Ninja Tune: Britisch ecclecticism (Q° post)

Saturday, January 24, 2009

I have been asked by the Rusty Gods to give a little introduction to the record label Ninja Tune. This label, the name ‘ninjatune’ is sometimes used as a genre, is well known for a creative flow in the contemporain music scene. In this article I will try to introduce the readers into the label, the artists and the running projects.

Ninja Tune started out as a label in the early nineties. It was a collaboration between DJ’s Matt Black and Johathan More. They are as the group Coldcut [hip-hop]. The label is located in London. The goal of Ninja Tune was – and is still – to sign artists or groups with an ecclectic nature. The genre of most signed groups varies from hip-hop to nu-jazz, bass, ambient, chill-out. In short, every music that contains electronic music is suitable for Black & More. Nevertheless, there are even bands that mix up electronic with classical elements. Some artists are signed in a sub-label (like Big Dada, Ninja Tuna, …) that specialises in one separate genre
Coldcut – True Skool

I will try to give a short introduction to some well known artists that are signed to the label (or a sub-label):

Amon Tobin [electronic] is a Brazilian DJ and considered as one of the most innovative artists in the dj-scene. He frequently uses sampling. His latest album is ‘Foley Room’ and refers to the creative process: the entire CD is recorded in a studio that is used for creating special effects. Foley Room is a ecstatic trip into the world of Amon Tobin! The 36-year old DJ is also known as the musician behind the game ‘Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory’.
Amon Tobin – Keep Your Distance

The Cinematic Orchestra [nu-jazz] is a British collective that combines jazz influences with an electronic sound. Their sound leans close to filmscores and is because of that commonly used as backgroundmusic in series and films. Their last album ‘Ma Fleur’ was succesfull hit in Europe. The band also has an excellent live reputation: their preference for improvisation and sampling is loved by its fans.
The Cinematic Orchestra – Channel 1 Suite

Andy Carthy, better known as Mr. Scruff [downtempo] is a British ecclectical artist. He destinguishes himself with funny artwork and music videos. His music contains a lot of southern rythms and comical influences. His latest album is ‘Ninja Tuna’
Mr. Scruff – Get A Move On

Roots Manuva [hip-hop] is British rapper and currently signed to Big Dada, a sub-label of Ninja Tune. His music is experimental en combines hip-hop with dub and electronic influences. His music is often remixed by other British DJ’s. In 2008 he released the album ‘Slime & Reason’.
Roots Manuva – The Falling

Skalpel [nu-jazz] is a talented Polish collective, containing DJ’s and musicians. They are inspired by 60’s and 70’s jazz and mix this with modern samples and hip-hop beats.
Skalpel – 1958

The Herbaliser [hip-hop/funk] is a group that began in the early nineties. Their music is mostly considered as a fusion of jazz, hip-hop and funk. The recently released the album ‘Same as it never was’.
The Herbaliser – Sensual Women

A complete introduction into Ninja Tune is the collection box ‘You Don’t Know: Ninja Cuts’, containing three cd’s with NT-artists! You can also tune in to the weekly podcast ‘Solid Steel’ to discover the latest music.

Have fun!

Our new post is about a cool Ep we found from Harmonic 313. Maybe some know this artist as one guy from Harmonic 33, but now it’s a solo project from Mark Pritchard. I’ve read about this artist on Busy P’s blog @ Coolcats Blog. Mr. P says the album from Harmonic 313 is ”Probably one of the best albums of 2009″. I didn’t found the album he’s talking about yet. But if I find it, I will post it on The Rusty Blog! To give you an idea about Harmonic 313 sound:
Here’s a link to Harmonic 313 – Dirtbox Vinyl. This Ep has 4 Songs:

Dirtbox
Arc Light (My fav!)

Another great thing about this record: it’s from the Warp Label (BATTLES, Maximo Park, LFO, Boards Of Canada, Clark, Aphex Twins…)! So it’s great music!

And as promised a cool bonus I’ve found on Panormx Blog:

The Whitest Boy Alive

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

The new album ‘Rules’ from ‘The Whitest Boy Alive’ is coming out in march 2009! But there are already some versions of the album and tracks circulating on the internet, we would like to share with you.
I was pretty excited about this band after they blew me away at Dour Festival and checked out their first cd ‘Dreams’ which was/is quite brilliant. I always describe them to my friends as the German indie/rock version of Hot Chip with some disco influences. Some other people like to describe them as ‘minimal-indie’. If you like such music, you should like The Whitest Boy Alive!

To get an idea about how ‘minimal-indie’ sound, here are some tracks from their debut album Dreams:
The Whitest Boy Alive – Inflation
The Whitest Boy Alive – Burning
The Whitest Boy Alive – Golden Cage
The Whitest Boy Alive – Above You

For my people who don’t like this “minimal-indie” there are always the remixes! Here’s one from Fred Falke:
The Whitest Boy Alive – Golden Cage (Fred Falke Remix)

But now there is a second album: ’Rules’. It has the unique TWBA sound so I think it’s another awesome album they’ve made! Here are some tracks I found from their new one:

The Whitest Boy Alive – High on the Heels
The Whitest Boy Alive – Keep A Secret
The Whitest Boy Alive – 1517
The Whitest Boy Alive – Gravity

Hope you enjoy this nice band!

And because there are some people who don’t even like the remix from TWBA, here are some cool tracks I found lately one blogs like this. It’s Electro/techno and Yuksek baby!
