Taking place at The Crypt Gallery underneath the St. Pancras Church, the exhibition is running from 26th of May tot he 3rd of June, and is the collaborative effort of Ninja Tune musician Amon Tobin and London…
May 23, 2011Like we needed further proof how much they’re killing it, the Soundcrash boys have deliver what’s probably the dopest lineup for a bass night you’re going to see all year. Going down 11th of June at Koko, the night’s headlined by the one and only Mark Pritchard, performing under his Harmonic 313 guise. Quite timely really as the last…

May 19, 2011What makes an artist timeless without a 25 year back catalogue? Not sure myself, but Ekoplekz has definitely got it. Working from his analogue studio in Bristol, he’s been setting new benchmarks as of late, carving out his own genre crafting sounds in to music. His live shows take on a life of their own, abandoning the notions of studio…
May 15, 2011Since their relaunch earlier in the year our friends over at Example Magazine have definitely kicked things up a notch. Now over a year old, they’ve expanded their operations to all of the UK from being solely Manchester, and the scene’s repaid in turn, throwing up more photographers and artists down or the cause. Last month they hooked up with…
May 11, 2011New Wire just landed on my desk, packed with heat as always, including Demdike Stare doing Invisible Jukebox, a dope DVA piece, and quite brilliantly a review for NKC‘s debut plate, Marie b/w Ghettotechno. I’ve scanned it in below, and as with every month would definitely recommend picking up a copy of the print mag – the current one of…
May 7, 2011Our good friends over at dublab have just started their bi-annual supporter drive, and as always there’s a load of dope events and tunes accompanying. It’s been dubbed the “Turning on Tomorrow” Proton Drive and one of our favourite beat flippers and longtime labrat Teebs has been charged with creating the theme song for the event, which you can stream…
May 5, 2011For those not familiar with Create Digital Music I can’t recommend it enough. It’s pure madness. If you’ve got even a slight fetish for off the wall electronic music, analogue gear and custom-made bits of equipment then welcome to your new hangout. Most of the time I have no idea what’s going on but still find a form of schoolboy…
April 27, 2011Props to Paul of Kamikaze for continually putting me on to even more dope music I’d be sleeping on still if it weren’t for his dedication to sharing it. He’s outdone himself this time. I’m referring the new Peaking Lights album, which, simply put, is stunning. Titled 936 it’s been an unhealthily addictive addition to my record collection I’ve been…
April 23, 2011Thought I’d repost a article and some damn good advice on promos, passed on to the masses from DFRNT. Titled Dub Eitquette, it originally appeared in Modus Magazine Issue 1 and is essential reading for anyone planning on sending out tracks.
