RUFF 004LP
|
Ruff Records presents the first proper reissue of Flat Static's 1985 self-titled LP, recorded in Reservoir, Victoria, Australia, and originally released as a miniscule private edition. This post-punk fossil exemplifies the late '70s and early '80s Australian experimental sound of labels like M Squared, Larrikin Records, and Jarra Hill Records, but with a subtle, funky form accompanied by experimentation with a TR-808 drum machine. Flat Static's members included performance artist Brett Band and early Australian computer pioneer Ant Wilshire. A rare treat from Australia's rich musical past, not to be missed. Silk-screened cover.

RUFF 003EP
|
The long-awaited first release from Melbourne diva house/bizarro group Zanzibar Chanel. "If Ru Paul and William Onyeabor had a love child," states the back cover -- a hint of the quirky funky productions that have come to define the sound of Zanzibar Chanel. Elements of Andras Fox tape funk and Tornado Wallace's sun-bathed synths, but with the raw edges of MPC production and a "don't give a fuck" DIY approach. This is the first vinyl release from Australian label Ruff Records, the lovechild of Zanzibar front-man and solo producer Zac Segbedzi.
