The debut release from Lovefingers’ label ESP Institute has landed and its a killer. Sombrero Galaxy, a collaboration from Jonny Nash (Discosession) and Tako take us on a journey with their release Journey To The Centre Of The Sun. The A side combines swirling guitars and synthesizers assisted by live percussion while the B side gets a rework by the Stallions (Lovefingers and Lee Douglas) adding a driving house feel. Recommended by all at the club.

The Re-Groove returns to speak with Belgium production trio, Villa. Hailing from Ghent the group are purveyors of high quality dance music and have mixed one of the year’s best compilation: Cosmic Balearic Beats Volume 2 out on Eskimo Recordings The group have also remixed for the likes of The C90s, The Golden Filter and Moby aswell as dabbling with disco edits with a release on seminal edit label Mindless Boogie‘s 20th release.
Winston: Where did you grow and where do you live now?
Villa: We all come from a different place, but Villa as a music project is originated from Ghent. That’s a little town in Belgium with a vivid music scene. The studio is based at Seba’s place. He lives in a little village in the countryside.
A good friend and producer Jamie Paton from Cage & Aviary introduced me to Arthur Russell a couple years ago. I had no idea who he was although I had heard “Is It All Over My Face” on the dance floor a bit; I was completely unaware of AR. I remember listening to “Wild Combination” almost in disbelief. It felt like i had found a Guru, there’s something deeply moving about AR’s lyrics that touched me instantly. The demo style recording is something i have always loved, after all, recording and catching the music in its raw spontaneous form is thrilling for both the listener and the maker. First Thought Best Thought. I clicked onto iTunes and purchased his entire catalogue in one sitting. ( I realise it doesn’t have the same romance as blowing the dust off an old 12 in a store but i needed him pronto…. )
I have spent the past couple years falling deeper and deeper in love with Arthur Russell’s music. It seems to transcend a time period and is so nourishing to one who is in need. His voice hugs the centre of your heart, the cello rocking the very core of your spirit. His history is nothing short of amazing and i feel like a better person to have his music in my life.
It may take time for it to unfold, perhaps a lifetime, but once it does, you’ll wonder how you survived with out hearing his love lullaby’s and meditative mantras.

WIld Combination
A Portrait Of Arthur Russell
there has recently been an increase in the flow of amazing re-edits of perennial classics and forgotten gems along the lines of those done by pioneers Larry Levan, Shep Pettibone and Francois K. With our new regular Re-Groove series we try and get to know the crate diggers and splicers behind these tracks.
Our first interview comes from Brisbane resident Youth. you can catch him DJing with the Swiss at Rhino Room or at the Touch Party at The Ed Castle Hotel on the 23rd in Adelaide. He can also be found out and about in Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Winston: Where do you come from?
Youth: A French woman and an Australian man hah. No I was born in Sydney and grew up on the outskirts of Byron Bay in Northern NSW.
Winston: How did you first get into electronic music?
Youth: I first really got into electronic music through hip-hop. Buying DJ Shadows Endtroducing pretty much blew my 14 year old mind and encouraged me to buy a stack load of vinyl (most of it being op shop junk) but that kick started my passion for creating music.
Winston: What is about a song that compels you to edit it?
Youth: There can be a few defining points to choose a song for an edit. I personally like to take something and create something new out of it that I can fit into my dj sets; generally they’re tracks I already feel are pretty perfect but could do with a little spicing up.
Being able to ‘break’ apart the original enough to create something new without it sounding like hot garbage is also a pretty defining point in the production side of things. Read the rest of this entry »
Teenagersintokyo have consistently been releasing high quality music and I have been a fan since I heard them nearly 4 years ago. Their latest single ‘Peter Pan’ is no exception. the staccato guitar interceded with brooding synth and raw drum beats is sublime. The Horrors‘ re-imagining delves into minimal syth territory, with a what feels like hi-nrg made for an endless night for those who will never grow old. We at Adult Art Club can’t wait for their debut album produced by David Kosten, of Bats For Lashes fame, pegged for an spring/fall release in ’10.
