Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:25:15 +1000

M Division Recordings sadly presents the final tragic chapter in the Miserablist trilogy.
Four wrist-slitting anthems sliced and doctored by a mysterious Melbourne malcontent; pumped up space disco, soft-focus cinematic interludes, morbidly euphoric slowburners and thunderclap electro boogie.
Is this the end of the line for the Miserablist?

DJ Quirk - September in Shanghai

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:27:19 +1000

M Division's DJ Quirk is taking up a Saturday residency at Shanhai's Glamour Bar.
Check it out here.

Out now! MDIV 04 - Nacho Patrol presents... \"The Africa Jet Band\"

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 15:20:50 +1000

Nacho Patrol presents the Africa Jet Band, a six track EP of mind blowing afro-cosmic jams traversing the darkest corners of the dark continent.
Our journey begins in Angola, 1975. Castro sends an expeditionary force to assist the MPLA rebels in their fight for independence. El Fuego En Nosotros Todo is their story - haunting deep slowjam safari meets classic afterhours Loft.
Taking it's cues from the thriving Northern Rhodesia Zam-rock scene of the late 70's, Cheetahman is a psychedelic journey of strings, guitars and a deranged organist, whilst Small Stones is a fuzzy afro-funk experience, a tribute to Fela rocking out in a cloud of hashish with his 27 wives.
Hippo Aviation AKA Lagos Descent is the sorry end of a brave but corrupted Yom Kippur war veteran pilot, seeking adventure in Africa by smuggling arms, blood diamonds and bags of requisitioned UN rice. The punchy drums, funky guitar licks and relentless demented vocoderised chant are overlaid with Chicago-style strings, a true Africa Jet Band anthem.
The aviation theme continues with Caravelle, with its introverted Polygon Window style haunting piano
melody and swirling synths propelling the track through the clouds above West Africa.
Lastly, Stratus Chant, an epic psychedelic journey into Condrad's Heart of Darkness. Mysterious tribal
practices and a battle against the ghosts within, it sounds like a demented alternative soundtrack to 'Africa Addio' and is not for the faint hearted.
The package is completed with illustrations by Melbourne born K. Renowden, who retraces both her
African heritage and acid flashbacks with surreal and vivid scenery that make this masterpiece a true
collectors item.
Available September 14 through Clone distribution.

OUT NOW - MDIV 03 - Dennis Garcia \"Door to Dimension 4\"

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 11:56:20 +1100

In 1974 Melbourne based musician Dennis Garcia recieved a grant from the Australian government and the IBM Corporation for the creation of music using bio-mechanical feedback devices. With electrodes attached to his head and wired up with cables to trigger both drums and synthesizers, the resulting experiments were released two years later on the album 'Jive to Stay Alive'. Fans of the record included David Bowie, with whom Garcia played keyboards on the 1978 "Low and Heroes World Tour".
M Division Recordings present a piece of lost Australian dance music history: Garcia's psychedelic space disco jam entitled 'Door to Dimension 4'. Alongside the original is a straight digital disco rework from Bangkok Impact and a heavy guitar laden version from fellow dimensioneers, Inverto.
Available from September throughout the galaxy through Clone distribution.

Featuring: Alexander Robotnick (Italy) & Dj TLR (Créme Organization, NL)

We're trashing the trust-fund and pointing the Porsche back to coked-up Cali for a silver suited sophmore summer party!

So style your hair, wear your Gaultier, flick your fringe and meet us in Palm Springs for the Meccanoid Less Than Zero night of disaffected dandies and worked-up waifs. With special guests Italy's disconetic demento Alexander Robotnick and the hitman from The Hague TLR, more is more on the main dancefloor so you're set to score. So get out of the New Hampshire chill and get ready to thrill with synth lines hotter than a red corvette and more bright than neon at night. Meccanoid's residents James "Spader" Quirk, 'Jaime Gertz' Glitch, Not 'Robert Downey' Jan LL Cool Toupee and guest Dr 'Hot tub' Hysteric will primp your perm and top off your tan with electronic pleasures that reach further than Venice Beach.

In the studio room djs "Millionaire" Mittons and "Pouting" Peter Baker play tracks so penthouse-sweet you'll think anything goes with your gold stilettos and your model pose. Dress in shoulder pad pastiche or get pretty in pink, put on your crocodile boots and your designer suits, and party harder in our sonic suite than a broker from Wall Street at Meccanoid's 'Less Than Zero' soiree.

In anticipation of the upcoming 'Miserable Edits #2' release, we have a special mix from the Miserablist. Now for some words from the mystery man himself:

"More fast music for nervous people; a mix of some all-time classic and some more unknown new-wave and synthie-pop tracks that I like to play really loud first thing in the morning to blow away the cobwebs. Some dark tracks like Zwischenfall, others more optimistic like SSQ and a few guilty pleasures."

Up next is ‘The Apostate’, a killer body music tribute to Liaisons Dangereuses, featuring an improbable recorder melody and some spooky strings. On the flip is ‘Mano Kimono’, a raw and percussive disco freak-out given a proper Japanese-style zithering by way of a rocking koto. The remix is by Melbourne four-piece band Inverto, who transform the original into a nearly horizontal funk-synth-rock hybrid. Super limited pressing of 300 copies and available September 22nd through Clone distribution.
