Chicken Lips – Echoman (2000)

Over the 00`s, the decade of the new style disco forms, I`ve read and heard lots of “disco this, disco that” but the fact was that finding a good nudisco album became a real hard task. Maybe only a handful of artists could reach the level achieved by Chicken Lips in Echoman.

I`m not a specialist on the theme but I guess the union of some of the ideas of Andy Meecham and Dean Meredith made the avenue in which many artists have been walking through during 00`s. Some would say they are pioneers of the spaced-out dub nu disco.

I´d say that it`s like a combo of electro-dub influences glancing disco, perhaps.. Check out the original post where i find it at The Light Of The Night. The one behind that dark red pages knows the matter, few word that say everything. Once there, check the disco and funk tags, I guess you`ll find something cool.

Kilowatts - Ground State (2007)

Hi there!

I was out for a while, and now back for few...

It`s time to leave some more recent and modern ingredient to feed our ears here. We can´t exist without a past, but can`t live without the future......ok, that means nothing..

Now let me show you an artist I`ve found times ago when I was looking for downtempo/chilling things: KILOWATTS

I really got surprised when first heard it. A real groovy experiment mixing elements of different styles like ambient, dub, psychill, idm, glitch and even techno and breaks. The notorious results this complex styles equation is what we find in his 5th album realease, GROUND STATE.

You can read many review (1, 2) doing a fast google on it that are better than I could do by now. I found even a track by track review here.

But if you`re sick of reading or if you don`t care about what others say, then you can check it by yourself below.


Pure groovy/techy chilling effects.

Tracklist:
1. Astral Accident (7:21)
2. Two Parts (7:36)
