DJ Paisley Babylon Fear Mix for HorrorHound

Since I’ll be attending the HorrorHound con March  27-29 in Indianapolis with the Kitley’s Krypt crew, I thought it would only be appropriate to whip up a special DJ mix in honor of the con…the Spacesuit Sounds FEAR MIX features an exclusive Paisley Babylon mashup/remix–Goblin Vs. Daft Punk. It kicks off a great DJ mix of tunes including stuff from the Blacula soundtrack, assorted giallos, the giallo-obsessed Skinny Puppy, and much more. Download or listen and please don’t forget to support the bands–if you like the trax, download ’em via iTunes or Amazon where available.

As regular readers might guess, I’ve got a huge collection of giallo soundtracks and related sounds, so I figure it’s only a matter of time before I get off my duff and start spinning at Chicago horror events and related outings. It will be great to mix and mash for a new crowd…the last time I did anything so specific there was a nice cult following involved and I really do love playing for that kind of an audience…if you like the sounds presented in the Fear Mix edition of Spacesuit Sounds, by all means get in touch.

(I have very reasonable rates for small and medium-sized events if you’re interested in booking…)

As usual, this DJ mix is made available to promote my work as a DJ as well as the artists played. Copyright holders, if you object please get in touch, removal will be swift.

WTF: Truth In Advertising with Krak Attack

Featured, WTF?, , , ,

For reasons I shall NEVER understand, some performers are obsessed with toilets and asses on their album covers. I broke out the Ouija board and consulted with Sigmund Freud about this, and according to Freud’s ghost the whole thing boils down to a  subconscious desire to sell music with truthful packaging. This record, no doubt, sounds JUST LIKE ASS.

P.S. I couldn’t bring myself to reproduce this album cover any larger than this size. Ick.

Suspiria Soundtrack

It’s easy to understand why some people in the 90s thought that Skinny Puppy frontman Nivek Ogre was involved in the recording of this amazingly loud, creepy and ahead-of-its time soundtrack for Dario Argento’s Suspiria.

The fact of the matter is, this was Goblin and Dario Argento working together after a fashion–no 80s industrial names were attached to this project even if it DOES sound a lot like what Ogre would be doing in Skinny Puppy on tracks like Dig It, Testure, and others.

Suspiria is an amazing, demented fairy tale. The soundtrack, like the film itself, must be taken on its own terms…and what a soundtrack it is! Still sought after, some editions like the Cinevox import CD are surprisingly pricey–especially in the age of digital downloads. Still, the most obsessed of us are willing to shell out, especially if the LP is available. Believe it or not, you can score a re-issue of this for around $25 on vinyl from…are you ready? BEST BUY. It’s currently listed as backordered, but still available.

Check out the American drive-in movie trailer for Suspiria and ask yourself if you can really live without experiencing this at top volume.
