Goin’ Old School: Herbie Hancock – Rockit
Synth Jazzasist (yes, I just invented the word Jazzasist, deal with it) and funk futurist Herbie Hancock decided to blow people’s tiny minds in 1983 by releasing ‘Rockit’, a record with synthesizers, scratching and vocoding in it. Everyone was bewildered, it became a massive hit in the UK. Which meant that British video makers (and Pop cryers) Godley & Creme had to make a video that was even more bewildering.

PNAU’s ‘Solid Ground’ video
PNAU’s video for ‘Solid Ground’ had just premiered.
We’ve already had a few of the reMixes knocking around and the single itself dropped last week. The inclusion of a blue-dotted-boobs video seals the deal as an Indie-Electro anthem for the summer.
‘Solid Ground’ is out now.

Goin’ Old School: Skinny Puppy – Warlock
What can be said about Skinny Puppy that hasn’t already. Synthesizer pioneers that changed the face of much of electronic music. 1989’s ‘Warlock ‘is both harsh and beautiful and sadly the only good track on the (Al Jourgensen ruined) ‘Rabies ‘ album.

Goin’ Old School: Krush – House Arrest
One of my favourite tracks of all time, from 1987 Krush’s ‘House Arrest’. The bassline, the keys, Ruth Joy’s floaty vocals work together so well. One of a handful of tracks that really broke the UK house scene. Such memories.

Florrie’s ‘Experimenting With Rugs’
Florrie’s ‘Experimenting With Rugs’ will be featured on her second EP. She explains in this blog post how she keeps independent, and why (although I’m sure working for Xenomania doesn’t really hurt her situation), which is pretty unusual for an artist, to explain where their money comes from in such detail. To be honest Florrie seems to have it really together and will probably make more from her music than if she was on a major.
Florrie’s ‘Experiments’ EP is out 14th June,
