October 22, 2012Last Monday was some of the best live radio we’ve heard in time. Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze was down in the Dalston station’s studio dropping some heavy plates of new releases and first time reissues in proper style. Next Awkward Movements show on NTS rolls out Monday 22.10, 2-4pm UK time, curated by yours truly, get locked. In this installment…
October 15, 2012Andrew Maxam invited me down to FBi Radio studios for a live session last Friday, and as unprofessional as it may have sounded (I’ll never laugh on air again, I promise) it was a load of fun. FBi Radio was where it all started for me, originally producing radio and editing interviews then hosting and programming a weekly two hours…
October 8, 2012Out to all who locked for last Monday’s show, ’twas fun. Despite the presence of new Will Dutta, Loscil, OPN and Kassel Jaeger we still leaned pretty heavy on some of the leftfied techno and house bits. New plate from Alex Cortex was a definite highlight as was the cut taken from the LP release of The Eccentronic Research Council.…
September 24, 2012Paul Ackroyd (pictured above) was live in studio for Awkward Movements on NTS last week – pulling out a load of wax we’ve been hyping over lately, tying it together in a damn classy fashion. As a bit of a tip, if you’ve still not checked the Seekersinternational plate on Digitalis that he drops in the second hour, get on…
September 17, 2012The Metalheadz tribute mix! We’ve been waiting for Timmy K to drop this on us for time. As we’ve stated before the man has two loves – taking photos and drum n bass. The email that came attached with this 25 track monster sums up the attitude perfectly, and we can’t think of anyone we would have rather had do…
September 11, 2012Talk about a hard act to follow, two hours before the last Awkward Movements show was about to start Eddie “Flashin’” Fowlkes stepped in to the NTS Studio with Debi of Debonair, and delivered a top notch mix live. A pretty special event to be listening to, he smashed out blinding track after blinding track, keeping the flow and blending…
September 10, 2012Here’s a nice way to start the working week, though due to it’s length probably something you won’t finish until the weekend; a full three hour set from the one and only Derrick May, destroying the dance in Japan. Following the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami hit Japan pretty much every single artist set to tour the country cancelled their tour.…
September 5, 2012Damn, Paul Ackroyd went all out on this one. Originally posting these while the London Olympics were on, the man sometimes known as Kamikaze pushed his record collection to the extreme, pulling out one track from every country competing. Pretty impressive to say the least, this is some dedicated digging with hefty results. In fact the more we look…
September 3, 2012Here’s something pretty special to start off the week. The Sheffield-based techno pioneers known as The Black Dog have gone ahead and thrown up a brilliant Berghain live set for download and stream. It’s done in collaboration with Electronic Supper Club, a new online spot that includes a Boiler Room-esque element that will feature an epic live show this week (more on…
August 27, 2012Paul Ackroyd back in rotation for Awkward Movements on NTS, doing it live out of the HQ in Dalston where the studio’s been refurbed and by all accounts things are looking tight. Taking it back to the roots, Paul pulled out a drum special, managing to include the new Powell, Anworth Kirk and the recently discovered but earlier released The…
