April 17, 2013Came across this video the other day and needed to share it; KiNK live in session for Bulgarian online station Radio Binar. KiNK aka Strahil Velchev brought a collection of his synths, effects units, sequencing tools and beat machines – mostly MFB in fact, full gear list below – in to the studio, setting up a temporary performance space for…
April 15, 2013For the London based among you make sure you get down to this next week, headlined by the incredible Nad Spiro, stage name of experimental composer and performer Rosa Arruti out of Barcelona. Rosa’s joined by some proper talent in the form of two-piece Static Memories, Cloudier Skies and raga-drone-psyche specialists Raagnagrok. We’ve been big fans of the Nad Spiro…
April 11, 2013Bit of a take-2 here from Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze on the last Awkward Movements show for NTS. The mic had inexplicably left the studio, and as a result last week’s live show was a purely musical affair. With an edit earlier this week he’s since re-uploaded as it was meant to be heard, full vocals and all. Properly dope…
April 9, 2013Great album here from The Sign Of Four, a new recording project from underrated composer and multi-instrumentalist and more importantly sound engineer Miles Newman. Miles is best known as one-half of The Natural Yogurt Band (NYB), who came to the forefront with Away With Melancholy in 2008, and Tuck In With… in 2011, both on Jazzman Records and both released as 2×10″…
April 5, 2013Stoked to finally track down this documentary, first clocked on Kickstarter a few years back; the brilliant story about a unique and oft-forgotten hero John Fahey. The crew behind In Search Of Blind Joe Death: The Saga Of John Fahey have done an amazing job in telling a full story, keeping the larger impact of his work as an element…
April 4, 2013As expected, Electric Minds / Broken & Uneven smashed it again, going large by all accounts for the Ostgut Ton x 50 Weapons party that happened across the weekend. Big ups everyone involved putting it on. Got to agree with the following email from the man in the pits on the night: …not much to say apart from these guys…
April 1, 2013Playing a bit of catch-up here, finally getting the March archive together just as the first of the April offering is about to go out live. Two shows here both from March, with Paul Ackroyd holding down 4/3 (scroll straight to the bottom for that) and Keith P in session for two hours 18/3. Paul’s going live from NTS studios…
March 31, 2013You got to love the way Nochexxx works. By the time everyone picked up on his beats releases he’d moved left of house and funky. When the heads caught up with him there (as a mexican skeleton bandit it should be noted) he’d already moved on to torturing his production gear in to unheard sounds and coming up with the…
March 25, 2013We were incredibly fortunate to catch the double-set Tuba Skinny live show across the weekend, the final night of a few months touring the country before they head back home to New Orleans. Undoubtedly one of the best shows I’ve ever seen, The Standard played host to an event more reminiscent of a giant open air street party, nothing but…
March 22, 2013As always, a lot of respect from the chinstroke massive on who:ratio styles. Since his move back to Timisoara, who:ratio aka Claude Caprar has been constantly in touch, evolving to continue exploring new music sources that were previously foreign to a vinyl junkie, and as a result new musical appreciation. After decades of collecting wax and playing many styles across…
