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!

Citroën Karin



Having no new models to reveal at the 1980 Paris Salon, Citroën stylist Trevor Fiore was given the go ahead to build a model (not a driveable car) for display.

The result was the trapezoidal Karin, clearly inspired by Michel Harmand's design for a GS Coupé.

A three seater with the driver being seated centrally and ahead of the two passengers, this layout pre-empted that of the McLaren F1 of 1992.

B-Movie: STAR CRASH

Starcrash (original Italian title Scontri stellari oltre la terza dimensione, literally "stellar clashes beyond the third dimension") is an Italian 1978 science fiction film, which was also released under the English title of The Adventures of Stella Star (in the US). The film is a low budget and is often regarded as a rip-off of Star Wars (1977). The screenplay was written by Luigi Cozzi (pen name Lewis Coates) and Nat Wachsberger, and Cozzi also directed the film. The cast included Marjoe Gortner, Caroline Munro, Robert Tessier, Christopher Plummer, and David Hasselhoff. The original music score was by Oscar winning composer John Barry (Midnight Cowboy, Goldfinger, Somewhere in Time, Dances with Wolves).

It was filmed in Technicolor with Dolby sound, and has a runtime of 94 minutes. The US release is 92 minutes, and received an MPAA rating of PG. The film is generally regarded by critics as a campy Z movie with cheap special effects and a weak, derivative plot that some people find unintentionally humorous. It appeared a couple of years after the original Star Wars and tries to re-mix the same elements, but without much success. It has been compared to Plan 9 from Outer Space.

Oh man, these italians! Cosmic bomba!

KEYNOTES - Enter - State (Drive On Mix) (1990)


We were playing records, talking records, checking records, signing records and of course, listening to records during our funny radio show last weekend. The term detroitish(which we found cruising the web) was the trigger for some serious talk followed by collective noisy laughter as it sounds a bit rowdy and somehow like a message of half-truth. It's funny and useable anyway. I was just checking through my collection for Detroit Techno the other day and got reminded on the KEYNOTES release by relatively unsung hero Art Forest, which came out on Detroit based Incognito Records. Art Forest always seems like he was the man working behind the curtain. I'm a fan of his tracks and Enter - State is amongst his very best. Frantic melodies and romantic strings shape into pure Detroit perfection. Art made art!

Trevor Jackson Interview - Metal Dance Compilation



Trevor Jackson has assembled an essential compilation for Strut Records, which contains his favourite tunes from the early till late eighties. His selection sheds light on great pieces of music, ranging from Post Punk to Ebm crossing Industrial and tellingly shows a great mixture between classic tracks and rare pieces. The former operator and designer of Output Recordings, whose works i always highly valued, showed once again that he has his fingers on the pulse of the time. In the interview above the man behind the Playgroup moniker sits down to speak about his musical influences, London nightlife and his entry to the design occupation. The compilation will be released in early Spring, so watch out, this is a must have!
