PSFK Good Ideas Salon

Piers Fawkes asked me to mention the next PSFK conference in the UK, and for good reason: the lineup looks fantastic. I'd be on the lookout for Nicolas Roope, the Penguin people, the BBC (the title 'vision development executive' rings a bit hollow but in the case of the BBC that should be worthwile) and especially Cameron Leslie from Fabric.

I won't be going myself because it looks like I'll be here, lucky I've already got some first hand experience of Fabric then... But seriously: go there if you can, it promises to be a lot more inspiring than the usual big name conferences everyone goes to, and there's bound to be an interesting audience as well.

Ears & Feet

  • Beyond The Wizards Sleeve: Beyond The Wizards Sleeve Ark 1
    Erol Alkan and Richard Norris on a psychedelic trip with Kraut- and Postrock influences all over. Great stuff but a tad harder to find, check out the Rough Trade webstore if you're interested.
  • Various Artists -

    Various Artists: Kitsune Maison Vol.6
    Latest in an excellent series, with highlights from Lo-Fi-Fnk and Grovesnor (a great Hot Chip remix)

  • Various Artists -

    Various Artists: Ed Rec Vol.3
    Pedro Winter and the boys from the Ed Banger label are still very much alive. Some purists might try and tell you otherwise but they've still got it. Not for the neurotics among us though.

  • Hollywood Mon Amour -

    Hollywood Mon Amour: Hollywood Mon Amour
    I'd never take this out on the basis of the tracklist, but the female vocals and the attention to detail to every last song on here makes it into something truly fantastic.

  • Rodrigo Y Gabriela -

    Rodrigo Y Gabriela: Rodrigo Y Gabriela [CD + DVD]
    Oooh, fantastic! Sexy sweet latin american guitar sounds, but uptempo with a tight rhythm and more than enough balls.

  • Boys Noize -

    Boys Noize: Bugged Out Presents Suck My Deck: Mixed By Boys Noize
    Excellent overview of some of the hottest stuff from the past years (with some rare, reworked classics dropped in for good measure). If you want to get a taste of what a dirty dancefloor can offer today, this is a fantastic place to start...

  • Carl Craig -

    Carl Craig: Sessions
    Still going strong after so many years, and this (rare) compilation makes it that much clearer. And 'throw' will get you every time...

  • Hercules & Love Affair -

    Hercules & Love Affair: Hercules and Love Affair
    Ooooh, disco as it should be... Do check out the Frankie Knuckles remix of Blind as well.

  • Alter Ego -

    Alter Ego: Why Not ?!
    Funhouse techno redefined. Completely bonkers and all the better for it.

  • Daft Punk -

    Daft Punk: Alive 2007
    If you had not noticed, I love this album... this is Daft Punk at their best. Harder, faster, better than a normal album, and the crowd noise just makes it better
