Ssg special - Innercity

We might like some old Kevin Saunderson, but no, we don't have a mix from that Inner City... This Innercity (no space) is someone making some very weird and wonderful synth music on some excellent labels such as Aguirre, NNA Tapes, Not Not Fun and a range of other labels. While much of his output has been on cassette or CDR (much of which has been available through bandcamp), he has also released a number of records, and it was his "Future Life" LP on Aguirre that first grabbed my attention. There is something incredibly demented and warped about that record, especially the B side. It sounds like a very hazy, foggy dream after having a few too many painkillers. More recently Innercity put out a 7" on NNA, and again the B side was the winner. "The Pyramids Of Northeast Belgium", which is reminiscent of a very demented Legowelt track. His music has a certain weirdness to it that instantly attracts me, I like how he is creating his own little world. He is continuing along this path, as you can see in this a video for his upcoming "Clone Dinner" cassette on Ikuisuus.



Innercity has kindly put together a live recording for his ssg special, which shows off his otherworldly synth sounds. Compared to some of his releases, I find this recording more meditative, I have been enjoying listening to it at the end of a long day at work when my head is feeling rather sore and tired. I think where there is a strong similarity is that it is music you get lost in, you feel like you are entering into Innercity's world (or brain perhaps). Enjoy.

For more info on Innercity, check his blog. You can hear and purchase more of his music on his bandcamp. And right now he has a free album for download, "Cyber the last grind", which is a good entry point into discovering more of Innercity's world. He also has a LP coming out in a few months on Further records, and is part of a double split on Aguirre. So plenty more goodness (or weirdness) on the way. Big thanks to Innercity for this recording.
