Sach O: Emalkay – Eclipse

Sach O was pleasantly surprised by this one. I don’t know what I hate more: lazy, uninspired hard-Dubstep or lazy, uninspired music journos complaining about hard Dubstep. The former is unlistenable and has single-handedly given the genre a bad rap while the later has resulted in some of the worst stylistic discrimination in music writing… Continue reading »

Douglas Martin’s Dirty Shoes: Psychedelic Horseshit Gets Laced (and Ambitious)

Douglas Martin keeps ‘em laced in the illa snakes. Psychedelic Horseshit’s name is instantly recognizable among the lo-fi horde, but for all the wrong reasons. Psychedelic Horseshit jokingly created the rather abhorrent term “shitgaze,” one used to describe scuzzy-as-fuck-but-otherwise-great bands like Times New Viking and Eat Skull. Psychedelic Horseshit is far more famous for this… Continue reading »

Video: Belle & Sebastian- “Come On Sister”

Featuring a forklift, ice cream trucks, tighty whites, talk shows, beards, beef, pyramid schemes, playing cards for candy, dentures, butchers, fangs, and Stuart Murdoch in construction regalia. Another gray day in Glasgow. B&S drop the next single from last year’s inconspicuously excellent Belle & Sebastian Write About Love.

Sach O: Nina Simone – Strange Fruit (inertia Remix)

Sach O once tried durian. It’s raining cats, dogs and other assorted animals in Montreal today which means I’m staying home, nursing a hangover, listening to The Wailers and Lee Perry’s African Herbsman and pondering the path Reggae might have taken had Bob Marley not become a rock star. I’m also enjoying this ultra-deep Nina… Continue reading »

Summer Jamz – Son Raw Live @ Bassdrive

Son Raw is Sach O for those who don’t know. Summer Jamz is an ever-changing experience for me. When I dropped my first mix in the series way back in 2008, I was traveling the South-Asian seas and decided to send something in a whim because I hadn’t done any music writing in 6 months.… Continue reading »

Daylight and Third Earth: Thundercat Steps Out

More information is slowly trickling out about the Thundercat album.  We already knew it was next big-ticket Brainfeeder release after the Samiyam record, but now they’ve announced the tracklist: Badu, J* Davey, Sa-Ra, Austin Peralta, an Indian headdress possessed with the soul of Alice Coltrane. Not bad. Not bad at all. Nor is “Daylight,” the… Continue reading »

ST 2 Lettaz and Block Beattaz Kiss the Sky

Evan Nabavian once kissed a girl named Skylar (no Grey). The city of Huntsville, Alabama has deviated from larger Southern rap trends with very clean, futuristic beats from producers like Block Beattaz and Bossman. G-Side, the city’s premier duo, has earned pockets of fans far and wide and they wear their stamped up passports on… Continue reading »

Sach O: More Mutant Bass

Sach O hasn’t been to a warehouse jam in a minute. I’ll continue to ride for Mutant Bass Records’ free releases as long as they keep-free releasing them. 130 One-shmirthy*: crank those BPMS up, throw on some air horns and rave divas and let’s take it back to the warehouse days. The pick of the… Continue reading »

Beat Traps: Analogue Monsta’s Ball

Chris Daly will DJ your after-after-after-party is you provide him with Speed. He’s a big early Sandra Bullock fan. If you’ve been fortunate enough to catch the Analogue Monsta tour and weren’t too stoned to forget, you quite possibly picked up the aptly named “Analogue Monsta Mix,” a little over an hour of music by… Continue reading »
