The Children's Hour EP (Josephine Foster, Andy Bar)

Amazing little folk EP recorded in St. Gregory's church, Chicago, 2002. These songs are bigger than life and full of emotion. Ripped here at a full 320kpbs so you can enjoy the acoustics of the church.

Charlie Cooper, you will be missed

With a heavy heart, I'd like to pay my respects to Charlie Cooper who passed away on Jan 22, 2009. Charlie was one half of the Chicago electronic duo, Telefon Tel Aviv. Their latest album, Immolate Yourself (available from iTunes, DRM-free) on BPitch Control, was another addition to their excellent discography that explores ambient electronic sounds with subtle vocals and sometimes classic arrangements (string orchestras, etc). For anyone who was in Chicago through the Play @ Danny's or Weekend Record days, or still in the city today, Charlie was sure to make an impression on their lives, if not through sight then through sound.

Josh posted his own heartfelt goodbye on their myspace blog.

EZ Does It Ska

DJ Bylamplight drops the ska / jazz tunes as part three of the EZ Does It series, right behind the dub and rocksteady themes. The groove surface is pretty rough on some of these but, alas, it's near impossible to find clean 45s from Jamaica these days.

EZ Does It Dub

Ahh, the elusive dub side ... often tucked away on the B-side of a hit, appearing in only a few pressings, so fun to find these flips. Here's the dub side to EZ Does It Rocksteady which brings us to part two of DJ Bylamplight's reggae 7" series. Check back in a few days for part three, the ska comp!

Oblomow's Frozen Stolen Dubs

These mixes take you floating around the room and are the perfect way to get used to the low frequencies of dubstep, even if you're not a big fan of this genre these two recordings start off pretty minimal, almost ambient-like.. slowly changing into that known & familiar dubsound we love since the seventies and by the end of the second mix almost evolving to contemporary minimal-tech-house but always with this nice low frequency that keeps buzzing in your stomach and will lift you into ultimate relaxation, enjoy!
