Doldrums, and how to get out of them
Posted at 10:42pm on Tuesday, March 16th, 2010 by AndyA while ago I tweeted about being in a musical rut, and asked for help. I thought it was worth reporting back the ones that really did it for me:
- @greatbiglizard recommended the most excellent Mungolian Jet Set “We Gave It All Away, Now We Are Taking It Back”; weird twisted psychedelic balearic disco funk – really rather fantastic
- Nik recommended The Juan Maclean “The Future Will Come”; DFA does Human League. That description is accurate, but doesn’t do it justice
- @dpotta (also well worth checking out on SoundCloud) recommended T.p. Orchestre Poly-rhythmo “The King Of Benin Urban Groove 1972 – 80″; I’m not sure Dave knew how much I love Afro Funk (check out Voodoo Funk for some amazing mixes, by the way), but this was a sure fire winner – and nice to be recommended Afro Funk that’s neither Fela nor a compilation
