I like this wrong song. it’s strange. it sounds like a portion of a mixtape where the Dj has decided to use kitchen utensils- maybe a wooden spoon and some tongs- instead of their hands. or 15.37 on day 2.... shout Marco @HELLYEAHrec for constantly playing these sorts of weird and wonderful records.
First look, freshly finished, future feasible facsimile?
so glad this guy is finally making his magic available to the public: cut-outs*edits*re rubs... badman stan with late nite scalpel antics.
such a jaaaaaaaammmmmmmm. played late and everyone looks at each other nods, smiles, whoops & yells on some togetherness shit. lil broken, ruff & smooth, jungle vibration, MAW, co-op, dancing ting. Max D, Jack J & co making constellations. some serious magic. wheel fe’ reeeal.
We never plan these things. In what turned out to be one of the more linear conversations we've had for a while, we call this episode: Dance around a fire. In this session of Float some, Jet some, Rodi & Kava weave a serpentine musical idea exchange around a fire. On a Beach. In cold Berlin we dance to keep warm. On crazy planet earth, we dance to release, dance to be together, we dance to heal, we dance to try and understand the chaos around us. Take care of each other, and enjoy! @RodiKirk @kavanator @BCR_Radio https://www.facebook.com/floatsomejetsome/ *most pics we get from unsplash
and that’s why I love Berlin.
It’s not often here I give books props- I think this is actually the first time... This book: REINVENTING ORGANIZATIONS was given to me by Rodi Kirk and I owe him eternal thanks for enlightenment. There is a whole bunch jargon, industry, academic sounding language. But fear not my fellow ape-brained friends! persist as I did, and you start to understand this is an observation of how groups of people behave together, and a great self help guide into understanding the turbulent ebb & flow of the humanoid socioverse.
It's October in Berlin, the trees continue to shed their leaves. The onset of colder weather drives people together, reminding us that together, we get through the tough times. In this session of Float some, Jet some we're lucky joined by a cunning, wise denizen of the deep- David Dorrell. Dave swims through many pockets of space and time at will, bringing crucial ideas and messages to the Float some, Jet some musical conversation. In what will hopefully be the first of more sightings, we wish the music helpful, and insightful. Enjoy! @RodiKirk @kavanator https://www.facebook.com/floatsomejetsome/

Damn. @eglorecords BUMP. Sultry vibe-instigator Steve Spacek creates the soundtrack of a wreckin’ball crane seducing a hot CAT 320 D in the robot dancehall. A crunchy, alluring take on the eternal timeless mating dance of life.
Belgium
I’m not super photo person, but some cool light and arrangement on the Coast of Belgium.
Hot, clunky, late night, dance ritual stuff here. Since initial release it’s somehow managed to find it’s way into many sets. Post sundown baleric string and percussive ting lead out, like sneaking out of the beach hut when everyones gone to sleep, then everything gets drawn into this viscous ‘half-step around the bonfire’ bassline.
It’s the first release for Beam, and who is this Mr Assister... well he plays the drums in James Blakes’ live band.
insightful Art podcast. Always exceptional guest content
After a chance meeting with @askewone in the streets of the B, the true nature of the Kita dad with the Krylon ink was revealed. Cooked up bi-weekly in Berlin, JB & Auto64 host this great, candid, edu-taining, IRL glimpse into the (sometimes faceless) artists that connect dots, and warp spacetime in the post-grafitti / urban-art / contemporary art scene. Vantage Point shows rock All-Planet, with guests from everywhere and beyond. Perhaps one of the things I find most insightful, is to hear audio-only observations of these brilliant artists, who usually communicate in the visual plane... and Yes! there is a whole trove of good shows to get through, so explore the site, click some art you like, and maybe you find the mysteries of something you’ve seen and wondered about, but never knew.
THE DEFECTION ISSUE
this is a great new reading & thinking mag! they asked me & rodi to collect some music for listening, to tie in with the theme: Defection. so we did. check it on out!
Found some...
This is a story of an elusive song. A ghost, glimpsed in my youth, and its pupil-dilating scent that echoed through my brain for 2 decades.
In 1996 I first heard this break on a grainy overdubbed/over loved B-Boy VHS. A tape that someone's older brother had brought back from Sydney, or even the US, to a small city in New Zealand called Palmerston North. We passed it around, there was a 3 day max holding time, so a binge-watching / absorption method was implemented.
