Baiyon - Moebius Mix

bosbos — Sat, 16 May 2009 16:41:34 +0000

Baiyon is one Tomohisa Kuramitsu, an experimental artist in both the musical and graphical sense. Combining his talents into various artworks and musical releases over time has driven him to create his most well known work, namely 2008’s Pixeljunk Eden, a videogame which strongly incorporates the union between audio and visual to produce a fantastic sensory gameplay experience.

Le Monde Moebiusien (The Moebiusian World) is an exhibition currently being held at the International Manga Museum in Kyoto, Japan. Celebrating the works of renowned French graphical artist Moebius, the exhibition also allows for the inclusion of representatives of Japanese manga and animation to discuss his influence. Joining together for a live event, Baiyon soundtracked Moebius as he painted. Unfortunately the footage of this event could not be sourced - so you’ll have to close your eyes and imagine Moebius getting busy with the brushes - but you can at least hear what Baiyon had to offer musically, which amounts to some hefty techno and Brazillian beats galore.

BosBos - The Mind Bridge (A Ghost Box Tribute)

bosbos — Sat, 09 May 2009 15:06:25 +0000

Over the past half a decade or so, the Ghost Box label has quietly been carving a path into the strangest of musical territory. Reminiscent of the sounds found in hoary educational school films, or creepy eighties BBC shows like Chocky, much of the label’s output readily falls into the self-imposed genre known as ‘Hauntology’. Throw in some carefully inspired artwork by prominent graphic designer (and label founder) Julian House, and the authentic sense of nostalgia is complete. The Mind Bridge is a culmination of the twisted minds who frequent the GB roster, such as The Advisory Circle, Belbury Poly, The Focus Group and so on. Step into the other world of Ghost Box - and you may never return quite the same again.

BosBos - Technode

bosbos — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 23:40:09 +0000

Techno was, is and will forever be associated with the future. From the space-age pieces of music-making kit involved that are synonymous with the genre, to the forward-thinking sounds found in all manner of hard to find albums and expensive import 12 inches, techno is always one step ahead of the rest of the pack. Conversely, the idea for this mix has been idling around in the past for some time. Bringing to the fore some classic tracks from many moons ago, Technode is a minor tribute to a major associate - namely one Dave Winter. A true futurist, his lust for anything techno (and beyond) was effortlessly inspiring; always first with the knowledge on a new label or must-listen EP, generously handing over tapes of strange and exciting music, a huge debt is owed to his guiding light in the darker reaches of the electronic end of the music spectrum… which is where you’re headed with Technode.

BosBos - A Day At The Raves

bosbos — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:43:17 +0000

‘Deep Tunes & Bleep Tones’ is how things roll for this trip on the old skool rave bus. Dipping a toe in the acid-soaked waters of the late eighties and early nineties, you’ll experience some wicked bleep sounds, club tracks that crossed over to the pop charts all mixed up in a ravey bundle. Show your age by recognising every tune, or make everyone jealous of how young you are by denying knowledge of the whole lot - either way, have fun with some great music.

BosBos - Last Man Standing

bosbos — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 09:44:25 +0000

Seedy beats and some mighty rude bass are the order of the day for Last Man Standing. This set comes right out of the sub-basement level of the club, where only the brave dare enter (and foolhardy accidentally walk into). The tracklist should tell you all you need to know, but an honourable mention goes to King Cannibal who applies devastating frequencies at the best of times, but really switches up through the gears with the Qemists remix. Keep a hand on the volume dial as you’ll be turning it up or down… depending on your tolerance levels!

BosBos - tDR. The Death of a Republic.

bosbos — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 19:46:41 +0000

This week brought the news that longtime UK graphic design studio The Designers Republic has closed for business. With over 20 years in the business across various media, tDR was a beacon of originality, arguably at their peak during the mid to late nineties. At the time the studio could do no wrong, producing a seemingly endless run of fantastical sleeve art, predominantly for Warp Records. This mix is a tribute to an era when the names Warp and The Designers Republic were so intrinsically linked, they may as well have been the same company, and all this from Sheffield in the North of England (where it’s always sunny!). All tracks are taken from Warp releases (bar one) where the artwork was created by tDR. Also, all are in chronological order of release, starting way back in 1990 right up to 2008. Hit the jump to take a look at the sleeves involved and for that all important download link. Will tDR ever see a resurrection? Only time will tell.

BosBos - The Appearance Of A Thousand Ghosts On Christmas Eve

bosbos — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 19:46:52 +0000

Horror can take many forms, but music is far down most people’s list of things that scare them. A creepy insect roaming along the wall or a twisted horror movie perhaps, but few would say that music gives them the scares. Well to those we say… it’s time for music to scare you! This arrangement was forged in the twisted fires for the annual Ninja Tune forum swap in the year you mortals call 2008, overseen this time round in fine form by Soleboy. Consisting of a distribution method which confounds the modern age of digital mp3 devilry, mixed or compiled CDs are swapped between willing participants, resulting in a bounty of sounds to last you through the festering winter months.

Found herein are ungodly sounds, soaked in blood and condemned to hell (and your stereo, of course). Listen well, and sleep tight - for demons come for you in the night…

Solid Steel: King Cannibal - Cannibalism 08

bosbos — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 15:41:10 +0000

This one has already done the rounds a few months back, but if you missed it first time round, now’s your chance to get down with this brutal mix courtesy of King Cannibal. After a couple of promising solo 12-inch efforts released on both Combat and Rag & Bone Records, KC signed up to Ninja Tune in late 2008, cementing his position on the label with the universally acclaimed Aragami Style (the B-side, ‘Flower Of Flesh And Blood’ is more than the equal of the title track - don’t sleep). Put together for Solid Steel, Cannibalism 08 takes you into the mindset of KC, twisting and turning across the drum and bass, jungle and downright rude electronic spectrum. Put it on your speakers, and put King Cannibal on your ‘to watch’ list in 2009. Link and tracklisting after the jump.

Vintage Solid Steel: Strictly Kev - The Solid Steel Sound Museum

bosbos — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 20:15:27 +0000

Happy New Year! Welcome to bosbos.net, back for 2009 and still delivering all the aural delights your ears can handle. Here’s a stormer from Steel stalwart Strictly Kev, who never disappoints with this sort of thing - the tracklistings listed within definitely reveal yet another winner. As an extra treat for you, we even have all two hours available for download right here - so start the new year as you mean to go on… Happy New Steel! Over to Kev…

DK asked Matt, Jon, PC and myself to make a mix that encapsulated our favourite moments from our time on Solid Steel, records that meant a lot to us and summed up the spirit of the show. This is, of course, a daunting task and instead of turning in one hour I did two, hosted by Ken Nordine as he takes us around the Solid Steel Sound Museum in my head. Imagine turning on the radio and every channel was playing Solid Steel from a different year, some stations bleeding through to others, but always in a good way. Keep up there at the back and no touching the exhibits… you get a quick peek and then it’s off again.

To illustrate the mix the image was taken at a place called ‘The Treasury’ in Johannesburg, South Africa. I took the fifteen images that make it up nearly ten years ago, the whole 5th floor of a warehouse was filled with records which Amon Tobin, Kid Koala, PC and myself got the chance to raid one afternoon back in ‘99. The other floors were filled with books, antiques and vintage recording gear, it was a truly daunting place and I doubt it’s still there. I found albums of African percussion alongside complete runs of KPM library records, all in pristine condition. There were side rooms with filing cabinets full of 78’s and 45s in boxes all over, just way too much to take in.
