We’re pleased to announce the new album from The Bongolian ‘Moog Maximus‘!

Set for release this Summer the album sees the welcome return of The Bongolian, AKA multi-instrumentalist and Big Boss Man front man Nasser Bouzida. His fifth album under the Bongolian moniker continues the musical journey where 2011’s ‘Bongos For Beatniks‘ left off, taking us through the fractures of time like fellow traveller H. G. Wells. Nasser has now landed in ancient Rome, armed with a bank of Moog synthesisers over a bed of heavy grooves in a wildly eclectic fusion of Funk Soul Hammond Beat Jazz and a Sci-Fi Boogaloo!

Moog Maximus will be available on 180g Vinyl and CD and digital download…

Coming Soon!

Blow Up presentsYéyé Existentialiste – a compilation of the recording highlights of one of the world’s greatest exponents of lo-fi pop – Stereo Total. 

Stereo Totalis the Berlin based French-German duo Françoise Cactus and Brezel Göring, whose playful eclectic music incorporates anything from New Wave, Pop Electronique, 60’s French pop mashed up with trashy garage Punk Rock and Disco to form the band’s distinctive sound:“We’ve got a special sense of aesthetic. Cheap and cheesy, but still cool and chic”

Stay tuned for more announcements shortly!

Stereo Total ‘Yéyé Existentialiste’ now available to Pre-Order!

The double album features 28 recordings (track listing here) that span Stereo Total’s twenty year career: including tracks from their first album ‘Oh Ah’ (1995) to their last studio album ‘Cactus vs Brezel’ (2012). It also includes several new mixes including a radically reworked – ‘Everybody In The Discotheque (I Hate) –  (Blow Up mix)’. Both CD and Vinyl contain new liner notes about the tracks contained and lyrics. All the recordings have been re-mastered by Noel Summerville at 33/45 Mastering London.

EARLY ORDERS FROM THE BLOW UP SHOP HERE (LP & CD) COME WITH A LIMITED POSTCARD SIGNED BY THE BAND >>
