Bleeding Panda presents Soundtrack For Naked Runners

“Filled with french perverse 70’s LSD funk, some monstrous jazz + samba flipouts, several cult and very influental songs mixed with ridicule of The Beatles and the non-existent hippie-parody Dewey Cox himself.

This small collection went through some big changes over time. At first, I made it the most obvious way – indie experiments with japanese and NY noise bands (OOIOO, Optimo, Pullsallama etc.) but that was simply to simple, raw and it was’nt “romantic” and humorous enough. So I basically shifted entirely from that direction into sex, retro, french, jazz, kinky, ridiculous direction and tried to make a sort of a “soundtrack” that is not that tough at rhythm but more into the freedom loving atmosphere of the swinging sex organs.

Standout tracks
, and maybe tracks that make this comp a must have (for those who never heard them before) are definitely: the gorgeous and life-fulfiling, jamming Andrew Bird’s Coney Island Shuffle, Janko Nilovic’s by far the best composition Xenos Cosmos from 1972 (the last 1 minute of the song is golden and the rest of his work is mostly crap), magickal Senor Coconut’s – Rydeen, of course Serge Gainsbourg’s cult classic Bonnie and Clyde, Sohail Rana’s Soul Sitar – a perverse take on bollywood humour (Guys from Ninja Tune label had lots of fun remixing this gem) and the infinite Piggies - spitting humour from The Beatles. Also, I should mention Marsha Hunt with her nipple shaking (Oh No! Not) The Beast Day, a strangely missed groovy 70’s funk club hit.” – Bleeding Panda

Pilooski Live at Mr. Saturday Night

The irrepressible Pilooski live in the mix va Eamon Harkin’s web spot.

“It’s been a very busy summer but now with Sunday Best and The Beach Party in full flight there’s a little breathing room in an otherwise hectic schedule to launch websites, release records and get through the general back log.

More to come on all of that in time but for now I’m happy to finally post a gem of a mix from Pilooski recorded live at the Mister Saturday Night loft/warehouse party from last month. No track list on this one but I can say its a treasure trove of edits from all the top players in the game. Just what you’d expect from the Parisian master. Here you go…”
