Well, another Christmas has come and gone. New Year's Eve is tomorrow, and a fresh start begins. Before the year ends, I thought I had better post this playlist. Hope you enjoyed it.
Tracklist:
1. Louis Austen - One Night In Rio - Louis is a classically trained crooner from Austria, and has been a part of the Euro electronic scene since the 90's. His output has included a duet with famed performance artist, Peaches. He has adapted the swing era crooner sound to modern day jazz rhythms and electronica, creating a sometimes cheezy sound.
2. Washington - Cement - Her full name is Megan Washington, but in her home of Melbourne, Australia she is known simply as Washington. "Cement" was initially released in 2009 on her "How To Tame Lions" EP, but due to the success of the song, it drove her 2010 "I Believe You Liar" album to #3 in the Australian Album Charts. This success also garnered her two 2010 ARIA Music Awards, for "Best Female Artist" and "Breakthrough Artist".
3. Casey Spooner - Faye Dunaway - American artist and musician, Casey Spooner's claim to fame is as half of the alt-rock band, Fischerspooner. Click on the song I.D. link to access his website, where you'll find a free download of the song available.
4. Chickenman - Costume Shop - I really didn't expect to throw any comedy pieces in my mix, but I suddenly got a tad nostalgic for this mid 60's radio show. After some searching on the net, I discovered this "bit" as a free download (here - click on the "Listen to the origin of Chickenman" link). It's basically a sample intended to get you to buy the set of CD's containing 273 episodes. I found it a great intro for anyone not familiar with it, as well as a humorous trip down memory lane.
5. Colourbox - Baby I Love You So (12") - Released on the 4AD label in 2006, Colourbox were unlike the rest of their stablemates, such as The Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance, since their sound wa reggae and dub based, often including snippets of found sound and dialogue from various film sources. This track, a Augustus Pablo cover, is a perfect example of their dub and dialogue collages. The band went on to collaborate with Britpop band A.R. Kane under the name M/A/R/R/S, and left their mark in dance music history with "Pump Up The Volume".
Hope you stop by in the new year. Thanks for dropping by, and keep on tuning into Radiojive. You just never know what he'll play next.....
