Tokyo Sex Destruction – “The Sounds From Your Soul” mp3
Another soulful hard rocker from Tokyo Sex Destruction (from Spain, don’t you know). Drawing inspiration from the 80’s punk-funk of Gang Of Four (haven’t they become a major influence on contemporary music!) and other more rootsy elements like The Zombies and The Stones, they manage to produce a sound of their own, and it rocks. “The Sounds from Your Soul” baby. Hit it and quit it.

The Modern aka Matinee Club – “Discotheque Francais Spektrum 12i Mix”
The Modern aka Matinee Club delivers a most decadent pastry of disco new wave booty worship, in Discotheque Francais. It may be odd to talk about an “old school vocoder” track, but that’s what it is now, babies. What’s old is new and what’s new is older, or as the Buzzcocks once so eloquently put it, we are, “surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come.” Lovely straight up female and male lead vox as well, with analog-y glitchy synth-y bon-bons melting about. This music presents a revisionist glance at how disco in the future would look, if today we’re 1978! Got it? Good. It makes sense, really. Plus, I love this track. Very sexy, groovy, indie dance floor fun. Enjoy. But if you get your hair “feathered,” I cannot be held not responsible.

Seaspin – “Love Is A Fable”
Pitch bending a guitar amp’s noise makes a nice start to a thoroughly enjoyable grunge pop rocker with a sexy trippy female vocal. If “Love Is a Fable” then what is the moral? Well, the vocals and guitars on this track have such an orgy it almost doesn’t matter what the song means. Thoughtful lyrics though, too. Rock it.

Subscript – “Genetic Code” mp3
Subscript is such a perfect name for a DJ / electronic music artist / producer. In the end, a music composition is a software program, whether in the form of a score written by Bach and handed to a church organist in 1741, a piano roll reproducing the music of Scott Joplin in 1900, or a digital file, preserving in ones and zeros the work of composers and performers of every stripe today. The cerebral house rocker “Genetic Code” covers a wealth of sonic ground, subroutines running different samples and instruments, all mixed and mastered and finally downloaded as an mp3 file, to be faithfully read by our busy little CPUs and outputted as something we call music. Everything has changed. Everything is the same. Enjoy.
