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.

….”NOISE TAPE REGGAE”….

A very nice new 7″ from Portland’s own STRATEGY .. (AKA) Paul Dickow.

This music was made using repurposed dusty old reggae mix tapes spliced into loops played back on a 4 track. Mixed live, and processed live using only the finest of analog equipment.

This record is a beautiful adventure of familiar old sounds filtered through a new lens. Dubby fuzzy layers, lots of delicious spring reverb, and some heavy bass. All are very present indeed.

The B side puts me into an unknowing transcendental heavy lidded state every time i listen..

try it at33rpm..? its nice at both.. always a plus!

The vinyl comes in a sealed plastic sleeve. very sexy, took me a week just to break the seal, it looks so nice.

11 days and counting! And its really been striking me the level of hope and positivity im feeling about all of this. The thought that things could actually take a turn and… heaven forbid start to get better…..! Its really stirring to me the amount of cynicism and American shame that i’ve been walkin around with these past years..  DAMN. Time for a change.

So this leads right in to a very special gift that i received this week .. the kind of gift that comes to you at just the right time. and simply blows your mind in all the right ways.

My dear friends Sam and Lahela just came back from visiting family in Hawaii. After picking them up from the airport the other night, Sam handed me a stack of records and said “here ya go!”

This treasure was on top of the pile..

thank you sam!

thank you Sam! 

Lets hear it again....TURN THE SPEAKERS UP!!
