Sprawling, hypnogogic freakout from Cameron Stallones of Sun Araw and friends. Peer into the ether and you can just about make out Spacemen 3 and Funkadelic c. 1969 bursting into flames inside a burning star core . This is a ham hock in your cornflakes:
Track listing:
1. Dark Cicadas
2. Moon Lagoon Platoon
3. Planar/Sonar
4. On The Dime
5. Friendship

Transmission - Solid Space and Ashra
So this is my first post ever on a blog* and seeing as I have to make some kind of lasting impression on the information superhighway, I thought I would put up some righteous jams.
First up is Tenth Planet by Solid Space, this slice of sparse synthpop sounds like the soundtrack to a lonely voyage into the unknown cosmos, with only the drawn-out robotic tone of a computer for company and the realisation that you're never going to get home. Hope you like this as much as I do.
Next up is Club Cannibal by Ashra. This little gem I am very much looking forward to dropping at the next night. I haven’t got much hyperbole to spit about this kraut-disco odyssey so just lay back and enjoy the ride.

Transmission - Space Ranger
Space Ranger - Superstring
We had the best time at Lasermagnetic's Moxie party last Sat, mostly thanks to the genius crowd of exuberant space rangers who kept us chugging on until the plug got pulled at 4. So massive thanks to you all - and the Lasermagnetic crew - for making it happen! This also leads me neatly on to this track, the reaction to which, when Chev dropped it, was a joy to behold.
From 'Superstring' on Madrid-based Lovemonk
(...two artists with 'Space' in their name in one day. Oh dear.)
Transmission - Space Dimension Controller
Space Dimension Controller - Journey To The Core Of The Unknown Sphere
The title of this track and indeed the alias of its 19-year-old Dutch creator probably tell you everything you need to know about the tendencies it exhibits. Set the controls for the heart of... something.

Transmission - The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones - Undercover Of The Night
Heads up and hats off to Andy Blake, who confused the hell out of us at World Unknown on Friday (was that even you, Andy Blake? We couldn't see each other let alone the stage) and is also responsible for this incredible live mix from The Beat! which drew our attention to this extraordinary slab of sleaze. The Stones won't allow embedding of the original video, but the version below has better sound quality anyway.

Special Transmission - Moxie edits
On Sat 16th we've been asked to host room 3 of Lasermagnetic's Moxie party and we're a little bit excited. For those who don't know, Moxie is a legendary, mysterious disco edits imprint that has been quietly putting out enormous recuts for nearly 10 years, culminating in a 'Goodbye' 10" just a few months ago. In their only UK performance the Moxie crew will be joining Lasermagnetic residents Neil Thornton and Johny Chingas Hiller in the main room of the Horse and Groom, with Ears Have Eyes taking care of business upstairs. Hope to see you there!
A couple of favourite Moxie edits:

Many thanks to TJ Hertz for this glorious Kosmische tip. Krautrock-era electronica at its very best.
