My Top 10: Krankbrother
From East End street parties to raves on yachts, mountains and in jungle temples, Krankbrother have had an amazing few years. This month the London-based DJ and promotions team bring their brand of hedonism to Motion with a house and techno lineup to die for. The guest headliner is Panoramabar and Robert Johnson resident Gerd Janson, who is joined by NYC dub-house master Levon Vincent and Berlin royalty Margaret Dygas and Move D. Krankbrother siblings Danny and Kieran Clancy sent us ten of their all-time favourite tracks, which vary from punk to jazz via krautrock and disco.
Can – Vitamin C
“Amazing rhythm section….gets us from the go.”
The Cramps – New Kind of Kick
“Garage rock at finest. When we first heard The Cramps as teenagers our worlds exploded.”
Jackie Moore – This Time Baby
“The great Nile Rodgers produced this. Gets into a lot of our sets.”
Eddie Hooper – Tomorrow’s Sun
“Psychedelic with a groove. Never fails to lift your mood.”
William Onyeabor – Fantastic Man
“If you haven’t come across William Onyeabor you need to. Joyous and musically brilliant. How he wrote this music in Nigeria back then is a mystery.”
Lee Morgan – Candy
“One of our all-time favourite jazz records.”
The Modern Lovers – Roadrunner
“One of the greatest bands never to make the big time but a major influence on so many bands to follow. Boston attitude with misfit lyrics from Jonathan Richman – it just works.”
Miles Davis – Blue In Green
“A masterclass in improvisation from one of the greatest albums we’ve ever heard.”
Lee Hazelwood & Nancy Sinatra – Some Velvet Morning
“Sleazy lounge music, a country twang and a weird arrangement make this a haunting masterpiece.”
KC and the Sunshine Band – Give it Up
“Wedding music, given…but damn does it make you feel good.”
Krankbrother are at Motion on Friday, February 20. For more information visit www.motion.com
