Steve Piccolo - Superior Genes music to the film 135 Grand Street New York 1979 by Ericka Berman, unique 8mm film which captures beautifully the driving energy and posturing of early No Wave bands performing in New York at the end of the 1970s. Punk rock and non-musicianship fight it out with art world attitude. Soul Jazz Records are releasing separately the DVD and the soundtrack CD. + info here

If you listened to my last mix you ever did see my interest in an artist who is called Arp. I discovered 2 years ago and since I keep coming back to listen to his music on his myspace. I have great admiration and fascination for his work and the people with whom they work, including The Alps. I am there fore very pleased to learn that The Alps will release their new album LE VOYAGE on May 25 2010 on LP & CD by UK label Type. For celebrate this new album, they've made a blissed-out summer mix called SUMMER TRIPS. You can listen to some exclusive tracks from their new album on the myspace jukebox.The Alps Myspace
Ganglians have a 'new' record "Monster Head Room" out May 10 through Berlin-based label Souterrain Transmissions. Their music is an incredible mix between Beach Boys and psychedelia, an album to listen again and again. It's already been out in America for a few months now, and you might have heard it. But not everybody has and The European release of Monster Head Room does contain two new tracks which aren't on the US release, cool :)

James Pants second album Seven Seals was released in December 2009 in total indifference. I began to despair about the Electronic Pop Rock Experimental music current, which seemed not innovative enough, albums a bit too light for my taste, I wanted new sounds, just the moon and then Hallelujah ! I went for a ride on the site of Stones Throw Records and I came across this wonderful album. Many people will compare to the many masters who have inspired and say that it's a bit risky to mix all these influences, I thank him for taking this risk ! James Pant - I saw you
PS: if you want to discover his many influences I urge you to listen to his mixtape like Ice Castle or Psychik Almanack. Moreover, the tracks of this album should be listened in the continuation as a mixtape, it's better ;)

"Quand on voit, les hommes parraissent différents. La petite fumée t'aidera à voir les hommes comme des fibres de lumière, comme de blanches toiles d'araignées. Des fils très fins qui vont de la tête au nombril. L'homme ressemble alors à un oeuf de fibres vivantes. Ses bras et ses jambes deviennent de lumineux poils de soie scintillant dans toutes les directions."
