LEISURE CENTRALE MIX 3

LC3 - LIMEADE by Leisurezentrum on Mixcloud

 Here's a mix I've made which is a little more uptempo than the last two. I didn't want to come across as a downbeat kinda guy. I'm quite pleased with it apart from a few off segues here and there - I'm not Skrillex quite yet. It also closes with a number by my good friend Ruth Gordon which I've been meaning to post for a while. Top! This mix was made with soft beverages very much on the mind. I recommend you fetch yourself one. Tracklist:

 

 1. Né Ladeiras - Alhur

 2. Le Macchine - The Edge of Time

3. Marcos Valle - Nao Tem Nado Nao

4. Mudd & Pollard - Mawson's Walk

 5. Cal Tjader - Leyte

 6. Shadowfax - Tsunami

7. Illusion Orchestra - Autumn Leaves

 8. Merit Hemmingson - Nature Boy

 9. Kate B - Recashed

10. Clinic - Miss You (Daniele Baldelli & DJ Rocca Rmx)

 11. David Torn - Snapping The Hollow Reed

 12. Ruth Gordon & Russell Wickwar - Eye of the Sun

 

DR CALCULUS

More gripping than ER's eighth season.

FEZ COMBO

Something for the jazz dancers!

CHARI CHARI

Kaoru Inoue in his Chari Chari guise. Performing a swivel-hipped salsa routine in a dazzling blue, sequined jacket.

ACE & THE SANDMAN

This is a standout cut featured on the new (and vast) 'Acid Rain' compilation selected by Terry Farley. Tough exterior, soft centre.

BARNT

Something quite epic about this one. Journey music.

ROBIN GIBB

Thanks to Alexis!

MARK-ALMOND BAND

Don't be fooled - this isn't a tune from Merseyside's puckish synth-pop wiz. It's by two melancholy flaneurs called John.

PIERO PICCIONI

 Piero's gentle caresses.

SPIKE DRIVERS

Psyche, brothers.

RYUICHI SAKAMOTO

 

Thoughtfulness found in a North Devon charity shop.

ROMANELLI

 

Urgency found in a North Devon charity shop.

YOSHIO SUZUKI

 

Tranquility found in a North Devon charity shop.

ROBBIE DUPREE

 

Robbie's got something he needs to get off his chest.

WÜTRIO

 

I should really just make this blog a Growing Bin fan site. Endless quality on GB's YouTube channel.

FILA BRAZILIA

 

This music does more than furnish a room; it stuffs the room full of anxiety.

CHARLIE ROUSE

 

Charlie and the gang tackle the finest melody the world has ever seen. With aplomb. 

CARMODY

As featured on the 'Danza Meccanica' and 'Mutazione' compilations. Two faultless compilations featuring agitated Italian electronic and new wave from the eighties.

LEISURE CENTRALE'S 1ST BIRTHDAY!

It's my first birthday today!

BRUNO NICOLAI

.

High drama, high romance. Gotta love Bruno!

MELVIN BLISS

RZA's fave.

TONY, CARO & JOHN

Tony, Caro & John up to their usual japes.

ZZ TOP

"Come nestle into my beard and drift off to sleep..."

CAROL COOL

Lustier than Diana 'Big Prude' Ross.

DESSAU

This is how that "You've had a bad day, really bad day..." song should have sounded. Big scream going on on the album cover as well. Not a happy bunny.

BLACK DISCO & ALEXIS LE-TAN ET AL

Fever dream.

TATSURO YAMASHITA

A big ol' sigh of a tune. Smashing!

ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM

Unsettlingly woozy bossa-nova tune. Jobim's been on the piss.

EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL

Bossa's big in Hull.

CHATEAU FLIGHT

Steve Moore remixing Chateau Flight = Oh, Mummy!

LINDA MIRADA

The Secret Circuit mix of this track is so great - track it down. If I were a Melody Maker hack circa 1998 I'd say that it sounds like Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson on a yacht circling Majorca with Sade and some ropey hangers-on from Spiral Tribe rave. On shrooms. The original's pretty hot as well (see above).

MOEBIUS, CONNY PLANK & MAYO THOMPSON

Well, this is a bit exciting; I wasn't aware that these fellas had hooked up. Wonderfully hyperactive drum effects and barking guide Mayo on his way-o.
