A whole heap of very special stuff on the show this week. My semi permanent online state of lurking around the sifty corners of Soundcloud where the people peddling that good good cumbia (and other remarkable musics) frequent, has led to many mails from my end offering to pay or somehow purloin the really standout tracks that aren't downloadable at the level I like to adhere to for Stinky Grooves. More than anything that's the reason so many of the tracks on playlist don't have a label bracketed, if you want to investigate any of them tracks further and be smart about it then I suggest add name + soundcloud and get yer googular on, a world of rhythmic riches and sonic surprises awaits you, just don't blame me if you lose hours or even days following your nose from there. Most notably tonight's show featured a couple of gems from Copenhagen's monstrously endowed in the bass department outfit Copia Doble System's new 'Cumbia Colegiala' EP which is available from the link below (so Im not posting a track from it...buy it goddamnit). Asmund from CDS was kind enough to furnish me with the parts of their stonking EP I wasn't able to reach elsewhere (it's only just actually emerged on Juno) and this one has got it all - from infectious new cumbia crucialities, a percussive punch down, Maga Bo masterphonics, Chico Mann taking it on safari ... you name it they seem to have snaffled it with aplomb.
Check em out on their soundcloud page and check
Buy the full flaming fandangle from Juno, you won't be disappointed!!

Maybe even pipping them at the post in the 'how bleeding excited can you get about music stakes' are Lido Pimienta and Pernett who have delivered a jumbo package of Columbian originated goodness to my internet shack and real deal physical mailbox this week. I have a post coming up hexculsively about those two vital talents very soon, so I wont say too much now but Lido's 'Color' EP is my release of the year thus far by a country mile (Pernett's was last year so I'm copping my L pass and the 5th for good measure, on that one) and can be bought from her myspace page right now.

Couple of gems to drop on you this week. First up John John the same named son of the great King Jammy, has just dropped a couple of revive style top rankers which buck the trend by being good rhythms with (arguably) not enough vocal cuts. How often do you get to say that, instead of the opposite (crap rhythms/too many slaverage vocalists with nothing to say)? Both the 'Water Pumping' (as in the Johnny Osbourne dancehall classic) and 'Zion Gate' (need I say more) are freely available on them internets, so get your digi digging on if you want to check the top class cuts from Sizzla, Tarrus Riley, Alaborosie and our romancing semi-vet Sanchez riding the latter. From the former here's the only cut thus far which is Sanchez again with a swoonsome croon that it would take a chilly soul not to be pleasantly troubled by. Seeing Sanchez perform in JA and the effect he has on the ladies is quite something else, he could sing the phone book and there'd still be excess perspiration and serious shouting from the JA females

TRUST IN ME - SANCHEZ


Yer little Easter egg bonus is a relick of the UK #1 single 'Pass Out' by Tinie Tempah which is pop grime brilliance in my book. It got more of a wash cycle than the full rinse tonight with the scorcher below featuring Cutty Ranks, Wrongtom's masterful re-rhythm which finds him basically slenging his teng but in an creative and refreshing way (you can hear it streaming here, I was unsullied enough to cop a playable one from the Righttom himself) as well as the original and that mighty mighty instrumental. When I first spied the chronically overblended Cutty Ranks on this I was a touch reticent, but the Frankfurt vibesmeister (and erm... student) who is all over quality locales like Generation Bass and Dutty Artz has dressed this up nice and done right by the beat butcher. Enjoy and check the original which is all up in yer iTunes and whatnot, they've even got the instrumental up there, hope to hear some local yokel MCs wrapping their tonsils round this for mixtape business in the near future.

