August 19, 2014Out to everyone who locked in last week for the Awkward Movements show on NTS. Full track list below with streamed archive, as always get in touch for the downloadable version. Lee Gamble, Mark Pritchard, Anthony Naples and Euclid kicked things off early before we went more exotic with Greg Fox’s music based on his own heartbeat. We busted out the…
August 18, 2014Out to Tall Black Guy, one of the cats keeping us interested in the art of chopping for beats and 16-pad sampler mastery. We first spotted Tall Black Guy (TBG) aka Terrel Wallace as a Detroit based contributor on Spencer Graham’s ‘One Hour Piece’ installation, having been lucky to hook one of the three cassettes created for it. Digging a…
August 6, 2014Big show from Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze last week for Awkward Movements on NTS. Archive’s now gone up, and posted below for stream along with full track listing underneath it. As always, get in touch for download link. Loads of cuts we hadn’t heard yet, including a welcome introduction Shabazz Palaces (pictured above), appearing twice in the two-hour session with cuts…
July 25, 2014Once again, apologies for delays and lack of action on the site recently – life, oh life. Big ups to all who locked in to this for the first time around, and for those that missed here’s the archive from last week’s Awkward Movements show on NTS. New bits from Phork, Caustic Window, Filter Dread and House Of Spirits (remixed…
July 18, 2014Daytime Sunday is always a good vibe, especially when quality disco is involved. Celebrating the birthday of Larry Levan, Soul Of Sydney have invited Stephen Allkins aka Love Tattoo, Sydney-based dance music royalty, to headline their tribute night not just to the legend Levan, but to an amazing period in dance music history. Soul Of Sydney do a wicked party,…
July 14, 2014Archive and track listing below for the last Awkward Movements show on NTS Radio, and a wicked one it was too. Apologies for the delay in getting this out there, it’s been a hectic couple of weeks, but well worth the wait in this case. Paul Acroyd aka Kamikaze brought out some stunning records from all over the world, and…
July 9, 2014I’d almost forgotten about this piece of hip-hop bootleg gold, but the release of the Operation Doomsday in a lunchbox double-cassette package sparked the memory, and made me track it down once more. Mixed by French DJ / Producer Ugly Mac Beer sometime in the mid- or early-2000’s, the CD version of this was my go-to birthday present for heads for…
June 25, 2014Archive just gone up from last week’s Awkward Movements show on NTS Radio, and despite a bit of a moody schizophrenic start we hit stride pretty quickly dropping some of favorite plates and tapes of the moment. That amazing Jon Hassell remix 12″ on All Saints featured twice, as did the Rajasthan Street Music 2xLP on Sublime Frequencies, both must-have…
June 16, 2014On the sound system tip as always, had to share this live session we cam across last week. Aba Shanti-I Sound System recorded live on to cassette circa ’91-’92, digitised last year and upped to Mad Mungos Radio Soul for sharing. It’s something special, built to be played out loud, and not in the background. While a normal Aba Shanti-I…
May 29, 2014Stepped back in to the studios at FBi Radio last week, taking over Liquid Electric for one night in Andy Maxam’s absence. As I’ve said a million times before, FBi Radio is where everything started for me, producing breakfast before stepping on to my own show every Wednesday night. Going back there is like a pilgrimage home each time. Had…
