Dj Koze - Pick Up

Propably new hit of summer 2018. Thus “Pick Up”: the second single from knock knock is 100% pure groove, doubly so in the extended 12” version. In a sense it's incredibly familiar – it is essentially a filter disco record, very close to something you could imagine coming out of Paris around the turn of the millennium. But of course, this is Koze. Nothing is normal or familiar in his world, and he's taken this most foundational of clubland staples into new territory. Flipping samples of Gladys Knight & the Pips “Neither One Of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)” and Melba Moore’s “Pick Me Up, I’ll Dance“, it creates something completely airborne, shot through with emotions such as gods must feel: not quite explicable to the human mind but strong enough to knock you off your feet. In its way it's absolutely as powerful as “Seeing Aliens”, but it comes in like the proverbial iron fist in a glove of velvet.

Dungen - Franks Kaktus

Mind blowing music video by Dungeon from the album Allas Sak. Director: Jenny Palén. Gustav Ejstes introduces this molten instrumental track with a breathy psych-flute fanfare, then drummer Johan Holmegard establishes the groove with a stuttering drumbeat and Reine Fisk takes over with one of the most eloquent and exultant guitar solos ever to grace a Dungen album. More Alain Goraguer than Jethro Tull, this linear jam shows what the band does best: They transform the ordinary into the otherworldly, the familiar into the fantastical.

GoGo Penguin - Hopopono

Signed to Gondwana Records, GoGo Penguin's skittering break-beats, telepathic interplay and a penchant for anthemic melody all contribute to a sound that's wholly their own. Pianist Chris Illingworth's yearning classical influenced melodies are filtered through the dance music energy of bassist Nick Blacka and drummer Rob Turner. But there is no leader, no global set of rules. Each member receives inspiration, ideas and information from each other. Their instrumentation might be the archetypal piano trio but while the melodic, harmonic and structural ideas are influenced by both classical and jazz the rhythms are drawn from left field electronica and it's this meeting of opposites that makes their unique acoustic-electronica sound so exciting and creates such an interesting and emotionally rich palate for the listener.
