Sydney ghetto ambient group Seekae (pronounced ‘C’ ‘K’ in homage to platform pioneer Commander Keen) are the new Enya. Our taxi driver told us this, and although his argument for such a ridiculous assertion was Richie-thin, we believe he has a strong point.
We won’t get into that. Of more interest is how you can claim you’re ‘ghetto’ and then mention that you incorporate the glockenspiel into your routine. That ain’t fly.
They popped into Underground (every THURSDAY 10pm-12am FM99.3) because they’re on the cusp, the verge, and the edge of whatever follows being on the cusp, the verge, and the edge of something. Audio of the entire interview to be posted REAL SOON. Highlights included:
*admission that they’ve recently scored the theme to groundbreaking film ‘The Willpower’
*Alex regularly has his hair permed at The Salon for Hair – Turramurra (proud sponsors of North Shore FM99.3)
* they actually don’t know when or who will be releasing their forthcoming debut album
* they’re pretty sure that have a show scheduled at Will and Toby’s Supper Club, September 4
* George spent a night in with K.D. Lang during her recent Australian tour
* they’re the new Enya
* their plans to split and then reform for 2010
* the addition of DJ Meatbrick to their live act
some of the above is truer than other parts but importantly, new music was played, we dug into their live performance, some of their inspirations, and all up a good time was had.
2nd HALF OF INTERVIEW AND PODCAST OF ENTIRE SHOW TO BE POSTED MAD SOON

Shingo!
Japan got it on lock….Shingo Suzuki’s new album ‘The Abstract Truth’ has a shit long sub title that hints at wankiness and a lack of talent (seriously, the amount of poorly mastered, bit-talented artists who sell their stuff on Juno etc.!) but is quite the opposite!
guests like Moka Only, Blu and fellow Origami labelmate Thirdiq amongst others, swell jazz leanings and boombap hiphop good times. Definitely deserves the time and effort.

Spoonface and WAH Syndicate need some shine – dub, broken styles that are some of the best I’ve heard all year!
“WAH Syndicate are Elroy ‘Spoonface’ Powell’, Philip ‘Floor Fillah’ Craig and guesting artist Michael ‘Kaspa’ Gosling, all in it to flip it’ and make the music they make for fun frolics and pure sonic fornication.All from comparatively varied musical backgrounds they collaborate to create a truly eclectic combination of reggae-tinged-Jazz-matazz-hop-dance-movery. If there is such a genre.
their label, Faada, has a poor Myspace site and the rest, but still??!!!

sooooooo…. what’s in a name? ask the station. All good. We move on.
delved into the slowly and steadily reissued (at least online) Raw Fusion backcatalogue to snatch up some goodness, combining it with some recent releases for a short mix this week. It ain’t nowhere near complete until they put out the Red Astaire stuff though. The most thorough label doing it for mine. Click here for a featureon the man btw. Top dude, and he def rocked Sydney when he came through.
otherwise, we rocked that Drop mix (it’s criminal that no one over here’s playing that!) thrown up by nalden. There’s a link to the side, so you best get correct. One of my faves for the year no doubt – the Erjee track is crazy!
and how can I not post about that record above??? Japan’s Samon Kawamura remixes the remix something serious! Big toon! Huge! Otherwise, a welcome, welcome return from Nomo, more Ummah like stuff from Q-Tip, Mweslee and the All City crew got that good good, Hint damn near got the album of the year, and 2000 Black‘s new album gets more rub. Twas a dope show.

In a big way. His new four track EP on Hyperdub is killing shit. This heater alongside that Flying Lotus/Lil Wayne mix that’s hurtin’ em, a rough NEW J Dilla joint, ANOTHER huge Yellowtail track, crazy heaviness from both Jahdann Blakkamoore and Lewi White, a bass stomper from Connecticut, new Q-Tip (w/ D’angelo!!) and a reflective beauty from Kid Sublime.

Well, well, well. My computer’s blown a gasket, so last week’s show wasn’t the inaugural Thursday jumpoff I had planned. We’re all set for this week however!
To my count Yellowtail has 8 releases out alone this year. You may have noticed them in our playlists going all crackheaded. EPs, remixes, 12″s. In a bout of craziness distributors gave us two of his tracks this week – the one featured above is a candidate for single of the year, the Arch-Typ remix in particular is unbelievable!
Scandanavia came strong this week – new stuff from Dutch beatmakers Sir OJ, HayZee, and F.S. Green (check their free beat tapes), Danish group Koen, NAS (!!!), Rustie, Zomby, Samiyam, Jose James, FlyLo, Kissey Asplund, Harmonic 313, plus the return of Roots Manuva. Now if that ain’t fucking rollcall, what is?
