Buzzsaw Joint was born of a club offering Londoners the chance to revel in the sounds of good ol’ trashy rock’n’roll in all its vintage vinyl forms. Club top-cat, Fritz, then took the primitive Buzzsaw sounds online with a series of savage Mixcloud mixes created by record fiends from all over the globe. Now, the high-octane energy of Buzzsaw Joint has manifested into the physical form with a run of compilations on Stag-O-Lee. Get your ears around the wild’n’weird sounds of the extraordinary and inimitable Buzzsaw Joint!
Cut number three comes from Pavinyl, a gent whose ride is a decked-out disco-hearse that, in his words, “puts the fun back into funerals”. Vowing to ‘Keep Music Evil’, his club night, Mockers, has had the British market town of Stroud dancing for a decade. Mockers initially played on the musical blur between Mod and Rock’n’Roll culture, but now ventures further afield. As does the DJ himself - his records have hyped hep clubs from Barcelona to New York. On this Cut, Pavinyl shares 18 exotic pearls. From the jungle to the orient, ancient Egypt to Native America - hold on tight, it’s quite a trip!
