December 31, 2011You’d think having seen through an EP with Chairman Kato we’d be somewhat used to his creative outbursts or random activities that seem to make slightly more sense inside his head than in the real world. You’d be wrong. Only he could make a New Years Day broadcast called ‘Live From The K-Hole’ seem so depressingly appealing. The fact that…
December 23, 2011From day one of knowing who:ratio the man’s been an educator and proper vinyl figurehead. 2001 or 2002 was the year he gave me my first DJ Krush plate and blew my mind. Back then he was MCing and DJing with Foreign Dub, jungle crew from around Sydney, and spreading the love as far as he could. He was also forcing…
December 18, 2011Urban Allstar representer Neal Birnie has been one of my favourite London DJs for time, even before he hit 21. Probably the most naturally talented man I’ve seen behind the decks, the last few years he’s been honing his collection and skills digging and unearthing tunes at the highest level, and finally getting the props he deserves from his regular night…
December 12, 2011Stepping up with something he’s been promising for time, Timmy K has delivered a call back to his roots on the drum n bass and jungle scene. Some big plates here from a load of our favorite labels and purveyors of the amen break based electronics and beyond – including a load of Hospital who inspired much of his 24/7…
November 20, 2011Probably the most accessible thing Kamikaze has ever delivered for Awkward Movements Sessions, in what he’s calling his ‘pop sessions’ – though the quality hasn’t dropped one bit. A beautiful selection across two hours of some classics and some yet unknowns, and of course a bit of Sandwell District. Incidentally there’s a genius piece of writing on Sandwell District in…
November 10, 2011Something really special for Charity Queen’s debut sessions with Awkward Movements. The long time Kamikaze associate has outdone himself compiling a chronological mix of the history of electronic music. Not only has he delivered the mix starting in 1954 and ending in 2003, but a reading guide of about 1500 words breaking it down track by track as a nice…
November 5, 2011It’s been a quality year for NKC, having debuted on the scene with two acclaimed 12″ releases and built up a name for himself with props and drops from the leaders in the bass scene. Look for the live sets and shows unleashing around London before the end of the year. For those that missed it, there’s a 40 minute…
October 26, 2011Coming with some big up front business and a load of fire on wax, Raynulds steps up for Awkward Movements Sessions #37. Still killing it on the live scene, watch this space for info on his own productions – we’ve been hearing some early bits and pieces and looking forward to what’s coming. A bunch of records I’ve been playing…
October 5, 2011Over two hours of underground (and mostly electronical) goodness as Paul of Kamikaze steps in for a new Awkward Movements Sessions. Dropping some proper experimental joints in with some new favourites we’ve been vibing on or waiting to hear. Stoked that we introduced him to the term ‘regurgaplate’ last week and it’s now appeared in his blurb for the show.…
October 4, 2011Still boast so much love for FBi Radio in Sydney. And not least of all due to the massive debt I owe them in my musical discoveries, and more importanly giving me the chance to share them with a wider scene. I’ve not seen any FM station world over doing what they’re doing, and the fact they’ve gone from strength…