I found one section particularly poignant. A dance session in a hall, the B-Boys were just messing around. Poppin’ and Lockin’ and doing some glides. That break. Like a shimmering utopian future.
That break. Jeez, it sounded like Axel Foley in a Miami Vice cameo doing a stakeout on the Amazon river at sunset. I was aware that Bboys danced to all kinds of music, breaks, funk, disco, and harder true school electro, but I had never heard anything like this before, in this context.
We skated, we raved, to a whole bunch of stuff, from Dave Clark, Metroplex, Strictly Rhythm, Metalheadz & MAW to ATCQ, Lost Boyz, Artifacts, Beastie Boys, and all that magical stuff floating around the street-ether circa ‘96.
That break. I went on to collect records and Dj. Hip-hop, Techno, Jungle / Drum n Bass, then Broken Beat, Disco, Soul, House, everything. Growing up in Wellington NZ late 90s early 00s was one of the best musical educations one could wish for. I still never heard that break. I sung to people, played the riff on the xylophone to jazz musicians after they played in the hope that someone would know it. Nobody did.
“... sounds like a wooden vibraphone plinky-plonk tone. the beat is like electro, but not hard. shuffling kinda. melody has gotta start around G4? maybe? or higher, C5? doonk-d-doonk-doonk-doonk-doonk---d-doonk... like it could be the music playing in a national geographic special on migrational frogs in African rainforests...”
“Nah sorry bro, don’t know it.”
That break though. I was only going on the 20-odd-seconds from the VHS. Now watermarked onto my frontal lobe.
10 years pass, the ghost didn’t visit so much anymore. Then 5 years later (Ca.2011) I found myself In Berlin, accumulating records, Afrobeat, Dance Music from the African diaspora, Nordic disco, Euro-boogie, and other seemingly exotic plates a New Zealander would find in Europe. The loop started playing again. “Ghost break where are yoooou?” With the musical aesthetic I was now digging, and playing out, now it made more sense than ever. I started going through Breakdance compilations, greatest hits, best of Breakdance vol.1-10... Nadda. Sometimes I would drunk-dial shazaam and sing the hook. Nicht. I even got the free demo of Ableton Live and started sketching what would be my own version. Just in case the ghost was just that- a Ghost. I decided to take it public again, asking all my older music friends, when one British guy said yes! He knew it! “We used to play it heaps! It’s a jam for real, It’s by a group, they’re not that obvious... um, I can’t remember... (jokes about losing brain cells in Ibiza)... They’re not that famous...ummm... it’s on a Loft compilation”
Back on the trail. I listened to every song, ever, put on a Loft compilation. In full. Zip. I found a bunch of unofficial Loft 12s probably pressed up by some enterprising record store person. I listened to every one of them, on Discogs, youtube, Vimeo, or any other media source available. Nope. Web searches for “Rainforest drums boogie breakdance song” and “ percussion Bboy breaking track loft anthem” yielded nothing.
A couple of months, after the hot red herring had cooled down. I was going about my business, doing some washing, and I heard it on a radio show. I sat down, smiled, Inhaled a deep breath, and wrote the song title/artist name on a piece of paper next to the laptop. Exhaled, yelled, whooped, then danced on the sofa, by myself, at 9.26am, 25 March 2016. Here it is:
Afternotes: It’s not that rare a track, but somehow we were ships passing in the night for so long. I now realize, in the youtube comments of some of the other boogie tracks while searching, people said GTA San-Andreas bought them to the page. I never played it (the game)- it was trk2 on the Bounce FM playlist, so minus 50 Sherlock points for me.
The Intro bass line was sampled by Goldie for his track ‘Sensual’, which I know, and love, and was exposed to around the same time I watched the breakdance VHS, I had no idea that the 2 were one and the same, and yet now it makes total sense. Everything is connected.

Pole position Imaginary Wu Banger...
Float some, Jet some 31-03-2016 w/ Kava & Delayed action Rodi + The Shimmering Otter: IMAGINARY WU BANGERS pt.1 (actually starts around 43.07) The change of season is upon us, days get longer, and from the window of Berlin Community Radio we see blossoms bring smiles of wonder and delight to young and old. In this episode, Rodi, Kava and Nick explore some music that could have been sampled in a parallel-universe Staten Island Shaolin Temple, some songs that when cut to bits by the Shelbyville RZA would echo through the ages. These are some of our Imaginary Wu Bangers. Enjoy!
