I CANNOT stop playing ‘Tanger, Tanger’ after hearing Angelo Spencer play it live Thursday night.  Uh, his band was AMAZING.  For real. It was an awkward dance space and STILL people were dancing.  Click & enjoy, from me to you.

PS My job is the coolest.

Like apple pie on the last day of summer: Kendl Winter’s “At the Same Time,” from her Dub Narcotic Disco Plate of the same name. This track was recorded by Calvin Johnson at the esteemed Dub Narcotic Studio, and the B-side gets the graceful remix treatment from Selector Dub Narcotic.

“At the Same Time” b/w “The Same Version” (DBN121) was released on June 7, 2011. This fine 7” is available from the wonderful folks over at the K Mail Order Dept.
