Various Artists (Raz Mesinai) – ‘How To Kill A Boombox (Underground Cassette Productions 1989-92)’ LP [Silo Rumor]

Raw machine music is like crack to me. Something about off kilter beats on programmed kit sounds under-produced and recorded on to something shitty makes me really dig some records. The more beats and the fewer synths the better. Released on Silo Rumor and credited as a compilation of various producers, How To Kill A Boombox (Underground Cassette Productions 1989-92) is…

Ai Weiwei: Without Fear Or Favour (BBC 2010)

Is Ai Weiwei ever not on? With his level of exposure and following across the internet it’s hard to imagine a cooling off time where his presence isn’t constantly felt in the background. But between requests for Lego and the hype in London over his new show spanning the last two decades, at the moment he seems particularly important. This…

‘Turbo Kid’ (2015) Might Be The Greatest Movie Ever Made

This might just be my favourite scripted film ever. It’s definitely cracked the top 5, sitting alongside Hackers, Tron, Scott Pilgrim vs The World and the original Star Wars trilogy (this counts as one), which should tell you what sort of ride you’re in for with Turbokid. Set in an apocalyptic future, and shot like eighties classic, you have to…

Flyin’ Cut Sleeves (1993) – Dir. Henry Chalfant w/ Rita Fecher

In 1969 Rita Fecher got her first teaching job; in a school in the South Bronx at a time when the city’s longstanding crime reputation was being written. As documented well in Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop – or any hip-hop writings to be fair – this oft-talked about time in New York’s history is when the impoverished areas was likened by…

‘Diggin’ In The Carts’ Series – RBMA (2014)

Meant to share this when the series first concluded, but totally spaced on it until earlier this week, and thought I’d get it up now for anyone that missed it as it happen. Diggin’ In The Carts is the brilliant documentary series about Japanese video game music from 8-bit to 32, covering roughly the period of Japan’s music output up until…

‘I’m Tryna Tell You’ Footwork Documentary from Tim & Barry (2014)

Still heavily stuck in this footwork vibe, and with RP Boo dropping one of the genres finest LPs to date this week – Fingers, Bank Pads and Shoe Prints on Planet Mu – it seemed like a good time to revisit this. In 2012 famed underground photo and video kings Tim & Barry traveled to Chicago and created the authorative documentary…

The Hacker Wars (2014) – Dir. Vivien Lesnik Weisman

Been debating whether or not I should be weighing in on this, especially since the instigator in this case is the normally on-point Vice. If Snowden, the NSA and Anonymous remain on the outer fringes of your consciousness, then The Hacker Wars, in my opinion, is one of the most important films you can watch. And the reason for that…

radiokoala – ‘Whoop-De-Do’ Cassette [2:00AM Tapes]

Been a while between posts, still need to get last week’s show up in fact, so these next few are likely to come fast and lean. Couldn’t put off shouting about this one any longer though, a brilliant cassette release from the one radiokoala. It was about a year ago when we first came across Analog Explorations, the self-released debut…
