Camper Van Beethoven – 2016-01-29 - 40 Watt Club (2016)




  • Americana 
  • Alt-country 
  • Psychedelic rock 
  • Blues rock 
  • Indie rock 
  • Alternative rock 
  • Ska 
  • Live recording 
  • Southern rock 
  • World music


Comment: this is not the first live recording and hopefully not the last one at 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia, USA by Camper Van Beethoven you could find out at Archive.org. It can be assumed it is one of the combo’s favourite places to disseminate their legacy. The legendary quartet is there to convey a frantic session of 19 pieces with a grand total time of 64 minutes drawing upon southern rock, Americana, ska, blues, bluegrass, psychedelia, and alternative country. All these stylistic elements are seamlessly intertwined with one another and at the same time one element is traded for another to be appeared as if an effect of hocus-pocus or a hidden sort of music of the Romani and Jewish people. David Lowery`s vocal appearance is simply mesmerizing and that could be said about Jonathan Segel`s virtuosity to straddle on a keyboard and violin almost simultaneously. Just shut up and let the music take over. This is a bewildering hour by seminal masters. Absolutely brilliant!

Egrojj – Gambling EP (2014)




  • Minimal techno 
  • Tekno 
  • Remixes 
  • Dub house 
  • Club dance
  • Alternative dance 
  • Tech-electro


Comment: fur sure, this 9-track outing is an intriguing one, where Egrojj`s compositions are interestingly remixed. The content of these tracks is emptied by emotions thereof allowing more space for rhythmic permutations through minimal approach. Indeed, the listener can follow the rigid, austere rhythmic patterns with quite static electronic and stereo effects, however, providing a dynamic and vivid background for the rhythms. Mostly the release runs in the vein of techno music, though there are up dub house frequencies and slight tekno and electro inflections either. Catchy basses are represented in the way to arouse one’s legs to shake up and down and one’s jaw to shift in a similar way. After having listened to this issue many times in a row it induced the philosophical question: what is the emotion by definition and ontologically? Is it a phenomenon, which either exists separately on its own or is it quite something that is either a relation or en effect between the subject and the object? The more you listen to it the more you can trace down of how sublimely it is panned with perceptual experiences. It is a great issue indeed, being a notch in the discography of DAST Net Recordings. Egrojj is assisted and remixed by his (imprint) buddies the likes of Eduard Colin, Flatch, THE WEB, Serious Cut, and Strehm, Mortus Inc. .
