Gong & Exclusive Mix!
Our first ever exclusive mix, done by Can and me, for the Manchester based peddler-of-all-things-cosmic the unsurpassable Cosmic Disco blog which we frequently mention in our sideblog, is online. Plus a classic spacey Gong track up for grabs.
Loud-E & Tako
This months SOAP Kozmo nite will be starring, two highly respected DJ’s DJs from Amsterdam. Rard Laudy aka Loud-E and Tako. Their own eclectic brand of cosmic disco, house and spacey afro beats and 70’s porngrooves is called Discoine and they’ve been DJing since the 90’s, lately though alongside Lovefingers, Tim Sweeney, DJ Harvey and Lindstrom they’re named more and more since cosmic disco hits the mainstream.
Baikonour
Getting its name from the Khazak city of Baikonour which hosts a shuttle launching station is a giveaway for the spacy vibes of Brighton based Jean-Emmanuel Krieger. His second LP on Melodic Records, Your Ear Knows Future is a culmination of different styles such as the distorted shoegazing guitars, spacy FX and electronic bleeps with valid comparisons to Air and Trans Am.
Space, why must we wait, why not now 2
And then, the Earth being small, mankind will migrate into space, and will cross the airless Saharas which separate planet from planet and sun from sun. The Earth will become a Holy Land which will be visited by pilgrims from all the quarters of the Universe. Finally, men will master the forces of Nature; they will become themselves architects of systems, manufacturers of worlds.
Space, why must we wait, why not now?
“The eternal wonders of space and time, the faraway dreams and mysteries of other worlds, other life, the stars, the planets. Man has been face to face with them for centuries, it is barely able to penetrate the unknown secrets. Sometime, someday the barrier will be pierced, why must we wait why not now?”
