Radio Jiro #10 - Supermax If you’re in the mood for sexy, cosmic, disco, funky, reggae, afro vibes then look no further than the music of Kurt Hauenstein and his band Supermax. I first came across Supermax when I got a 7” edit from super art collective The Changes, I had no idea what the song was until I played it out one night and some guy asked why I was playing a Supermax song at the wrong speed, from that moment I discovered everything I could about Supermax which also led to my discovery of Cosmic music and playing records at the wrong speed. Supermax was very popular amongst the Cosmic scene and the first track I’ve chosen is their track ‘As Long As There Is You’ played at 45rpm instead of 33rpm which was a very common thing to do in the Cosmic clubs in Rimini. The next track ‘Ain’t Gonna Feel’ is the track that I had originally owned as an edit by The Changes but unaware of what the song actually was, but this time played at the correct speed, it’s 8 minutes of pure slow space sex music. ‘Spooky’ and ‘Push Push (Sexy Chocolate Girl)” are 2 more examples of Supermax’s sex drenched cosmic jams.

Radio Jiro #9 - Bappi Lähiri Keeping with the soundtrack theme this week I have gone for the music of Bappi Lähiri who throughout the 70’s & 80’s produced a number of predominantly disco themed scores to Bollywood movies. His most famous song is probably the track ‘Jimmy Jimmy Ajaa’ as it was covered by MIA a few years back, but here are 4 other tracks of his worth checking out. Also, as all these tracks were made for Bollywood movies they all have videos of Indian people doing crazy and completely unnecessary but equally amazing dancing to go with them HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.
