PHORESKI / REDUX 019

A neurotic erotic robotic adventure. Italo-Cosmic with balls. “Machines” is dominated by an overdriven Bass emission, dodgy contacts making and breaking. Like Simonetti`s (Claudio not Mike) Easy Going borrowing from Yello`s “The Race”, well maybe Gino Soccio`s “Dancer”, `cos it`s still more Supermax than Unlimited Pleasure. “Brown Biscuits” could be a Loud-E edit, lost in the lasers at Land Of Oz. Fung & Oakey mixing Kings Of Agreppo, with A Split Second, with Fancy`s “Come Inside”, and sticking Weatherall`s Aleister Crowley LP over the top. The vocal actually sounds like the late Andy Fairley doing his best Crowley while vamping on Charlie`s “Spacer Woman”.

EMILE STRUNTZ / PORN WAX TWO

Stomping stormtroopers on Tusk Wax`s small pink organ. Newcastle based anti-neoliberaism New Beat, in part a reaction to the queen`s jubilee. “Acid Reign” has Zsa Zsa “La Boum” locked inside The Orange Place while the Volkspolizei hammer on the door. “Sin City” is the Antler Records guys doing pre-crack Al Jourgensen. Is the world obsessed with power and money, or social media and cheap celebrity?

KURT BAGGALEY / NATURAL PHASES / BOHEMIAN CLUB

Downbeat Techno full of waves and uneasy peaks. Carl Craig`s “Televised Green Smoke” or the Detroit Escalator Company, Urban Tribe`s “Low Berth, the Boards Of Canada, and Mathew Jonson`s “Typerope”, maybe a touch of Ulrich Schnauss in the swells of dissonance and circuitry feeding back.

JOSE MANUEL / TUSK WAX EIGHT

“Obsession” plays like an `80s Horror or Sci-Fi soundtrack, the closing credits of a John Carpenter for sure. The Last Waltz remix removes all light and pushes it out of phase. The results a great deal scarier. “Guitar Love” is a hypnotically looped, Eastern tinged edit that could be something on Parlour or one of Jonny Rock`s Turkish discoveries, a Light Sounds Dark bootleg or a female fronted Soul Jugglers, while “Revelacion”, just like Dennis Kane on Moton a few years back, has a go at Cerrone`s Spanish thing and has you wondering if it`s Santa Esmeralda. I can remember when they used to hand out tambourines at Flying.

JUAN LAYA & JORGE MONTIEL / IT`S GOT TO BE MUSIC /IMAGENES

Sounds to me like classic Brazilian boogie. Think Marcos Valle cruising beach side in a soft top, the boardwalk seemingly populated solely by hot women in bikinis.
