August 3, 2013F**king hell this is heavy. As the soundsystem title of Kahn & Neek, anything baring the Gorgon Sound name is something we need to pay attention to. For the third Peng Sound release the label has pulled out and pressed up four tracks straight from the Gorgon Sound dub box, creating a monster of an EP. Mastered via tape, cut…
July 30, 2013Way late on this, but this is the type of release we love; especially when the record in question is a history lesson and yet still sounds relevant. Don’t get me wrong, I never want to be that guy in the record store purely buying reissues once every few months, but as I learn more about electronic music the second…
July 29, 2013Quality radio as always from Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze, going live from the NTS headquarters in Dalston for Awkward Movements last week. Stream or download the full show below, complete with track list. The next Awkward Movements show will be going out in a week’s time, Monday 5th of August 2-4pm on NTS radio. Make sure you get locked. It…
July 24, 2013The chaps at Rewind Forward have been killing it since opening up their specialist online store a year or so ago. It was through the second No Corner release – the Kahn & Neek – Gorgon Grime cassette – that I started ordering cassettes and the odd t-shirt and wax off of them, never disappointed by the selection they’ve got in…
July 22, 2013Had this on heavy-rotation over the last week or so, and it’s still blowing my mind like the first time I listened to it. As if running Raster-Noton wasn’t keeping Frank Bretschneider busy enough (not to mention on our favourite list of people), but he’s gone and dropped some electronic wizardry in the form of the Super.Trigger full-length. Despite an extensive catalogue…
July 17, 2013Almost a year on since the release of The Call From Below LP on Digitalis and we’re still none the wiser to the faces behind the name Seekersinternational. Not that it particularly matters at the end of the day, but with such an incredible sound behind them it’d certainly be interesting to dig a bit deeper, if only to find…
July 15, 2013While you may not have heard the last Awkward Movements show go out on NTS due to some technical problems, it definitely happened and is now up for sharing. Stream or download last Monday’s show below, complete with track list. Highlights from the new Mark Fell which opens the two hours, Powell on Liberation Technologies, Keith Fullerton Whitman back on vinyl…
July 14, 2013Might be grossly overestimating the appeal here, but comic books have re-entered culture with full force through movies and I don’t think you even need to be a comic-book fan to appreciate this epic teaser. Spotted on an IGN last week, star DC Comics writer and Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns uploaded this video teaser for a forthcoming story arc…
July 10, 2013Now over twenty releases deep (counting remixes, a limited 7″ and a collection compilation), the Workshop label have a perfect track record for doing a quality plate. Offerings from Move D, Kassem Mosse and Madteo are some of the favourites in my collection, with the Berlin based label somehow coaxing out consistently deep sounds from already top-shelf producers. Something about releasing on…
July 9, 2013Always a pleasure to host some work from Phomandark, known to us as Timmy K; there’s a reason why he’s a favourite photographer. Not sure why we’ve not highlighted some of his photographic movements at breakdance events, but it’s not the first time he’s shot Floor Rippers. All black and white, this is a pretty stunning collection of photos. There’s…
