“Chingo Bling made all his money from tamales,” says Chingo Bling, referring to himself in the 3rd-person with generous objectivity. “All the piece and chains, the toe wear, the ostriches, the custom Versaces with the Virgin Mary. You can’t make all that off of CDs alone, you gotta have something else going on.”

69 grime riddims in 60 minutes!

yes please. The latest blogariddims installment booms out, Low End Spasm style. Although the mostly-instrumental grime mix inspires a bit of nostalgia at hearing ‘old’ tunes, the material is undeniably alive and simply buzzing with plastic youth energy.

top-notch liner notes to boot: “Some of Grime’s similarities to punk are debatable, but this one isn’t one of them: both genres boast a semi-lost treasure trove of incredible TRANSIENCE, one-of-a-kind tracks by young producers, many of whom only made records for six months of their lives before slipping away from music, back into everyday London life. . . And unlike established disciplines like House, these beats dare to challenge the dancefloor with pauses, gaps and other idiosyncrasies that don’t rely on the escapist hypnotic effects of a continuous matrix of 4×4 kicks. This freewheeling creativity is the product of music creators with no-one to answer to.”

OINK IS DEAD, YOU’LL HAVE TO BUY IT

France’s Recmag just upped a video interview with Andy & I from our show in Feyzin. “Moment unique entre improvisation bruitiste et dancefloor tendance noise avec le guitariste des légendaires The Ex, Andy Moor et le producteur, maître du mix, DJ Rupture.”

We produced another very limited-edition CD, Live in France, to sell on this recent tour. This one contains highlights from several France shows we did last March. A few copies remain.

live-in-france3

50 minutes long. Live improvisation for guitar+turntables. For a preview, check this youtube piece. Overall, the sounds are more beat-oriented than our first tour CD.

FYI, Live In France is a mass-produced, labeled CD-r in a slimline case, fruit of one of the many services offered by Chinatown’s graymarket economy.

it’s only available here (via PayPal) & at Ex shows. ‘xclusive!
