This Wondercast celebrates the death of the geocentric model, our departure from anthropocentrism. It celebrates all forms of life, humility, and respect. It rejects of nationalism and borders, and discourages misunderstanding of others. It celebrates our ability to travel around, and meet different folks. Last but not least, it is celebration of the freedom we have to listen to music from nearly every corner of the inhabitable Earth, and to feel it it as if it was coming from a neighbor’s window. We are all neighbors, and brothers and sisters, and this mix celebrates that wonderful fact.
Ikue and Olive sprinkled with mbira gives way to some fruits of Laswell down in Cuba, bolstered with a trojan guitar skank loop. Every click matters. Defragmentation, /Rupture’ed., Jelinektronic forest funk, stopped by Billy, Ikue, and Olive. Brown Bag, Lunchbox! A minimal techno sandwich from Perth, Córdoba, and Zurich. Mutate, Mutek…then right back to Brooklyn. ‘Back to Cuba?’ Dave Aju asks. It’s A Story With A Touch, for sure. Midnight poppies lead to more Defragmentation. Arto’s Complicity, remixed, and plopped on Skull Disco mixed with John Lurie’s haunting horn. Back for a World Trance. Across the pond again to Switzerland via Storlon, and Germany via Berk. Where Do You Run To? Sub Dub! Nico Dubliners, Thoughts Like Rain. NY, Zorn.

Unshow

Tomorrow (saturday) night from 11-12midnight I’ll be DJ’ing on Brown University Radio, playing a set of unique, quirky-woozy-thumpy-funky-fresh electronic music from mainly the unfoundsound/Foundsound crew , via Berlin, Philly, Argentina, The Canary Islands, Japan, and Baltimore. Streaming at www.bsrlive.com, or listenable in the Providence area on 88.1 FM.

Aesthetically, it sounds like music that steelyard/scrap metal sculpture-people would dance to, if they could dance.

Philly Time!



From unfoundsound:
being that foundsound and unfoundsound were launched and nurtured in philadelphia, it’s only appropriate that we give you a new chapter to our “location series” – a compilation of tracks from philly artists entitled philly time! you get a whopping 13 tracks (woohoo!) illustrating the vast diversity that philly artists have to offer. the list of artists ranges from veterans to newcomers. you get deep and lush atmospheric bliss fromscuba (a.k.a. king britt), tweaked-out tech-house insanity from nigel richards, danceable field recording brilliance from unfoundsound’s ownfidget and tleilaxu, harsh and abrasive tech-core from duran duran duran, grime-ish dirty dub from starkey, fun-filled idm-ish tech-house from kilowatts, plus everlasting goodness from pink skull, accidentallyand city rain. you also get some dope remixes! two tracks frommiskate’s zuni ep (foundsound-03) are fiercely reworked by diss0nanceand robmall. plus, jamie morris transforms “goofball” (unfound-01) bysomeone else into a minimal loop-techno gem. yes, indeed. philly will always be home.

Goofball EP





download
Nope, not another beatless album. A timely up as this dude is playing in Cambridge, MA on Wednesday. This EP is the first release from unfoundsound, and it's mad goofy. I like the 1st and last tracks and hope you do as well.

from unfoundsound: unfound01 is an in-house release, with two members of the (un)foundsound crew in action: three tracks by someone else, aka sean o'neal, and a remix by fusiphorm, aka cyhl. the three original pieces come in someone else's now characteristic style, which have seen him release on labels like musik krause, tuning spork, remains, microcosm and of course foundsound: minimal quirkiness, with groovy basslines and a subtle use of field recordings, always with an eye directed at the dancefloor. the title track is revisited by fusiphorm for his production debut, in a remix that deliberately adds an even housier sensibility to the original goofyness.

DJ Lab

download
I've always been partial to music that is either funky or sneaky. When both are accomplished in the same song, it's a rare treat. Case in point with his 2nd track, Spookers Dub. Fun!

from www.31337records.com:
We are proud to present you our latest release from DJ Lab one of Copenhagens top DJ’s!- Because of the great competitiveness in his city, Anders Brøndum aka DJ Lab has built a high standard of quality for his sets and prooves technical skills in his own productions which he already put out on labels such as echocord or tic tac toe.

Lab’s style took off as straight up banging minimalism but has developed considerably over the years. Today, his arsenal ranges from Detroit techno over trancey Cologne’ism to minimal house and Dub. As long as it’s quality, it’s playable.

From 1998-2000 he was a regular name in the Roskilde Festival lineup – playing for thousands and thousands of ravers at one of Europe’s largest music festivals.

By 2000 his credentials had brought him a monthly residence on the National Radio of Denmark. From 2004 and onwards, he’s upheld a residence at Copenhagen’s largest club, Vega – and since its opening in January 2005, internationally respected electronic club Culture Box has put Lab on the lineup numerous times.

The 30 something ep is packed with 3 beautiful Dub tracks starting off with “Libra” which was the favorite track of all of us including sean o’neil (someone else) on this ep, followed by “Spookers Dub” which is indeed a little spooky, but really unique and funky. The last track called “third shift” is very hypnotic and is more club oriented than the other tracks. all in all a great ep for everyone who is into minimal and dub!

whatwhat?


download

unfoundsound presents a six-track masterpiece courtesy of brooklyn's david last -- featuring three original numbers, plus three remixes by so inagawa (of the suffragettes), ditch and suz. on the whatwhat? ep, david last demonstrates his diverse music-making dexterity and crystal-clean production skills. the ep commences with "animal hybrids" -- a quirky, snippy dancefloor killer fueled by snarling found sounds and snappy percussion that all minimal techno djs can appreciate. then on "where it falls", david last slows the bpm down to a chugging crawl -- yielding a groovy, slow-paced dub tune meticulously doused with blips, bleeps and heady reverbs (somewhat reminiscent of monolake). this is followed by "sporty ankles" -- a minimal masterwork that moves gently with broken beats, pretty vocal stabs, snippy percussion, drenching reverbs and a dubby undertone. then so inagawa reworks "where it falls" into a deep, sample-heavy minimal ass-shaker soaked with goofy found sounds and reverb-drenched timbres. then ditch offers an upbeat remix of "sporty ankles" -- a driving crowd-pleaser with a hard-hitting beat, gritty melodies and funny sound-sculpting. and last but not least, suz offers another version of "where it falls" -- a sexy and heady minimal house ditty doused with chopped up vocal snippets, a rumbling bassline, grainy textures and shuffly percussion. oh yeah! another whoppin' ep!
