BSWC One-a-Day: Aleksi Virta - Cosmos Bossa

Please welcome Aleksi Virta to the pages of One-a-Day. This insanely delicious release from our friends at Monotonik has been downloaded over 6000 times at archive.org. Fans of the Internet Archive will recognize those as big numbers.

..Meets Torsti At The Space Lounge [mtk123] is a quality release. It covers a lot of ground and has a creative depth that draws one further in one tune after another.

Virta is from Finland:

He fearlessly busts out this supremely accomplished album of jazzy, dubby electronics, originally released on a scandalously limited, horrendously collectible 100-copy sold-out CDR edition, and now, thankfully available to the general public via the wonders of the Internet.

Join us in joy.

BSWC One-a-day: Tim and Puma Mimi - Popkiller

What would I do without Starfrosch, the fabulous Swiss music blog?

They have come through again by alerting me to a new release by BSWC Fav's Tim and Puma Mimi. They have a new tune out that comes with a video release. The tune is called Popkiller.

It has that homegrown production style that brings to mind lower Eastside, NYC about 20-30 years ago. Very cool.

"...in spring 2004 we released the EP "The Adventures of Tim & Puma Mimi", on alpinechic.net.
We thought, that was it: Mimi had to go back to Japan and Tim stayed in Switzerland... But the little seed grew in the internet and came into real life: Radios started to play the songs, it was anounced in newspaper and after one year the first invitations came for concerts."

They are playing a very cool bill tonight in Zurich. You can catch them with Pureape, Freiraum, and Severin24 at Dynamo starting at 9:00 pm...in just couple hours from now.

Thank you, Starfrosch. Life is good.

BSWC One-a-Day: Mossa - Take One

Today: A classic from the venerable Montreal netlabel, Epsilonlab.

On this release, Town Hall ep [eps13] Mossa deconstructs a famous night in the history of jazz.

October 12, 1962 Charles Mingus and his band made jazz history at Town Hall in NYC.

With this release Mossa reinterprets the evening for the dance floor.

Today's selection also features a little of the Eloi Brunelle treatment.

Love it.

BSWC One-a-Day: Braces Tower - el fuego

A quick post to bring you a bit of electro-exotica. Here is Braces Tower from a Monotonik release, Pasteism [mtk131].

As the name suggests there is a little cutting and pasting going on here along with with some electronic manipulation. You have to love it...or not.

BSWC One-a-Day: Rasterfahndung - Pizzicato Suite (I Like This Pizzicato)

A lot of things going on here that I really like:

1. I like Netwaves from Radio Scorpio in Belgium. They are neighbors of BSWC-The Show Saturday nights on the mothership, WBCR-lp (they come on right after us at 11:00 pm Eastern). I was listening to number 13 of their series last Saturday. They had a fantastic interview with Lawrence Lessig about Creative Commons. And, the music was great, including 3 or 4 songs that we have played and enjoyed on BSWC-The Show. Today's pick was number 4 in the set list. I like feeling kinship.
   
2. Rasterfahndung is from Berne, Switzerland.
   
3. Rasterfahndung fuses an electronic sound with acoustic instruments. Including the guitar of niklaus erismann and the laptop of marcel kägi. This tune also has some very sweet piano.
   
4. "...in these days of foggy langscape-walks each track feels like eating a crispy pizza with various ingredients on a sunny terrace somewhere in the south."

BSWC One-a-Day: Harmsichord - Bad Buddhist

Just a buddhist monk with a rolex...
by Wam Mosely

On January 21st I posted a song by Harmsichord called Zigong Blues. I was impressed by the instrumentation and Harmsichord's fresh point of view. I rarely end up posting an artist's work on one-a-day more than once - simply because there is so much music out there to experience and enjoy. But today is the exception to the rule.

Honestly twisted, great rhythm, I love the vocals. This track is a good way to start your week. Grab a cub of coffee, put your headphones on, and take a bad ass car ride with a Bad Buddhist.

Are you a bad Buddhist?

Harmsichord can be contacted at ( harmsichord at yahoo dot com ).

BSWC One-a-Day: Fourstones - The Love of My Life (Purple House Mix)

Allright, here is a treatment of the other Jeremy Carr piece that is moving at ccMixter. This one for some reason is not a Editor's Pick.

I'm telling you right now, it is Biotic's Pick. This tune moves. Victor Stone aka Fourstones does some brilliant work and this mix really shows it.

It has twinkle and zap. Fourstones describes it as a "late-night, laptop, headphone mix".

Some might remember when Victor appeared on BSWC-The Show.

BSWC 03.24.07: I'll be there

So here is the story. This week's show is ready to go. I will be there playing these tunes in 2 and a half hours. I am going to have a lot of fun. Hope to see you there.

Call me if you want to rap on the air--(413) 528-4114.

BSWC One-a-Day: Kcentric - Just One Night (K's Soul Kiss Mix)

The fun continues at ccMixter with the Jeremy Carr vocal work.

As previously mentioned on these pages, this accapella is getting a lot of attention and justifiably so. Today's selection was produced by one of the more soulful cats on the site, Kawaski "Kcentric" Nelson.

He honed his chops in Montgemery, Alabama with the blues, jazz, R&B and Gospel you find in those parts. It definitely shows up in his mixes.

Enjoy today's pick.
