"Be Sharp Say Nowt" by Patrick Topping
Curated by: Caitlin Benoit
Spotify: bit.ly/BeSharpSayNowtPatrickTopping
Genre: #techhouse
It’s Tuesday and I’m currently staring at my computer screen with fake files up pretending to be working. What am I really doing at my desk? Listening to music of course and daydreaming of the next festival I’ll be attending with my friends. For me, that festival will be CRSSD in sunny San Diego. A 21+ over event and a lineup stacked with tech house and techno, it’s an adult playground who’s arrival I’m patiently awaiting. In order to get through these next 102 days until the festival, I’ll be bumping both new and old techno nonstop.
One song that never fails to make me want to just get up, quit my job, and start dancing is “Be Sharp Say Nowt” by Patrick Topping. If you haven’t heard this song before, you're in for a treat. And if you haven’t heard of this DJ before, you’re in for an even sweeter treat.
Since entering the scene in 2012, Topping has released countless records, produced many number 1 hits, and won several DJ awards. Originally from England, the 30-year-old legend climbed to fame in his hometown of Newcastle only to eventually play festivals such as Tomorrowland, Coachella, and Awakenings. Currently, Topping has been one of the most in demand DJs for lineups globally, throwing down one of the finest sets of the weekend at wherever he plays. After countless records released on popular labels Relief and Hot Creations, Topping took his brand to the next level and created his own label TRICK, where he’s released his latest track “Watch What Your Doing”.
Although not on the CRSSD Fall 19’ lineup, Topping will surely be getting me ready for my retreat back down South!

Old Graffiti by Bibio
Curated by: Mike Floeck
Spotify: http://bit.ly/OldGraffitiBibio
Genre: #indierock
Stephen Wilkinson has figured out a thing or two about timing and tempo: Ribbons is Wilkinson’s tenth album as Bibio, and although his tenure resulted in a bit of diversion and experimentation, his predominant lane resembles folk music and experimental electronica without breaking a sweat about the comparison. Ribbons sits right in this lane: “Old Graffiti” settles down like a fresh spring rain shower of medium density, pattering against the windowsill, drops randomly striking at different angles and intensities. Wilkinson’s voice apparates from seemingly nowhere, echoing short syllables that he coos and barks through the song.
Bibio has credited phonemes as influences for his uniquely bizarre lyrical phrasing and articulation. Phonemes, per Merriam-Webster, are “[members] of the set of the smallest units of speech” that separate and identify one syllable from another. An example is when two words end in different consonants yet sound phonetically similar, e.g. “tad” and “tab”. The phonemes would be the “d” and “b” sounds, distinguishing the two words but just barely. You feel the tension of the “p” hanging on Wilkinson’s lips as he sings “makeup” and the word echoes rapidly behind; you sense the restraint as he transitions from the hard “e” sounds in “graffiti” into a yodel, howling over the plains of his percussion-driven arrangement.
Speaking of percussion, Bibio says “Old Graffiti” began with it whereas most of his compositions begin on guitar. He was “inspired by listening to old Batucada and Capoeira recordings,” both influenced by African percussion and native to Brazil. This broad-reaching influence lends an exotic air to “Old Graffiti”, a lost gem in a modern world. Bibio - Old Graffiti](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/L2ZZWXpR8QY/mqdefault.jpg)
