Tudo Bem / Luanda

Sao Paulo’s SELVAGEM drop a masterful double sider for Universal Cave 004. “Tudo Bem” is sunny, soulful AOR bliss. A tribute to a favorite Brazilian musician and an update for contemporary rotation. “Luanda” is hypnotic, psychedelic tropicalia. Truly digging deep, SELVAGEM give Universal Cave a taste of the Forward Deep & Free sounds of Balnearico from Brazil. Balnearico is the fusion of balearic and "balneário," the Portuguese word that is synonymous with beach.

Tomorrow Never Knows

 

Here's a slam dunk Beatles edit from Leftside Wobble...

BOOM BOOM in BK

This Chinese New Year Chris Rogy is bringing in the Dragon with a boom...

Those of you that know me, know I had a long stint in Southeast Asia. In that time, the sounds of 60s and 70s funk and soul grew on me fondly and I began to collect some of those sweet digs. In fact, way back when, in April of 2010, I posted on DBJ just before moving from Bangkok to Phnom Penh. In that post, I referenced Peter Doolan's Monrakplengthai blog. What you don't know, is when I contacted Peter - who I thought was in Boston at the time - I discovered he lived in my neighborhood in Bangkok, good ol' Ratchada Soi 3!

Shortly after, Peter and I got together and went digging for records in Chinatown before my flee. I gotta say, it was a very fruitful experience. With his knowledge of labels and producers we were able to come out with some serious dollar bin jams, only every jam there was a dollar, 'cause that's what a record costs.

Now, nearly 2 years later, Peter and I both live in Brooklyn and we've teamed up again, this time with vinyl connoisseur, Thai Beat/Khmer Psyche Rock enthusiast, Michael Martin (who recently came to visit me in Cambodia) to bring one of the most original soul nights Brooklyn's seen in a long while: BOOM BOOM.

- Chris Rogy

Boom Boom will premier at the Veronica People's Club in Brooklyn this Monday! For more info, check out the FB event here.

Legitimate dollar bin jam from one of my favorite bands of all time. Serious Mesoamerican shamanistic vibes on this pre-Stevie jammer, so put that in your peyote and eat it.

Robotique Mixtape 4.0 - Space Age Psychedelia

The new Robotique Mixtape, 'Space Age Psychedelia' is now ready for your consumption.

11 tracks in 59;30, with BPM ranging from 98-106. This is more of a listening mix than a dancefloor destroyer. From the rarest Italo and afrodisco to recent favorites, the intention was to invoke the influence of Baldelli, Marzio, Bepe Lodda and other proponents of the 'cosmic' sound or 'psychedelic disco' of early 80's Italy.

Hope y'all like. It is available exclusively through DJ Dirty's podcast:

True Vibes From Monomono - 1974

Not much to say about this one. Absolutely essential Afrobeat/psych from the legendary 1974 album from Monomono, The Dawn Of Awareness. If you see this album, grab it and never let it go. This is the lead-off track and is 4+ minutes of jammy Afrocentric psychedelic truth.

Out To Get You

Trower expanded his mind in Procol Harum and then moved onto a prolific solo career, complete with funky oddball LP cuts.

Philly heads: Tonight, I will be doing a guest spot at the Excess monthly at Medusa Lounge. I packed up a bunch of house records I haven't played in ages, as well as some classic acid. Bring chemicals and hang out.

Before that I will be at the Sweet Jane Vintage Clothing and Records (1742 E.Passyunk Ave.) First Friday bash from 7-10, playing slow and sleazy tunes. I don't think I packed anything above 115 BPM. Refreshments (read: free booze) will be served and there's a dope photo show to boot. Get it in!

Die Pause

Time for some twisted German sounds that start in the bottom of your gut and camp out in your cerebellum. For this, you can thank Kraut keyboard impresario Florian Fricke. This is the first track on the first Popol Vuh album, Affenstunde.

Good news, everyone!

In honor of Futurama being back on the air, I'd like to share the inspiration behind its theme song--the 1967 track composed by French electronic music pioneer Pierre Henry called "Psyché Rock." I wish I knew more about the video accompaniment because it too is pretty awesome. Check it!
