I an excited to see the DJ Kicks compilatin by Annie. Yes, Ms ‘Chewing Gum’ is much more than a Kylie rip. She is acually an accomplihsed DJ as well (heck, Rolling Stone gave this comp 3 stars!) It has an interesting track selection and a few exclusive Annie tracks. It takes a bit to warm up, but it is worth the wait!

Speaking of excitment, the next release to rock me is ‘The Play At Home Version’ by Boomish! Yes, the exclimation point is part of the name… In an age where is seems like cover art and concept is becoming less important to the iPod generation, Boomish! comes out with this. The band consisting of a Skip Herbertson, Mel Lang, and Bert Slutsky (you know these HAVE to be pseudonyms) create an album that plays like you are part of a60’s / 70’s musical game show extravaganza. The sound / concept reminds me of Tipsy, but more melodic and some drum & bass sections make this a fun listen. Some tracks feature live musicians (lots of guests) and some tracks are clearly cut n’ paste. So far, standout tracks include Curtain #1, Gaseous Clay (which was used in the movie Mad Hot Ballroom), Lanin, and Clams Casino. Go to http://www.boomish.com to find out more. While you’re there buy some Slutsky hot pants!

Keeping the excitment high is the Babylon’s Burning Reconstructed (Dub Drenched Soundscapes) by the Ruts. What you have here is 16 versions of this famous track. Every DJ I have presented this to is already familiar with the original track. I am dying to find out which version will be WCNI’s favorite. Also, I can’t wait to listen to the next PRJB. I wonder if this is ‘six pack’ material or will it succomb to swill? So far, the Die Toten Hosen & Kid Loco versions seem to be the most straight forward. Personally I am liking the Terminal Head and Apollo 440 versions. Also, this is some pretty exclusive stuff, only 3000 copies were pressed worldwide and we got it! So, it might be safe to say, that WCNI could be the only place where you will hear this!

You won’t be dissapointed with releases by John Arnold and Press – solid stuff.

Do give a listen to the Test Market Starfish. Once again, another exclusive. I believe only only 100 copies were distributed to radio nationwide, and we got it! It is analog styled electronica. Sort of ambient, but it does have a beat. Many tracks feature spoken samples .

The People at Sonic Radiation reccomend the 121 project if you like the Prodigy and Crystal Method. Too good reasons to give a listen, I’ll say.

Street Beat does a remarkable job in compiling Diva Brazil. Not a dud here! Only the best in Brazilian flavored electronica featuring artists like Bebel Gilberto et.al…

And, lastly, check out the track by Zeroleen. There is a remix by Noiseshaper – what are you waiting for?

I know, this is a little terse, but I have a whole buch of tracks coming, so keep your eyes and ears open. Lock your dial to 90.9 FM – WCNI, New London.
