Golau Glau sprung up out of nowhere this summer with a bundle of refreshingly listenable “Silverpop” tracks which have since been causing quite a stir everywhere from The Guardian, countless blogs, websites aswell as several BBC Radio stations.
For good reason too. Their Christmas single, the Foolstide EP demonstrates exactly what all the fuss is about. It also marks their 6th month anniversary as a collective.
Here is what Wendy Roby of Drowned in Sound has to say about the A side…
“When Welshers Golau Glau wrote to me this week (it means ‘light quickly’ and is pronounced ‘Goll Eye Gly’ – it being an amalgam of “normal Welsh” and “superarchaic odd Welsh” [THEIR WORDS]) , they tole me they had a Christmas song. And I was a-feared it would be something plain dreary about Why Christmas Is Like Really Bad? Not that I had reason to suspect this, for me and my new Welsh internet friends have previously corresbonded over amusement parks – which means they are fun sorts. Anyway as it turns out ‘Foolstide’ is the sort of thing that brings a smile to your face even if you are in Tesco’s of a Thursday evening crap-hounding your way to the cheapest drinkable bottle of Rose known to humanity. Naturally I found it (£3.20, yes), and all the way to the self-service tills I thrilled at a record that – even though it has slightly rubbish beatmatching – sounds like a Christmas madrigal gone two-step – with all the delightful silliness that implies. It’s a homemade wreath of a thing – all wonky holly wound around a coathanger and the red berries are made of plastic. And yet, it really is quite lovely.”
They have been kind enough to make the whole EP available for free download, which you can grab at the link below. The zip file also includes artwork plus a songsheet for the title track (preview here)
Founder of Wigflex (www.wigflex.com), which since its first inception as a club night has since evolved to encompass a succesful record label aswell as a much sought after clothing line. Not to mention his work as a graphic artist/designer, creating all of Wigflex’s own flyers, artwork and website, plus branding for Blunted Robots – Spamchop is a force.

Click the picture to go straight through, its a really good read and a beautiful insight. Touching on everything from Peel, to Paxman to the Pistols and everything in between.
Big up Dan Hancox for posting this and bringing back memories.
Sinogrime is a sub-genre that barely ever existed, a momentary glitch in the supposedly predictable sonic geography of London dance music. Around 2002-3, with garage crumbling and the cement still drying on grime as a genre, a few producers in E3 suddenly lurched further east than they ever had before.
This is the sound of Shanghai towerblocks and the millennial promise of a new superpower, refracted through the scuffed windows of Crossways Estate in Bow. From the outset grime’s sonic palette defined it as the most futurist of genres – a steel sword cutting cleanly through UK hip-hop’s wooden edifice – but it rarely sounded as futurist as this.
I went to interview Kode9 for The Guardian recently (link here), and among other things we got talking about sinogrime… Here’s what he said:
“I’ve always been fascinated by these little squiggly synths, whether it’s been in jazz funk, or gangsta rap, or 80s synth pop… and also grime. That’s what I love most about grime actually, that kind of hyper-coloured sound. I was never so into the aggression of grime – I liked it in the MCs and the music, but it was actually how fucking beautiful melodically Target, Wiley, Terror Danjah, Ruff Sqwad and Jammer were – the Chinese style instrumentals.
I did this mix a few years ago that was just Jammer and Wiley and Target – of just half an hour of these Chinese-style plinky-plonk sounds… it was a bit sloppy, but it is fucking amazing music. Those guys were just on taking an aspect of hip-hop and blending it with really quite jarring, brash melodies.”
Brilliant insight to the pair over at FACT magazine…
Kevin Martin is best known for the piledriver ragga of The Bug, but there’s always been a sweetness lurking amidst the violence.
Over the last few years he’s sneaked out two jaw-droppingly subtle twelves with poet and singer Roger Robinson as King Midas Sound which have built up incredible levels of anticipation amongst those that know. The King Midas Sound album Waiting For You also features female vocalist/artist Hitomi and is about to drop on Hyperdub.
FACT caught up with Kevin and Roger in a Hackney cafe to talk about the album and reasoned with them about emotional intensity. We were joined briefly by Hitomi, who was midway through a mission to find a melodica for the forthcoming KMS gigs.

I can’t recommend this guys music enough, and if you ever get a chance to see his live set do not sleep on that !
If your feeling that be sure to check out his releases on Freude am Tanzen and the 10″ series on Fenou. Theres a new one out on November 9th, entitled the ‘Vodka Wedding EP’
I’ve also just learned that he has recently joined with 6 other musicians to start a new band known as ‘The National Fanfare of Kadebostany’.
After this vodka-influenced conversation, Mat Schulz, the curator of the Krakow Unsound Festival, sent Kadebostan directly to Eastern Europe to the little-known capital of Minsk, to meet a band that would become the musicians for his new Fanfare…
Rational Diet!
6 bloody musicians coming from different parts of Europe: Romania, Kazakstan, Russia, Poland… playing violin, cello, piano, accordion, horns, guitar, banjo…..
A couple of weeks of seamless recording/rehearsal and multicultural bonding sessions between Minsk’s “Vodka delight” and Geneva’s “Red wine paradise” have given birth to a unique organic/electronic middle eastern band.
Under the spell of their common love for discovering new ways of expression, Kadebostan and his new-found orchestra have composed a new blueprint for non-electronic techno, hard-hitting yet welcoming like a village feast, cutting-edge yet simple like a long-anticipated hug. Violin, cello, piano, accordion, saxophone, bassoon, guitar, banjo, boom boom boom, it’s definitely a party in the county of Kadebostany, a hypnotizing experience whose epiphany might well be a return to the traditional party spirit.
The warmth, power and high energy of this organized chaos translates best on stage where the 7 piece band celebrates life with smiles & sweat inducing performances. Their aim on stage:
Make the people sweat as if a massive traditional Kadebostany village feast. Hypnotize them and turn everybody into a state where they will all buy a one-way train ticket to Kadebostany… Witness the live premiere at the Unsound Festival in Krakow, Poland, 22.10.2009.
PS- The band doesn’t necessarily need electricity to play…so don’t be surprised if you bump into them playing in the streets. The compact version of the band is Kadebostan and 2 musicians, and that rocks. The full experience is, well, the full band, and that’s 7 people on the road…it rocks even more!
You can catch them playing the following dates;
17.10.09 THE NATIONAL FANFARE OF KADEBOSTANY LIVE! @TBA/MINSK
22.10.09 THE NATIONAL FANFARE OF KADEBOSTANY LIVE! @UNSOUND FESTIVAL/KRAKOW
23.10.09 THE NATIONAL FANFARE OF KADEBOSTANY LIVE! @SOMEWHERE IN BERLIN TBA
18.12.09 THE NATIONAL FANFARE OF KADEBOSTANY LIVE! @ LE ZOO “L’USINE”/GENEVA
