This week’s solipsistic NATION features select tracks from Sleevin Records mixed by the label’s founder, Simon Littlewood, AKA Simo.
I know Simon through Goldilox. I knew Goldilox from back in the day when she was part of Boston’s emerging electronic music scene in the mid 80s. She was a member of D.D.T. Last year I put together a show featuring D.D.T. (a few months later I would feature a live set from D.D.T. on solipsistic NATION recorded from the station that made me what I am as a DJ, WMFO.), Big Catholic Guilt, You Shriek and Think Tree. It was great to catch up Goldilox, Elaine Walker and Noel McKenna and it came up that Goldilox had sine moved to San Francisco and was helping run Sleevin Records with Simon. I made plans with Simon to have him on the show but as happens from to time, those plans never came together.
Last month I noticed that a number of albums from Sleevin Records were being promoted by IODA Promonet, a great service I use to find music to play on solipsistic NATION which reminded me of my plans to have Simon on the show. We got in touch and here you are: today’s show.
This may or may not be true but I believe San Francisco is a hot bed for electronic music. I know other cities like Los Angeles or New York have electronic music scenes but there seems to be something special about San Francisco that has countless great electronic music and a community that embraces that music. Sleevin Records is a perfect example of great electronic music coming out of San Francisco alongside the likes of OM Records, Cheb i Sabbah, Asphodel, etc… The list is long.
Enjoys today’s offering of tracks from Sleevin Records!
