February 20, 2013Probably the best lineup we’ve seen for a festival in a while, and it’s happening in Adelaide next month, with Unsound Festival bringing the Krakow originated string of events to Australia for the first time. Taking over a portion of the Adelaide Festival from March 14th to 16th, Unsound are giving us performances from OPN, Tim Hecker, Actress, Hype Williams,…
February 18, 2013Creation through deprivation (or I guess ‘limitation’ if you want to put a nicer spin on it) turns out unpredictable results. No point composing a 1-bit orchestra or delivering an hour of solo bass if it sounds repetitive and annoying. Really like what the Animal Language label have done with this new EP though, and while they may not have…
February 15, 2013Been sitting on this for a minute too long, but we almost broke the internet trying to upload it first time around, but wanted to get something special up for Awkward Movements Sessions #50. The don DJ of the group – Jimmy Monsta Funk – steps up massively with a 4 hour wax mix, recorded live on three turntables. There’s…
February 13, 2013Goldie, Dub Phizix, Rockwell & Friction – no way were we missing the chance to shoot this. Timmy K aka Phomandark was in effect, at the secret location of Factory 7, armed with camera on the night for the London Warehouse x Shogun Audio event which by all accounts not only delivered, but exceeded top expectations. Strangely enough, whenever he’s…
February 11, 2013Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze going live out of NTS Studio last Monday, loads of new goodness from a pretty wicked run of record releases. Full tracklist below accompanied with the stream and download options. Next show leaves the speakers a week from today, Monday the 18th of Feb, 2-4pm, get locked. Awkward Movements show for NTS, Monday 4th February 2013,…
February 9, 2013It seems every time I start getting bored of new house wax Andy Blake steps up with something stupidly heavy. Andy’s output as a producer is almost as consistently dope as what he does curating labels, the best known of which would be Dissident, the ultra-limited, wax only imprint that clocked up over sixty releases in it’s short lifespan of…
February 5, 2013Wanted to get something on this asap, before they all fly out, as Sculpture output is stupidly good. Add in some damn good designs on the platter and for once it’s a record that I don’t actually mind shelling out £12 for. Sculpture as a group represents the pairing of Dan Hayhurst and Reuben Sutherland who push the boundaries like…
February 4, 2013Officially dropping today on digi and physical CD comes a compilation we’re proud to have a small part in. Resonance.fm mainstay Rita Maia is releasing Sine Of The Times, aptly titled after the radio program, released on her own Badmood Recordings label. NKC is featured on the tracklist with ‘Fading Floor‘, taken off the AWK006 12″ which dropped last year.…
January 31, 2013For those that don’t know (and to be fair you really should), our man Raynulds hosts Sub.fm on a fortnightly basis, consistently serving up new bits on wax wherever possible, smashing it with forthcoming digital as an alternative. Either way, it’s essential listening, as Raynulds remains one of the most underrated talents for putting records together and pure vibes whether…
January 30, 2013Every few months I get OCD about certain music, rinsing one-off projects, new artists or albums for weeks on repeat. This is exactly how I’ve lived with the new Hacker Farm release, with it currently sound tracking public commutes and the work hours, somehow calming the murderous rage that lives within me during these times. Farmer Glitch, Kek-W and Bren…
