June 30, 2015Still 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…
June 26, 2015Been going deep in to this all week, a thirty-one track compilation from Ben Zimmerman collecting his recordings from ’92 to 2002, composed – painstakingly one can imagine – on a Tandy DeskMate computer. I’m new to the work of Zimmerman, though digging through his bandcamp page I can’t imagine why. A few EPS are present but mostly it’s individual…
June 19, 2015For those that missed it the first time around, here’s a trip back to last week’s airwaves for Awkward Movements on NTS. Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze on decks across the two hours, ’nuff goodness as always. Floorplan and Container kick it off with proper techno before he goes proper deep in the bag with the likes of Shriekback, The Durian…
June 17, 2015It’s no secret that much of the modern world angers me. Especially post-kids; I look at the crappy commercialisation of everything I once loved and wonder about the environment they’ll grow up in. I often find myself wandering around the internet looking at the constant streams of shit that advertising campaigns ram down our throat, dying a little inside as…
June 15, 2015Despite the record store acclaim it received I can’t help but feel like this one really went under the radar for a lot of cats. Inspired by a collection of 78’s, Roll The Dice member (and Swede) Peder Mannerfelt has replayed his own of versions 1930’s Congolese field-recordings, presenting the results in an incredible full length CD. As far as…
June 12, 2015New LP of Moritz von Oswald Trio branded jazz just dropped, which is good news for all us chinstrokers who smoked too much in high-school and always fancied themselves getting in to red wine one day. And as sarcastic as that sounds, we are actually genuinely stoked to be playing this. Moritz von Oswald needs little introduction. Underneath his guidance,…
June 9, 2015Last week’s (or was it the week before?) Awkward Movements show on NTS here, closing off a month of quality reissues, new bits and wicked cassettes. Kicked things off with the latest Kassem Mosse alias Paid Reach and it’s weird minimal electro grind, and the ever-impressive Jahiliyya Fields who continues to prove he can do no wrong, especially on the…
June 7, 2015Been holding on to this one for way too long, about time I got it up for sharing. Live set here, field recorded on dodgy equipment last year during the Snugg residency held down by In The Heat Of The Night. I love a field-recorded set, something raw that captures the vibe vibe of a night or party. It was…
June 6, 2015Stoked to be welcoming back experimental hip-hop to our ears, with an amazing record that we’ve been visiting and revisiting for the last week, Days With Dr. Yen Lo. Dr. Yen Lo is now not only the psychopathic hypnotist from The Manchurian Candidate but also the collaborative name of Brooklyn rapper Ka and New York native producer Preservation, who’ve just dropped…
June 1, 2015Been 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…
