ART: Illegal Tender Exhibit Opens
[via Cut Collective]
Well so this is it, our southerly sojourn sees us occupying the Dunedin Public Art Gallery (some of it anyway) for just over 3 months with brand new, tripped out, large scale works examining not if the ‘consumer society’ exists, but how we are so comfortable being part of it. And there is no denying that we here at CCHQ enjoy our nice tings much as the next con-sumer..
This is just one of the conundrums that has informed ‘Illegal Tender’.
Jamie Woon - Night Air (Ramadanman Refix) (CANDENT SONGS)
Available Here on 12"
Co-produced by Burial! Jamie Woon is a special talent who will carve his blues n' bass infused pop songs into your brain and leave them there forever. You might not have heard of him yet, unless you've been tapped into the eerie, soulful end of dubstep, but it's a name you will be hearing a lot of in the coming 12 months.
Written and produced by Woon, 'Night Air' is as dark, sweet and seductive as molasses, an irresistibly understated combination of Jamie's uniquely supple voice, his subtly compulsive beats and a sky full of atmosphere. A melancholic ode to the urgency of the night, it’s a future soul vision taken further into orbit with a dancefloor-winning refix by up and coming techno/dubstep crossover don Ramadanman. But you have to go back a few years to find the seeds of his new sound. In 2007 he released his version of traditional standard 'Wayfaring Stranger' with a remix from secretive and ultra selective producer Burial on the flip. It turned people like Gilles Peterson and Mary-Anne Hobbs into full-blown Woon fans. The release also recalibrated his musical mind and inspired him to re-think his approach on music. Woon is now primed to be one of the most exciting artists you're likely to hear all year, a man who is populist but always inventive, a modest and understated 27 year old who's making hugely ambitious music that you'll be filing somewhere, between your favourite Four Tet, Richard Hawley and D'Angelo records. Singer, songwriter and self-taught producer Woon made his name by playing live. He's got hundreds of gigs under his belt, from endless spots in front of the microphone with just his guitar, an effects box and that unmistakable voice, to supporting Amy Winehouse. He's played in a full band with dubstep DJ and producer Reso on drums and he's taken stage at Sonar. He has now made the music that will let him switch between intimate gigs to stages with a bigger reach. The new sound fuses his future pop songs with '80s reverb, ultra-tight beats and acres of bass and they cleverly carry the intimate emotions of his early sound into a whole different room, bigger, badder... heavier. Watch out for his debut album in spring 2011... A. Jamie Woon - Night Air B. Jamie Woon - Night Air Ramadanman refixNew In At Conch - 14th October

The Strange Games series from BBE Records is back with the 5th installment, check sound clips below.
The Strange Games... series which began in the summer of 1997, represents the blueprint for modern R&B and rap music. It joins the dots between 70s soul, 80s rare groove and 90s mass market hip hop. This compilation contains a wide variety of styles of tracks, from classic dance-floor fillers as well as lesser known delights. A more accessible diggers delight if you wish with an emphasis on quality track and not just songs worth having for a 2 second sample.
Featuring a much more worldly selection than its predecessors - tracks by the multi platinum selling War to Sylvia (founder of Sugarhill Records) sit side by side with world music underground icons like C.K. Mann and Francisco Aguabella. This volume is the 5th in a series of compilations that appears to have the widest appeal of all BBEs compilations and proves to be even better by the fact that there is a bonus mixed CD by the one and only Dj Spinna!
