SILK FOR SALE

                                                            

STRATEGY "BOXY MUSIC" 12" (SILK021) $11

Prince of Portland Paul Dickow turns his no-nonsense Nudge-sludge awesomeness into revved-up, avant tech-house arousal as Strategy.  The moniker has found Dickow checking out hooks in his Community Library and niche-in’-out nooks on Kranky.  With SILK he separates: “Skanking Stabs” stomps with reverb canned-can drums, bouncing in a dancehall vault.  “Feel The Earth” is not your daddy’s acid jazz, with its bouncing house arresting piano bar tipped jar.  “Starry Day” soft serves up a swirl of 80’s vamp funk, contempo computer chocolate chips, and haywire Cyberdyne scheming sequences.  The dueling “Bolly Valve” tracks mix Arabic woodwind skill scales with whisper sizzle clatter data. Limited edition, with hot pink pop art Neu-bout-town jackets designed by the artist.  Strategic move for winning your love.

                                                            

POLYSICK "FLOW FM" CS (SILK026) $6

Tune in Tokyo, Rio, Rome, to Flow FM, Polysick’s choppy, blip-bloppy, reality-byting radio station.  Channel glide between robotic-chaotic dub, ecstatic acid static, sunny synth sampladelica, Jack-the-Risker groove stabs, Rowdy Rick Dees-sleaze, organ-doning vogue-zoning, crunk color wheelies, sweet jellies and sick jams.  And now a word from our SILK Sponsors: Flow FM has the sleekest sounds on the blare-waves.
