CATS on the Mixx.

Posted on by


This is a new Dubby summer jam from a trinity of PDX trippers.

Served with a side of lady vocal toasts, drones, and drips.

There are some thick moments, the beats hit, its sloppy in a cut off jean shorts house party kinda way.  If thats your thang, then move with it.

WE LIKE CATS – “MEOW HEAR ME ROAR”

SKWEEE CHAMPION

MICHAEL BRUCE – “Lo Snap”

[audio:Michael Bruce – Lo Snap.mp3]

POISONOUS GASES – The Hottest and one of the only west coast SKWEEE LABELS based right here in the PDX, Just released a massive slice of 7″ vinyl by wonderfresh Producer Michael Bruce.

This is a moment in time where the west coast can grin with the goldest of teeth, and be proud of the sonic swagger to come. The hills are alive with the sound of SKWEEE!

Both sides of the this little beauty are full of melodic analog punches to the gut. Soulful sequencing and a streetwise ear to the mix. Best listened to on the largest of systems. This record is limited to 300. It will not last long. Sconce on it here.

FIT FOR A KING.

RBLU – “MublA”

[audio:MublA.mp3]


We are proud to showcase some long awaited heat, from local sage wiseman, and sonic / spiritual adventure host RBLU.

Reppin SE Portland via Albany NY. This is a downright evil display of riddem and sonics bubblin over the fires of long sleepless nights glued to head phones burning the fuel of frequencies.

Some frequency shit.

Grab your crown, this is a turn it up sound.

TEN RAGAS TO A DISCO BEAT

Posted on by

Im RE-BLOGGING this via GLOWING RAW.

THIS IS SOME BOSS ASS SHIT!

[audio:04 Raga Megh Malhar.mp3]

“In 1982 the Bollywood session musician CHARANJIT SINGH imported with much pain some of the latest synthesizer equipment into India. A good investment as Bollywood composers liked to feature the latest sound in their songs, and with these keyboards Singh spiced up numerous Bollywood recordings.

But apart from that, in the late nightly hours after the studio recording were over, Singh set out on his own, wholly original project. His goal was to translate the language of Indian classical music, the ragas, to the synthesizer. His basis was a plain disco beat, on which he synthesized the melodies of ancient Indian ragas.

By chance the machines Singh bought were exactly the synths that would define the sound of electronic dance some years later. The beat he synthesized with the Roland TR-808; the bass-lines he programmed with a Roland TB-303, the synth that some 5 years later would create the sound of acid house. Last but not least, he used the Roland Jupiter-8 keyboard, with which he generated psychedelic melody patterns and improvised the melodies of the ragas.” – words and DWNLD via GLOWING RAW
