I want those strip lights that Simian Mobile Disco are using. I want a full set like the Animal Collective last week. Are they even called strip lights? Anyone know? Anyway, seeing as it’s Friday here are some tunes for your weekend escapades.
The jury is still out on Simian Mobile Disco’s album but the album opener is an effective tune with a distinction that I quite like.
Simian Mobile Disco – Sleep Deprivation
[audio:https://nialler9.com/mp3/Simian Mobile Disco_Sleep Deprivation.mp3]Yet another excellent Reverse Engineering track. This time featuring New Yorker MC M.Sayyid (Antipop Consortium). Glad to see that due to this blog, RE will have a song featured on an upcoming Netlab release “What Are We If Not Dangerous?”! Buy their EP.

Ms Dynamite-eee’s brother has made a great electro/hip-hop/grime album and this is the title track from it. Trivia: Akala was formerly a football player with Wimbledon F.C. and West Ham United’s youth team, playing in defence.
[audio:https://nialler9.com/mp3/Akala_-_Freedom_Lasso.mp3]Classic Jungle track from Soul Jazz Records’ recent compilation Rumble in the Jungle.
[audio:https://nialler9.com/mp3/Cutty_ranks-limb_by_limb.mp3]I bought the Big Dada: Well Deep compilation last week and it reminded me of this track from the 2000’s Gun Hill Road which was also released on Big Dada.

for all you Simian Mobile Disco fans:
For the next two weeks, any vinyl purchase from the Beggars Store will net the purchaser a free promo only Celebration 12″ of “Hands Off My Gold (Simian Mobile Disco Mix).”
I guess it only the US store but thats a good deal for those of you in the Euro zone.
Cheers

I really liked the last one, Infesticon. It is more like what I used to liisten to. Some of the music presented is too sharp for me or too techno. I submitted it to my group in del.icio.us. They at least can sample the choices of Nialler 9.
Strip lighting is what they have on the floor on planes and in cinemas to show you your way out when there’s a fire.
True story.
think the lights r called pixel lines. expensive fuckers so they are.
Sleep Deprivation has a very Vitalic feel to it!!!
