May 24, 2015Archive here from the last Awkward Movements show on NTS, which originally broadcast the weekend before last. Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze on decks hosting a brilliant show as always. Kicking off with 2013 Dead Albatross winner Ela Orleans, the two hour session loaded in a tonne of favourites with new bits and a bit of archive too. Muslimgauze, Broadcast, Ras…
May 19, 2015Jesus…this is big. An outstanding cassette release from the somewhat mysterious Cerberus Future Technologies label, credited to Montauk Boys. Earlier press releases suggest we’re dealing with a Manchester operation, with the label being christened earlier this year with two mixed cassettes of originals from a few different names, Frequency Adjustments volumes 1 & 2. Whatever the story here there’s no disputing…
May 15, 2015In the short time since it’s inception last year, /Aught has fast become one of my favourite new labels. Consistently outstanding lo-fi house presented on sharp looking clear cassette in a poly bag, selling out way too fast for me to have the whole collection to date, Aught have a distinct sound they want to push out, and they do…
May 13, 2015Week before last’s Awkward Movements show on NTS here, originally broadcast 2nd of the month. Out to everyone who locked in and helped me battle illness with loads of good tunes, especially the synth collecting peanut gallery who as always made their presence known. Despite starting off with some Tony Allen and Bruce Ditmas we were soon descending in to…
May 11, 2015Stoked to have picked this up before they sold out, a very cool zine from the Creation camp. Nowadays Creation aka Creation Rebel are known equally for their t-shirt designs as much as the style and carefully curated aesthetic of their blog. It’s got to be one of the best looking sites out there, the lo-fi online equivalent of a dusty…
May 7, 2015Big collaboration here between the master of digidub Tapes and Wareika Hill Sounds, the Jamaican musicians who really impressed with the No More War 10″ on Honest Jon’s last year. Pulling down on some proper soul-touching dub vibes, we’ve got the spiritual A-side versioned with echoing drums one the flip, actually one of the best dubs we’ve heard of modern…
May 4, 2015Last weekend’s show was a blast, but before the archive appears for that we’re going well back with this one. Going out the middle of last month, archive here (with track list appearing soon) from Paul Ackroyd’s two-hour session of Awkward Movements on NTS. Loads of moody house and quality techno bits for on and off the floor, as we’ve…
May 2, 2015Still riding on the cassette tip, here’s a brilliant debut full length from Dublin based producer Baba aka Daragh Monaghan, coming to us from the Where To Now? camp. Pure class on this release, not just in the stunning design of the risographed sleeve that wraps the tape, but mostly in the delivery of the original ideas as a total…
April 29, 2015Been 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…
April 23, 2015It’s such a great feeling when a random punts on music pay off. Such is the case with 2 Late 4 Love, an incredibly dope cassette released late last year via Acid Waxa. The artist behind it is one Roy Of The Ravers, blessed with both an awesome artist name and an artist aesthetic made the release buy on site.…
