Difficult to believe that this LP is now 12 years old. At the time it was produced both drum n’ bass and big beat were approaching critical mass whilst the genre formerly known as ‘trip hop’ was slowly transforming itself into ‘chill out’ and losing any semblance of 'da funk' in the process. An appalling invented pigeonhole it may have been but ‘trip hop’ is possibly the only way to describe the eight tracks and nine interludes that comprise Substances.
Parisian DJ Cam pays homage not only to his hip hop roots on this LP but also the city’s jazz heritage and it’s a smoky, late night cellar bop that infuses all of the tracks especially those like Friends & Enemies with its Malcolm X speech sample and Blue Note piano riff and the weary, bleary eyed blues of Angel Dust. Innervisions begins with a double bass riff that gradually expands via harp, piano and strings into a beautiful voyage around Cam’s internal headspace, Hip Hop Pioneers pays tribute to the likes of Premier, Guru, Jeru, Group Home, Eric B and Rakim and Public Enemy who get name-checked on the sleeve. Guru is obviously an influence on Substances yet here Cam burrows much deeper into the subterranean heart of jazz than his US counterparts.
Elsewhere the LP uses Kakoli Sengupta’s haunting vocals to provide Eastern textures to tracks such as Meera and Lost Kingdom. This a mood piece LP for the wee small hours with only Sound System Children’s pulsating John Carpenter a la Jean-Luc Godard soundtrack and closing track Twilight Zone’s string drenched drum n’ bass upping the tempo to a stoned head-noddin’ pace.
French hip hop was ‘de rigeur’ in the mid-90s but whereas the likes of Dimitri and Daft Punk managed to transcend their Gallic roots to become global players, DJ Cam never really became more than a cult star and trendy name to drop in Jazz Café/Straight No Chaser circles. A pity because at his best, Cam effortlessly fused the past, present and future of ‘urban’ music better than almost anybody.

Daniele Baldelli - Cosmic Disco? Cosmic Rock!
Review - Cosmic Disco? Cosmic Rock!
Compiled by Daniele Baldelli & Marco Dionigi (Eskimo)
Often hailed as the ‘Godfather of Cosmic Disco’ or as the ‘Midwife of Italo-House’ (we’ve just made that one up), Daniele Baldelli’s reputation as one of the world’s most innovative DJs has recently been re-established. Not to everyone’s taste, Baldelli’s slo-mo disco style stood in marked contrast to the hi-nrg and high tempo club sounds of most US and UK dance floors of the late 70s and early 80s, helping forge what would later become the Italo sound.
During his residency at Italy’s renown ’Cosmic’ club, Baldelli evolved his own unique style that owed little or nothing to established DJing techniques. An obsessive dedication to experimenting with both the pitch and speed of records and how various elements of each tune inter-related at different tempos, Baldelli’s ’Moroder on Methadone’ style marked him out as a DJ who was never content to just play it safe. Relentless chugging basslines and funky synth stabs remain a constant element, the body beat foundation upon which his structures are layered, beat by beat, track by track.
Cosmic Disco? Cosmic Rock! demonstrates the length to which Baldelli goes to in order to seek out the perfect tune for the perfect mix. In common with his Ibizan contemporary Alfredo, Baldelli’s aesthetic dismisses fickle notions of accepted ’cool’ in order to create something far greater than the sum of its parts. Hence we get the likes of Martha & The Muffins, The Thompson Twins, Ray Parker Junior and The Dream Syndicate next to Fra Lippo Lippi, the Bronx Irish Catholics and La Bionda.
The pulsating flow of this fantastic mix is rarely broken, and whilst it’s now difficult to appreciate quite how radical this Italo-Balearic style was almost 25 years after Cosmic closed its doors, it’s nice to see Baldelli receiving credit for the untold hours he put in during his creative heyday.
Tracklist :
1 Fra Lippo Lippi- Say Something

