soul Sparklehorse + Danger Mouse collabo, tracks from great new releases on One Handed, Eskimo and Permanent Vacation, as well as some cuts from the Sun Ra tribute Adventures on the Sun: The Music of Sun Ra, featuring many members of the (argh) Beat Generation.

This show was lots of fun, hope you enjoy it. Kuroma is an artist signed to a record label run by Mountain Dew, yes, Mountain Dew - the remix from El Guincho takes his troptronica into pleasantly high fidelity. Herb Alpert’s late-70s disco record gets re-issued along with a bunch of dodgy remixes, amongst them an absolute gem. The XTC side project Dukes of Stratosphear is tickling Dave’s fancy at the moment along with the afropop of Congo’s “first true pop star” of the 70s, Franco. Also in there - electroacoustic Londoner Brassica trades in the tinkles for some ball-tearing nu disco; Kompakt’s romantic microlooper The Field becomes the newest to turn in a version of The Korgis‘ melancholic pop masterpiece “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime”; and a Kanye-produced Lil Wayne track shows us how to let the beat build, bitch.

A big holler to Istanbul, to one of our favourite blogs Undomondo that gave us a shout out recently! If you like it eclectic, check out Undomondo for a new perspective - lots of great jazz, electronica & beats type of stuff, as well as the odd bit of Turkish psych stuff. Much recommended, the original and the best.

Tim’s back from New Zealand, so we get defiantly international - so we go to the hazy 70s via Egypt, to the arcane mathematics of Cheops via Far North Queensland, and to the arcane mathematics of Destiny’s Child via Darwin and Osaka. Also music from the frontiers of Finland… Bulgaria… uh, Texas… Melbourne, of course… Chile via Germany courtesy of Senor Coconut who is being paid tribute this Thursday night at an all-Coconut all-the-time DJ night down at Horse Bazaar in Melbourne. And we filled the gaps with, you know, the usual New York type shit.

Five weeks and counting in our new timeslot! Super thanks to Richard Moffat and Michael Kucyk (our RRR bookends, and we say that with the utmost respect and affection) for making us feel at home on Sunday nights!
