Risqué III - Essence Of A Dream

Excellent deep house cut from K Alexi, 1987 Chicago. Bongos, talk like sex...bassline is pure shivers. Alexi & Mr. Lee's echoplexed "Just Say No" PSA is an added bonus that always confused me. Enjoy my 320 vinyl rip!

Elevate

Finesse - Elevate from Experimental 1/2 Hour on Vimeo.

"a lovely slice of smooth jacking wobble involving crew from Miracles Club and former Glass Candy. Elevate, the title track in their 12’’ in Ecstasy blasts us from the now like some lost transmission from 102.7 FM WBMX. Alchemical proficiency can’t be faked, all the elements are there and the right reaction ensues: muscles flex, a sequined dress rides up percolating hips, eyes roll, dance down a road to illumination signposted by erotic holograms."

For this long awaited debut 12" from FINESSE, Susan and Avalon teamed up with Rafael Fauria of Miracles Club, and your friends at Ecstasy, to bring you a striking and memorable underground House offering. With a flattering nod from 20 Jazz Funk Greats, the 12" vinyl will be available for purchase here [click the link on the right of this page to order]. You can also purchase digitally on iTunes.

Features the two jackin' Finesse tracks "Elevate" and "Believe" along with the dance floor ready "Lifted Mix" from Jason Kendig (Mr. International) that will send shivers down your spine, plus an expansive remix of "Believe" by our favorite West Coast morning star, C.L.A.W.S. (Bar25, liftyourheadup)

Don't miss the record release party in Portland at Valentines this Friday, with a screening of the music video!

Listen to the title track and download an mp3 of it here:

Blondes

Simian Mobile Disco

Rafael and I stepped out to see our new buddies Blondes play a couple nights ago. They were awesome! The kids were dressed super fun in their versions of rave culture and were even gobbling up handfuls of ecstasy in the bathroom. AWESOME :) The light show was pretty cool too.

Crazy-ass EYE, doing your thing.

Look at your crazy-ass, EYE. Doing your thing with those light-globes and some dudes on DSP in AEO. People all going ape-shit at Fuji-Rock. I could watch this all day and try and figure out if I could just sell all of my records, re-learn Japanese, buy a one-way ticket to Japan and be the V∞rdoms intern. That would work, right?
