October 31, 2016I 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…
October 21, 2016There’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…
October 9, 2016Last weekend’s Awkward Movements show on NTS now available for the digital rewind in it’s full two hour glory. Big ups everyone who locked in live, hope you dig it as much as we do. We featured new tracks from a load of our favourites, including The Silver Apples (though the above picture is 1968) who’ve dropped their first album…
September 30, 2016From 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. Apologies for the delay getting this up, been a crazy hectic couple of weeks over here. No words, just two hours of heat in tunes, including…
September 8, 2016Archive here for last week’s Awkward Movements show on NTS; full track list below and get in touch for download as always. I may start giving up on planning shows. Generally there’s a box of tracks I definitely want to play and then a pile of other joints that we might squeeze in if there’s time. And most of the time the…
August 29, 2016Paul 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…
August 18, 2016With our next show going out this weekend thought we’d see how late we could leave it before getting the archive up for the last one. Not really, but any excuse will do. Track list and archive here for the Awkward Movements on NTS that was broadcast at the start of the month. Reach out for the download link. Had…
August 9, 2016There’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…
August 2, 2016As the world goes to shit the records keep playing. A dope show from Kamikaze aka Paul Ackroyd for Awkward Movements on NTS last week. We definitely haven’t spoken about how good clipping. (pictured above) are enough. One of the best live shows you’ll likely ever see, make sure you do. Stoked to see it dropped in the show alongside…
July 20, 2016Love 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…
