Modcast #153: Raf Daddy
Raf Daddy - aka Raphael Rundell - met Joe Goddard (taking time out from his day job as one fifth of Hot Chip) through a party scene that saw them share deck duties at the legendary Greco-Roman parties.
Upon venturing into the studio in an attempt to replicate some of the records that they'd lost themselves in the night before, Raf found himself laying down vocals over Joe's skipping, bassomatic backing tracks safe in the knowledge that they'd soon be replaced by someone with sweeter, more melodious tones. In the end, it was Raf's voice that characterized and personalized The 2 Bears.
If you're free and feeling spontaneous this weekend, he's playing FOR 2013 in Croatia, tickets available here. EX-YU passport holders are eligible for discounted tickets, grab yours.
Win: Super Rare 2manydjs Giveaway
Those attending FOR 2013 this weekend are eligible to win one of 3 extremely rare 2manydjs mix CD packs.
These mixtapes are meticulously programmed by 'The Dee Wees', aka 2ManyDJs' Dewaele brothers, and released by culture club PAM for their under the counter mix CD racket in 2007 and 2009. They have never been commercially available, traded like the underground currency amongst the inner sanctum. PAMMIX008 is a 2CD set celebrating the rawest Chicago house Trax (with PAM residents Jerkmaster Perks & Rohie Rockin Romanian raising the steaks on disc due) while PAMMIX007 is a slomo journey of unidentified objects entitled 'Spa'z The Place' with mind toasting artwork from Misha Hollenbach.
Enter via Facebook. You'll need to have tickets to FOR 2013 to enter, so grab yours here. Discounted rates available here for EX-YU passport holders.
Watch: Pond - Xanman
The second track from Pond's upcoming 5th album Hobo Rocket is in the wild! 'Xanman' is a sonic onslaught with the Perth boys at their psychedelic, jamming best. Hobo Rocket is out August 2nd (AUS), August 5th (UK/EU), August 6th (USA).
Pre-orders are now available for the new album, get in early for the digital release via iTunes or on the Modshop for the vinyl. Check out the album announcement for full details on this new album, including first track 'Giant Tortoise'.
Recommends: Leon Vynehall
In a world saturated with perfectly quantised and clinical sounding electronic productions, someone as raw and real as Leon Vynehall sticks out for miles. The Brighton producer oscillates between woozy and sharp, choppy sample house, drawing from a broad palette impossible to pigeon hole, with a romantic yesteryear feel that's on par with back in the day.
Marking his territory over 4 x EPs including a 2-tracker on George Fitzgerald's ManMakeMusic label, Vynehall has also spread his wings in collaboration with Christian Piers as Laszlo Dancehall. Web watchers stay glued to Boiler Room tomorrow to catch them spinning round and round as part of the ManMakeMusic takeover.
