Plucked from the carcass of this weeks show is a saucy slab from French meatbaker and beatmaker, Fulgeance. There's so many young doods coming up with their own fermentation of 'le wonkee ip-op' that it's getting hard to keep up. Fulgeance, who really came to my attention with his superb remix of DC Recordings artist Kelpe, has definitely got his own funky and frantic flavour, and I've been getting a lot of milage from his Musique Large releases. This little nerdualating noodle of niceness comes from All City's highly recommendable 7" series, that also featured our Parisian ami Onra and many other Akai adventurers with a skip or ten in their step. Have a listen, fall in love with the intro and general wobblyness and then go buy while you still can..That's an order!

And NZ bloggees don't be forgetting this weeks overly-laden live largeness from the Bug, Warrior Queen, Rhythm & Sound and Tikiman..... it's going to be enooooooooormous.

that tune! POISON DART

lots of really bad sounding live vids of Tikiman and R&S on yoohootube, but sod the images and soak up this instead. Those first couple of 10"s sounded frighteningly wicked tonight. Reminded me of when Burnt Friedman would come up to do live sets on Stinky Grooves and Tranquility Bass and we'd just run endless Burial Mix 10"s and related gear for an hour or so after Burnt's own mindblowing singingely supersonic sets.....thems really was the days/daze.

49-30 of 08's finest.... getting serious

And on (and on) it goes. I have long since realised that I bit off more than was easily chewable with this list, but in the words of Magnus Magnusson (the first celebrity Icelander) 'I've started, so I'll finish'! There were plans for doing similar with the album list but I fear that if I went down that road the best of 08 could be running till the end of '09. The hope was to have this all sauteed by the end of Jan but Wellington (and more precisely THE bleedin BUG!!) are calling and I reckon the top 30 should be up here by this time next week, definitely, maybe..... hopefully.


49 The Rope Tightens...But The Bough Breaks - Shackleton (Skull Disco)

See this post. I could have filled this list with Shackleton triumphs of the last year from remixes to original tracks but this dark, dank and deadly track from the 'Soundboy's Suicide Note' EP was a must.

THE ROPE TIGHTENS - SHACKLETON

48 The Mission - Stephen & Damian Marley (Tuff Gong)
Alongside the very similar, and also excellent, 'One Loaf Of Bread' this was a testament to the '..... & Sons' power shift that has been going on in JA music with Bob's nippers smashing it over a rhythm from the Jammy's legacy.

45 Miracles – Mala (Deep Medi)
There is a depth to every track that Mala releases, that guarantees they are always regarded as standalones. After a very quiet year from the DMZ camp this multi-leveled, unfathomably deep gem slipped out at the end of '08 putting everyone on notice.

44. Minimoonstar (Shackleton Rmx) - Ricardo Villalobos (Perlon)
In all honesty it could just as easily have been the blinding original from the Chilean groundbreaker, but Shackleton's mix was another sign of his growing prowess outside the restrictive mores and bpm straightjacket of the dudestep world. Villalobos continues to remind me of the fertile early-mid 90's period when Burnt Friedman/NUF, Porter Ricks, Basic Channel et al drafted new templates for techno tones.

MINIMOONSTAR (SHACKLETON RMX) - RICARDO VILLALOBOS

43. I Heard Wonders (Weatherall Vocal Mix) – David Holmes (Mercury)
There has already been much waxing lyrical about the largesse of the one lone swordsman on this list, but how about Holmes. Getting Alan Vega in for lyric writing is a stroke of genius, singing the songs himself could have gone horribly wrong (yet doesn't) and both the original and remixed version of this are sublime, timeless pieces. The 7" with this mix is still available but one would imagine there aint many left, get to it!!

41. Ghost Note (Mark E Rmx) - Holy Jungle (Golf Channel)
A real, epic standout from the slo-mo shufflers scene amongst so many trifling, and frankly pointless, discoid dirges. This is right up there with Quiet Villagers in the school of not doing too much but doing it exceptionally well, always with a dab hand on the fx box. The mp3 doesn't do the subsonic majesty of this slightly slept-on, 12" justice - the wax is still havailable.

GHOST NOTE (MARK E RMX) - HOLY JUNGLE

40. Township Funk - DJ Mujava (Warp)
Yes, yes this appeared in everyone's top lists, and so it should. That it should end up on Warp is appropriate, as this really does sound like LFO taking a dip in a South African dancehall. The rest of Mujava's tackle (that I've heard) doesn't seem to have the x factor of this gratuitously remixed  and remodelled cut, who cares this is more than enough.

39. F.U.R. - Black Acid (Fitzrovian Phonographic)
Richard Fearless has always been a step out of time, getting lumped in with dubious scenes like big beat (gawd help us) and electroclash (I can barely believe I typed that term) when the reality is he has made consistently engaging and untypical music for many years. In cahoots with members of Coyote, NYMPH and others (I could have sworn there was some A Place To Bury Strangers link but I'm wrong, I think) he has formed some unholy alliance in Black Acid and this gritty r'n'r grind which came in typically stunning artwork  from Fitzrovian Phonographic, is tonal tease that is screaming out for a follow up.

