So you thought exotic recordings only came form Hawaii or the USA? Well you´re wrong, Here´s a collection of amazing far-flung sounds from the UK. Rare, wild and just itching to turn your turntable into a strange pagan place of sonic worship. Just try and keep those cocktails flowing and your clothes on Britxotica! (pronounced Britzotica!) is a word you may never have come across before. We hadn´t either until DJ and tastemaker Martin Green made it up a few weeks ago. This new term neatly describes an odd and yet undocumented pre-Beatles musical scene where famed UK composers, singers and bandleaders threw convention on holiday and went wild wild wild! Using influences from Hollywood, Hawaii and holiday (any hot and frantic destination would do) they conjured up sounds to suit a modern but fledgling escaope from the grey treudge of post war London. The result or a bunch of rare, mod, wild and naively experimental trips into the tribal, but keeping the white suit, shirt and tie firmly in place no matter what the temperature. Fascinating, sometimes fierce and often absolutely bananas, this new album of old toss is an absolute trip!
