There aren’t enough good donuts here in New Zealand, and here in Wellington they really are seemingly nonexistent. The perfect mid-winter treat with a nice cup of espresso, why can’t we get good donuts round ‘ere? We are saturated with just about every other brand so why can’t we at least get a Krispy Kreme here or there to solve a glazed-donut craving. Anyway in the meantime, here are some musical donuts to chew on.
Taken from the soon to be released, ‘Strange Weather, Isn’t It’ LP on Warp Records, this track demonstrates what I love about Chk Chk Chk, with abstract rock shapes underpinned by a phenomenally funky rhythm. As always this is an essential piece of indie with disco tinges and acts as an indicator of another interesting album on the horizon/Download: !!! (Chk Chk Chk) – AM/FM
Another lead single for a much anticipated album, Chromeo’s latest is one of their best songs yet, and hopefully we can expect the same from ‘Business Casual’ when it is released later this month. This Takes the duo’s satirical r&b sound to new heights with superior production and songwriting/Download: Chromeo – Don’t Turn the Lights On
With his second release on Boys Noize Records, Parisian Djedjotronic is fast establishing himself as a go-to man for slamming electro. Taken from the EP of the same name, this features the sort of production you’d normally associate with Jesse Rose or Riva Starr/Download: Djedjotronic – Bit This Thin Pt. 2
Truly a unique artist and performer, Mr. Oizo has crafted a niche for his own abstract blend of electro house and the avant-garde. His latest project is the film ‘Rubber’, which follows the story of a car tire’s daily life, and features a soundtrack recorded in collaboration with Justice’s Gaspard Auge. If that isn’t enough, the 12" single also features an amazingly weird remix from another one of a kind, Flying Lotus/Download: Mr. Oizo & Gaspard Auge – Rubber (Flying Lotus ‘Unprotected Sex’ remix)
Madrid based label Lovemonk have seemingly uncovered one of the best new disco acts for some time with the trio Space Ranger, who feature members of Dublex Inc., and deliver the sort of sample based beat odyssey you would normally associate with the likes of Rayko, Todd Terje or The Revenge/Download: Space Ranger – Phase Fever
Get your music from these great stores-Picadilly, Bleep, Rush Hour, Conch, and Samurai.
