Portland analog enthusiast, Elliot Thomas – otherwise known as Etbonz - sent Gumar an unreleased work the other day. After hearing the driving motorik vessel of the rhythm, the cascades of melodic layers in hues of deepening red, orange and eventually a starry black night, the aesthetic tone was clear – a chase on a highway under the darkening sky. The track’s title referring to a just, non-dogmatic vigilante victory. Within the grandeur and freedom of openness and simultaneous escape, we find solace in the beat and the renegade sunset.

Behind The Music

Speaking of Clinton Street Records. A recent trip netted Weewl The Pleasure Principal, Fleetwood Mac's Mystery to Me, The "Personal Jesus" single, and Screamadelica all for under $20. The latter has provided a nostalgic rekindling for the warmth of production found on an album which features production cameo credits from Andrew Weatherall (who is known for many things, including this fantastic Force Tracks mix, Hypercity) and Alex Patterson of the Orb. Below is the Orb’s stellar dub of “Higher Than the Sun” which can be found on their Remix Project Double CD Auntie Aubrey’s Excursions Beyond the Call of Duty


This story comes full circle with this exclusive Suzanne Kraft future-house harbinger brought to us straight from the source. Diego Herrera splits his time between Portland, Los Angeles, New York and the rest of the world. He performs as Suzanne Kraft and his upcoming Greenflash EP comes out on the bustling Running Back Records and will feature an array of songs, but not this one which can be found here.

Maxin' in Rio

After working with Frank Zappa for most of the seventies, the synth pioneer as well as multi-instrumentalist George Duke resided in this tropical paradise also known as Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvelous City). It was there that he recorded the sensual masterpiece “A Brazilian Love Affair” in 1979.
Roane's edit of A Brazilian Love Affair triggered film visions. A seedy groove rises out of a film noir romance scene, inviting the films actors to dance lasciviously & raw. Bump and grind visions known only by the subconscious wet dreams of future tense Fred Astaire.
Listen or download for free directly from Roane's Bandcamp
Slowing down the groove and consulting mentor Lovefingers. Impresario of the fantastic international disco/groove imprint ESP, Lovefingers is also a member of the Stallions (the esteemed Lee Douglas being the other member), and curator of a truly expansive, yet equally intimate collection of music, the collection of his daily free mp3 uploads on lovefingers.org. This collection, which spanned over 900 days, accumulated in my library and slowly the man (or sensual love machine) began massaging his beautiful, warm style into me via massage-mosis.
This track, written and performed originally by the fantastic Italian singer-songwriter, Lucio Battisti, has been edited by Lovefingers for ultimate chill space. As always Lovefingers has told me a story about love, the feeling of the streets, and provided a clear vision of romance. It is the 779th daily track of his fingerness. Enjoy.