"DO NOT SEEK THE TRAY-ZURE"
Some bits & bobs that have helped us persuade our quack to reduce our Citalopram script over the last couple of weeks;
Dobie Gray - You Can Do It (Infinity)
Cash in disco with more than a hint of the Tony Orlandos about it, but a winner nonetheless.
Barbara Jones - Never Let Me Go (A Side)
A sunny 7 inches of prime Lovers, ideal for this unseasonably clement weather that we're currently enjoying.
Panda Bear - Good Girl/Carrots (Paw Tracks)
A tad shy of 13 minutes worth of Tribal drumming, gobbledey gook lyrics, Inuit throat singing, lurching dub basslines, Northern stomping, reverb, Tibetan finger cymbals & Noah Lennox's plaintive vocals. If you don't already own the magisterial "Person Pitch" might we humbly suggest going & availing yourself of it RIGHT FLIPPING NOW.
Jay Dee - Games & Funky Things (Instrumental) (Warners)
Barry White production formerly used as a theme by the Big Dawg 'imself, His Holiness Timothy of Westwood for his wireless programme - recently snagged on a 7 for 20p in one of the all too infrequent CDL Charity Shop snatch missions.
Lovefingers - Kentucky (RVNG)
Christ alone knows what the original is but ol' Funky Spingers is bang on the dough with his edit, the get.
The Bee Gees - Love You Inside & Out (RSO)
Quite how that intro hasn't been pilfered for sampling purposes is beyond my admittedly limited ken, unless of course it has; in which case disregard this dreck.
Bill Nelson - Another Willingly Opened Window (Mercury)
The former Be Bop Deluxer heads right up his own hoop on this "experimental" LP from 1981 but this the opener on Side 2 makes the rest of the guff worth sticking with.
The Glimmer Twins - Music For Dreams (Glimmers)
With those frankly sickeningly talented Nordic types Lindstrom & Prins Thomas on board for the ride this is one of the stand out cuts from their "The Glimmers are Gee Gee Fazzi" see-dy.
Terry Riley - A Rainbow In Curved Air (CBS)
If there was an award for the most cloyingly idealistic sleevenotes, this LP'd win by a country mile but as there isn't currently any such award (nor is there likely to be if we're being honest) the 18 or so predominantly beatless minutes that make up side 1 will just have to do.
Hercules/Love Affair feat Anthony - Blind (DFA)
In any right minded society this'd piss all over the records set by Bryan Adams/Smack Smack Smack for the longest running Number 1 of all time, EVER! but we don't so it won't - comfort yourself by simply listening to it time & time again. Lush as a last minute derby winner.

Cafe del Lar Classics # 1 - Masami Tsuchiya - Rice Music (Epic, 1982)
Opening with the title track, a typically Nipponese plink plonk rhythm underpinned by Mick Karn’s trademark rubber band basslines, Rice Music is an album that could’ve only been made in the early 80s. It sets the tone for ten tracks of ‘globalearic’ grooves that throw everything at the wall to see what sticks.
Se! Se! Se! is a funky Talking Heads style global groove with itchy n’ scratchy guitars and Tom Tom Club-esque shouty stream-of-consciousness vocals. Haina-Haila is a tribal drum fest with Karn’s drunken master bassline and what sounds like Japanese schoolgirls (infact backing vocalists Eve, Nachiko and Yoko) chanting mantras over a Buddhist monk’s sermon. It is perhaps the greatest tribal drum, squelchy bass, Buddhist chant tune ever recorded. Tao-Tao ups the tempo with a flinty funk-pop workout. Side one’s closing track, Neo-Rice Music borrows the main riff from Tao-Tao and slows it down to a drowsy, dream-like drool.
On side 2, Kafka opens with a weird discordant cello sound effect over a dislocated voice that builds gradually with an synth-accordian/bubbly bassline (the midpoint between Kraftwerk’s The Model and Nirvana’s Come As You Are) jam. Rice Dog Jam barks it’s intentions in another take on Mutant Disco’s frantic arty post-funk with syncopated woofs, megaphone vocals and Toshio Nakanishi’s ‘preaching.’ Secret Party is a murky, underwater orgy of mysterious oozy sounds and textures for which the term ‘Balearic As Fuck’ could have been invented, whereas Silent Object is a beautiful ambient instrumental that evokes the calm meditative pools of a Japanese garden. The LP closes with Night In The Park, a Bowie-esque vocal over a traditional pop structure reminiscent of post-Eno Roxy.
With the ubiquitous assistance of Riuichi Sakamoto, Bill Nelson, Japan’s Mick Karn and Steve Jansen and with Tsuchiya not only providing vocals but playing everything from guitar, drums, synth and bass to bamboo percussion, koto and yokin, (Kiyohiko Semba also provides wadaiko, tsuzumi and tabla percussion) cynics could maybe criticise Rice Music as an exercise in plastic Orientalism for worthier-than-thou world music wannabes. Yet, at a time when the likes of Sakamoto, Bowie, Japan, Eno, Byrne and Nelson were blurring the boundaries between ethnic and experimental, traditional and transcendental, Rice Music is an LP that constantly throws up surprises and only underlines the energy and imagination of post-punk pop during this era.
The cover shows the artist sat at a desk in a fetching mauve trolly dolly meets International Rescue outfit. His heavily made-up, prettily androgynous face stares enigmatically into the distance, one hand balanced on his chin, the other plucking a guitar. To his left is a huge globe, angled to show Japan, China and the far east. The message is simple; the world is shrinking and old codes of sexuality and culture no longer matter. ‘New York-London-Paris-Munich-(Tokyo), everyone‘s talking about Pop Music! In 1982, anything appeared possible.

Phil Mison - Pen Portrait
Best known for his uncanny ability to produce flawless Balearic sets as a DJ, as a remixer par excellence as one half of Reverso 68 and for his own subtle moodscapes as Cantoma, Phil Mison is widely regarded as one of the nicest men in the known universe. Rather than ask the great man a load of bullshit questions about music n’ stuff however, we thought it’d be far more revealing to find out what makes Phil tick by asking a load of trivial nonsense in the style of a Shoot player's profile instead.
