This week the podcast starts with 2 tracks with a "movie" feel. The first could be the soundtrack of a crime caper set in an unspecified Mediterranean location. The second is full of dark imagery.


Urbs - The Incident
Urbs aka Paul Nawrata has been dj-ing for 15 years in Austria turning the tables usually hip-hop but also breakz. The last two years, Urbs has been working on his first solo Album Toujours le même film, with influences including Ennio Morricone, Serge Gainsbourg, Francis Lai, Francois de Roubaix, Alain Goraguer, and original scores in general.

The Ebb And Flow - Framer Framed
San Francisco band The Ebb and Flow have carved out their own niche in the modern music world. Part krautrock, melodic pop, and reminiscent of Thrill Jockey, the album Time to Echolocate is totally fresh and will challenge your conventions.

Ottogono - Spanish Eye and Oh L

Individually Ottogono are packed full of talent. Darren Ferris is a local legend in Coventry, UK. He never drops a note despite covering every inch of the stage enthralling audiences with his chest pounding antics bouncing his tambourine of his head song after song after song. Darren might disagree but kid brother Andy is Ottogono's sex symbol. Showing maturity beyond his years on lead guitar he could never be accused of riding on the back of his good looks. Holding all this together is the drum and bass of the 2 Frans. Sully is coolness personified on the Bass whilst H plays the drums as if his life depended on it. As good as these 4 are individually it's their collectiveness that sets them apart from the rest. They write as a unit and this shines through in their live performances.

You're right about the soundtrack - to my ears it kicked off sounding like a blaxploitation flick a la Shaft, before morphing into something a bit more current. It made me think of something else too, but I've already explained that thoughts separately !

Nice mix - very funky moving to a rocking finish. Got my feet moving in synch to the tempo all the way back to the bus :-)
