Lloyd Miller and The Heliocentrics – OST

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

I like that The Heliocentrics are now becoming the go-to band for cult jazz revivalism. After the successful collaboration with Mulatu, Strut and Now-Again are pairing the band with obscure exotic jazz hero Lloyd Miller. The album will be called OST, and what’s been released from it so far sounds like the right combination of cool and weird (the two songs are below). You can read more about this on the Strut website.

DJ Pain and King Megatrip – “The Soothing System”

Friday, April 16th, 2010

After you listen to this several hundred times, get your whirlwind weekend completed with this wily mix. I’ll warn you ahead of time that it does feature an extremely minimal amount of spoken word (one tiny section), but it is handled precisely.
