Helios X GLK Redux

Free stream/download: Gaslamp Killer Vs. Heliocentrics!

You might have already caught the stream at Rolling Stone or the download at our future web-retailer Rappcats… you might have even read Gaslamp Killer’s words about why this mix is so important to him, personally, on his Tumblr…. but, if you didn’t, you can now feast your ears on what happens when a psychedelic DJ like GLK gets a second stab at the catalog of the Heliocentrics. Of course it’s mayhem, but you already knew that. And it’s a damn good listen all of the way through.

We’ve been talking about making a limited amount of these available on vinyl and we’re pretty damn sure we’re going to do so. More info to come soon.

From The Vaults: Heliocentrics “Joyride” (2005) EP

To us, life without the music of the Heliocentrics seems barely worth living, but we figured that not everyone who’s picked up on this label knows the breadth of this psychedelic UK ensemble. So, over the course of February, we’re presenting the Heliocentrics Now-Again catalog – and some unreleased gems – to our subscribers at Now-Again Deluxe.

There will be three installments, with the final issue being the “from the vaults” release pictured above: Joyride, which will only be available via Now-Again Deluxe. The four tracks from this EP that the Heliocentrics turned in in 2005 were recorded in the early part of the ’00s, and are alternate versions to the final versions that appeared on their Now-Again debut, Out There . The versions are all quite different – note the ending portion of “Distant Star,” omitted from the final album, the flute lead on “Haunted House” and the Middle-Eastern flavored psych – and the Jimmy Swaggart vocals! – from the original “Joyride.”

13 Degrees Of Reality is scheduled for an April 16th release date on CD and LP and to be made available at Now-Again Deluxe in March.

Not Really A Podcast: Part Three – The Poets of Rhythm, Malcolm Catto, Bajka Live In Nottingham, UK (2006)

Part three of what we think will be four – but might be five. Thanks to Sofrito’s Lewis Heriz we’re presenting another entry in our “Not Really A Podcast” series – the third song from the gig Heriz produced for the Poets of Rhythm/Whitefield Brothers, Heliocentrics drummer Malcolm Catto and vocalist Bajka at The Maze in Nottingham, UK, in 2006. This time – a cover of Egyptian drummer and bandleader Salah Ragab’s “Neveen.”