38. Don't Unless - Romain Bno (Les Edits Du Golem)
So many edits this year, so few worthwhile. This fruity six pack of 50's and 60's re-shines was way above average and frankly foolish. Hurrah for that!

37. Done Wid War - Busy Signal (Busy Signal Productions)
Posterations all over the place about Busy here at Stinkinc. This festive little boomshot from the Alliance camp lays on the fromage with a trowel, but what sort of a cold hearted cad couldnt find a place in their heart for this?? You can find his links and whatnot all over this blog like a rash...

35. Code For The Streets – 77 Klash (Klash City)
The man responsible for Turbulance's classic 'Nortorious' and other fine tunes is poised for greatness. Interviewing him (via email) for Real Groove he was a proper gent and  a decidedly smart cookie too. Do smart cookies really exist? If so are there dumb ones? So many questions.
No need for me to put this up as the good folk at RCRDLBL have it here for you freely and legitimately like. Killer tune, NYC fire.

34. Clunk Click Every Trip – Peverelist (Punch Drunk)
Another end of year belter from the Bristol camp and a record that seesm to take on a different form every time you play it. A lot of the 2562, Headhunter etc technoeystep malarkey that people got all hot and bothered about this year was pleasant but failed to fully float my boat. Tracks like this need no justification and the b-side reminds me of the days of 'ambient dub' (apologies for the number of naff genre titles in this post) which is A-OK in my booklet.

33. Bosques Via Temperley - Chancha Via Circuito (ZZK)
For the amount that I've played and listened to it this year, the new school of cumbia gear coming out of Buenos Aries and the ZZK camp is probably underepresented. The vocal version of this featured on the excellent ZZK compilation (Digital Cumbia Vol 1), and the instrumental on its accompanying 12", both are scorching. The Chancha Via Circuito album should be on the way to me as I type, and here's hoping that this fertile scene gets the releases and distro it deserves in '09, I'm loving this multidirectional gear.

BOSQUES VIA TEMPERLEY - CHANCHA VIA CIRCUITO

32. The List – The Knux (Interscope)
Hip Hop album of the year no doubt for me and it's criminal that lazy-ass journalists flung this in with the hipster rap dumpster. I'm not a man taken to rahing on about riffs, but it's pretty damn decent when some of the best ones of the year came from a couple of New Orleans brothers now living in Hollywood. With this track it's the very Peter Hook-esque bassline that should be taken in for questioning,  because it's pure murderation.... launching this song into one of the great album openers of the year. (Doff of the cap to KH and Dart on this for the early listenings, you blessed us!)

Below are the vids for 'Cappucino' and 'Bang Bang', which are two of my least favourite tracks from the album as it goes...but I'm not risking a 'The List' mp3 because it's Interscope and it's bound to cop flack.
  


31. Bad – Kode9 & LD (Hyperdub)
One of two excellent singles from the Hyperdub head honcho, who didn't miss a beat with his label, this year, pushing boundaries with every release. Apparently this is 'funky' or some other foolish genre name (it's the post for that, dont you know), well it is genuinely funky and quite remarkable, marking Kode9 out as a leader amongst  so many followers..... once again.

30. Vampire Blues - Wooden Shjips (Sick Thirst)
This Californian 4 piece have wormed their way into my affections with a sledgehammer approach to psychedelic caterwauling, that takes no prisoners. This was a tour only 7" that can still be found (if you're quick) and most of all the Neil Young cover reminds me of the Cramps at their finest. In this day and age that is something to be treasured! I'm not quite sure why, but man I love this band, what they do aint so new but they just seem to nail it time after time,  and anyone who's prepared to indulge in a seriously headfuck version of Rabbie Burn's 'Auld Lang Syne' (and then give it away on their website) is seriously in my good books!

VAMPIRE BLUES - WOODEN SHJIPS

59-50 the list trundles orn

59 Nautilus – Rune Lindbaek (Drum Island)
I have long harboured the softest of spots for the Vikingular vibes of leading nincompoop of Nordic niceness, Rune Linbaek. Many years ago I kicked off a mix CD for Remix mag with his Junta Jaeger, which is a masterpiece of sludgey discoid majesty, that I still fling in the box from time to time. The Bonat Synthesizer EP, for his own Drum Island label, snuck out towards the end of '08 and is similarly top notch. I suspect will this also have a flextended shelf life round at chez Stinky and environs.

58 Forest Ghetto - Dub Delay Band (Tracky Bottoms)
I know next to nothing about the somewhat unattractively named outfit, on the brilliantly tagged Tracky Bottoms. Forest Ghetto was the initial standout for me, but all three tracks have something unusual and excellent going on. It's pretty hard to find now, but the link below should be good, if you're quick.

