A really unknown gender from New York. Has a lovely post-punky mood, from this girls only group. With a killing flip side you also should know about! From 1982 on Oblique Records.

Hunee @ Dekmantel Amsterdam

We haven't heard our sweetheart Hunee playing for a long time now. We also didn't met for a few months, which is an even sadder thing but seeing him doing good and spreading great music and nice vibes all around is somewhat balm for our souls. Hugs to Huneeeeeeeeeeeee!

Eklipse - Reflexão

Brazil 1972

Some mix of Psychedelic and Bossa Nova, maybe Tropicália? Correct me if my classification is faulty. Nonetheless, the break at around 1:50 is mind blowing!

08/15 - 1000 gelbe Tennisbälle (1981)

                                       

Since i'm a big fan of the Tennis Sport. Sample-heavy synth-wave from Kurt Dahlke. Recorded in 1981, so even before the big Tennis hype took start in Germany with the likes of Boris Becker and Steffi Graf. Visionary Dahlke. Released on Konnekschen Records. What a label name, hahahah!

[Re-Upload] Joyce - Sweet Dreams (1977)

Only on 7-inch release featuring two sublime German Disco productions by the relatively unknown Studioband Joyce with a lot of spacey elements on both songs, giving them the icing on the cake. We call this a great two-sider(i'll upload the other track later)! More please!

From Scratch : GUNG HO 1,2,3

                                     

From Scratch (1980) Geoff Chapple, Phil Dadson, Wayne Laird, Don McGlashan. Gung Ho means 'work together" and takes it's title from the gung ho workers' co-operative movement established in China in 1938 by New Zealander(www.sonicsfromscratch.co.nz) Rewi Alley (1897 - 1987). The one hour work is in 7 sections, 3,4,5 through to 9,10,11, with each module exploring consecutive number, triadic and tonal permutations. Each module gets progressively longer as the piece evolves. The video is an excerpt of the 8,9,10 module only and is an edit from a performance of three modules originally filmed in 1980 for the TVNZ arts programme Kaleidescope, directed by Gray Taylor.

No more words to say....

De La Vel - That's the way i feel

Single extraction from their supa-rare LP, as most of the Reynolds releases do. Very mid to end 80s sounding, great mood, sophisticated, som' e-guitar. That's the way i like to feel.
