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 21, 2012Proper return back in to Awkward Movements Sessions with Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze delivering up what we’ve dubbed The Coma Skank Session. We’re back on this proper now, watch for the regular. Big ups Kamikaze as always, one of about 18 shows he’s serving up for various factions in the months to come, don’t sleep on what he does. It’s…
December 17, 2012Whilst we’re saddened by the news that the “female singers who wear glasses” special may have just been a rumour started by Paul, we are properly chuffed with the two hours of tunes he smashed out. A load of techno combined with favourite eclectic pieces from the likes of Ghedalia and Nancarrow – perfect combination, a dope show. I’ll be…
December 3, 2012While it seems the curse of the long-track is back, last Monday’s Awkward Movements show was dope fun, big ups all who locked. Loads of catch-up to play as well as two highlights from Pan who continue to smash it with recent plates from Lee Gamble and NHK’koyxen. Been wanting to drop the Terre Thaemlitz and Fennesz new bits for…
December 2, 2012The Raimo run Lampuka Records smashed it earlier this year, with the Basic Famous boss inaugurating the release schedule with Tomas Rubeck on LAMPUKA001. Good news then that the next 12″ is rolling out to stores this week, hand-stamped limited wax styles as always, with digital coming in a little time after. The four-track EP comes courtesy of Pistol Pete,…
November 28, 2012Just a quick video post this one, more info on the record closer to the release date, but with the constant fascination and love of archive soundtracked by house we wanted to share this around asap. Phonica-fam Brian Not Brian and a chap named Salik are launching their new label – Going Good Records – with a release from Atlanta…
November 21, 2012What was originally going to be a ‘Dead & Alive‘ show turned in to two hours of quality musicians who’ve passed away with incredible legacies. Right after recording this Paul Ackroyd jumped on his bike and is peddling around various parts of the country, no doubt picking up tracks and recordings along the way. Next Awkward Movements show on NTS…
November 5, 2012Awkward Movements on NTS – now with more bleeps and bloops than ever before! Had mad fun with this show, finally got off a load of digital promos, CDs and forthcoming gifts that we unfortunately largely ignore when there’s new wax dropping in to the bag on a weekly basis. We should work on fixing this, as there was a…
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 30, 2012Always timely and on point Jimmy Monsta Funk steps in with a playlist for friends and fam stateside to sit out the storm. Not sure how Storm Queen got left out but the Incognito joint more than makes up for it, listen in order if you can. No gimmick here, just an opportunity for a proper electronic journey in these…
