In typical ironic British fashion, Julio Bashmore tells us about his new label:
Fast cars, money, but no record label to truly call my own? This ends today… Hi, I’m Julio Bashmore. Somehow I have found time between jet-setting around the globe, becoming a voice for the people via my Radio One show and generally living the high life to bring you a brand new label, Broadwalk Records. Today heralds a new era in the Julio Bashmore chronicles, with a sound that shall echo through the ages…
Special little long-weekend edition of WGW — seeing as we were a tad late on the delivery, felt right to include a Sunday option, and with Jamie Jones it town, it wasn’t just a superfluous addition either. In any case, the real attention grabber, is yet another innovative Mansion party going down this evening (Friday) at 99 Sudbury, which they’ve tabbed as, “Visions”. Should be quite a spectacle, and I’m envious of all those attending.
Hard for you not notice the path being trail-blazed by Toronto-native, Meati, at the moment. This week, my man comes correct on this vacuous ode to sunrises, transparent conversation tables, full-body Australian reds, and full-strength Colombian whites.
Still under some pretty stringent parameters, and will be until the end of May. Many thanks for your continued understanding during this crucial phase in my non-virtual life. Events –
Up there with the likes of Bordello, Poupon, & Meech, there are few individuals that were more instrumental to this humble domain’s steady rise to notoriety than John Roman. It’s been about three years since we first started posting Roman tunes, and watching the kid’s steady metamorphosis has been beyond intriguing.
His latest vestige comes in the form of “Reclusion 2”, the second installment in Mr. Roman’s now-infamous mix series of unreleased material. Inspired by, and a product of his solitary and obsessive work habit, the Reclusion series is an insight into Roman’s process and evolution as a producer. This time ’round, however, “Reclusion 2” will feature no remixes, no bootlegs and no edits – instead eight original tracks, hot off the press.
The tape drops May 10, 2012, so keep your ear to the ground.
Having been forced to play the piano from prepubescence, to eventually being enamored with all things ivory white — I will always have a soft spot for intros laid out like this one. Yadi absolutely obliterates this track with her pipes, and Scuba arranges it with all the predictable, yet essential, bmore/dubstep intricacies (though, both those terms are horrifically vague, and little more than meaningless at the moment). Nevertheless, enjoyable tune, through & through. Best part? It’s a free DL.
Two sublime acts on Friday, who’s ascribed titles for the purposes of this segment, as many of you will have no doubt considered, could have gone either way. We chose Addison Groove & Doc Daneeka in the church, put on by The Mansion, but it just as easily could have been the Faktory gig featuring Lightyear, Dinamo Azari & Egyptrixx. Tough task for Saturday, to live up to that tandem, but a nice collection of events leaves you with a number of options.
Call this one my front-runner for track of the year, at the moment, of course (subject to change in an hour or so). MCDE, as he so often does, asserts his position at the pinnacle of these oft-mundane musical pursuits. Moreover, no surprise that it’s a generous offering from the visionaries behind Aus Music.
For those somewhat concerned about the whereabouts of The Vamp (or The Vamp’s content, rather), I can tell you that all is well — I’m just currently enveloped in the pursuit of a what will one day hopefully serve as my career. It’s a stark, albeit depressing reality, when real life has to trump music, but the day has come. The end of May will mark a resuscitation in all things eTO, including music, etoLIVE episodes, and a lot more of what you’ve come to expect from this institution. That being said, check out this week’s events:
