Recommended music: 'Hot House' EP by The Cyclist

Hot House EP

For his third release, in three years, on three different labels, The Cyclist provides us with six tracks of his trademark woozy, fuzzy music that he himself describes as 'tape throb'. On some of them Andrew Morrison (who's behind the nom de plume) has definitely stepped up the dance beats, making them a lot less ambient and a lot more house. It's kinda of weird hearing a floor-filling bassline topped off with a super-crackly sample, but somehow it works. The result is a type of dance music that feels organic rather than manufactured, as if it's been left in a closed, boarded up club for the past sixty years ad just allowed to evolve on its own.

Well worth a listen (which you can do below) but even more worth a purchase as it's only a few quid.

Track of the Day: 'Thumper' by Dan Friel



The first track to appear from Friel's début album on Thrill Jockey is this awesome slab of noise, rhythm and energy; fuzzed up, fucked up and powered up, it's impossible to sit still when you hear it. Listen or download it above.

The album 'Total Folklore' is released on February 19th - click here to order direct from the label and you'll also get the chance to win and hand-crafted music box that plays the melody to 'Thumper' over and over and over...
