For My Bliss

Twitch “Chop Dis Up (Dirty)” – I am not 100% certain if this is the same Twitch from Optimo in Glasgow, but either way this is the kind of quality track that I would expect from him. With its punctuating bursts of white noise, manic beat, and forceful, intimidating vocals, the song is raw and frenetic to the point of seeming like a violent fit. (Click here to buy it from Piccadilly Records.)

Mylo “In My Arms” – This composition reworks the keyboard riff from Kim Carnes’ “Betty Davis Eyes” into a dance track which gradually builds in intensity while at the same time feeling like one moment of pure ecstacy stretched out and sustained for four minutes. (Click here to buy it from Amazon.)

Elsewhere: I’ve been very lazy in keeping up with all of the new mp3 blogs popping up lately, but I do recommend checking out 20 Jazz Funk Greats, Music Is A Virus, The Stypod, Orbis Quintus, Mewsic, Womenfolk, and Sounds Of Sweden.

Also: Do you like Fluxblog, but wish that I would stop being so aloof and open a little, so that you could get a chance to know the real me? If so, check out this interview with me over at The Tofu Hut.

And: Though I am not sure whether it will run tomorrow or the day after that, Jess Harvell will be doing a special fill-in post here sometime this week.
