THE DEEP RANGE 04
mixtapes_ music_ quaid
Quaid’s taken some time off working on his forthcoming ‘Metropolis’ project to bring us the latest installment in his ‘Deep Range’ mixtape series. Over the last couple of years he’s tended towards concept-led mixes, but this set is much more about touching down across-the-board than following a single theme.
Expect to hear UK future funk alongside some lost classics plus beats new & old from Detroit’s finest and of course those signature Quiad flourishes.
Tracklisting after the bump.

FRIDAY FUSION
music_ unified theory
Spiritual force, inspirational band leader, cosmic philosopher, alien-abductee, composer, fashion criminal… take your pick. The being known as Sun Ra took the concept of fusion to another level, and quite possibly another planet, coming out of a hard-bop background he introduced electronics, vocals and an avant-garde cosmic concept to his Arkestra to create some truly unique music.
To be honest a lot of his output is a bit left for my ears, but here’s a couple of favourites from Lanquidity ‘78 and Sleeping Beauty ‘79 two of his more soulful offerings… Space is defintely the Place.
Sun Ra — The Doors of the Cosmos

ACTRESS — PURPLE SPLAZSH
electronic_ music_ synth
It’s been out a couple of weeks, and it’s sounding seriously heavy. Sonically pushing it to the next level Actress’s new LP ‘Splazsh’ has been well worth the wait (he’s also put out a sweet little 12″ on Non-Plus that needs checking)
As the title suggests, the tune I’m posting heavily references/samples the Purple one, but with Actress’s moody techno funk edge. Feel it.

FRIDAY FUSION (SUMMER LOVING…)
music_ unified theory
Finally getting a taste of summer on our little island, time for something a bit more chilled to take us into the sun-drenched weekend. This cut is by Polish jazz singer Urszula Dudziak, and strikes the right balance between her ‘vocalising’ & the groove beneath it. Sadly the former often takes precedence in her work leaving little room for anything else, but there are a handful of tunes that cut it and she’s done some interesting electronic experiments — ’79’s ‘Future Talk’ LP is a good example.
This cut is from ’75’s ‘Urszula’. Enjoy the weekend.

FRIDAY FUSION
music_ unified theory
Apologies for missing last weeks FF post — but here’s a proper banger to make up for it. It’s French, from ‘76, it’s got the Lockwood brothers at the helm – so that’s not some kevvy guitar your hearing but Didier Lockwood’s violin – it’s got a powerhouse American rhythm section, it’s slightly proggy and it’s just under 7 minutes long — what more do u need? I fusion therefore I am.

WAVE FUNK
man from atlantis_ music_ synth
This is a tune been meaning to post for a little while, and if you’ve cheked it already, you’ll know it sits sweetly in the mix as part of Man from Atlantis’s Deep Freq Odyssey. Sounding like some lost electro/funk classic it is in fact a nu skool production from DMX Krew – signed to Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label amongst others, more info here. Not sure about the outro but the first two thirds is pure vocodered funk goodness.

Rebirth on the iPhone

Oh yeah!
ReBirth for the iPhone, which if nothing else is a big step towards Reason for the iPad.
You could probably bash out yesterday’s freaky friday post on the way to work.
Welcome to the Phuture.
