Here's a nice track from "Please", a band from Sweden. To quote from the website: Please consists of Lena and Andreas. Lena sings, Andreas tweaks sounds. Based in Malmö, Sweden they create delicate and stark electronic pop music. Their efforts this far have resulted in a string of infectious and powerful tracks[...] Song: Please - Fluid Embrace (5:37 min, 13 MB) License: CC-by-nc-nd 2.5 SE Source: 23seconds.org Purchase from: ?

I said a boom, wakka chikka, wakka chikka, boom. Oh, man is this a great track from ccMixter.org that was posted to the site on Friday. Here at Camp BSWC, we are fond of our Sex and Space theme. This tune fits the bill on both accounts. Starting with the very velvety guitar sample posted by Victor Fourstones, along with the luscious spoken words from Marika, aka essesq, Spinmeister pulls together an extremely sexy number that is so hot you might forget the summer humidity. At least I did. [Update 7/23/08: The preceding paragraph is in error. Marika is responsible for "imádlak" and essesq bringing the 'pella to the table. I regret the error.] This selection should definitely be in consideration for the Wakka Chikka, Wakka Chikka, Porn Music for the Masses, vol. 3 (if one ever materializes).

Some bass, some drums, some jazz and some just so. This is a fantastic track from a recent anniversary compilation released by the netlabel, 12rec. The signature of this release is the mix of instrumentation and styles. A lot of organic sounds mixed in with the electronics. This track is has a nice, building jazz push that is heavy on the piano, bass and drums. Really excellent. Go to the release page and sample the wares...you are bound to find something you like. Plaistow - Yap Yap

I tracked down Frederic Choiniere. He's the film maker who presented his work at the pedicab workshop during the Towards car-free Cities Conference in Portland. Here's his film about the politics that swirl around New York's pedicab industry.

Go with this one. It really develops into an amazing piece of electronic music. Klipp is Hector Zarate and Jorge Soriano. This live track is from a Discos Konfort release called Ciudad de Mexico. Discos Konfort is a netlabel devoted to Mexican electronic music. They have some marvelous releases. I was reviewing their catalog and stumbled on this live track. I've listened through it three times and decided it was time I shared. Klipp - cs (Live @ Ciclo XT)

Well, damn it, I'm going to do it. I'm unsure of the license behind this download from Lushy's site, but here it is anyway. They have two tunes posted at their website, lushy.com. I'm digging on this little disco ditty...not to mention that it goes along with our unspoken sex and space theme here at BSWC. Lushy features a very good friend of mine, Andy Sodt-we go back to high school, by god. If you hang in Seattle, check them out. Lushy - Spaced Out

In yet another in a series of podcasts from the Towards Car-free Cities Conference in Portland last June, we examine the transformational power of human fueled machines on the urban landscape. I recorded a workshop on Pedicabs with Steve Meyer of Main Street Pedi-cabs, Peter Meitzler of Manhattan Rickshaw, filmaker Fred Soignan, and Jonathan Magnes of PDX Pedicabs.

Well, how about that, two posts on the same night. There is a lot of great music out on the net. Followers of BSWC will recognize our bias towards the mixters at ccMixter. One mixter has always intrigued us and his name is Cezary Ostrowski. This is a mysterious piece...haunting and beautiful. Ostrowski is using the entrancing vocals of Shannon Hurley who has issued a call for remixes using a cappellas from her “Ready to Wake” album. His work here is brilliant. Thanks to Spinmeister for including it in ccMixter's Editor's Pick section. Cezary Ostrowski - We are in love (very deep mix)

The Dutch netlabel, On-Mix Productions just posted their 100th release and its a doozy. It is called VA-The best ON-Mix tracks according to Kodjax [onmp100] They asked DJ Kodjax to pick the top 41 tracks from their previous 99 releases. I'm always up for a compilation so I put my ears to the metal. I found a lot of variety, but with the unrelenting beat theme going on throughout. You will definitely have to pick and choose your favorites...everyone will have a different reaction. I have several that have really struck me and interestingly enough, they are new to me. I have some familiarity with On-Mix and Kodjax introduced me to some really outrageous stuff. Thanks. There will probably be more from this release in the feed. Stay tuned.

Here is something new from the Foot side of the Bumpfoot netlabel. Bumpfoot is a netlabel based in Japan that has two sides. One is the Bump which features music that is more uptempo and beat oriented. The Foot side of the label is more laid back and relaxing. This is what we find with Jupiter Makes Me Scream. The release is called Tuesday Morning Hurricane EP and was posted at archive.org on Sunday, July 6th. It took me a couple listens to catch up with the beauty of these five tunes. I picked one to share, but I recommend listening to the complete release in order. They work with and compliment each other. Tuesday Morning Hurricane EP was produced by Karolis Buržinskas. He is the Lithuanian behind Jupiter Makes Me Scream. Enjoy this release. Jupiter Makes Me Scream - Alinai

Sao Paolo activists open Bicycle Plaza As every cyclist knows biking creates community. Instead of sitting in a tin can, cyclists are out in the world, reacting to their surroundings and interacting with the friends and strangers they meet along the road. Imagine the effect of even a small Critical Mass ride in a country that has been stultified by dictatorship for forty three years and robbed of its civil society? In another in a series of podcasts from the Towards Car-free Cities Conference in Portland, we attend a talk by Brazilians Thiago Benicchio and Eduardo Green about how it is to ride a bike in their country.
