Again, Honestly? You Need To Surrender Right Now!

Don’t even try to resist. Because that would be completely futile and quite frankly it would be ridiculous. rinse.fm Really? Come on! *FM would be Frequency Modulation = an analogue radio wave based distribution technique that pre-dates the internet and requires special apparatus to be captured.

If You Have Ever Wondered…

What is the big deal? Why should I (self-proclaimed master of the Universe) be concerned? Why should I be involved or take part in an obscure musical genre that happened to become global? Well, I will tell you. This and this reason alone is sufficient. The breaks. Once again it is the mighty Seba. “Stasis”… Continue reading If You Have Ever Wondered…

Scaffolding, State of Constant Reverie [Plastic Sound Supply – PSS023, 2014]

‘State of Constant Reverie’ is Plastic Sound Supply co-founder and contributing artist Scaffolding’s ninth release for the friendly label. The EP stretches five tracks long and the obvious thing to point out would be the choice to cover the jazz standard and classic ‘My Funny Valentine’ a song that has already been covered numerous times… Continue reading Scaffolding, State of Constant Reverie [Plastic Sound Supply – PSS023, 2014]

Iuengliss, Down Cosm EP [Plastic Sound Supply – PSS022, 2014]

Iuengliss returns to the continually friendly Denver based ‘Plastic Sound Supply’ label with the excellent ‘Down Cosm EP’. Iuengliss’ debut album on the same label was entitled ‘Blank Matter’ and it was favorably received here at resurface.se. The ’Down Cosm EP’ has everything anyone could ever want from a follow-up.

Esoteric Sob, Nostalgia [33 Recordings – 33REC061, 2012]

Time and promise… I imagine that I used to have more time and I’ve always tried not to make promises that I cannot keep. I did make a promise in this particular case and since I did do so I do have to honor that promise. The artist ‘Esoteric Sob’ is known to me, like… Continue reading Esoteric Sob, Nostalgia [33 Recordings – 33REC061, 2012]

King Tubby & Soul Syndicate ‎- Freedom Sounds In Dub [Blood & Fire – BAFCD 01, 1996]

‘Dub Of Righteousness’ lyrics say: ‘Move you all, you wicked men, fire the burn your soul in hell. I say this, a change is bound to come one day. Life won’t be this way always, the good can’t suffer. Tears fall from my eyes, there must be, better situation. Life will not be like this… Continue reading King Tubby & Soul Syndicate ‎- Freedom Sounds In Dub [Blood & Fire – BAFCD 01, 1996]

Naono, Sleepy Pebbles [Archaic Horizon – AH038, 2010]

Since the ‘Vibrant Music’ label always has been a favorite of mine and since Naono has been heavily involved in the very same label from the start. This 2010 Archaic Horizon release enticed great hopes when I found it and let me tell you straight away it does not disappoint! For even more cross-reference it… Continue reading Naono, Sleepy Pebbles [Archaic Horizon – AH038, 2010]

Aitänna77, Night Loops [Test Tube – tube246, 2012]

Aitänna77 is far from being a stranger here at resurface and it’s lovely to once again encounter his musical output. This time around on the (by the look of things unstoppable) Portuguese Test Tube net label, currently racking up 247 something releases the past 8 years or so. ‘Night Loops’ is number 246 and it… Continue reading Aitänna77, Night Loops [Test Tube – tube246, 2012]

Inigo Kennedy, Walls Have Fears [Asymmetric – ASY MP3 021, 2012]

On ‘Walls Have Fears’ we hear Inigo Kennedy pursuing the path struck in his early 2011 ‘Distant Circles‘ release. As expected it’s well-produced, clever electronic music that is decidedly and firmly rooted in Techno. Very big drums, yet delicate and always with the unmistakable IK touch. ‘Cautum’, ‘Squirkle’, ‘Sentinel Four’, ‘Nocturnal’ and ‘Speechless (feat. Laska)’… Continue reading Inigo Kennedy, Walls Have Fears [Asymmetric – ASY MP3 021, 2012]
