Ryan Naideau Top Ten
This weeks TOP TEN is from my main man Ryan from Warthog, Blank Dogs, Religious Knives, Nude Beach etc. Geezer only works for Rough Trade too.
” fave tracks i’ve discovered in 2017 so far “
Kate NV – Peaceful Protest
Cool contemporary freaky modern composition that sets a peaceful mood
Sharon Prabhyakar – Pyar Chhalke
Quite possibly the single most insane Indian electro disco track I’ve ever heard – this song switches gears like 15 times and has the most addictive vocal melody
Junko Ohashi – Dancin’
Japanese synth-pop dancefloor ready from 1984
Theo Parrish – Brain
Deep cut off of Parallel Dimensions – a great soulful hip hop influenced tune
Cybe – Zen Zai
Maybe the best compilation of an unknown artist I’ve picked up all year
Stranger Cole – I’m Living
Heavy as fuck dub reggae from 1976, cool phased out vibe with incredible lyrics
Mark Ernestus’ Ndagga Rhythm Force – Walo Walo Version
Idk how I slept on these releases – state of the art electronic production meets far out african percussiveness – 100% killer
Ironing Music – Don’t Wish it Away
A great forgotten Australian band that channels Young Marble Giants, check out the whole Oz Waves comp while you’re at it
Kahil El’Zabar’s Ritual Trio – Africanos/Latinos
The sweet spot where latin music perfectly collides with spiritual Jazz
Perdido En El Universo – Falcons
Sick Spanish space prog from 78 reminds me of Meddle-era Pink Floyd
Former Stereolab frontwoman nails it on her excellent new studio album, i think this song is the best one on the album
V/A Lots of Loving –
Insanely beautiful obscure reggae comp.. barely know any of the artists, but I tend to play this whole album almost once a day
If you sadly do not know Warthog I highly recommend you check them out. Absolutely raging Hardcore. They have played over here for Toms' Static Shock Festival and it was quite something.
