Since Tim Sweeney’s always on-point Beats in Space show celebrates its 13th anniversary with a two-part Cameo party this weekend, we thought we’d ask Ivan Smagghe (Kill the DJ, It’s a Fine Line, ex-Black Strobe) to share what he’s been listening to lately. Here are five of his favorite records…
1. Zebra Katz, “Imma Read” (Mad Decent, 2012)
I just hope the queer hip-hop thing does not get swallowed by its monstrous fashionista roots.
–
2. K-X-P, “Easy” (Melodic, 2013)
The new K-X-P LP. (Out in early 2013.) Exactly what you would expect from a Finnish metal head that used to run the electronic label that started the whole minimal thing.
–
3. Pachanga Boys, “Speedo and Boots” (Hippie Dance, November 5th)
Pachanga Boys are Superpitcher and Rebolledo. A big booty groove and tight trunks; a dark dancefloor and a smile on your face.
–
4. La Chatte, Bastet (Tsunami-Addiction, 2010)
…And still LA CHATTE, the best thing out of Paris in a while.
–
5. A whole heap of ‘wonky house’ young guns (Madato, Nyma, Margot, Jacques Smallville, etc.)
The less straight you are…
