Ahh, now here is a fantastic musical treat for you all. On August 4th this year, David Last of The Agriculture stopped by the Resonance studio to perform a live set. As this set went out as a Clear Spot (a 90 min. nightly slot on the station where artists basically take over, and do what they want), some of our usual Rhythm Inc fans missed it. So, we are delighted that the good folks over at The Agriculture have given us the go-ahead to podcast the session for those of you that missed it.
For those of you who haven’t yet heard of David Last, you’re in for a real treat. Its quite rare these days that you can truly claim that someone has a sound of their own, but in David’s case that sentiment most certainly applies. Fusing dancehall-style rhythms with almost a minimal house kinda vibe, he weaves together a sonic collage that draws you in and hypnotises you from the get-go. Don’t be mistaken: this is post-club music at its finest – the kind of thing you put on when its 3am, you’re tired as hell and wanting to wind down after a night out on the tiles.
So, sit back, relax and enjoy a real treasure we think too many people missed. For more information on David Last, check both www.theagriculture.com and www.davidlast.net. Be sure to buy his album “The Push Pull” too, from which some of this live set is drawn. Trust us, its an essential listen.
But for now, just enjoy the music, for this is what its allllll about!
The ROMVELOPE session you are about to hear was originally aired live on the You Are Hear Show on Jan 31st 2005
Inspired by noise legends Prick Decay, Evil Moisture and Tea Culture, amongst others, Bjrn Hatleskog’s persistent inability to be as amateurish as the above mentioned led him to quit music for twenty years. Eventually, after a chance meeting with angus keith (aka Atom truck) in a Norwegian sweet shop , he learned to accept, even love, his own high-powered, obtuse, academic style. Thus was born the ADAADAT label.

“Aged just minus eight months Joe Howe (aka Germlin) was entertaining his mother with compositions from inside the womb. As his fingers developed the music became increasingly accomplished. He was born one of triplets, the other two siblings being a normal, healthy sampler and a bouncing 3.2 kilogram modular synthesiser.”

The OMMM session you are about to hear was originally aired live on the You Are Hear Show on Nov 15th 2004
“OMMM is the pseudonym used by a reclusive Tibetan guru linked to the ADAADAT label. Rarely seen in public, his devotional performance style and mysterious, shifting rhythms and harmonies have been known to drive worshippers into such a frenzy that they began to eat each other. Raw.”

Midnight Sex Talk this week was a feast of information. A big thank you to clinical geneticist Dr Adam Shaw for explaining so much so clearly.
We started off by talking about The Cement Garden by Ian McEwan (1978), which I think, for a lot of people, was a seminal early introduction to incest; in literature and elsewhere. I well remember the smells from that book, and the giggles at school.
You’ll here the word consanguinity a lot. A consanguineous marriage is between any blood-related people, but not necessarily closely; it’s more accepted in some cultures than others. It improves the odds of genetic diseases in children, and the more closely related you are, the worse it gets. The basic medical conclusion is, if you’re going to have an incestuous affair, for god’s sake don’t have children.
The flipside of Genetic Sexual Attraction is called the Westermarck effect. Have a look at the studies of kibbutz children and Chinese arranged marriages, where tiny girls were sent off to the future boy-husband’s family for pre-marital conditioning. The studies tell us that familiarity breeds contempt, and after growing up together as children, most people would rather go and live in a poorly-heated shed at the South Pole than get it together as man and wife.
We also played a clip from Chinatown. If you haven’t seen it, go and get it now.
