Podcasts about spannered's oddcast

The latest instalment of Spannered's Oddcast series comes from none other than Glasgow's Dave Donnelly, aka Production Unit. Dave's no stranger to these pages, having previously contributed two short works of fiction about talking cows and a rather exquisite review of Autechre's Quaristice album. Formerly a member of Glasgow's now-dispanded electronica trio the Marcia Blaine School For Girls (along with Ruaridh Law, aka The Village Orchestra), Dave's had outings under his Production Unit guise on keen-eared labels such as Highpoint Lowlife and Stuff Records. He currently has releases primed and ready for Broken20 (which helps to run with Law) and Phuturelabs. The Broken20 release, titled ICU Tracks, is a particularly intense body of work —  a stark techno set (suitably supported by remixes from Perc and Emptyset's Paul Purgas) constructed from the sound of hospital machines. A while back, just after we got a whiff of his Mature Cheedar Dadcast for Techno Dads, we asked Dave if he'd pick up the Oddcast gauntlet for Spannered — and he's done so with gusto. "The theme is 'other music'" he tells us, "stuff that I'd probably never normally put in a mix." Well, we think he deserves one fat cigar for this epic two-hour selection, chock-full of beauty and strangeness in equal measures — and a large plastic beaker of warm sambuca for holding the dubious accolade of being the first (and probably last) mix on Spannered to feature the versatile delights of the legendary Bernard Cribbins.

El Kano of London's Adverse Camber collective was one of the first artists to record a mix for Spannered when the site launched back in 2006. Flex (his fourth mix to be hosted on Spannered — check also 2007's Medication Time and this wonderful contribution to Spannered's Oddcast series) finds him on unstoppable form, spooning out all manner of mutoid ragga beats and weird bruck-stepping bassbin shit over the course of an hour and three quarters.   Download artwork here.   Tracklisting: Filastine - Blung David Last feat Zulu - Ghettoblaster Major Lazer feat Turbulence - Anything Goes Pole - Sylenstein (Deadbeat Remix) Tego Calderón - Ni Fu Ni Fa Monkeysteak - Tigris Riddim Filastine vs Maga Bo feat Mario z - Se Liga Flying Lotus - Melt!

It's been just over a year now since the delightful DJ Bus Replacement Service — ably assisted on mic duties by MC Toilet — made her site debut. The eighth installment of Spannered's Oddcast series pointed towards an almost virtuosic understanding of that much-maligned genre: outsider music.   We've been sitting on this follow-up mix for some months now, allowing the dense flavours to fustily mature, much like a corked bottle of cheap wine or a furry hunk of airing cupboard-ripened camembert.   Special credit to Tony Surgeon for 'Turd Polisher' duties.   "DJ Bus Replacement Service is... the human centipede... of music." — David Cameron (probably quoted out of context).    Tracklisting: Master Gunnery Sergeant Bill Dower - Warm-Up: Daily Seven - Gonna Fly Now (Rocky's Theme) Kromestar vs. Cotti - Mozart 3000 Heino - Karamba, Karacho, Ein Whisky (In Rio De Janeiro) The Alexandrov Red Army Ensemble of Leningrad - California Girls Charlie The Hamster - Remember the Sabbath Day Cycle Sluts From Hell - I Wish You Were a Beer Eddy Huntington - Meet My Friend Danny Boy & The Serious Party Gods - Castro Boy (Somewhat Normal Version) E Pak Sa - Gabba Darei (Out of Key Remix) Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Tiroler Kaboemsch 2 Live Jews - Oy!

Known in electronic music circles for his releases on Seed Records, Charles Matthews, aka Ardisson has spent much of the last few years immersing himself in music from the Indonesian islands of Bali and Java. This, the seventh installment of Spannered's Oddcast series, is a selection of music from Bali.   'This is a mix of various styles of Balinese music you can find on CD outside of Bali. Some of my friends complain that gamelan sounds a bit samey so I wanted to make sure there was a nice variety of timbres. There's a bit of genggong, gambuh, beleganjur, kecak... gamelan gambang, angklung and gong gede... it doesn't even scrape the surface though. I had fun mixing it so a couple of bits have come out a tad weird. I can't find the tracklisting right now but if you like this then a good place to start is Music From the Morning of the World on Nonesuch Recordings.' Ardisson, London 2009

A warm welcome to James Elphick, aka Mys-Elf, art director and organiser of London's heady Guerilla Zoo events, and sonic conjurer behind the sixth instalment of Spannered's Oddcast series.   Entitled A Room With a View, Oddcast #6 slides, drifts, hops and chops between sublime electronica, infectious folk-rock, Latin rhythms, crackly cinematic samples and queasy instrumental hip hop; we've had it on heavy rotation since he sent it in to us (we particularly recommend it for long train journeys across the UK, accompanied by a four pack of Guinness). If you're feeling the boy's style, we recommend you head on over to his MurdochSpace page and check out his tunes too.   Guerrilla Zoo is a London-based art/music/performance collective, featuring a slew of cool bands, live artists and performance acts from around the capital. For more info on forthcoming events and other mischief they're getting up to, check the site here.   Tracklisting (*** denotes unknown trackname): Controller 7 — The World Outside My Door Controller 7 — Test #4 The White Stripes — Prickly Thorn, But Sweetly Worn Amon Tobin — Horsefish The Mars Volta — Con Safo The Chamber Brothers — Love, Peace and Happiness Centepede — Clover.Come Together Con Julian y Sucombo — Enyere Kumbara Palmelra - Tapa Jos 1, R, P, 3  — Tema de Soninha Seguida Mam Bo — Rock The Mars Volta — Day of the Baphomets ?

Last year we asked Rory Lemon, aka Randomoidz, if he'd be kind enough to put his boundless knowledge of ska music to good use and knock up a contribution to Spannered's Oddcast series. Not only did jump at the chance, but he opted for a two-pronged attack. Now we're pleased to unleash the first instalment: a properly spannered romp through choice cuts from his personal, erm, skarchive.   Rory did compile a tracklisting, but sadly it was scrawled on a piece of paper that was lost in the aftermath of a camembert fondue party. Hopefully he'll get a chance to write it all out again for us at some point (no mean feat, given the mix contains roughly a hundred tracks), but seeing as the sequel is almost upon us, we thought we'd best get part one out the door without further delay.   Expect appearances from the Skatalites, The Slackers, The Specials, Prince Buster, Hepcat, and even Rolf Harris. Keep it locked for part two!
