Summer Soul Intro P1: Eric Lau 2008-05-26 03:56:09 This week we’ll be covering all the neosoul/jazzy hiphop stuff coming out mostly from the UK and of course the US (Stones Throw!) It’s def going to be the sound of this summer and might we say flutes are making a comeback!.
Let’s start with a fabulous album on Ubiquity by 26 years old Eric [...] Read more:Summer
Summer Soul P2 : Flying Lotus 2008-05-27 03:23:52 Continuing our soulful hiphop tour, renowned beatdigger Steve Ellison aka FlyingLotus
is soon to have his sophomore album “Los Angeles” out on UK’s Warp. His debut “1983″ on Carlos Nino’s (Ammoncontact / Build an Ark) Plug Research was very well received and so was his “Reset EP” on Warp, which is pure gold!. His [...] Read more:Summer
Undomondo #54 2008-05-28 04:29:41 Coincident with this week’s neosoul/hiphop vibes here’s a mix with jazz + neosoul + nu school hiphop + funk + afrobeat + disco elements. One highlight is Mor Thiam’s `Ayo Ayo Nene` which was recently included in a compilation called Spiritual Jazz, but thanks to a comment by our avid reader Henri, a rip of [...]

Kissey Asplund 2008-05-29 06:52:09 Hittin you up with another sweet soul sensation, this time from Sweden. Kissey Asplund’s debut on UK’s R2 Records is as sweet and deep as vocals go. With jazzy & ultra laidback beats provided by Paris hip-hoppers Papa Jazz Crew, this is a collaborative zeitgeist for Europe Soul in 2008. Her new album “Plethora” is [...]
Listening to others 02.06 2008-06-01 23:38:01 I was planning to do this yesterday, but couldn’t so here it is today, a selection of the best finds on Hype Machine this week.
* Siriusmo - Last Dear on Audiodrums (Berlin based electronic)
* Dillinja - Grimey on Fried my Little Brain (Drum ‘n Bass)

Istanbul Theremin Meeting 2008-06-01 12:21:56 We’re quite stoked for the next Friday as we’re preparing for a huge event in Istanbul focused on te spooky instrument that is “theremin“. Starting with a biopic focusing on Leon Theremin’s life, meeting one of the foremost Theremin artists in the world right now, the classically trained Pamelia Kurstin who released an album on [...]
The Advisory Circle 2008-06-03 05:15:31 We’re huge fans of Ghost Box and the nostalgic aesthetic of their output which brings libraries, victorian buildings, steampunk and old hauntologic memories to mind. I’ve been a few months late in figuring out that The AdvisoryCircle
aka Jon Brooks aka King of Woolworths has a new one called Other Channels out. I should [...]
Music Reblog Wed 04.06 2008-06-04 07:52:46 * The seminal improvjazz label ICTUS Records led by Andrea Centazzo and Carla Lugli has a page on Last.FM. Here’s an awesome компютри втора употребаfull track playlist featuring artists like Steve Lacy, Evan Parker, Derek Bailey, John Zorn, Anthony Coleman, Henry Kaiser and Toshinori Kondo.

The Art of Funerary Violin 2008-06-05 03:12:47 Another strange piece of work in tune with the Ghost Box aesthetics of being half-remembered/half-there is by the “The Guild of Funerary Violinists“. The guild founded in 1586 has protected these obscure classical solo violin pieces dating back from the late 17th to the early 20th century. Pieces from violinists such as the respected Wilhelm [...]
Quiet Village 2008-06-06 07:04:13 Ahoy! Today we see a new kid on the undomondo block, one of Istanbul’s world renowned DJs and the musical director of our home radio Dinamo, Fuchs has written a review for K7’s QuietVillage
, whose album has literally amused us last night and made us sing praises. Hopefully he’ll have more endurance to keep [...]

Foals 2008-06-09 08:26:25 The band to get Battles’ most talked band award from last year is Oxford’s Foals. One of the most hyped and busy bands this year, they’ve managed to get over 2 million listens on last.fm with their debut “Antidotes” which recently secured a Sub Pop distribution deal for US and got featured on NME as [...]
Netlabel : Glitch City 2008-06-10 08:27:12 I discovered Glitch City via the last.fm noise mafia. They’re a glitch/experimental/noise/breakcore/antimusic/8-bit netlabel who have made 56 releases in their first year. I didn’t have the time to listen to all of their output but I’ve made a 10 track compilation out of the releases I’ve checked out. I particularly liked NOWINGUS‘ aesthetic.
However [...]
Balmorhea 2008-06-11 07:05:45 Austin Texas duo-turned-quartet Balmorhea makes melancholic acoustic music, complicating roots Midwest Americana with cinematic ambience. It took me a few tries to get into their music since I’m not preloaded with the rural midwest culture, in fact I’ve lived %99 of my life within the hubbub of a metropolis of over 10 million. Campfires, none. [...]
Assorted for vacation 2008-06-13 02:06:11 It’s time to take the first short vacation/break of 2008 and disappear until Monday. Assorted songs that I’ve been listening to for the last months but can’t find the context to post are up to keep you busy in the meantime. Enjoy.
Ebu Gogo - Neo-Uranium Mattress (electro/mathrock/videogame goofiness)
Kelley Polar - Chrysantemum (electronic)

