black acre recordings
Sous le dancefloor
The outstanding Rogue’s Foam recently posted Loving Wonky, one of the most interesting things I’ve read on a blog in a while (probably since this).
I would/could never attempt to paraphrase his argument, but the notion of ‘wonky’ as a musical avant-genre seems a strangely pertinent way of placing Manchester’s Fantastic Mr Fox & Rich Reason in context. Whilst they do tread much of the middleground over which Zomby, Joker, Ikonika and Flying Lotus are commonly umbrella’d, there’s something else there - manic, free and nameless.
Their debut 12″ - ‘Plimsoul’ / ‘Bleep Show’ - was out through Hemlock Recordings in March and, before they head to pulsemakers Ramp, they’ve another forthcoming on Black Acre - ‘Fall’ / ‘LO-FI-VE’ - this month. Oh, and re-check Jah Pat’s second No Pain In Pop mix for ‘Bleep Show’ in it’s fullest.
