January 26, 2016Only the second show back in session for the year for Awkward Movements on NTS, still playing a bit of catch up with the copious amounts of dope records released in the back part of last year. Seekersinternational and Tremble held it down for dubwise plates early on, with cassettes from Nerftoss on Patient Sounds, and Adam Oko on Astro:Dynamics also…
January 12, 2016First show of the year, and for a month almost, went out on the weekend. Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze on decks selecting for the Awkward Movements on NTS on the weekend, and it was absolutely cracking. Full track list below featuring a few slabs of heavy techno from the likes of Broken English Club, Deepchord and Shapednoise, footwork from DJ…
January 10, 2016More lists and a chance to shout out all the goodness that buzzed us. Nice to reconnect with London crew this year, if only for one night. The biggest change is buying habits again. If the previous two years represented cassettes as a novelty, 2015’s when it became essential to own a walkman to do the show we wanted. It…
January 8, 2016We’re pretty late on these but they’ll be trickling through the nest few days. Cracking year for Jimmy Monsta Funk, who, as well as unearthing a field recorded mix from his residency at Snugg, delivered six hours worth of live wax from 2014, which you can check out here. Here’s his lists of 2015. 5 Documentaries Of 2015 ‘A Syrian…
January 5, 2016While we’re on the live tip we need to shout out this LP from Housewives. Coming to us as some sort of three way label split between Blank Editions, Hands In The Dark and Negative Days, Work is their first full length since the debuted with a self-titled cassette back in 2013. With makeshift instruments and a lo-fi recording style…
January 4, 2016Some stuff’s just meant to be heard live. Though in the case of Laddio Bolocko, who disbanded in 2000 after just four years together, the next best thing is this triple LP release of live recordings, packaged with a DVD (though I’m still wondering sincerely who actually has time to watch bonus music DVDs nowadays). Consisting of bass, guitar, saxophone…
January 3, 2016Seekersinternational aka SKRSINTL (also Seekers International and SKRS) can do no wrong in my book. I was pretty stoked to have completed the physical collection (tapes and wax) after tracking down a copy of the Yardflex 7″ earlier this year. In fact it was Craig Morton aka Monkeytek of PDXINDUB fame who was kind enough to sell me his copy; another label who…
December 29, 2015Taking a proper break from everything till we’re back on air first week of January, but with the passing of Stevie Wright I’d be remiss to not get something up about this incredible documentary produced for the ABC earlier this year. And I can honestly say that in a year of ramped up production and independents telling amazing unheard stories, Blood…
December 21, 2015Earlier this year saw the long awaited release of Stretch and Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives, the feature length documentary on what many consider to be the most important radio show ever. If you’re in to hip-hop you likely know what we’re talking about, but if the name’s Bobbito Garcia and Stretch Armstrong are new to you it’s worth checking…
December 19, 2015Weekend listening for those that missed it first time around, Awkward Movements on NTS from last week featuring loads of good records and too loud vocals (apologies for that, couldn’t hear myself). I’ve been getting stuck in to the Versatile Records catalogue of late off the back of I:Cube’s new record – which is crazy good – and also featured…
