Fast like Flo Jo crazy like Cujo

Floating Points is a bloke called Sam who’s studying for a PhD in Molecular Genetics,  and also makes cinematic electric soul music. Clever geezer, basically. Anyway he’s put out a few records on circular vinyl disc, and a couple more on electronic mp3 tapes. His latest one is called Vacuum Boogie, and it’s fucking excellent. You can listen on his myspazz, and buy it in, like, shops. 

FloPo (I just invented that, hope it’s going to catch on) also did this Maida Vale session with a live band for Gilles Peterson a couple of weeks ago. Long story short, it was awesome, and you can download it here.  People who steal music definitely go to hell probably, but I reckon it’ll be worth it.  Sorry Jesus.

If you were feeling the Brownswood Bubblers or the Bullion business then this should be right up your proverbial. In fact, if you don’t like it then you should probably check yourself. Otherwise you might be in serious danger of wrecking yourself.

Brownswood Bubblers Mixtape

It’s good when music is free, and even better when it’s legal. Better still when the free, legal music is actually good. If you see what I mean.

Hats off to the Brownswood crew, then, for the Best of Bubblers mixtape. It’s got a bunch of highlights from the first three compilations in the series, and a couple of cheeky previews of number four. It’s got that Mayer Hawthorne tune on there, plus tracks from west-coast mentalist Flying Lotus, beat generation golden boy Bullion, and some other characters who I’ve never heard of but are probably a bit good.

Free download here. Thanks Gilles.
