Graphic design for dystopia enthusiasts

I stumbled upon this Andrew Leipzig chap whilst searching for something entirely different (the internet is good like that eh!) and my jaw dropped so far I now have an enormous bruise from when it busted through several floors with the velocity seen only in space travel, before finally coming to rest atop a snow capped mountain...?



Some of the most creative and forward design art I have seen – bizarre juxtapositions between the classical and the modern, traditional portraiture and steampunk
technology – and so it continues. Onwards and upwards, etc etc.

The only thing that springs into my mind when I look at his imagery is the phrase "ORWELLAIN AS PHUCK." Skeptics may disagree...

Greymatter Remix EP + bumpin' bloggery

I first stumbled across the name "Greymatter" on the Jus Like Music "Oscillations" compilations - as spoken about earlier in the scroll - with the track "Too Much". Dig that one outta yer archives to take the taste test...

Anyway, so Greymatter have a series of remix EPs on the go - the first featured mixes from the likes of the Romanian cosmonaught TRG and fresh 3024 lieutenant Illum Sphere. This one comes correct with stonking shuffles from another 3024 camp member and Hyperdub Illuminati...actually he just rules. Definitely my favourite of the forward-thinking, onward-moving funky soldiers: Altered Natives. African? vocals glide over broken funky beats...something for the clubs this winter I think!

Also featuring on this particular package is Mr Lager, with a smooth mix of "We Are One". This beat is reminicent of Mr Lager's style - remember his tune on Subfreq, "Tell Me"? Lovely hihat work pushes this tune through it's paces, and the percussion energises it so there is little doubt how well it would work on a (perhaps more educated) dancefloor.

Also a lovely house reworking of "Raw Root" from Klic - my house music spidey sense isn't as strong as it could be but I think it's choice...more on house later. It's a goodie.

"I love these remixes" - DJ Marky (BBE / BBC Radio 1)
"Brilliant! Full support!" - Simbad (Raw Fusion / G.A.M.M.)
"The Altered Natives remix is sick!" - Brackles (Planet Mu / Blunted Robots)
"Strong release from Greymatter" - Kidkanevil (First Word)

(Nice work of the external quoting there I thought!)

Even more fortuitously, you can pick up the Throwing Snow remix FREEEEEEEE from the Jus Like Music Bandcamp. Shot fullas.

This EP lands next monday...pick it up from everywhere you like to buy music - vinyl and digital will be swimming over the airwaves this time next week...(I Expect.)

Given the obsession with Burning Man, it wasn't too hard to give the Wolf + Lamb chaps a listen. These two New York types changed their music direction entirely upon visiting the desert for the first time, and now that week on playa is what influences them most throughout their year. I guess I can understand what they mean! Anyway, deep house and minimal techno...worthwhile listens - being the fan I am of afterhours parties and the fascination with the deep music one exposes oneself to there, this stuff really grabbed me.

Check out the Disorient Deep Playa mix, and the 2009 Afterhours series...

Righto, fun have.
