Coco Bryce – Club Tropicana

The official video for Coco Bryce‘s title track of his second album Club Tropicana on Fremdtunes is directed by Thomas de Rijk (aka Halp). On his latest LP, the Dutch producer indulges in the sort of musical alchemy that sounds like a recipe for disaster on paper, yet as the album unfolds the concoction Bryce...

#bottomrightcorner — the Manyoba BOY$!

For this week’s #bottomrightcorner, we handed it over to none other than the Manyoba BOY$! Made up of Lesotho-born Big Space and British expat Jumping Back Slash, Manyoba BOY$ are the most swanking South African underground house and techno producers around; they got white meat and dark meat like a chicken and together they bring...

#BOTTOMRIGHTCORNER – DECEMBER WEEK 02

December is finally upon us. And that means excess. Everywhere. No matter who you are or where you are, ’tis the season to be jolly; to eat too much, drink too much and spend way too much. Christmas carols on repeat, sweaty scrambling among the red and green shiny crap, and overpriced, well, everything. Sounds...

#bottomrightcorner – september week 02

Alright, alright! For this week’s #bottomrightcorner, we are going digital… As many synths, Charlie Brown teacher wubs and echoes as we can stand, we’d like to throw in a little wonk, a little glitch and a little dub just to keep things fresh… With new releases from the likes of our very on Spoek Mathambo,...

Stark On Spokes: The Interview

Shane Cooper better known as Card On Spokes took the time out to contextualise, for one small seed, the upcoming release of the song ’Disguises’ as well as his new EP set to drop early 2013. There’s something about the melancholic synths and the pitter patter of the hihats building into the drop just before the distorted...

BEAST: A Band Apart

BEAST: A Band Apart

When life gives you lemons, it’s simply because you deserve it. But when life gives you Inge Beckmann, a camera kit and backstage passes, well then you know it’s about time you gave life something back. This very notion motivated us as we set out to follow the dark-haired vocalist perform gigs at the admirable...
Midyear Music Roundup

Midyear Music Roundup

Since we’re halfway through the year, now seems as good a time as any to give a mention to some of the albums that have passed without mention yet deserve a listen.

#bottomrightcorner

Almost Famous - 'Tiny Dancer' - Elton John

William Miller: I have to go home.
Penny Lane: You are home.






Reservoir Dogs - 'Stuck in the Middle with You' - Stealers Wheel

Mr. Blonde: Listen kid, I'm not gonna bullshit you, all right? I don't give a good fuck what you know, or don't know, but I'm gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. It's amusing, to me, to torture a cop. You can say anything you want cause I've heard it all before. All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you ain't gonna get.
[He removes his razor]
Mr. Blonde: You ever listen to K-Billy's 'Super Sounds of the Seventies' weekend? It's my personal favorite.






Romeo + Juliet - 'Kissing You' - Des'ree








The Graduate - 'Mrs.Robinson' - Simon and Garfunkel

Mr. Braddock: Ben, what are you doing?
Benjamin: Well, I would say that I'm just drifting. Here in the pool.
Mr. Braddock: Why?
Benjamin: Well, it's very comfortable just to drift here.
Mr. Braddock: Have you thought about graduate school?
Benjamin: No.
Mr. Braddock: Would you mind telling me then what those four years of college were for? What was the point of all that hard work?
Benjamin: You got me.






Four Rooms - 'Vertigogo' - Combustible Edison








Desperado - 'El Mariachi' - Los Lobos

El Mariachi: You know, it's easier to pull the trigger than play guitar. Easier to destroy than to create.






Trainspotting - 'Perfect Day' - Lou Reed

Mark 'Rent-boy' Renton: I don't feel the sickness yet, but it's in the post. That's for sure. I'm in the junkie limbo at the moment. Too ill to sleep. Too tired to stay awake, but the sickness is on its way. Sweat, chills, nausea. Pain and craving. A need like nothing else I've ever known will soon take hold of me. It's on its way.






Donnie Darko - 'Killing Moon' - Echo & the Bunnymen

Donnie: [matter-of-factly] First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village. But the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario -- It just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have reproductive organs under those little white pants. That's what's so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. What's the point of living... if you don't have a dick?






Mullholland Drive - 'Llorando' - Rebekah del Rio

Bondar: No hay banda! There is no band! Il n'est pas de orquestra! This is all... a tape-recording. No hay banda! And yet we hear a band. If we want to hear a clarinette... listen.
Bondar: [the sounds responding to his every hand motion] Un trombon 'à coulisse'. Un trombon 'con sordina'. Sient le son du trombon in sourdine. Hear le son... and mute it... drop it. It's all recorded. No hay banda! It's all a tape. Il n'est pas de orquestra. It is... an illusion!






Pulp Fiction - 'Flowers on the Wall' - The Statler Brothers

Fabienne: Whose motorcycle is this?
Butch: It's a chopper, baby.
Fabienne: Whose chopper is this?
Butch: Zed's.
Fabienne: Who's Zed?
Butch: Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.






Stand by Me - 'Stand by Me' - Ben E. King

Gordie: Alright, alright, Mickey's a mouse, Donald's a duck, Pluto's a dog. What's Goofy?
Vern: If I could only have one food for the rest of my life? That's easy-Pez. Cherry-flavored Pez. No question about it.
Teddy: Goofy's a dog. He's definitely a dog.
Gordie: I knew the $64,000 question was fixed. There's no way anybody could know that much about opera!
Chris: He can't be a dog. He drives a car and wears a hat.
Gordie: Wagon Train's a really cool show, but did you notice they never get anywhere? They just keep wagon training.
Vern: Oh, God. That's weird. What the hell is Goofy?






Dazed and Confused - 'School’s Out' - Alice Cooper

Mrs. Kramer, Mitch's Mother: Have you been drinking?
Mitch: No
[falls on bed and can't even take off both boots]
Mrs. Kramer, Mitch's Mother: Are you drunk?
Mitch: [clearly drunk] Psshh
