November 7, 2013Exotic Pylon as a label has got to be one of the best curated collections of music out there. No idea how Johnny Mugwump does it but he’s constantly turning out the best in experimental music on an assortment of formats. Here’s one release on the label that I’ve been rinsing even more than usual. Canonbury is better known as…
November 5, 2013Big plate from Dubkasm here, released on their own Sufferah’s Choice label in a nice 10″ format. Mixed by the legendary Aba-Shanti, it’s the level of pure dub-bass vibes that you’d expect to be hearing from both camps, with Ras Addis featuring on vocals for the title track ‘Jah Bible.’ ‘Jah Bible’ as a completed track is almost an epic…
October 28, 2013As the musical collaboration of Ekoplekz and Baron Mordant, eMMplekz on paper and in practice is right up our alley. There’s a new album that should be appearing in shops some time this week, titled Your Crate Has Changed, marking the 67th release on the Baron-run Mordant Music label. The best introduction to the circuitry and spoken word rabbit-hole existence…
October 23, 2013One of the most genuine and interesting cats out there has got to be Bass Clef aka Ralph Cumbers. Never met anyone who’s personality comes across so well in their range of music and live shows, never afraid to look at things from a different angle purely to see what sound it makes. Casually dropped two days ago comes two new…
October 17, 2013We’re big fans of Robin the Fog. As a producer / engineer / presenter of some of the finest radio for his own shows on Resonance FM and BBC, his activities from blogging to recording are a constant source of on-point amusement and often fascination that spirals in to an additional hour or so of personal research. Check his most…
October 4, 2013Eddie ‘Flashin’ Fowlkes is a stone-cold legend, and an essential part of techno history that Jimmy Monsta Funk constantly educates on. A new record then is always good news, and while this one may not be available until the end of the month (26th October release date to be precise) at least now we’ve got something to look forward. Over…
September 28, 2013When it finally clicked, the Ravedeath, 1972 LP hit me like sack of bricks…dropped from above cracking my skull that even before my head hit the curb, the blood and former two months of listening were spilling out. It was a belated but worthwhile introduction to the music of Tim Hecker, and out of LPs that I regularly play start…
September 24, 2013Very cool project this that we’re stoked to have been a small part of. Earlier this month Spencer Graham exhibited his follow up to last year’s Pressing Detroit installation. Going under the extensive title of 15:06:13-16:06:13/15.06.13/SG Subtitle: The One Hour Piece (The One Hour…), the work is a display and listening experience composed of records featuring ‘Detroit‘ in their title (by…
September 20, 2013Somewhat obsessed with this album this week, but can’t tell you exactly why, meaning what follows should be some pointless wording. As guitarist and founder of Hairy Pussy, Bill Orcutt’s got a reputation for outsider tracks and doing the music he feels is right; putting the ideas from his head on to wax with band accountability sitting over label or…
September 14, 2013Violetshaped have got it spot on with the latest remix plate. The collaborative pairing of Shapednoise and Violet Poison have only been around for about 12 months, and may only boast a self-titled LP and a last year’s The Great Mother Down The Stairs 12″as the only original catalogue for the group, but the impact of these releases was justifiably…
