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…
December 28, 2021“Water is wet” – Shabazz Palaces, 2020 Following from the goal to capture the four elements sonically, we’re closing at 2022 (and Seasons Change 2021) in tribute to the December solstice with a dedication to Water. Jimmy Monsta Funk and Kamikaze stepped up to deliver 30 cuts over two and a half hours drawn from their collections. Some words from the…
September 22, 2021The Seasons Change series has been a blast this year, a beacon for us to come together at a time that life sometimes gets in the way of records. With the most recent Equinox (Spring for me, Autumnal for the Northern folk) we’ve rolled out our offering to the element Gods in the form of a Fire show. ‘Fire’ was…
June 25, 2021Here we are again, the next instalment of Seasons Change for 2021. We convene every Equinox and Solstice to welcome in the new season, and this year have themed the mixes around the four elements: earth, wind fire and water. I’m out of the picture this round with the birth of the latest addition to the Pettinger clan (welcome to…
March 21, 2021Happy equinox all. For Seasons Change this year we’re looking at the equinoxes and the solstices taking place across 2021, splitting the starting points for our sonic offerings between the four elements of Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. And while Jimmy Monsta Funk and Kamikaze aka Paul Ackroyd have never stopped peddling the goods, it’s definitely been a minute since…
June 21, 2020It’s been quiet here, and that’s probably been expected. There’s been sickness, job losses, the best and the worst of people discovered all over the globe and within our own backyards. I’m sure you’ll agree people much smarter than me have had much more relevant commentary to share as the world changes. For me personally, it’s been a pretty intense…
April 23, 2020Like so many great explorers before him Kamikaze aka Paul Ackroyd has been turning his thoughts to Space the last few years. Here he gives us ‘Cosmic Explorations’ across three hours. I love hearing his voice in full radio mode again, especially with the isolation we’re living through. Didn’t realise how much I’d missed it of late. This is…
March 20, 2020So much new music coming through to us right now. Off the back of Rollin’ With The 9s Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze brought a new concept to the table: The Equinox. This is Part 1 (in what will hopefully flower as another mini-series), his stunning contribution to the instant of time when the plane (extended indefinitely in all directions) of…