Last Minute Larrikins for this eve - Block Party & Turnaround

Alrighty, busy old night around town tonight and one that demands a bit of the 'off the couchness' and maybe a touch of the 'on the brewness'.
Of course Block Party is kicking things off right at the Ginger Minx (117, Valley Road, pretty much corner of Dominion Road) from 4pm, when bFM will be doing their Friday Drive live and direct. At 7pm myself, Dave Seeka, and Scratch 22 will be taking over proceedings and running revolving 45/30 minute sets (in that order so I'll be playing 7 ish and 9.15ish before it all hopefully descends into a final fling of free-for-allness around 11ish) out in the alley on the Jagermesiter bus/hummer type arrangement. This should be fun...no excuses..see you there.

After a warm-up like that you know theres got to be more, and indeed there will be at the Turnaround who are maxxing their international status by following Gilles Peterson's exclusive visit last month with the truly brilliant DJ Kentaro tonight. If you missed him at Tiger Translate (or the heat and excessive strobes took the shine off) this will be unmissable. Its very very rare that a DJ has the terrifying turntabilist skills with the sensitivity of selector -this man does all that....
and then some!
Do not miss....seriously! flyer below and as a spesh Friday treat a limited, 192 DL of him rubbing some reggae up the wrong (right!) way from his excellent mixdown for Pressure Sounds 'Tuff Cuts'.

Taken For A Ride - Cardopusher (On The Edge)

As you can probably tell it's a bit bleeding giggy round these parts of late. After last weeks Aromatherapoid and Tiger Translate on Saturday (which was a gas) this week it's predictably another waft of the Aromatherapy on Thursday followed by Block Party on Friday which promises pungent power of unspeakable proportions. Inside the Minx me old mucker Roger Perry will be playing with Ben Wah while outside A.D.A.M. will be presenting his Friday drive show for 95bFM from 4-7 and then Scratch 22, Dave Seeka and myself will be sending out the shots (sonically) from the Jagermesiter bus/hummer type thing down the alley. The Minx will be sectioned off and there will be an outdoor bar and allsorts, as ever it's free - so all those people who whinge and whine about paying the equivalent of a beer or two as a cover charge..NO EXCUSES! Tightwads and them living large are all welcome, see you there.

This week have a gander at this track from the new EP by Venezuelan vibes vandal Cardopusher. While he's best known for his impressive but often merciless drill'n'bass-step kind of maneuvers, and frankly his gear is a cut above almost anyone in that scene, there is always a discernible sense of sophistication and a suggestion of something less abrasive than the mob in his hoo-ha. Schematic Blocks his latest for On The Edge realizes that potential and leaves any pavlovian wobble tricks in the cupboard... it's very very good. Have a listen to this slink number and see if you're not hooked, then follow the links to purchassification gratification and you are officially away.

Many many things worth following up from this weeks show but please do check out the bandcamp address next to the Suizen track. Tim Prebble is a long time friend of the Stinky Grooves radio show, Round Trip Mars and people with a pair of dicerning ears and it's real swell to hear his music again, peruse and purchase popkids. He's going to be flinging up a couple of new tracks every month up at his bandcamp page until he has an album looming, sounds like a stroke of geniusy to me.
However I aint posting that because there should be some wallet separation involved with any listening to that brace of gems. None is required for checking out New York based, San Diego outfit Cults who have three tracks available for the sharp eyed penniless punter at their bandcamp page. You can read about 'em at Pitchfork here if you need some kind of hipster re-assurance but on the strength of their tonetastic trio of tunes, it shouldn't be necessary. While we've had a a lifetimesworth of male/female duos and I think we're going to be hearing a lot of bandwaggonists talking about drag and dreampop this year, I reckon this pair have potential beyond the usual attention span and stylistic hotspots. So there.
Cults on bandcamp .. 3 free tracks bro, so the one here is 320

