So we like to plug our friends here, and that’s because we’re lucky enough to be surrounded by people who truly have some skills worth plugging. So rewire your circuits for these boys and have a listen to something a little different, they might just lead you down a different path of digital delight.
This first one is by ‘David Freddie Lee’ and I’ve been meaning to whack it on the player for some time now. He plays under the guise of the ‘Ricochet Toys’, who have an array of discotronic indie house productions on their myspace, find them here at www.myspace.com/boasfang. Dave’s evocative tongue and cheek vocals are reminiscent of David Byrne’s, minus the strangulated screeches, allowing room for his voice to flow fluently over his sleek sub level electro synth lines. Pure disco twinges, tailored three piece suits, and snide smiles for the French Kitsune girls all come to mind on this one.

Our next socket with a faulty fuse, rewired through a harmonic generator is ‘Cellma’, find them on myspace at www.myspace.com/cellma. Blissed out low-fi electronica is a first here on YCCMP, and it’s a pleasure to put such a soothing vocal into the open air of the blogosphere. Shinjuku Zulu produced the original track, ‘Sweetness Likes the Reverb’ on his best of album with K.I.A, find his inverted electronic productions at www.myspace.com/shinjukuzulu.
For those of you who do live in the open air of the countryside, where the grass is debatably greener, and the meadows ever rolling. Put on your wellies and wander with your headphones, fall back on the crop circles, and breathe in the reverb. It tastes pretty sweet on this one. ‘Thom Griffiths’ a Dorset school friend, and fellow villager is responsible for the tweaking here. Let nothing that is golder than the county green, be a continuing inspiration to you Thom.
