Psilodump - The Nya Albumet

Demon Tea is proud to present the third official album by Swedish genre defying electronic music producer Simon Rahm aka Psilodump. Psilodump's sound may be hard to define or explain, but could be vaguely described as flexible, eclectic and maybe even somewhat schizoid. Filled with small details, lush melodies, mysterious darkness, complex but groovy rhythms, clever cuts and breaks, shifting or parallel moods, spiced up with a wild imagination, on the edge to overkill, Psilodump still manages to deliver a recognizable "Psilodumpish" sound. What at one moment is lively, wild, energetic, loud and hard, can the next be quiet, passive, mechanical and/or neurotic, if not all entirely at the same time.

Simon started composing electronic music in late 1991. Although already getting his first record deal offer in 1996, it was in 2001 he got his first official release; a vinyl EP on the Swiss experimental electronica label Domizil, followed up the next year by another two vinyl releases, one on Swedish breakbeat label Sound of Habib, and on on Swedish tech house label Q-Records. In 2006, after numerous releases on netlabels, such as monotonik, Kahvi Collective, 8bitpeoples and Candy Mind, Simon released his first CD album, "Psilodumputer", in strictly limited quantities, on a small Swedish label, Ninjani Diskus. Shortly after, Simon was inspired to set up his own label, called 476 Records, where he released his second CD album, "Never Heal".

Simon has also done remixes for artists such as Kraftwerk, Slagsmålsklubben and Bodenständig 2000. Simon has diligently been performing his music live since 1996, at both big commercial and underground rave-parties, clubs and cafes, festivals, culture events and demo parties. To date, he has covered about 120 gigs, in 15 different countries, including France, Germany, UK, Russia, Italy, Israel and Spain - alongside artists, acts and DJ's, such as Neil Landstrumm, Chris Liebing, Cari Lekebusch, Thomas Krome, Infected Mushroom, Slagsmålsklubben, Bit Shifter and Kleerup. In Sweden, he has performed at notable festivals such as Peace & Love 2008, Norberg Festival 2008, Arvika Festival 2005 and 2002.

you're taking every genre I like. First you took screamo and I was like, okay, that can stand and went back to listening to Saetia like a good skramzer. Then you took metalcore and I was like, hey, that's not cool, and went back to listening to Converge like a trve core fan. Then you took rap and I didn't care because it was totally ghey lolz 3OH3 hurr durr. Now fucking CHIPTUNE? Chiptune was so cool and kind of nerdy but now you've got that too.


maaaaang.

Woo, the first BG of this year was quite full and very friendly, lovely bunch of people! I got many great requests (most of which I managed to fit in) and also loads of enquiries about what track I was playing, which always makes me happy. The whole point of my DJ night is to introduce new music to people, after all.


The best new tune was 'The Problem' by Brotherman. It's solid, conscious UK hip hop, great lyrics combined with undeniable beats. It's taken from a great album that only missed out being in my best of 2008 list because I didn't hear it till January!



The best old tune was New Order's 'Confusion.' Yes, it's largely forgotten as it came out in the same year as the monster 'Blue Monday' but if you were there at the time, 'Confusion' was a huge, huge record. Prime Arthur Baker combined with New Order at their most free and experimental, the 12" remains a dance / indie / alternative classic. Search out this track the next time you see some NME haircut indie band prodding a MicroKorg listelssly over someone else's stolen chiptune...

So, it's December, and that means it's cool to play Christmas music. So, here's some netlabels I like which have released Christmas-related compilations.
The 8bits of Christmas by a The 8bitpeoples. Includes all your favorite 8bitpeoples-related artists like Nullsleep and Bit Shifter. Okay, so only those two people are really on the team. But the rest are pretty cool. I mean, there's Goto80 and Vim!. Also that guy who made a synthesizer out of a dot matrix printer.
The X-Dump: The Droidbird Complement contains a bunch of what I assume to be Christmas-related songs but since they're all from Europe I don't know. But hey, it's got Psilodump and Paza and Dorothy's Magic Bag and a lot of funky beats.
Some Candy Before Christmas by Candymind is a bit calmer (if you don't count Alaska). It includes Liquid Stranger as well as more Goto80 and Dorothy's Magic Bag
Christmasasaurus Vol. 2 by Candymind contains a HUGE amount of music (50 minutes!) from many of your (well, my) favorite 8bit artists, including Animal Style (who also did the artwork) and Temp Sound Solutions.
Phlogiston mentioned on II (link) that there was a "winter/snow/cold themed" compilation in the works. So keep an eye on them.
Edit: Sea of Ice. I know, it's a bit late to throw it on your MP3 player and go walking through the nearest snow-covered park at dusk, but there's next year. Maybe it during the summer to be ironic, maybe play Croqel during the winter.

Listen to this mix here - http://lastnightadjkilledmydog.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=398674

BlipBlop, otherwise known as Bitpop or Chiptunes (and quite possibly a number of other things) is a new type of music, but also a (slightly) old one. The idea is to make music using outdated consoles and computers. Bit Shifter, for example, composes entirely on the Nintendo Game Boy. Strict restrictions on creativity like this are counter-intuitive - the more you are handicapped, the more you think of clever ways to get around problems. Having said that, some of the tracks and artists here stray a fair bit from that idea. But you get the point.

1. Anamanaguchi- Sting Operation
2. Bit Shifter - Hexadecimal Genome
3. Teamtendo - Philippines Volunteers
4. Random - Sitges Savepoint
5. Kid Carpet - Jump
6. Boy vs. Bacteria - Get Naked (The Stomp)
7. Paza - Crazy Bird
8. Slagsmålsklubben - Malmo Beach Night Party
9. Linde - Ryssland
10. Nullsleep - Dirty ROM Dance Mix
11. Rob Hubbard - Commando

Don't get me wrong, I like Sabrepulse and Bit Shifter as much as the next chiptune fan (see how I discreetly added them as connections to get more people to read this), but I'm in a mood right now where I find their unashamedly joyful musical stylings unctuous and cheesy. Worse still, their popularity has spawned equally corny cookie-cutter acts in the 8-bit community. With this this list I want to prove that Gameboy-type music can be done differently.

DJ Scotch Egg - Scotch Kids (I would have put the moderately superior
Scotch Grime but it's not free, so it can die of AIDS quite frankly)
Zan-zan-zawa-veia - Lest Thou
Aleksi Eeben - Ground Expansion (Or, if you have the patience, The Grand Rules.)
Mr. Spastic - Spastic Break Fest
Germlin - Youth Pixxell (Featuring guest vocals from a certain Mr. Scotch Egg)
gay against you - Princess Diana Walkman
Role Model - pop5 (see Mr. Bit Shifter? You can do bitpop with subtlety.)
Coleco Music - Honey, We Are Chatting
Crystal Castles - Air War (Ignore the fact that they are popular amongst the indie/dance crowd, ignore the fact that they sampled a single thump on a drum machine from another artist's song and didn't attribute, just, and I know this is downright weird, but JUST LISTEN TO THE MUSIC, and stop letting such trivial matters interfere with your enjoyment of music, or anything else for that matter.)
YTCracker - N.E.S. (There is a particular melody in this song which is brilliant. However, the large majority of 8-bit rap is terrible.)

Oh fuck it, two great ones from the offending bastards in the title:
Hexadecimal Genome
Purple Haze
