April 10, 2016Here’s an artist to get obsessed over if you’re not already familiar. Dan Melchior has been peddling his unique form of lo-fi garage rock, blues and folk experiments for the last thirty years, primarily as a solo artist but never far from a band or collaboration release. And reflective of his solo work over the years, once you discover Melchior’s…
April 8, 2016This doco has been doing the rounds for a while now – up on youtube, back down, then back up again – without ever drawing too much attention. We just finished watching for the third or fourth time so thought it was about time we shared it around. Rasta and The Ball is a documentary that was first broadcast in 1980,…

April 4, 2016There’s an essential library of well-known books that you’ll find more often than not in a sound man’s house. All Crews by Brian Belle-Fortune, Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop by Jeff Chang and Bass Culture by Lloyd Bradley on the narrative tip, then Behind The Beat by Raph, Dust & Grooves from Eilon Paz and Joe Mansfield’s Beat Box for record collection and gear porn. You’re…
March 30, 2016Been getting to know the Canberra based Moontown Records of late – recently through the one off Luxury Look Zine of works from artists connected to the label, and before this with a self-titled cassette from The First Baboon Civilization. The label mostly does tapes and wax, with “a focus on great and weird Australian music”, racking up an impressive…
March 22, 2016It’s probably worth saying straight off the bat that I’ve never been happier with an image selection to go with one of our recordings. Flying bears shooting laser beams really outshone any radio we might’ve done recently. However, the image needs something to go with, so you can grab a rewind of the weekend’s Awkward Movements show on NTS below…
March 8, 2016Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze in for Awkward Movements on NTS across the weekend. Full stream and track list below or get in touch for the download.

February 24, 2016Archive here for the weekend’s Awkward Movements show on NTS, with full track list underneath the stream, as always get in touch for the download. Kicked off with Healing Force Project on Firecracker Recordings, which we’ve been meaning to play for a while, as well as Tarquin Manek which is just all sorts of madness. Got in a couple of tracks…
February 9, 2016Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze was in session for Awkward Movements on NTS this weekend for a cracking two hours of radio. Loads of new joints and unheard bits including a start in some form of hybrid disco territory, that paved the way for some Teklife footwork from Taso as well as show favourites Muslimgauze and Eric Copeland (pictured above back…
January 30, 2016Late last year Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau announced the most diverse Cabinet in the history of the country, as well as the Commonwealth (of which Canada remains a part of) and quite possibly the world. Trudeau delivered on his pre-election promise to build a ‘Canadian government for 2015’, with an equal amount of men and women represented as well…
