There’s no doubt Discrepant has been one of our favourite label over the years, and hence the tribute show was long overdue. Last week’s Awkward Movements Show on NTS was two hours dedicated to a catalogue that’s constantly blown us away with it’s originality and breaking sounds.
Paul Ackroyd goes through the catalogue since it’s inception in 2011, playing a load of rarer bits from the early cassette releases alongside the essential listening ones that continue to blow new fans away.
Label boss Gonzo features of course alongside the likes of Kink Gong, El Mahdy Jr. and Mike Cooper who’re three artists from the Discrepant catalogue who’ve hit our yearly ‘Best Of’ lists. I don’t even want to imagine a world where I never got to hear Xinjiang.
