Pugh - Ja, dä ä dä!

Edgy Swedish psyche / folk, ripped from LP: Pugh - Ja, dä ä dä!. Great album, goes all over the place. You might recognize the first 10 secs as a sample from DJ Shadow's Mutual Slump. LP is in high demand now (no thanks to Shadow! :)) so it took me a while to snag one. Enjoy!

Stock sale impro by Lowdjo

The digital world has slowly been killing the record industry, while almost everybody has started downloading the last few years, including me, record sales went down in every musical genre.. so far i thought the more specialised scenes like the dj-world would always keep buying vinyl but i notice that even a lot of my 'active' friends in the dj world switched to digital. By this i mean ordering their 'dj-tools' in high-quality-digital-form, next to downloading unreleased tracks to use in their sets. By doing this, small and even big businesses get bankrupt and can't supply people like me with excellent, fresh and avantgardistic music..
On the other hand, the technological evolution created amazing machines that allows us, dj's, to use the digital formats like old and dusty Elvis Presley records and try to create the same atmosphere, only with endless possibilities and effects to manipulate the original sound.

This summer i went to a couple of stock sales in the 'record biz' of record stores that closed their doors and one big distributor in Belgium, Lowlands (article in dutch). Next to this big distributor their was my favourite record store in Brussels and definitely the most interesting one in Belgium, called Le Bonheur - "Epicerie Audiovisuelle". Unfortunately i won't be able to shop there anymore and supply you listeners with excerpts from this recordshop.. thankfully there's still something like mailorder!

So i got my hands on something like a 100 mint condition vinyls in different formats for half or less the original price and recorded this mix after listening once to each record.. here's a 80 minute-impro-recording of a couple of hours of listening pleasure, enjoy!

Theme To "Welcome Back America"

Dear World, we're back. America is back! And it never felt so good. Thank you for being patient with us. The truth is we've been waiting longer than 8 years for this. We've been waiting our whole lives.

America is a culturally diverse place -- our communities are deep and our voices are many. The movement that elected Barack Obama as our next president is about emerging from dark times to take back our country. It's about declaring peace as a virtue. It's about curbing financial greed and putting a little more responsibility and accountability on our citizens. It's about building a future for our children through education, health, conservation, and all the other liberties we've been missing out on. Most importantly, World, it's about renewing our citizenship on planet earth.

Words can't express the state of euphoria we're in over this! It kinda feels like the first time you get laid; your legs are shaky and you have a permanent smile on your face all day. To help you "feel" me, I put together this mix, special for you.

Yours, DJ Bylamplight
