January 28, 2013Due to some technical stuff-ups on our end, last Monday’s broadcast came from the archives of 2012, Paul’s Armistice Day Special got a repeat, proper fire at that. But that’s not to say the original show wasn’t recorded, now up on archive for download and stream. What it was meant to sound like was Secret Circuit, Bass Clef, Tuff Sherm…
January 24, 2013One for the London heads; happening the first of next month two of our favourite associates and kings of the scene are taking over for a heavyweight lineup at Corsica Studios. Clone Records led by Serge and Semtek’s Don’t Be Afraid fam are the chosen affiliates to launch a new night at Corsica which they’re calling ‘Tender Hooks’, guesting a…
January 22, 2013Debated whether or not to share this, but think the positives and the message outweigh the possibility of crossing a line in to bootleg thieving territory. As a local said about downloading music – “if we could afford to buy the vinyl, or even if the download prices were in proportion to the country, than we definitely would. But we…
January 20, 2013Picked this up a while ago off the back of his release on Tim Sweeney’s Beats In Space Records plate – which we rinsed out on radio, club and personal tips – but only just rediscovered it and finally given it a proper listen. Secret Circuit has absolutely smashed it with this LP, twelve cuts of scattered complex house with…
January 16, 2013Reason to celebrate with a new full length from The Heliocentrics en route. Malcolm Catto has been a constant point of fascination for me, a famed introvert with amazing record knowledge and the most unique and talent drummer ever recorded in my opinion. His self-timing is just incredible; some form of laid back off-kilter beat whacked out with full intent,…
January 14, 2013As stated in the notes below, it’s all about the last Broadcast recordings right now, showcased by Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze in this last installment of a show for NTS. Incidentally, if anyone needs an introduction to the stunning works of Trish Keenan, Paul also put together two radio shows shortly after her passing: https://awkmo.co/kamikaze-djs-trish-keenan-tribute-mix/ Next show goes out a…
January 12, 2013Proper heavyweight lineup for London Warehouse Events x Shogun Audio in a few weeks, secret Shoreditch venue still to be announced. As a follow-up to last year’s rave at Great Suffolk Street, Friction’s on curation duties once more as well as headlining with a three-hour set. This time around it’s just the one-room, a more intimate warehouse space with drum…
January 9, 2013Jeff Mills started off as a ‘Wizard’ in Detroit; following many nights of him DJing around the world he is the man who could be ‘King’. The first explosion of his deck skills on the world was his seminal mix CD Live at the Liquid Rooms, but unless you’d seen him DJ in the flesh, it was difficult to describe…
January 7, 2013Mad late on getting this one up, apologies for that, but the positive news is that we now know how to hack around ‘private tracks’ in Soundcloud. This show went out Christmas Eve, and even though the thought of phoning in a ‘best of 2012’ with so much dope music still coming out was quite unappealing, we did end up…
January 6, 2013Seeing The Gaslamp Killer aka GLK aka Will Benussen back in Australia, headlining over DMZ, Rustie, Theo Parrish and a load of music’s finest brought back memories of this interview / podcast from 2008. A few radio stations and online areas rinsed this for a short while, mainly excerpts, but the full edit only appeared briefly, and was taken down…
