CALIFORNIA
French crew Dirty Soundsystem recently did a mix for the Fairtilizer blog inspired by the great state of California. The Dirty Soundsystem is Guillaume Sorge and Clovis Goux (and sometimes Benjamin Morando as a guest) and it´s more a compilation of nice tunes then a mix.
Here is what the man himself had to say:
"I made this special mix thinking of my future holidays in California with ‘Canardo’. Sun, sea & seals are expected. This is music for psychic road warriors. The end of the trip is taking place in Italy. Don’t ask me why."
Enjoy!
Dirty Soundsystem - California Mix
TRACK BY TRACK
Ash Ra Tempel - « Silence sauvage »
Manuel Göttshing, the mastermind of Ash Ra Tempel, is the god of mental music. This track comes from the soundtrack of « Le berceau de crystal » by Philippe Garel, one of the french lovers of Nico.
Tangerine Dream – « Love On A Real Train »
From the soundtrack of « Risky Business ». Horrible movie if you don’t like the 80’s, scientologists and Wayfarers, but great Tangerine Dream score.
Pino Donaggio - « Body Double theme »
This is the moment when chippendales are ringing at your door for a sauna party.
Bruce Springsteen - « I’m on Fire »
The boss with 80’s keyboards. What a song! After this, I was thinking of playing « In the air tonight » by Phil Collins but i prefer this one :
Suicide - « Dream Baby Dream »
The dark side of the American dream. Bruce Springsteen covered this song on his last tour. A masterpiece.
Christophe « Rock Monsieur »
Christophe is our french Alan Vega.
JJ Cale - « Ride me High (Joakim edit) »
Country laidback classic by JJ revisited by Joakim. For cocaine cowboys.
Wilson, Dennis - « Dreamer »
Dennis Wilson was a beach boy, a friend of Charles Manson, and a Pacific ocean lover. He drowned at Marina Del Rey, Los Angeles.
Fleetwood Mac - « Walk A Thin Line »
From the incredible « Tusk » album, the quintessence of the west coast spirit : paranoia and freeways under the sun.
Ennio Morricone - « Notturno Per Tre »
At the end of the road, The Maestro is waiting for an « Autostop Rosso Sangue ».
Ennio Morricone - « Lisa E Nikos »
Direction South Europe with this track from the « Dedicato Al Mare Egeo » soundtrack.
Pippo Caruso - « Identificazione »
Epic and lyric, from one of the sickest movie ever made : « La Maladolescenza »
Rondo Veneziano – « La Serenissima »
As we say : « voir Venise et mourir »
Steve Reich – « Pulses »
As we say : « The light at the end of the tunnel is a train »
