Utility Fog

Sunday, 9th of November, 2008

Newtown Festival day, always a hot/sunny one! I dashed in after an after-party, as you do, with a big pile of new stuff to foist on you as usual.
We had a number of contributions from Vol. 9 of the bip_hop generation series on (surprisingly) the BiP_HOp label, including Sydney's own Adrian Klumpes. Also in, is the new album from his amazing trio 3ofmillions, which is out in a couple of weeks and getting launched at the end of the month.
We've got the second in Funckarma's dubstep-influenced dubstoned series of EPs, plus a new album from the duo, and some new "mutant dubstep" from Cardopusher and something from the debut compilation also on the Greek label Spectraliquid.
The Bug (appearing at next year's Sydney Festival!) gives us a new single, and also his new duo with Ricky Ranking, King Midas Sound.
In the middle, a few pieces of a more "post"-classical bent, including looped and effected electric cello from Bela Emerson (not very classical at all), Jóhann Jóhannsson first covering Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark, and then combining orchestral and electronic music on his new album Fordlândia. Plus we had a couple of Max Richter's 24 Postcards in Full Colour.
Later back to the electronic with Funckarma, and also some amazing stuff from Abelcain & Cdatakill on the ever-reliable Ad Noiseam.

Amazingly, I didn't even cover all of the new loot from this week, so next week there'll be more lovely new sounds for ya.
