March 3, 2014Wicked session last week for Awkward Movements on NTS Radio, too much good stuff to get through everything in one go. Nochexxx, D/P/I, Blue Daisy, Leyland Kirby (aka James Kirby) and Sun Araw among those making an appearance with new tracks alongside a cut each from the new Bass Clef plates dropping this month. We also went to a cassette…
March 2, 2014Brand new joints from Ralph Cumbers aka Bass Clef coming out on Public Information, some of the best new music we’ve heard lately, kicking off a series of wax pressings on various labels for the man. With a self-described ‘Ekoplekz styled release schedule’ for the year, this drop is actually one of two new releases this month, the second-coming on…
February 27, 2014Not even sure where to start talking Lucas Abela, madman artist of all kinds, over two decades playing music. Best known to many as an experimental noisemaker under the name Justice Yeldham, destroying his face with sheets of microphoned glass, it’s actually his installation work that’s grabbed us as of late. A very healthy obsession with mutating pinball machines means…
February 25, 2014Spooky industrial vibes come totally good; I love records like this. This was dropped sometime last year, not sure what prompted me to pick it up now, but it hasn’t left the area next to the decks for the few weeks since it arrived. Great Circles label boss Justin Gibbon is here releasing under the name Westov Temple, keeping in…
February 23, 2014In between the epic amounts of radio being broadcast for the Winter Olympics, Paul found time to step in to our usual NTS Radio slot or a few hours. No vocals here, but a decent mix of noisy ambient pieces, hope you dig. Get in touch for download, otherwise you can stream below with the full track list. We’re next…
February 18, 2014In honour of the 2012 London Olympics, Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze gave us music from all 205 competing countries, split across five two-hours shows. Always one to up the ante, he’s gone a step further for Sochi 2014, now serving up four shows a week as the winter olympic games tick over, and selecting music from all eighty-eight competing countries…
February 17, 2014One of the crew was sharing some details and videos about Mad Cobra recently, part of our ever-growing reggae education. Evidently there was a time in the ’90s where Mad Cobra was king, and having dug through his discography over the last few days, it’s definitely the live performance area where he stands out. Coming up through the mighty Killamanjaro…
February 16, 2014Broadcast last week via the Hessle Audio show on Rinse.fm, two of our favourite artists were featured with guest mixes in the same two-hours radio. Out to Ben UFO for hosting, and the cats at the station, holding it down proper as always. Really enjoyed this. Dropping next month courtesy of Planet Mu, comes the latest release from the one…
February 13, 2014Just want to take a second to highlight this brilliant piece of journalism from Richie Siegel, founder of online mag Seersucker and overall artistic don. The 5 Pointz complex was considered the graffiti mecca of the world. Located in Queens, it’s name represented the five boroughs of New York coming together over art. Curated by Meres One aka Jonathan Cohen since 2002,…
February 11, 2014Last year’s Festival Of Dangerous Ideas was keynoted by David Simon, creator ofThe Wire. Arguably the most disappointing offering of the event, the focus should have really been put on the closing speech of the Sunday, given by the national treasure that is John Safran. Safran was there to talk about his experience writing Murder In Mississippi, published by Penguin, and…
