B3


The Hammond B3 player and legend Lonnie Smith is playing in Santa Fe this week. So I decided to do this weeks Twisted Groove chock full of Hammond B3. I play older artist including Lonnie Smith, Jimmy Smith, The Meters, James Brown (on organ!) and Booker T and the MG’s. And I play younger artist carrying the B3 torch today like Zony Mash, Galactic and The Beastie Boys.

Indie


Some weeks ago I saw Bonnie Prince Billy (Will Oldham) at Santa Fe Brewing Company. This inspired me to create a Twisted Groove show with his music along with other related artist. Will Oldham is an amazing live performer. He reinterprets many of his songs quite differently in a live setting giving way to fascinating renditions. Here is a show comprised of Indie Folk and Indie related music which I believe make up a beautiful whole. This show also features some artists from Bedroom Community Records which is a cool label located in Iceland.

Audio Buddha and the Buddha Machine Edit

Audio Buddha

This week’s Twisted Groove show consists of an interview with and the music of Audio Buddha (Steve Brisk). An interesting blend of eastern sounds and electronica. In the second half of the show I mix the Buddha Machine with Richie Hawtin’s record DE9/Closer To The Edit/Parts and throw in some Muslimgauze and Shankar for a more traditional ending to the evening. I have also edited out the Buddha Machine mix as a separate file for you download/listening pleasures.

Factory Records Special

The Factory Records box set, “Factory Records: Communications 1978-92” was released January 12, 2009 (having been delayed twice already). It is compiled by Jon Savage including an essay by Paul Morley and artwork by Peter Saville. It is a great overview of the record company’s output but is obviously missing some tracks that die-hard fans might have expected on the compilation. For this week’s Twisted Groove I play many tracks from the first two discs dating between 1978-1984 with one New Order tune from the third disc. A probable future follow up show will complete the history of Factory Records 1983-1992. This will include the Happy Mondays, Electronic, Northside, James and others. I hope you enjoys the Twisted Groove’s spin through some of Britain’s music history.

Muslimgauze

I felt like mixing it up this week so this weeks Twisted Groove show is quit varied. While I was in San Francisco a while back I bought the then newest Muslimgauze release Armsbazzar. Recordings of his from 1994-1997. His sound is raw and powerful. I then moved to some smoother electronic music like M83, Plaid and DNTEL. Then I get all euro with some French feeling music like Bertrand and Alif Tree. Then I move into some experimental sounds of Nick Forte. Then into some Kriedler, KJ Sawka and then back to Muslimgauze. Ending out the eve with Aphex Twin, Mouse on Mars and Future Sound of London. Quite a varied tour around the electronic music genre.

When I heard some weeks back that Throbbing Gristle was going to play Coachella and being a lover of their past work I went in search of their newest release Part Two: The Endless Note (2007). After getting into the record I decided to use it as a springboard for this weeks show.
