We’re happy to announce that a few of our Zambian psych reissues have served as fodder for Madlib’s forthcoming Beat Konducta In Africa – entry three in his once-a-month album series, The Madlib Medicine Show. Madlib’s album is out in late March – right before our CD issue of WITCH’s first album, Introduction, sees release in conjunction with Germany’s Shadoks.
In the meantime, download the title track from WITCH’s garage-rock masterpiece and check the way Madlib flipped it for his “Raw Introduction.”
We told you about this last fall. And it’s finally here – this new entry into the Savath and Savalas book – etched by a new production entity we know only as “The Predicate.” Packaged as a “mini-LP” in a thick “tip on” cardboard sleeve, this limited edition CD is available now on Stones Throw’s webstore and is out everywhere on Tuesday.
Who woulda thunk it – “Catalan-folk-psych with minimalist-electronic-sensibilities” re-imagined as an excursion in neo-dub? Not us, but La Llama: The Predicate Dub Version is doing it right about now.
If you haven’t copped the Brazilian Fuzz Guitar Bananas comp, here’s a good reason to do so: for a limited time, over at Intelligentsia, you can now buy a $30 set that pairs the CD with a pound of organic Serra do Bone Brazilian coffee. “Deep bass notes, dark chocolate tones… caramel silkiness….” Yeah, that’s how the coffee fiends describe this particular Brazilian blend, but, you know, they could be referring to the comp as well couldn’t they?
Did we mention we signed Swiss producer (and now vocalist) Dimlite? We think we did. We’re releasing a rather-excellent long play that we’ll call an “extended play” in Spring.
But we wanted to give you a little something in the meantime and this lovely take on Gap Mangione’s “Diana In The Autumn Wind,” which he calls “Diana Won’t,” comes just in time to celebrate Dilla-month. So here we go. Expect to hear more from Dimlite soon, and, if you’re in the London-area, don’t miss him at Flying Lotus’s/Red Bull Music Academy’s Brainfeeder on Saturday March 10th at Fabric.