It is a gigantuan week of gigs this week as you can probably tell as this here blog becomes literally littered with fancy flyers exhorting you to come hither and make merry with the finest tunes in your ears.
In short - Thursday is Aromatherapy at the Minx. I missed doing this one last week, even though I did nip in for a swifty on the way home from work and Geezer Guy was doing a most excellent job, as one would expect. Sooo I'll be back on Thursday with tunes a plenty, a double week bonanza of excess freshness, can hardly wait.
Friday is round two with the long awaited return of Bubble Up at Tabac. Star studded line up for this one with Maiden Hong Kong, Gwaan Gal, Jahred and FJ. Expect lashings of JA biz with a side dish of Cumbionic crucialities... delicious.
Saturday ramps up the heat with a double header kicking off with San Francisco's mightiest Wooden Shjips alongside The Expressive Men at Whammy Bar, all being well I'll be wanging down some light footed yet thoroughly leaden gat blazers inbetweens. Expect the best band of psychkrautrocking West Coasters imaginable, at the very least. Will be pranging up the full interview I did with them last year on StinkInc in the next day or two... promise.
Finally the Solid Steel endorsed duo of Boom Monk Ben and DJ Cheeba will be dispensing some A/V THC at Zen, also on Saturday. My good mucker Geezer Guy will also be spinulating as well as Mr Randomplay... should be swell, flyer below.
Will try to drop a post with set times as and when I have 'em.

So all of this prevarication leads me to the track from tonight's show, which in all honesty I know next to nothing about. I do know that Mohammad Nouri is a big cheese in Iranian music, in fact his was just about the only name I had the slightest clue about on the mind bogglingly brilliant Pomegranates on Andy Votel and pals Finders Keepers label. Unless you've got a fully rabid case of diggermylitis I'm sure your jaw will drop, as mine did, at how unmitigatedly groovy and western psych/pop influenced these cuts from Shah-era Iran are. There isn't a duff track on the entire comp and it comes with the highest recommendation I could possibly give. As ever the 192 below is up for a week and the strong suggestion, or possibly implied threat is... this album MUST be bought and perused, it's beyond essential.

BIYA BAR-E SAFAR BANDIM - MOHAMMAD NOURI

and it goes on ...Ninja Tune niceness on Saturday



Saturday is a bussssy one. We'll be having some action about the Wooden Shjips at Whammy up here real soon, but also going and on-ing is this, which should be ripperatious at the very least. Read about the gents below, with commendations from folks who are considered totally top shelf at StinkInc like Kev Food and His Majestery Steinski. I'll let you know on set times etc as it comes to hand, so gird your loins and summon up your strength because this is going to be a fearsome weekend requiring full match fitness.


Boom Monk Ben (Solid Steel / Mixed Bizness)
Armed with Serato, two quick hands and the most diverse crate of dance floor fillers you’ve heard, the Boom Monk has developed a sound and style that is undoubtedly his own. Having cemented his position as one of Glasgow’s most popular DJs, his Mixed Bizness club nights attract crowds of 800 people to the Glasgow Art School every week and continue to lead the way in one of the most vibrant and productive club scenes on the planet. As well as rocking his native Glasgow on the regular, Ben has caught the attention of clubs nationwide and further with appearances at the best clubs in Montreal, Cape Town, Paris, Moscow, Berlin, Zagreb, London, Vienna, Ljubjlana, Liverpool, Belfast, Bristol, Edinburgh and loads more exotic locations as well as the best festivals on the calendar including Rockness, The Big Chill, Bestival, Hydro-Connect, Copenhagen’s Public Service Festival and the Montreal’s Piknik Elektronik.

A frenzied fanatic of all things bass, the Boom Monk leaves no stone unturned and no sound unheard in his quest for dancefloor devastation. From hip hop, dancehall, funk and break beats to house, funky, electro, dubstep and drum and bass, as long as it makes him, us and you move on the floor then it will get put the through the blender in his inimitable style.

The mighty Ninja Tune saw fit to approach Ben to record a series of ‘Boom Monk Zen’ mixes for their world famous Solid Steel radio show, which is broadcast in 30 countries world wide. They were suitably impressed with the results and as part of Ninja Tune’s 20th Anniversary the label and their Solid Steel DJ crew approached Ben to join their official ranks alongside Coldcut, DJ Food, DK, Kentaro, Hexstatic and other new recruits Cheeba and DJ Moneyshot. You can check his fidgety fingers on the regular by tuning into Solid Steel.

