November 20, 2015Just back from travels, as always apologies for the delay on this one. The Awkward Movements show on NTS radio went out last weekend, covering a lot of ground; hope you dug it and it made sense. For those that missed it you can stream below with the full track list or get in touch for the download. The radiophonic…
November 5, 2015The weekend’s Awkward Movements show on NTS was a two-hour tribute to the man Ras G. Beatsmith originator, dimensional traveller, afrofuturist, vegan raw ambassador – we’ll stop there as there’s to much ground to cover with this man’s description. Heavily influenced by the cosmic teachings of Sun Ra (just check the his samples for proof), Ras G’s forged his own…
November 2, 2015The Dead Albatross season has once again come and gone, with Annabel (lee) being crowned the winner of 2015 for By The Sea…(And Other Solitary Places). And while we await the traditional winner’s circle photo there’s no reason not to grab a rewind of the finale in which Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze played all albums in contention and counted down…
October 21, 2015The weekend’s Awkward Movements show on NTS, now up on archive with stream and full track list below. Apologies as always for the delay on getting this up, currently about as sick as I’ve ever been. Well, actually, since year 8, where I was in bed for three weeks straight. Really got in to professional wrestling for that three week…
October 5, 2015Across the last three years of us doing Awkward Movements on NTS we’ve rinsed a lot of work from Bryn Jones aka Muslimgauze. And pretty much every single week during that time there’s been talk around doing the Muslimgauze tribute show, a documentary of sorts to share some of our favourite records and why Jones’ music remains a cornerstone of…
September 22, 2015The unplanned shows are often the best, and with chronic jet lag and a heap of good records the weekends Awkward Movements show for NTS turned out to be a new favourite for time. Probably didn’t hype up the new Beatrice Dillon (pictured above) plate on Where To Now? enough given it sat at the top of the show, but…
September 18, 2015…and on the evening of nominations, Murdoc Niccals did speak unto to the Mercury crowd, and thusly said “Mercury award? Sounds a bit heavy, man! Y’know sorta like carrying a dead albatross round your neck for eternity” and the Dead Albatross was born… Yep, our favourite time of year again, Dead Albatross Music Prize 2015 is just around the corner. Stoked…
September 12, 2015Back in touch with the internet just in time to post up archive of last week’s Awkward Movements show on NTS. Amidst the annual Dead Albatross madness, it’s Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze in session for two hours of tunes – a load of favourites for us and a few new pieces thrown in. The obligatory Muslimgauze and Sun Ra visits appear,…
August 30, 2015Once again, as standards, apologies for delay in getting this up. It’s been a hectic week and as we’re still travelling it’ll likely be the last post for about a fortnight. But couldn’t get on the plane without getting up the archive here for Awkward Movements on NTS last week. Cassettes were once again coming out our ears with drops…
August 23, 2015Not the weekend’s show but the one before – archive here for Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze’s last session on NTS radio for Awkward Movements. Full two hour show below with track list forthcoming. Exium kicks things off with A Taut Line, Annabel (lee) and a tune from the brilliant Tapes LP all featuring early on as well. Yep, the guy…
