Janko Nilovic goes voodoo

" Janko Nilovic is one of these extremely productive musicians. He was especially hyperactive in 60s and 70s and it is almost impossible to gutter all the information about his recordings. He says that he has recorded at least 150 singles and maybe even twice that figure. He has recorded also under following pseudonymous: ALAN BLACKWELL, EMILIANO ORTI, JOHNY MONTEVIDEO, ANDY LOORE, HEINZ KUBE, BILL MAYER, ENNIO MORANDI, PHILIPPE GRAY, THE TEXAS TRAVELLERS and probably some more. He is still very active and composing in all the styles as he used to (clasical, pop, jazz, funk...). " From Janko Nilovic official webpage.

Now you can listen to 3 Janko's VERY RARE 7' records, under the alias "Voodoo Ju Ju". Thanks to the original "diggers/rippers/uploaders" Dj Alfonso and Christian Aubrun

Blasfemea - Galaxia Tropicalia

La Lisbonera

Blasfemea’s Galaxia Tropicalia is a psychedelic electropop album that, while not made by women, is decidedly about and possibly for them. This Lisbon-based quartet of adorable, dark-haired boys makes music that, at least in theory, pays homage to women. This sort of sweeping statement is problematic, because really, when has “woman” ever been a universal label? You can easily argue that what’s between your legs doesn’t mean much anymore.

Nevertheless, all of the songs on Galaxia Tropicalia have stereotypically female names: Catherine, Lindsay, and Kami, for example. On opening track and single “Maria,” the fellas sing about hot chocolate and doodling a crush’s name. “Ida” showcases the band’s afropop influences and features British tropical music rock band Dead Kids.

Blasfemea—BLSFM for short—isn’t afraid of experimenting with various Latin sounds. That said, their sound moves from fairly straightforward pop to manic, slightly confusing afrobeat and hard rock. On one short album, it’s more confusing than interesting. Even though the band relies on Latin influences and hails from Portugal, the entire album is in English.

Their cover of Michael Jackson’s “Dirty Diana”—simply called “Diana” this time—is a tough sell. I love a cover song, but this remake doesn’t work for two reasons. It’s not only too soon to be sampling a King of Pop track; this cover is remarkably bad. The original is a gem and thus difficult to reproduce. I couldn’t even finish this version. Stick with BLSFM originals.

Check tour dates on the band’s website, but note that the text is in Portuguese.