57 A Milli – Lil Wayne (Cash Money)
Enough has been written about this artist and this song, but it's undeniable... and to not have it in the list would be frankly foolish.

56 A Manha Na Praia - The Alps (Type)
See this post for Alps guff and links.

55 Iceblock - SSR (From The Crate)
This was a delightful surprise from Auckland guitarslinger for all sorts of folk, Jeremy Toy, who comes on all shoegazi (his own term, from memory) for the mysterious S.S.R. You can check the moody blurred 'Iceblock' on his myspace (below) and I suggest an beady eye be kept on future activity from the S.S.R. camp.

54 Crying Blood (Andrew Weatherall Dub) - VV Brown (Island)

CRYING BLOOD (ANDREW WEATHERALL DUB) - VV BROWN

53Uptown (Andrew Weatherall Rmx) – Primal Scream (B Unique)
And there will be more Weathearall to come..... This sublime, somewhat nostalgic mix was only available with the ludicrously priced (50 quid) 'Beautiful Future' vinyl, limited edition, set, which was seemingly specifically designed for folk with more money than sense. I'm all for stimulating the market, and squeezing us last few foolish vinyl customers reasonably dry, but that amount is outrageous, and outside of the highly desirable, unavailable elsewhere 12" of this mix, you're paying for art prints and fancy packaging palaver. What a wanky waste of a good mix, and way to make music unattainable to your average sadass. Enjoy the mp3.

UPTOWN (ANDREW WEATHERALL RMX) - PRIMAL SCREAM

52 Le Valse De La Vie - Jean Marie Aerts (False Tuned)
This veteran Belgian guitarist unleashed a pearler of a 12" for Tikiman's label that won me over with it's general Sergeness on this track, and an unusually high strike rate elsewhere. Oh and the 'blah blah blah' bits, get me big time.
This is another one I only have digitally by pulling it from one of my stinkmix cds, so apologies for any abrupt endage and stinking stings, c'est lavvy.

51 Shoot Out – Mykal Rose
The exception that proves the rule, one of the great autotune tracks in a year of sooooo many lame ones. Like others in here it may technically be an '07 track but until I have a proper copy in my grubby mitts.. it doesn't really exist for me.

50 Wickedness - Cult Of The 13th Hour (Soul Jazz)
Interviewing Kevin Martin about the Bug album last year, Cult Of The 13th Hour came up in the conversation and he expressed disappointment that the identity of the Co13H (that's quite a nifty 'table of the elements' kind of abbreviation right there) had been blown by a couple of British record shops. I was tickled by the thought that he imagined people might think this could be anyone but him and Spaceape. Both of these fellers have sonic signatures a mile high and fire for your soul, an album would be most welcome.

Well there was nae doubt, no chin stroking and a complete absence of soul searching as to what tune would end up in this post tonight. I've always got a bit of a soft spot for Bling Dawg (despite, or maybe partly because of, his riddiculous nomenclature), tonight there was a healthy showing of worthwhile bashmenteering biz (though I had to trawl through endless ravey-wavey rubbish to find the gooduns) but mostly of allness the tune is called 'Bloggers'! Well.... you've got to, haven't you!
Hanyways the title alone wouldn't have got it in, it's a little scorcher by itself. All in all, it just makes me think that if it's done right the Alliance album, which is due this year could be danger. They have the production and vocal talent  to rip through the opposition, and who knows it might even stop Vybz's perpetual moaning for a minute, he really is making himself into the JA 50 Cent with his constant beefing and bleating at his former crew. So long as the record isn't all warring nonsense, and Bounty Killer doesn't get too caught up in his fishy pursuits it should be one hell of a release!

69-60 of '08

Has been busy, and this post is well overdue, but I think this week could be even worse. Flying Lotus was ridiculous last week, I can't remember the last time a DJ turned my ears out like that....Hanyways on we go..

69. Last Days Of Magic - The Kills (Domino)
Rawking gear probably doesn't get as much shine as it should on this list with the year's radio  playlists dominating the saucy source-ology. However this a track that simply couldn't be denied...monstrous!

67. Royal Flush - Big Boi, Andre 3000 & Raekwon (LaFace)
Away from all the heated discussions about trouser tightness and levels of the hipsterati hiphoperation, Big Boi reminded us what it's all about dropping a depth charge of a single,  utilising the Isley Brothers 'Voyage To Atlantis' and his own considerable lyrical largesse. Admirable back-up from his copie and his right Raeyal Cheflyness but BB owns this one.

This should be a statutory lesson for the BBQ dub crowd, carrying all the mellow vibes but real bite and purpose throughout. Proper oper stuff, and LV's recent remix of Zomyby's 'The Lie' and other bits and pieces rate him as a bit of a potential player for '09.
