February 9, 2014Archive from the last of January’s NTS shows now up, stream below with full track list underneath or get in touch for the download. Apologies for the delay in getting this up, big ups to all who chased us for it. Pulled out some of pretty exciting new business from Death Comet Crew reworked by Jamal Moss, Vereker, Helm on…
February 6, 2014Not news by any stretch of the imagination, but in the ongoing absence of a bootleg copy on wax I thought we’d shed a bit more light on this wicked drop from The Avalanches. Effectively known as ‘Stalking To A Stranger‘ it is in fact officially Hunters & Collectors – ‘Talking To A Stranger given a ‘Planets Collide’ remix, done…
February 4, 2014Coming in an addition of 50 only, our friends over at the FullFridge Music label have just dropped their first foray in to the cassette tape format, with a quality release. Based in the French Alps, the FullFridge crew have been on our radar for a while now, regularly dropping releases from an ever impressive roster and some crazy good…
February 2, 2014So here’s a surprising fact I just confirmed on Discogs; dropping officially this week, Thrusters is actually the debut LP from Nochexxx aka Dave Henson. In fact, prior to this there’s only three official 12″ releases and a handful of cassettes, them themselves released mostly through his CHXFX alias. The Cambridge associated producer had a history of label curation (check Tripel…
January 30, 2014Thought we’d group these plates together as they’ve brought about a similar reaction to me despite their vast differences in sound. Not sure why we’d expect anything less, but both Actress and Shackleton have offered up subtle changes in direction with their recent records, bringing me back to utter awe over the skill they put on display through their own…
January 28, 2014Got well excited listening to this today; as far as big sessions go this has got to be up there for recent shows that have come our way. Right on time, Raynulds bombed up the archive from his recent b2b2b2b2b session on Sub.fm that took us right back. Joined by a stellar lineup crew who stepped up to feature on his last…
January 27, 2014Been a while since we’ve been hyped over an amen-break based full length, and then comes this Lee Bannon on Ninja Tune, which has got us hooked like crack. Best known to date as a hip-hop producer, delivering beats to rappers such as Joey Bada$$, Bannon has stepped up a notch to produce this solo outing, more than a stones…
January 23, 2014I’m a big fan of the CDR concept and all their associated activities. Founded by the one Tony Nwachukwu (of Attica Blues fame as well as just been a really interesting guy) and mate Gavin Alexander back in 2002, CDR continues to exponentially grow, spreading nothing but good vibes and quality nights for heads to come together at. For those…
January 21, 2014Archive from last week’s Awkward Movements show on NTS to stream below, coming from Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze on our new Wednesday night slot. As is the way, get in touch if you’d like a download version for moving about. Really nice vibes the whole way through, going from pretty electronic, to chill, to left field techno before tying in a…
January 19, 2014Back in December Diagonal Recordings released a wicked 2LP debut from Death Comet Crew, though it was only about a week ago I finally got my hands on it. Been meaning to write about Ghost Among The Crew ever since, but in it’s wake we’ve been swallowed up by a few other releases from the NYC originated group, most recently this…
