Five Star Monday 9

Five Star Monday 8
Back in Istanbul to dismal weather, too hot/cloudy/humid. We’ll be back on track soon, but first a selection from yesterday’s deep abstract hip-hop session which yielded a lot of good stuff from the last two years. Jackson Conti / Madlib / FlyLo / Lukid and YNC.
Five Star Monday 7
New five star selection takes you off from blissful ambient/drone territory to electronic future jazz, then back to retro Italian funk, Brasileira and MPB. +Arto Lindsay, + Alessandro Alessandroni, + Chihei Hatakayema and more.
Not Not Fun
Not Not Fun releases “noise, experimental, psych-folk, spazzy/weird/art-damaged no-wavey inspired rock, math rock, noise rock, lo-fi, acoustic, drone to everything in between” in limited packages and their artwork is supercool. Here’s 2 select tracks from the NNF compilation at Impose Magazine.
Africantape/Sickroom
Great split sampler by Italy’s Africantape Records and Chicago’s Sickroom Records with lots of quirky math-rock, noise rock and other kinds of experimental rock from Them, Roaring Twenties, Bear Claw and Three Second Kiss who are currently supporting Shellac and more..
Haystack
Back home after a short trip, here’s the folky selection we promised but couldn’t deliver on Friday. New stuff from Akron/Family’s Set ‘em Wild, Set ‘em Free, Boduf Songs new EP on Under the Spire, Fire on Fire’s The Orchard (Young God) and DM Stith introduced to us by Simone of Discoballbreaker. Kind of a male Joanna Newsom.
West End Girls
Today we have a Leonard Cohen cover coming from a surprising artist, techno DJ Misstress Barbara, title track Hanne Hukkelberg’s “Blood from a Stone”, opener to Scanner’s “Rockets unto the Edges” and “West End Girls” from electro dance punk sensations We Have Band.
Mungo
Quick selection with four tracks of solid minimal house and techno gold from Losoul, Cristian Vogel, Green Velvet and Michel Cleis.
