Cast-A-Blast Press Release

Carlton Livingston | Blend Mishkin | The Burger Project - Born Troublemaker

 When Cast-A-Blast head honcho and Athenian producer Blend Mishkin was requested to produce the Φτηνά Χαρέμια (Fthina Xaremia aka Cheap Harems) e.p for the Grecian maestro's The Burger Project he certainly didn't envisage the creative tangents that were to follow. 

Famed for their alternate takes on contemporary classics The Burger Projectconceptualised this particular e.p with a view to digging deeper into traditional Grecian music and bringing it into the 21st Century, enlisting help along the way from legendary vocalist Matoula Zamani the e.p was released to great success. 

With its ska inspired horns and skanking vibe already in place Blend Mishkin's natural passion for reggae infused music was instantly drawn to the Τσιγγάνα (Tsikana aka Gypsy Woman) track from the release and it immediately acted as inspiration for the project we bring you today.

Having expertly re-worked the original foundation into a new dancefloor friendly, rump shaking backdrop, the only thing then required to propel this masterpiece to the next level was to recruit a suitably talented vocalist with which to bless it.

After 35 years of consistently releasing ground-breaking hits through some of the most iconic labels in the industry (GG's, Studio One, Dynamite, Volcano, Techniques, Taxi, Powerhouse, Jammys, Hit Bound etc etc) the reggae pioneer and living legend Carlton Livingston could not have been more perfect for the job.

So with divine inspiration in place, a deftly crafted, epically proportioned instrumental formed and verbal blessings from a legendary wordsmith complete, Cast-A-BlastRecordings proudly introduce to you… a Born Troublemaker

Hüsker Dü on Late Show via Dangerous Minds

“Joan versus Johnny” was kind of the 1980s version of the Conan-Leno battle of 2010. For several years Joan Rivers had been the “permanent guest host” of The Tonight Show—her brassy style decidedly struck a chord, and her catchphrase “Can we talk?” became an ‘80s “thing,” just like breakdancing or Robin Leach. As Carson’s inevitable retirement neared, a memo circulated within NBC listing potential successors, and Rivers’ name was pointedly not on it. So she jumped to her own show on Fox in 1986, and the wounded Johnny never spoke to her again. In retrospect, Johnny doesn’t come off looking too good, and also the sexism of the late-night talk show game is particularly evident—Rivers was basically penalized for being an outspoken woman a little before her time. Although, come to think of it, Chelsea Handler notwithstanding, there still aren’t a lot of women doing late-night talk.

Meanwhile, after several groundbreaking and powerful albums, the great Minnesota band Hüsker Dü (Danish for “do you remember?”) dominated the indie rock world, and then they made a similarly calculated jump of their own—to Warner Bros., a “major label.” Hüsker Dü‘s decision to leave SST sent shockwaves among indie diehards, many of whom had themselves toiled for years in the ranks of the hardcore/punk underground. The idea of an independent band moving to a major label was, to many, unthinkable before that point—this was a precursor to the Geffen/DGC signings of bands like Sonic Youth and Nirvana just a few years later. Hüsker Dü‘s decision didn’t really work out that well—they put out Candy Apple Greyand Warehouse: Songs and Stories, fine albums both, for Warner until longstanding tensions led to the band’s breakup in 1987.



So even if nobody knew it, in this video, dated April 27, 1987, we have two things that were about to come to an end: Hüsker Dü and The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers.

It’s kind of cool that the stage set is done up in the style of the Warehouse: Songs and Stories album cover, which Hüsker Dü was supporting at the time. The two songs they played are “Could You Be the One?” and “She’s a Woman (And Now He is a Man).” As they approach the desk for the interview, cheeky Grant Hart indulges in an extended embrace of Rivers. The interview is as stiff as can be, but Rivers, in her awkward, matronly way, actually raises some points a hell of a lot of indie rock fans were wondering about: What’s with the major label signing? Are you watering down your sound? The Hüskers’ answers have the whiff of politics to them, which under the circumstances is only understandable.

It’s striking to witness the promotional clout of Warner—there wasn’t any way in hell Hüsker Dü was nabbing such a big national late-night talk show before that—as well as the oddity of Hüsker Dü‘s stately, jarring harmonics in such a corporate setting.

I’m glad that both Grant and Bob Mould each got a crack at singing lead vocal.

DJ Rooms: The Miracle Technics 1200s Turntables

The Miracle Technics 1200s Turntables

v

Some weeks ago, we got in touch with Technics turntable embassador Angelo fromworks1200. He refurbishes your old and dirty beloved decks
 and brings them back to live with customized bodys and new parts. As we all know: Technics turntables die really hard. In the gallery of his
 previous clients and works, these rusty and sanded pair of 1210s really got our attention. When they arrived at his garage, they looked like
 they were jammed at a coral reef for several decades. It would take a miracle to bring them back to life. Angelo titled them as the most
 challenging decks he has ever done. Take a look at how these turntables came back to life with a wonderful glossy white body and new parts.
 You’ll never imagine again how these looked like in the past.

The two 1200s after the complete makeover.
