Last Monday was some of the best live radio we’ve heard in time. Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze was down in the Dalston station’s studio dropping some heavy plates of new releases and first time reissues in proper style. Next Awkward Movements show on NTS rolls out Monday 22.10, 2-4pm UK time, curated by yours truly, get locked.
In this installment of Awkward Movements on NTS…
Glitchy magic from Grischa Lichtenberger; gloomy beats from Christian Cosmos; industrial twang from Monoton; broken dub with Seekersinternational; classic hip hop from cLOUDDEAD; static shocks from Emptyset; drifty business with Jan Jelinek; vocal silliness with Matmos; and some seriously epic electronica from the new Bee Mask LP.
That stuff aside, a couple of surprising remixes; a little rainforest chanting, a bit of tribal drumming, some stonking carnival beats, a slab of dub; and a few rather rude horns.