The Mabuses 2008-06-16 07:41:30 Any of you remember Doctor Mabuse? The notorious criminal made famous by Fritz Lang is the inspiration of the band’s name. Similar to its elusive namesake, The Mabuses has been an overlooked gem and never made big. While Kim Fahy and Co’s career spans almost two decades with various projects, they’ve been very selective and [...]

Hype Machine watchlist 1 2008-06-18 05:14:59 I’m late in figuring out the best way to keep up with mp3blogs : The Hype Machine
Watchlist. Now it’s pretty simple to keep track of my blogroll! Here’s the first installment from the last two weeks.
Is Vampire Weekend really worth the hype? Don’t have the album but I’ve hunted some songs and they really [...]
Brethren of the Free Spirit // Jeffrey Roden 2008-06-27 05:51:23 Hi kids I assume some of you might be bored of all this dancable hummable summer music so to add some spice for the more sophisticated reader, here’s some tunes that have been guiding me to sleep in the last months.
The first piece is by Brethren of the Free Spirit duo consisting of 12 [...] Read more:Jeffrey

Señor Coconut “Around the World” 2008-06-26 06:14:19 Blog favourite German from Chile, Señor Coconut aka Uwe Schmidt and his orchestra has the latest installment to their series of latin pop covers.
I know the excitement fades after 3 albums and BBC even wonders if it’s time for Coconut to retire, the idea is barely new but it’s terribly infectious and successful plus [...] Read more:World
Diesler // Melvyn Price 2008-06-25 10:42:29
2 great tracks, deep house from UK's Diesler and soulful jazz from Melvyn Price, a classic from 1974 remastered!
Cenk Akyol - Summer Jazz Mix 2008-06-25 04:25:46 Our friend Cenk Akyol mixes another quality mix; before coming back to Istanbul for a vacation after 2 years of living down under!.

Undomondo Radio Show #57 2008-06-24 16:14:57 Don’t ask me where 55-56 is, forgot to upload them! Starts off with moogy balearic soundscapes, think the transition to Yeasayer works good, not sure about the next oriental jazz piece. I’m loving this Jackie Paris track, anyone has links to more songs? Next up is an electro bit, not this new shit though, proper [...] Read more:Radio
White Denim 2008-06-23 04:12:42 If any of you UK freaks need to get your yearly southern rock fix like I do, the Texas’ modern day cowboys WhiteDenim
are currently on tour in the UK. I guess it all started with Kings of Leon’s sophomore for me : I instantly got teleported into a vintage American car, started riding [...]
What the mailbox brought in June 2008-06-22 12:51:24 Selection off the MP3s emailed to us by artists/labels & promotion companies we got sent this month.
Cof Cof - Caribbean Boy
Cof Cof - Forbidden Cocktail
Spaniards Cof Cof with their catchy lo-fi twee pop.
Tupolev - Reaset
Mödling’s Tupolev has a gloomy sound, reminding me of Bohren & Der Club of Gore, Triosk and Tied and Tickled [...]
Dubstep Comet 2 2008-07-10 06:24:06 My sixth sense (Google Analytics) told me that one of the most popular posts on undomondo this year has been the Dubstep Essentials one. Here’s a few more dubstep/grime, a hard dancefloor bouncer from Cotti on Souljazz, sinister wobbly bass from Untold, a melodic one from Ramadanman, lo-fi vocal one from Cult of the 13th [...]
Undomondo Radio Show #59 2008-07-09 18:09:21 Another journey through exotica filled skies by error101, the red baroness of dusty cabinets, old gems, vintage jazz, saudade and then straight into some latin party mood, not the cheesy latin party with the chicks from the latin dance class though! A real latin party in heaven with El Rey.
Erik Levander – Sekund
80 Drums around [...] Read more:Radio
Syd Matters 2008-07-09 04:52:19 In hindsight, the first thing that attracted me to this fine gentleman was his pseudonym. A frenchman singing acoustic folk songs in English, trying to represents among what, like ten thousand folk bands from the US?
Yet somehow after a few months of coming back to this album, it’s July and I should say this [...]
