September 24, 2022With the ownership of land and culture being at the forefront of some leader’s minds right now, we’ve decided to concentrate on territories for our Seasons Changes mixes this year. To create a quartet of offerings, we’ve gone back to the old concept of the Four Corners of the Earth, with our corners consisting of Africa, The Americas, Asia and…
August 10, 2022Working around the globe in line with Equinoxes and Solstices, Jimmy Monsta Funk and Kamikaze continue bringing together a collection of records to represent a different corner of the globe. These sessions are epic. If you missed Africa (https://awkmo.co/four-corners-2022-africa-kamikaze-v-jmf/) I highly recommend going back to check it. Defining “The Americas” sonically is a difficult task. With the USA arguably being…
June 16, 2022I don’t know how I could’ve been any later on posting this, the first edition of the annual equinoxical rituals from Awkward Movements crew. The fact that part 2 for 2022 is just days away prompted me to lock myself away for a few minutes and share what’s become one of my most important listening pieces for the year so…
October 30, 2013The mark of a good music documentary is to present it in a way that people with no prior interest in the topic will find as engaging as those with a die-hard love and all the cynics in between. I got to watch Northern Soul: Keep The Faith last night and it’s definitely one that needs sharing. Big ups BBC and…
November 19, 2011Boom! It’s been too long since Shook Mag brought us something heavy to get together at, but well worth the wait. Come next Wednesday (30th) they’re collaborating with our friends at Strut Records to bring an exclusive London screening of one of the greatest Latin music documentaries ever made. Full details below, don’t miss it. via Shook.fm Wednesday 30th November…
December 20, 2014It was only a few weeks ago when I first hear of Mad Nanna, a group out of Melbourne actively releasing from 2010, occasionally toted as a four-piece but also, and in this instance a duo. And while I’m yet to dig through their catalogue at all, I’m totally smitten by this live album that I picked up on a…
December 15, 2014Very big cassette drop here that we had to get straight in to the headphones the second it arrived in the post. Glad we held out for the physical format of Level Up! before listening, as this is a heavy heavy mix, based around selections from one of the finest catalogues in dub that features some of the most amazing…
November 27, 2014We’ve been waiting for this one for the last decade; and thank god that someone with cash and time has managed to get it off the ground. Currently in it’s final stages and crowd-funding to get it across the line, the first proper feature-length documentary for Jaco Pastorius is looking to be released in the first half of next year,…
June 12, 2014Well hyped to be getting this, having waited pretty damn eagerly ever since the photocopied ‘forthcoming’ announcement that arrived in record box many weeks back. Since it’s inception in 2012 the NoCorner label has become one of my favourite imprints. Cassette only, buy-on-site releases that we always try and pick-up through RewindForward (RwdFwd) upon release, dropped in limited quantities and occasionally…
