Eru Dangerspiel - Great News For The Modern Man Live At Auckland Town Hall CD/DVD
Tomorrow (26th July) sees the release of this epic concert on CD/DVD.If you were fortunate enough as I was to witness this gig then you'll know what to expect, headnodic grooves, gutsy vocals and more swing than an orangatang.
Below is a clip of "Maia" from the forthcoming DVD which features Mara TK and the legendary Whirimako Black. Stay tuned as Eru and crew bring the show back to Auckland on the 8th of October and down home to Wellington on the 9th.
Buy Tickets and get more info at LOOP. Get in early or miss out!
Nothing To Nobody
Arawak - Accadde A (1970 Squirrel Records)
Kicking off the week with some Jazzy grooves direct from Italian Arawak aka Benito Simoncini.Most likely recognised by beat heads from Quasimotos Real Eyes which lifts the track Accadde A Bali (which I believe loosely translates to Happened in Bali). Below are two other finely constructed cuts Accadde A Harlem & Accadde A Belfast.
Shouts to Victor Kiswell and Dust & Grooves for the knowledge. I recommend reading some of the interviews with Kiswell and other diggers over at D&G.

Flying Lotus - MmmHmm music video (taken from Cosmogramma)
Dope video I found posted on the UsedNeedles blog. This shit is off the chain! Big up Flying Lo!
Om - At Giza
Seriously good stoner rock from duo OM. This was perfect listening at 1am after watching nearly 5 hours of heavy metal. Shouts to Some Bastard who I believe will be witnessing their live show tonight. More like Lucky Bastard!
Double Time Spittin' Double Feature
back in the day Welli library had the absolute no-bullshit best collection of free cd's you ever saw. One time I picked this up.. it's stuck in my head ever since - 1998.. Divine Styler - Wordpower 2 Directrix. If you didnt know then get to know now. Out of print now but if your quick you can skafe the big flat black copy off here for under 5 pound as I have done. Safe!
Divine Stylez - The Grand Design
Plus it predated this next tune by about ten years - And possibly served as the blueprint.. hmm.
Jay Electronica and Zed Bias - The Cauldron

Brainfeeder Feature in RIP IT UP
Hip Drop Homie Martyn Pepperell has done a stand up job on this feature. Covering what is possibly the most active/interesting music community in the world right now. Go get Rip It Up for the scoop or head here to check it online.
Orchestra Of Spheres
Orchestra of Spheres have recently released their Nonagonic album, a genre bending effort which I can only describe as a Gypsy Sun Ra Archestra. If your keen on the album check your local record store (in NZ) or have a look over at the Sound & Light Exploration Society. Below is the opening track "Hypercube".Hermon Weems
This one goes out to Hermon Weems who passed away recently, who wrote and arranged a number of Northern Soul classics and designed logos and covers for the likes of Funkedelic and The Temptations.
Diggin 45's
Thought I'd share a couple 45's I picked up this week, nothing rare but kinda interesting and dope for samples, the first ones a 7" CBS put out of african tribal dances and the music that goes with it. Obviously lots of percussion to chop up as well as chanting and what not.
Also picked this up, its a comic book/record of Space 1999 a popular television program from back in the day. Full of samples for all those galactic beat heads.
