The Dead Albatross Music Prize 2016 – Results Show


I love Dead Albatross season. Living with a curated list of albums surrounded by a constant stream of radio and commentary while you decide which one’s are your top releases of the year is an absolute pleasure, mostly due to the quality of contributors. From the brain of Paul Ackroyd, what started as an alternate Mercury Prize has morphed in to it’s own…

Awkward Movements on NTS – 15.10.16 – Discrepant Records Special


There’s no doubt Discrepant has been one of our favourite label over the years, and hence the tribute show was long overdue. Last week’s Awkward Movements Show on NTS was two hours dedicated to a catalogue that’s constantly blown us away with it’s originality and breaking sounds. Paul Ackroyd goes through the catalogue since it’s inception in 2011, playing a…

Awkward Movements on NTS – 17.9.16


From the Radio Olympics almost straight in the Dead Albatross Music Prize, Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze emerged from hundreds of records sleeves for a dope couple of hours of music the week before last.

Awkward Movements on NTS – 20.8.16


Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze in control and selecting on last week’s Awkward Movements show on NTS. Two hours of awesome tunes, and since they’re such nice words that I’ve recently looked up and because I’ve overcome my fear of pretentiousness I’m going to include the words ‘idiosyncratic’ and ‘didact’ as descriptions this week. It’s been a minute since we heard…

Frankie’s Teardrops : A Tribute To Alan Vega


There’s a story behind this, and the delay in getting it up. Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze wrote a wonderful tribute to the man known as Alan Vega who passed away last month, to accompany this mix, only to have it accidentally deleted by yours truly. And while the words are lost the real tribute here is the radio show pulled…

Awkward Movements on NTS – 9.7.16


Love a good Container photo. The man otherwise known as Ren Schofield is in to his own brand of techno possibly even more than we are. And it always seems to come out best live. The new Container plate it just the tip of the iceberg for records we’ve been getting excited about lately. So much good music coming through…
