Bleep

In our time, the musical movements born out of post-punk minimalism and the roots of electronic dance music is a broad church, and anyone might be forgiven for thinking no compilation could possibly cover all the bases. Soul Jazz Records come pretty close with the first volume of their Two Synths A Guitar (And) A Drum Machine. The disco-adjacent faction consists of Zongamin’s pseudo-space dance swagger ‘Underwater Paramid’, while Ixna mutate electronics into a no-wave fuzz-fest with ‘Somebody Said’. Meanwhile, Becker & Mukai match an 808 with jazzy organs for ‘La Rivière des Perles’
