Résistance à la Mode
Because best things in life aren't things.
Asymmetric warfare
San Soda’s ESP rework was a limited press on vinyl by We Play House Records(same people that brought us Let’s Go couple of years ago). Due to high demand, 150 copies on circulation sought buyers for more than $1000 on discogs. So what makes this record so special? It is not pretentious and it is stupidly simple (there is no kick drum on the whole track). Slutty high-hats, a bass hit here and there layered on top of lovely vocals. Yes, the heat is definitely on.
Howling is music with soul and Kraviz always manages to get those yearnings right.
Yet the true gem of today’s post is Voices From The Lake. An aural painting of a lush landscapes. Organic techno for the modern psychonaut.

A love you can not live without
How can John Talabot be so good? His sound sculptures feel: unrushed, happy to be in the moment, content with the status quo, one and all with its surroundings and in touch with zen. Away from the troubles of the real urban jungle, Mr.Talabot seems to be on a Balearic island watching the sunset with a semi-conscious yearning towards the present. A sun is set. A bridge is broken. Yet what’s hinted at is more than what is shown. Don’t forget, only the fool looks at a finger that points at the sky.

Something you can feel
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
Happy holidays to everyone!

sonder
n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

We share the same soul
What happens to the hole when the cheese is gone?
After 2 months of silence, Resistance is back.
When everything is the same, yet something meaningful has been lost. Where has it disappeared to? Was the abstraction of meaning just an illusion?
In case you’ve been wondering, I have been asking unanswerable questions and desiring the impossible in the meanwhile. (I’ve also been having fun playing around with my own bleeps and noises, some of which you can listen to here)
Here are 5 well-executed groovy tracks that have been occupying my ears to help me get through Monday.
More updates to follow.

False Prophets
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field.
I will meet you there.
Recorded live in Pershing Lounge in Chicago, Ahmad Jamal’s Poinciana is one of the most famous jazz grooves of all time. Vernel Fournier and Israel Crosby follow Jamal’s dynamic and expressive range of chords with hypnotic and breathing rhythms, giving birth to a vast range of emotional flavors.
Bonus of the day is Nicolas Jaar’s side project Darkside with guitarist Dave Harrington.

There is something bizarrely heartwarming about raw sin/saw waves. Maybe it’s pacman & nintendo brainwashing a whole generation or maybe it’s the mathematical perfection they provide to our ears.Somehow our generation has deeply engrained the unnatural as the natural. Whatever it is, these sounds that no living creature’s ears had the opportunity to hear until a century ago are here, and they are here to stay.
To cut a long story short, I miss electroclash.

Argentina’s best kept secret, Leonel Castillo released his first vinyl on his own Groovear Records this summer. 1974 is a journey through mists of rhythm and melody as colorful tones blend in and out of each other in very euphonic means, creating a blend of uplifting deep-house and emotional techno.

Time ? Is it really that time again? It seems as if you only just arrived. You’ve done a great deal in a small time span. You’ve done so well, in fact, that I’ve received some interesting offers for your services.
Ordinarily, I wouldn’t contemplate them… but these *are* extraordinary times. Rather than offer you the illusion of free choice, I will take the liberty of choosing for you… if and when your time comes round again. I do apologize for what must seem to you an arbitrary imposition. I trust it will all make sense to you in the course of… well… I’m really not at liberty to say. In the meantime… this is where I get off.
