Rat Salad is the alias of producers Leo Elstob (A Mountain Of One) and Rupert Lyddon (Grand National). They've spent months trawling their 50,000 strong record collection and carefully re-editing, re-mastering and re-working everything that fits the Rat Salad musical junket. I Got An Email From Vangelis is an outstanding mix CD lovingly strung together by Leo and Rupert. They're using traditional methods, old school tape edits and tracks fed half-speed through prehistoric valve amps and compressors to give them an extra rich sound and a unique Rat Salad double dollop of wallop! Fans of their A Mountain Of One project, rare, esoteric dance music and a more cosmic flavour to their creative edits and reworks will love the music here. So good.
Further edit goodness comes from JAZ and his I Played Sports CD release. Full of obscure cuts that will leave even the most versed in disco and balaeric racking their brains. Great work.
Lo-fi garage noisenik Wavves is in the UK this week and next. Good times. I'm also posting a couple other decidedly lo-fi jams that i've been digging of late. Check them out. Cheers.
