FIELD WORK - 1ST BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday to my pals at Field Work! If you're in London tomorrow, make sure you head to this. Great music, lovely vibe, bewitching lasers. With Kommune live (Land of Light/Black Merlin) and the ever fantastic Bahamian Moor.

MASSIMILIANO PAGLIARA

Was slow to this one. On constant rewind

RENE & ANGELA

Thanks to Rebekah!

HARRIS SIMON GROUP

Sums up the slow grind of factory toil very evocatively. Complete with the inevitable lunchtime jazz-samba breakdown by the water cooler.

HERB ALPERT

Lifting off with Herb. Farewell, Tijuana Brass. Farewell!

LOU REED

RIP Lou.

LINX

 Thanks for gifting me this 12" single, Penny! 

 

BARRABAS

Hoping this mellow blow will counter the not-so-mellow blow about to hit southern England. Thanks to Bahamian Will for the hook up!

JACOB DESVARIEUX

This is one of the best tunes I've stumbled across in a while. Jacob of Kassav fame.

FELIX KUBIN

Agitation Hamburg-style.

RISQUE

Stop badgering the DJ, Risque.

SHALAMAR

 

Mid-week shuffle.

MALO

AOR meltdown over at LCHQ.

ELOISE WHITAKER

No turning back.

JIM CAPALDI

Wild dawgs.

CARLY SIMON

One of the greats.

EMTIDI

Sowing seeds one by one.

DOPEGEMS

Slick cover of the Roy Ayers produced It's Your Love by Ethel Beatty. Nice.

GIGI MASIN & ALESSANDRO MONTI

Music From Memory are set to release Talk to the Sea in November, a new compilation of highlighting Gigi Masin's ambient wizardry. This beauty will feature.

 

MONSOON

Sheila Chandra's gang.

FLASH & THE PAN

 

Beware the midnight man!

PUNCH

Thanks to Laurence for hooking me up with this Field Work classic!

ROYALLE DELITE

Le freak.

MASAKI MATSUBARA

Yes!

ARTO LINDSAY

 

Taken from 'Noon Chill.'

MACADAM

I would advise telling your mama and papa if you're about to embark on a party weekend in Rio. Better to be cautious...

MWENDO DAWA

Jazz combo from Sweden. This is taken from their 1986 LP 'Dimensions.'
