The Emperor Machine Live

Petrol 29/11 from Sander Verheyen on Vimeo.

Being a fan of all things DC Recordings, as well as a long time fan of the defunckt Vinyl Solution Records, I thought I'd post this. As DC say in their email newsltter, The Emperor Machine have had a good year with the birth of their new Live show and you can see an interview with Andy Meecham and some footage from a recent gig they did in Russia here: LINK
. There is also some footage from a show they did with The Oscillation in Antwerp which is the video at the top. Short but sweet, some nice warblings going on and a sign that the label has built up a fine roster of cosmic magicians. It's taken time for DC recordings to become what it really wanted to be, but you can see the logical progression from the heavy beats and bass, acid wash and electro monsters that came out in the late nineties and early naughties.

2008 Cyon bboy championship final Rivers vs. JinJo crew

Nothing too odd about a B Boy final from South Asia, granted the breaking is top notch and certainly gives many nods to the styles of the 80s. What I like about this clip is that Can come in halfway through the session and it really works. Breaking to Krautrock? Could be be and you heard it here first.

GURU GURU - Discography (1970 - 73)

Guru Guru are kings of the free rock sound. This is what the MC5 and other hairies would have sounded like without the restrains of a strict record company. Their sound is a sludgy meandering groovefest that is interuppted by shortwave and primordial grunts. Guru Guru was both related to the free jazz music scene and both worked with Swiss female pianist Irène Schweizer. Neumeier already won several Jazz-prizes.Frontman Mani Neumeier (drummer and singer) has an original style of playing drums, and is known in the European jazz rock-scene. He was also involved in numerous other projects, as Tiere der Nacht, The Psychedelic Monsterjam, Damo Suzuki's Network, Globe Unity Orchestra, Harmonia, Acid Mothers Guru Guru, Voodootrance & Lover 303.

Holy Fuck - in Session

Is Clint Boon the new Tony Wilson? Let's hope so, I love the half dozen kids stood around feeling slightly awkward whilst Holy Fuck do their stuff. Boon's interview mid session is a classic, especially about getting 'turned on', I can believe it!
