Filtered Listening X: 18/06/17

on Innov8 Radio w/ Electric Ape & Kubla Khan

Simon Electric Ape & Ben Kubla Khan take over for the 1st anniversary of the Filtered Listening show, and what a glowing selection they regale us with, back to back all-vinyl riffing, duelling off the cuff as always.

Opening with the beyond glorious cosmo funk of Macho City and bursting into the notorious Leather Nun' NSFW sleaze-punk groove... From there in it's all ebbs and flows; through easy funk, past disco and icey electronics and defrosting towards cyclic rhythms and refined techno territory.

Much advocated highlights from Ape & Khan respectively include a pair of exploratory outernational tracks, with Simon's inclusion of Holger Czukay & Rolf Dammers' spectacular Boat Woman Song and Ben dropping Hyperspace Is No Place, a typically absorbing hypno-rhythm from Don't DJ's recent 12" on Japan's Em - plus a taste of their shared passion for the Objekt 12"s.
