February 28, 2013An amazing documentary that I recommend everyone watch. Not your typical (if there is one) offering on refugees or ‘boat people’, this film is going to cause discussion and hopefully a mindset change. Consisting of secretly shot and smuggled footage in countries where the film-makers are no longer welcome, Between The Devil & The Deep Blue Sea looks not only…
February 20, 2013Probably the best lineup we’ve seen for a festival in a while, and it’s happening in Adelaide next month, with Unsound Festival bringing the Krakow originated string of events to Australia for the first time. Taking over a portion of the Adelaide Festival from March 14th to 16th, Unsound are giving us performances from OPN, Tim Hecker, Actress, Hype Williams,…
January 30, 2013Every few months I get OCD about certain music, rinsing one-off projects, new artists or albums for weeks on repeat. This is exactly how I’ve lived with the new Hacker Farm release, with it currently sound tracking public commutes and the work hours, somehow calming the murderous rage that lives within me during these times. Farmer Glitch, Kek-W and Bren…
January 1, 2013In the order they were sent to me, here’s the Awkward Movements family’s breakdown of 2012. Big ups both L.I.E.S. and Pan, a lot of double up in the lists coming from two of our favourite labels who had an incredible roster of releases over the last 12 months. RAYNULDS Tunes Of The Year In No Order: Joy Orbison…
December 28, 2012An incredible operation we should all get behind here, particularly as this is one of many free sources for footage that are increasingly becoming in demand as people edit together their own clips. Can’t understate the importance of what Media Burn is and does. As the corporates swallow up smaller libraries, destroying the source footage and making a lot of…
December 10, 2012Damn, seem to be doing way too many post-humous shout-outs lately. I guess the plus side of this is that with the technology and sharing available now we can do our best to ensure their lifetimes of work aren’t forgotten and are continued to be recognised. Kieron aka Charity Queen offered up the below words highlighting three releases from Jonathan…
November 14, 2012Saddened to hear about the recent passing of Duke Vin, a legendary selector and hero to those who have tribute to pay for the UK sound system culture. After apprenticing under Tom The Great Sebastian, Duke Vin relocated from Jamaica to London, establishing his own sound system – The Tickler – as the first in the UK. Duke Vin’s passing…
October 30, 2012Always timely and on point Jimmy Monsta Funk steps in with a playlist for friends and fam stateside to sit out the storm. Not sure how Storm Queen got left out but the Incognito joint more than makes up for it, listen in order if you can. No gimmick here, just an opportunity for a proper electronic journey in these…
October 17, 2012We’ve been fan boy obsessed with the output of Ghedalia Tazartes since Paul Ackroyd introduced him into the NTS show a year or so back. The further you dig the more rewarding the experience of Tazartes is, as the sound-artist / loop master’s work sounds like no one else and he rarely repeats himself. As the story goes, in 1974…
October 6, 2012Chances are you’ve already seen the new Danny Brown video that Toyota branded with their Scion AV tag a few months ago. Incredibly dope track, and the video just makes it even better, which in turn is made by the casting of Dante Hoagland as the younger version of the rapper. This was originally going to be a list of…