Cheeba (Solid Steel / Detectives of Perspective)
Peel back your ears, stick matchsticks in your eyes, set your jaw to ‘drop’… Bristol’s, Detective of Perspective, DJ Cheeba is plugged in and here to turn the tables. With his trademark slick blend of classic breaks, hip-hop, electronica, rock, kid’s records, d&b, and in fact everything in between and beyond, Cheeba has the unrivaled technical ability, knowledge and humour to pull it all together like no one else. He’s on a one-man mission to cut and paste anything and everything you’ve ever seen, heard or imagined. Prepare for mind melt… Cheeba is certainly not your standard disc jockey.

In 2008 Cheeba won the coveted ‘Solid Steel Mix of The Year’ with his, highly regarded, genre twisting mixtape ‘The Case of The missing Records’ and has since been invited to officially join the Solid Steel family alongside Ninja Tune legends such as Coldcut and DJ Food. Using this platform, Cheeba has quickly gained fans world wide and has been everywhere and anywhere doing his thing often out shining his peers and heroes with intricate sets of undeniable creativity. You can certainly expect the unexpected though, Cheeba digs deeper than most and will take you on a trip of long forgotten beats, breaks and videotapes.

Following a string of high profile shows performing various parts of his mixtapes live on three decks, two laptops and mixers, Cheeba is now pushing boundaries even further and often well out of sight. Using standard turntables and Serato Video SL to enable video controlled by real vinyl records, Cheeba now has brought scratching and juggling both sounds and pictures into the mix with additional camera feeds and special FX for stunning live results. Original films, remixes and music videos made by Cheeba and, on stage partner, James Reed (Thousand Thousand Points of Light) all blend seamlessly with inspired video mash ups, unusual animations and a wealth of wonderful and often bizarre visual sources. Its a video show unlike any other… Every track is remixed or re-edited, every video is custom made, concealed meanings make you think twice, movie clips cross reference the songs and subliminal messaging all add to this weird and wonderful brew of unique audio visual entertainment.

“Cheeba’s attention to musical detail is as meticulous as his cuts, he leaves no stone or style unturned in his search” – DJ Food
”Cheeba – the new Director General at Flip-Flop-Trip-Hop AV-TV” – Hexstatic
“yo, that av set is amazing!!!” – DJ Yoda
“I absolutely loved what I heard” – Steinski

Imminent Fire - The Return oF Bubble Up this Friday!!!!

LATE at the Museum & Geezer Guy off the bench

Sincerest apologies to anyone who showed up at Khuja expecting to get an olfactory dose alongside Mystro on Saturday night. Unfortunately I was beaten down by a most unpleasant cold/flu type scenario, which is ongoing, and forced me to have to pull out of that one. Big thanks to Mys and Mikki Dee for being so understanding, and going out of their way to find renking ring-ins, I hope it went well. I can't actually remember the last time sickness made me cry off a gig but it's a looooong time ago and was probably when I had pneumonia so this wasn't something taken lightly.
All being well I should be up to match fitness for tomorrow night's show and also this Thursday when I shall be forgoing Aromatherapy for a week in order to play at the Museum as part of their LATE series. I'll be joined by Emerald City displaying their whirledymusic wares and presumably a higher standard of conversation and whatnot than you get slanging the tunes out in any old bar. The Ginger Minx isn't any old bar, it's a lot better than that, and they're also the official Stinky Grooves sponsor, so I've lined up the indomitable Geezer Guy to play tunes and make merry on Thursday night in my place.. if you can't make the Museum or don't have $20 to spare then the Minx is free and you know that Geez has the handle on the tunes. Check him, I know I will be doing just that on the way home if times allow etc...
