September 26, 2011Been catching up on the EPM Podcasts since Ben Sims delivered an epic mix a few months back. Stoked to see the latest one coming from DJ K-1 of Aux 88 fame though, a nice session that sees him busting through a set comprised of originals – a lot unheard and unreleased – and remixes from the duo’s impressive catalogue.…
September 21, 2011Can’t share that much about That Fucking Boy to be honest. He’s got absolutely no internet presence, but as a massive Kamikaze fan he’s been in touch since we first moved the shows to Samurai.fm, and has been sending us through some brilliant bits from thereon in. A bit like Daojia, he seems to pop up for a few weeks…
September 1, 2011Over two hours of techno and house, mixed live, one-take on two turntables, nothing but wax. Not only as music educator but as a DJ too Jimmy Monsta Funk is proper next level, especially here in his element where the majority of the tracks are either from Detroit or influenced by the music from the city.. There’s old electronica from…
August 31, 2011Out to Robert Luis of Tru Thoughts fame for getting in early on tracks from the forthcoming Science & Romance EP (AWK004) by Chairman Kato. Dropping in October, watch this space for more info as it comes, but for the time being we can reveal the full track listing for the vinyl. 1. Pressure Differential 2. Low Rises (Andres Detroit…
August 25, 2011Another session we’ve been looking forward to dropping for time, NKC (or NKC Productions) steps in to the mix with a mix recorded live on two CDJs. With a couple of 12″ releases (including an Awkward Movements wax debut) this year already and another forthcoming he never ceases to amaze us; pretty much everything he produces is brilliant. 28 tracks…
August 19, 2011Stepping in to Awkward Movements Sessions comes G.Davies. Big fan of what the man does, and keeping with the recent vibes he’s done it all wax, recorded live. Loving the fact he opened with a Sunn O))) joint before moving across a dope selection of his top 130ish tracks from the last few months and a few influences outside of dance…
August 13, 2011Our resident photographer Timmy K steps back in to the mix for his second Awkward Movements Sessions in nearly as many months. Constantly vibing on new joints, he’s been also been educating us as of late on the heyday of jungle raves, flyering and tape packs that we missed out on the first time around. Always out shooting, its…
August 5, 2011It’s impossible to get bored of what Kamikaze does. Paul Ackroyd on his lonesome once more, managing to fit in 2 hours worth of radio from all eras and worldwide locations that’s absolutely mind-bending in many ways. No idea how to generalise the first part of the show that opens with soukous and highlife before somehow moving in to…
July 28, 2011A somewhat unstructured Awkward Movements Sessions that consisted of pulling a load of records purchased somewhere between Sessions #20 and last Friday, then played in what was meant to be a coherent order. With some heavy mixes being delivered as of late, straight wax from Raynulds and Jimmy Monsta Funk I thought I’d put the mic aside for this one…
July 25, 2011Big ups to NKC for delivering on this mix for A Fly Variety blog, and to AFV for sourcing the talent to kick off their mix series. Incidentally if you’re still sleeping on The Pyramids EP it’s definitely one to pick up, not forgetting his limited plate dropped for us a few months back, Marie / Ghettotechno. A more…
