It was to my surprise to find some astonishing tracks in the inbox sent over by Pharoah Zap of Melbourne, Australia. His myspace is pretty outdated but we should expect to see him back on the rise considering these amazing tracks he sent us. These tracks are from his Discreole Edits Ep and are a tribute to Tropical-Disco, 90's soca, and Club funk. Amazing samples in the songs that give you an exotic sense of feeling running through your veins. Great for starting a platonic night outdoors with your lovers and friends.

Cassette Reviews

The following cassettes will be talked about:



=======================================================================================================
Ilegal - "Demo"
Ilegal are from Montreal, Quebec CANADA. Simon from Bombs Away(Canada) and Funeral(Pdx) plays guitar and a member of Selfish/Kykloopien Sukupuutto(Finland) plays drums. Their style is raw punk/fast hardcore while singing in Spanish. Not too sure what their influences are but they sound pretty good. Look out for the new recordings on Todo Destruido and Lengua Armada soon.

=================================================================================
Order - "Kombinat"
This cassette compiles their last two available 7"'s. What I mean by that is that their last 7", Donki, was not available for sale. Leave it to the Japanese to pull this kind of stunt. Eddie and I just recently had a conversation about this sort of thing. Anyways, Both these REAL 7"'s are sold out as is this tape that compiles both releases. Order play Japanese Punk like you've never heard it before with great hooks and lots of sing-a-long parts. I couldn't compare them to any other band. Maybe because i only know 15% of the Japanese (PUNK) bands. Too poor to know the rest.

=========================================================================
Dead Noise - "Noize Violence"
This band is good if you've never heard CONFUSE. Since I'm familiar with the latter, this band is alright. I like their attempt at mimicking CONFUSE's whiny vocals on some songs, although not quite getting it right. The band name might suggest to you the type of music they play because they "borrow" the name from a LEBENDEN TOTEN E.p.; They sound more crust to me than noisy. This is only the demo so there might be an improvement in the 7" sound. I'll play that later.

=============================================================================================
Semen - "Masas Obedientes Individuos Dominantes"
This band is from Spain and play D-Beat influenced hardcore. I cannot help but eat it all up. From the art, lyrics, and music, this cassette is punk as fuck!! It even includes a supplemental booklet. As i began relaxing listening to this, a familiar tune invaded my eardrums. Semen have gone ahead and covered DESTRUCCION's "Makineros Hijos De Puta". I have no gripes or complaints about this because DESTRUCCION play the D-Beat perfectly. Normally, it is unusual for a new band to cover a recent bands material, but in this case, it is understandable. Solo para punks.

If you are looking for something different than just any ordinary, boring punk - These bands are for you. Look for more reviews in the near future.

SHUDDUP AND LISTEN TO IT

top billin always successes in bringing you the most banging house music you can ask for. based out of helsinki, finland these dudes know how to take you back to your old school hip-hop, dancehall, boogie, and house roots.

listen to it, jam it with your friends, pop open a bottle wine and dance to this shit!

I seriously can't think of any other label that has introduced me to such classic music that makes me want to dance and rage!!



P.S. MUCH THANXXX TO THOSE WHO CAME TO THE ARTWALK AND SUPPORTED!! EXTRA THANXX TO SEWN LEATHER AND BABYS LUNCH FOR GRACING US WITH THEIR PRESENCE
