a new album from Lali Puna? Yes please!
another one
soul music for all those bad girls in my life over the years, happy valentines day!
listen to the lyrics
andre nickatina-like the new school hipster-hop version of too short only he’s added food as a topic to rhyme about. awsome. plus i love 126 bpm rap cause i can mix it with house and electro. this one is an anthem for sure.
Ralph Lundsten is a director, poet, and electronic music wizard who pioneered his musical stylings in the 1950’s and went on to compose 110 albums. He now lives in an enormous pink victorian mansion that he calls the Andromeda Galaxy and makes people apply for his own visas to enter his world. Inside, it is fully adorned like a 70’s sci-fi disco space ship; complete with instruments rigged up to a solar system of lights mounted on the ceiling.
Other interesting facts:
- He grew up in a farmhouse and didn’t really hear music until he was 17
- Calls wood-nymphs the “pin-up girls of the forest”
- Wrote poems and substituted the words for electronic sounds
- Used one of his instruments to translate music into knitting patterns for wool
- favorite quote: “I’ll have to turn this instrument off for a second, otherwise I’ll die from having it on my face.” (I personally have my doubts about whether the particular instrument could ACTUALLY kill someone…)
Anyway, these two songs are from the album, Discophrenia (1978)
Equal parts disco, funk, & electronic
Pretty gangster…
Peace and love,
and thank you Michael Jackson,

Sorry it took so long to get posts going again on this site. Life has been really crazy the past two months. That said here is the post that never made it out of Buenos Aires in may:
Two obscure tracks from disco master Giorgio Moroder, who of course wrote what is likely the biggest disco anthem of all time and certainly the most widely sampled: Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” in 1978. These two from his 1975 album are more like abstract synth experiments than fully formed disco tracks, but the direction is clear. These both remind me more of minimal techno from the nineties(I was thinking Pete Namlock on Reflective) or a more dance oriented Klaus Shulze than of the big club disco i most commonly associate with Mr. Moroder. I cant wait for some custom edits of these two joints! But they would kill me on the dance floor in their original versions too.
