February 20, 2013Probably the best lineup we’ve seen for a festival in a while, and it’s happening in Adelaide next month, with Unsound Festival bringing the Krakow originated string of events to Australia for the first time. Taking over a portion of the Adelaide Festival from March 14th to 16th, Unsound are giving us performances from OPN, Tim Hecker, Actress, Hype Williams,…
January 24, 2013One for the London heads; happening the first of next month two of our favourite associates and kings of the scene are taking over for a heavyweight lineup at Corsica Studios. Clone Records led by Serge and Semtek’s Don’t Be Afraid fam are the chosen affiliates to launch a new night at Corsica which they’re calling ‘Tender Hooks’, guesting a…
January 3, 2013Damn, surprised there are still tickets going to this, especially at the stupidly cheap price, but I guess Sydney Festival kicking off outdoors might have something to do with it. Strictly for the Sydney peeps, this Saturday there’s a lineup at Metro that smashes out any of the over-priced music festivals we’ve had come through on the season thus far.…
January 1, 2013In the order they were sent to me, here’s the Awkward Movements family’s breakdown of 2012. Big ups both L.I.E.S. and Pan, a lot of double up in the lists coming from two of our favourite labels who had an incredible roster of releases over the last 12 months. RAYNULDS Tunes Of The Year In No Order: Joy Orbison…
December 20, 2012Last two parties of The Hydra season, appropriately tying in with the end of the year and kicking off 2013. As always, lineups are looking heavy, and whilst Timmy K won’t be down there shooting we expect the usual stunning reports from both. Our friends at Border Community are holding responsibility for the NYE party, Nathan Fake and Luke Abbott…
November 23, 2012Too easy this. One email and you may get on the door for another heavy Broken & Uneven lineup. It’s happening this Saturday (ie tomorrow) at iCan Studios, with two of our favourite labels taking over a room each for Nonplus x Workshop. Kassem Mosse as well as Skudge playing live is worth price of entry alone, though not taking…
November 9, 2012We were hyping about the Bleep curated Broken & Uneven party a while back with the stunning lineup that delivered on all accounts. Part of the whole warehouse event was to celebrate the now released Karenn / The Analogue Cops 12″ (BLGPRN001), a limited edition plate done with Shaun Bloodworth supplying the artwork prints and as part of the package. Head…
November 1, 2012More joy from the Special Request group – not to be confused with the Phonica run label also called Special Request – with Ben Morris dropping into the mix for Mystery Mix #005. To be honest we’ve never got any idea what to expect when Ben steps on decks; the man’s a veteran selector with an ongoing eclecticism for club-based…
October 19, 2012For those London based there’s an incredible lineup on next weekend, happening at an East London secret location. It’s happening as part of The Hydra series from promoters Broken & Uneven, with Bleep stepping up for curation collaboration duties and using the occasion to launch their new label, a forthcoming 12″ done with Give Up Art and Shaun Bloodworth. It’s…
October 13, 2012Odd how everything dope in Sydney seems to be happening at the Opera House since we’ve been back. Iconic structure with amazing sound, but something still seems prematurely wrong about our new favourite venue for leftfield ideals and electronic movements being something you can buy a snow-globe model of. Come November we’re headed back there for Graphic 2012. Billed as…
