Sundaze 2033

Hello, nothing new at F1 Hamilton scored his 92nd poll his wingman Bottas 2nd and the main Mercedes challenger Verstappen on 3rd, it could very well the same result tomorrow however last week Red Bull outsmarted the Mercedes team as wonderboy Verstappen took his first win of the season , could he win again in Spain , sure is it likely..no. Meanwhile in championsleague football by far the favorite team Man City lost to Lyon a team that failed to qualify for next years championsleague 1-3 bizarre, but then i guess the Man City players saw how Bayern Munich took apart Barcelona 8-2 and really didn't look forward to be deconstructed by the Germans in the upcoming semi-final, they have a few weeks holiday now and what about Pep Guardiola well his future at Man City is full of gloom now.


Today's artistis are a New Zealand electronica duo from Christchurch. ..... N'Joy

Frequencies Fall is a collection of remixes of tracks from Pitch Blacks Ape To Angel album, which, reflecting the duos wide ranging tastes and styles, encompasses nearly every genre of electronica and dance music. Ape to Angel was released last summer to much critical acclaim, and many a rave review. The collection opens with an Indo-lounge take on Lost in Translation by International Observer meets Horace (former Thompson Twin Tom Bailey and son), glides into Friends Electrics dubby breaks mix of Freefall, before going all old school DnB with Elements Turn, courtesy of Switch & pZ. Minuit ramp it up with their Plumps meets Daft Punk version of Freefall only for son.sines Flex to drop it right down Rhythm&Sound style! Hummel then takes things off on a total tangent with his eclectic take on Big Trouble Upstairs, leaving it to Spektrum drummer Isaac Tucker to pick up the pieces with his side projects Ithzs tech house with a touch of acid remix of Freefall. Renegade Soundwaves Danny Briottet engineered DJ Flix vs Red Stars sparse breaks version of The Random Smiler, followed by uber producer Youths festival tinged mix of Lost in Translation. Module adds bass and beats to the formerly ambient Empty Spaces Missing Units, then left coast psybient legend Bluetech slips and slides his way through Ape to Angel, followed by minimal techno producer Peak_Shift who glitches and glides into Flex, allowing The Big Chills Alucidnation to take things safely home with his Orb-esque version of Freefall (already a fave of Tom Middletons). Carefully sequenced to flow freely from beginning to end, this collection is both a smokers delight and a serious dose of audiophilia.

Rude Mechanicals is the 2007 album from the pioneering New Zealand electronica duo, Pitch Black. This stuff might be coming out of a small remote corner of the South Pacific, but that doesn’t lessen its quality and what we have here is yet another world class hybrid of Techno/Dub/Drum & Bass from Messrs Hodgson and Free. Another understated masterpiece to remind us in no uncertain terms that Pitch Black remain very much the benchmark for the genre in this little corner of the planet. Rude Mechanicals has been a fixture in my CD player for more than a year. Transport yourself …
