Bonza. WYWRadio drops #62 aka the first show of 2014 and it’s a moody winter warmer. Beats to kick off first from the free download fest that begun at the end of last year – big drums from !llmind which apparently Kanye didn’t use, then magic from the outtakes selection FlyLo dropped just before Christmas, and then finally the wonderful Dream Ache from GP’s track-of-the-year man, Lone. All still available for you – follow the links on www.whatyouwantradio.com
Then we’re backtracking – The Abstract Eye go kinda 80s beats on their Eglo release from last Spring, before Oneohtrix Point Never has modulated children’s choirs lull us all to sleep with the wonderful Chrome County. That’s followed by a cheeky demo from Nightmoves – I’ll be darned if I can find it again online. Did I just dream it?
Two more from 2013, the Ambient Jazz Ensemble which I think has some Cinematic Orchestra folks in there somewhere, then Fatima’s December single which is reet nice.
By this time we’ve taken the temperature down to winter levels, and Rosie Lowe keeps it there. Big things are expected from Rosie, and she’s on the money here. Another 2013 one I missed next, from John LaMonica and Rumpistol – channelling Radiohead yes, but channelling them well.
God next. Not actually contributing a track, but apparently a message that Robert Vanderbilt intercepted. Then the Motown God – Norman Whitfield – gives us something murky and mysterious from The Undisputed Truth. The LP is comes off – The Cosmic Truth – is an absolute must-own, in WYWRadio’s opinion.
Then we get West Coasty with Leon Lowman and then the Tender Leaf off the excellent BBE compilation Americana Vol. 1. Theo Parrish keeps the sun shining in the winter months with ‘A Long Walk in Your Sun’ – ten minutes of bumping bliss.
Theo opens the door to some housey sounds – Alex Burkat (taken from the great John Talabot DJ Kicks comp), Daniele Baldelli, Den La Desh (Rotterdam!), Tensnake (expect large promo for them in advance of a March lp), an insane edit of The Walker Brothers (of all people), and the fantastic rare unreleased version of Candido’s ‘Thousand Finger Man’. Minimal disco. Top that with a lovely mix of Dinosaur L’s ‘Kiss Me Again’ and it’s nearly done – the lights are turned out by the Australian pop of Panama (it’s summer down there!) and we’re out. See you next time on WYWRadio. Oh, and tell your friends about us. Oh, and remember if you like the tracks you can visit the website and find links to buy!
