eXCLUSIVE - eL Stinkeyes - "Psychedelic Passport Mix" (2011)

Finally got my Ableton software back up and running and automatically made this skin tight mixtape of vintage world psyche. Who knows what these guys are singing about? Who cares? Don't really feel like writing out a track list right now but i can tell you get at least 20 jams in about a hour. 

Thats good, BTW.

British Psyche Anyone?

UNGAWA - 106.7 FM - Antwerpen, Belgium

Ungawa first appeared as a command that Tarzan used to communicate with that cute lil' monkey named Cheetah. And now it's here as a great radio show that airs Sundays in Belgium. If it's old, obscure, weird, lo-fi, etc. it has or will be played here. I came across this through myspace years ago somehow and managed to catch a point where you could download past shows but alas, nevermore. Here are the first four broadcasts.

UNGAWA!

Dirty French Psychedelics: French Psyche Pop (2009)

Here's a great comp of some euro trash from the 70's compiled by Dirty Sound System.

Meet Rodolfo - Compiled by eL Stinkeyes

Kids, meet Senor Rodolfo Aicardi. He's a Columbian singer known for his ballads and boleros but also his versatility as well. I got hip to this guy by my old buddy over at Level One Studios.

I was asleep in a van and woke up to this old echoing twangy guitar (dig!) on top of a smooth bolero beat (dig!) and then enters Rodolfo's undeniable voice saturated in some vintage third world reverb. Someone give that man a trophy. 

Incertidumbre by Rodolfo by elstinkeyes

I mean, come on! The guy sits around pictures of himself and plays guitar.

Down below is a compilation hand-picked by yours truly that tries to stay true to his weird fuzzy, psychedelic, hazy ballad period, which by the way was never really accepted in Columbia. 

Disco Fuentes owns his catalog.

VIVA RODOLFO!

Os Brasas - Os Brasas (1968)

Os Brasas or The Embers was one of Brazil's finest exports in the 60's that never really saw the light of day outside of the Southern Hemisphere. They managed to recorded one album and a year later broke up and I remember reading somewhere that this LP being "polished" at the time. Usually that refers to the production element of the music but this is a super tape-hissing record, which in it's own right, gives it that nostalgic charm that people bend over backwards for these days in studios all across the land. 

Besides that, not much is known about this group due to their lack of longevity.

(Los) Blops - Iquique (1979)

Chilean psychedelic chameleons Los Blops/Blops formed in 1970. Their first record was recorded in less than a day and released by Discoteca Del Cantar Popular De Las Juventudes Comunistas, only to be destroyed by the military for association with the communist youth. They collaborated with the legendary Victor Jara and became part of the neo-folk umbrella Nueva Cancion Chilena. This is all during the brutal revolution and coup of Salvador Allende which led to the even more brutal military dictatorship. Nine years later they composed music for a documentary about the northern province of Chile, Iquique that is never officially released until a bootleg cassette appears with side A as the soundtrack and side B as filler from their first LP. Easy on the ears pastoral acoustic music with a whiff of psychedelia in the air. Peaceful resistance music.

For chingos of downloads from Nueva Cancion and Victor Jara click here.

Iquique is here.

Los Holy's - Sueno Sicodelico (1967)

Once again leave it to Peru to dig up some pure awesomeness. Los Holy's  debut album is basically fuzzed out Duane Eddy surf guitar, sopping wet with reverb farfisa, Ayahuasca and alot of imagination. Very cinematic in scope save the Hawaii Five-O cover. It reminds me of  Joe Meek's Vampires, Cowboys, Spacemen and Spooks. Maybe I'll post that someday too.

Meet Sandro - Compiled by eL Stinkeyes (2010)

Let's state the obvious. I'm a sucker for anything old and latino. So, in honor of Sandro's passing I compiled my picks from the 4 out of 50 something records he made. "Pintados Por Dios" is worth the download itself. We'll call it "Beat Latino." Here's to The Argentine Elvis. He has officially left the casa.

eXCLUSIVE - eL Stinkeyes - Brown Acid Mix Vol 2. - "Vamos ala Go-Go Mix" (2010)

Oh the road of crate digging, analog or digital, it can be rough most of the time and the rewards are few. Listening to hours of middle of the road music just to find that one gem. Culling through the dregs of music history. Its kinda like cleaning up somebody's house after they passed away and going through a bunch of bullshit. 90% of everything winds up in the garbage while you go home with a lamp or something. Well guess what? Who passed away? Psyche rock (R.I.P.) and here is the lamp I'm bringing home to you that's gonna shed some light on the Latin American psyche scene in the 60's.

Now I must admit I'm more of a fan of the gear than the music of the 60's. I like the sound of the recordings more so the sound of the music itself. No, I dont want to hear "Satisfaction" or "Day Tripper" covered in Spanish. No, I dont care if your wearing Syd Barrett's dirty underwear dipped in LSD. Just be a young Latino and give me a hook goddamnit!

In the late 60's it referred to a form of peruvian pop music that fused cumbia with electric guitars, fuzz pedals, wah wahs, and farfisa. For a good historical account go here.

EXCLUSIVE - eL Stinkeyes - "Brown Acid Mix Vol. 1 - El Estilo Tranquilo" (2010)

Fact: I have way too much music. Fact: I have way too much time on my hands. So, I am now making mixtapes for the people and I am starting with a laid-back latino psyche-rock compilation.  All of these songs have been pre-approved "choice" by me. I just have a penchant for old shitty recordings, twangy guitars, echo chambers, lush string arrangements, and lost Latin American culture.

1. Bichos de Candy - Tu Figura
2. The Brazilain Bites - Fas Feliz Assim
3. Os Brasas - Meu Eterno Amor
4. Los Gatos - Viento dile a la lluvia

6. Freddy Fender - Dime
7. Los Pasteles Verdes - Esclavo y Amor
