Voxatone
The concept behind Voxatone is very simple: exploring the sound qualities of vintage instruments with “vox” in their name. The first result is an otherworldly meeting between the 1950s Univox keyboard, the 60s Vox Continental organ and the 80s Soviet Polivoks synthesizer. Recorded at Mazkeka Studios, Jerusalem, with Elia Yakin on drums (the only “non-vox” instrument involved), Shay and Markey are joined by Estonia’s man of many hats, Misha Panfilov, on Vox Phantom bass for two groovy psych cuts: the mid-tempo mind-bender “Figure I.108” and the upbeat floor-stormer “Figure III.122” – on the flip.
Figure I.108/Figure III.122 released on Delights, Jerusalem.

من نحن؟
When continents collide, they make a thunderous sound.
Al-Qasar create the soundtrack to that fission. Arabian fuzz, they term it, a vision that’s brazenly electric and deeply connected to its roots. The band was started in the Barbès neighborhood of Paris by producer Thomas Attar Bellier, who brought together musicians from France, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, and the United States.

The Greasy Strangler
PLOT: Ronnie runs a Disco walking tour with his son, Brayden. When a sexy woman takes the tour, it begins a competition between father and son for her love. It also signals the arrival of an oily strangler who stalks the streets at night.

The man behind the molam sound
This is the first in a series of compilations on key producers of modern molam music from Northeast Thailand.
[column class=’column2′]
In the 1960s, 1970s and 1980’s, these pioneers created an exciting, electric sound from the centuries-old folk music traditions of the region, releasing groove-laden vinyl gems that sound just as fresh and dynamic today as they did nearly fifty years ago. Up first is the legendary producer Theppabutr Satirodchompu, the man behind the modern molam sound.
Out on Zudrangma Records now.

Awesome Tapes from Africa

This is music you won’t easily find anywhere else—except, perhaps in its region of origin. But if you are an artist/etc and wish for me to remove your music, email me.

Tani Siiutthai – I’m very glad
[audio:https://aseam.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/pair-of-pigeons-label-GRT54-side-1.mp3]
I’m glad
Oh, I’m very glad.
I have a wife that is stunning
My wife tells me I’m a good worker
In three months I’m home only once, because I can make a lot of money
I’m glad, there’s nobody else glad like me.
We were only married for four months, and there’s a baby
My daughter is beautiful with blond hair and big eyes
I ask myself, what did I do to get a daughter like this?
After three months my wife goes away for work
I ask myself, why did she take our daughter with her?
When they got back, my daughter looked fatter
Now she only eats bread and omlettes.
After three months my wife and daughter went away again
When they got back my daughter was so smart
She could speak English “food fish for fire”
How did we get such a smart daughter?
I’m glad
Oh, I’m very glad.
My wife brought a foreign friend to visit us
My wife is such a good wife, she makes new friends
Oh, I’m very glad…
(repeat x1)
