December 11, 2012Proper surprised there are still some of these kicking around. I suspect Christmas brokeness has either set in early or that 300 runs of wax are going a lot further than they used to. Either way, some stunning techno on offer here from a new guise of M. Geddes Gengras, stepping in with the mix of other electronic and live…
December 10, 2012Damn, seem to be doing way too many post-humous shout-outs lately. I guess the plus side of this is that with the technology and sharing available now we can do our best to ensure their lifetimes of work aren’t forgotten and are continued to be recognised. Kieron aka Charity Queen offered up the below words highlighting three releases from Jonathan…
December 5, 2012Coming up to it’s fourth year and sixth release since inception, We Can Elude Control already sits as a favourite label for us. The man in charge of their release schedule and ever good-looking records is Paul Purgas, one half of Emptyset, who’s last EP came to us via Raster-Noton, and is absolutely stunning. If there’s still some available pick…
December 3, 2012While it seems the curse of the long-track is back, last Monday’s Awkward Movements show was dope fun, big ups all who locked. Loads of catch-up to play as well as two highlights from Pan who continue to smash it with recent plates from Lee Gamble and NHK’koyxen. Been wanting to drop the Terre Thaemlitz and Fennesz new bits for…
December 2, 2012The Raimo run Lampuka Records smashed it earlier this year, with the Basic Famous boss inaugurating the release schedule with Tomas Rubeck on LAMPUKA001. Good news then that the next 12″ is rolling out to stores this week, hand-stamped limited wax styles as always, with digital coming in a little time after. The four-track EP comes courtesy of Pistol Pete,…
November 28, 2012Just a quick video post this one, more info on the record closer to the release date, but with the constant fascination and love of archive soundtracked by house we wanted to share this around asap. Phonica-fam Brian Not Brian and a chap named Salik are launching their new label – Going Good Records – with a release from Atlanta…
November 26, 2012After being embarrassingly late on picking up on Unit Moebius, we’re making up for lost time through addiction to their output. The Dutch collective are not only credited as the godfather’s of Hague’s industrial scene but are also described as “Europe’s only true answer to Underground Resistance” – a heavy likening to carry but definitely an apt one. Having been…
November 23, 2012Too easy this. One email and you may get on the door for another heavy Broken & Uneven lineup. It’s happening this Saturday (ie tomorrow) at iCan Studios, with two of our favourite labels taking over a room each for Nonplus x Workshop. Kassem Mosse as well as Skudge playing live is worth price of entry alone, though not taking…
November 21, 2012What was originally going to be a ‘Dead & Alive‘ show turned in to two hours of quality musicians who’ve passed away with incredible legacies. Right after recording this Paul Ackroyd jumped on his bike and is peddling around various parts of the country, no doubt picking up tracks and recordings along the way. Next Awkward Movements show on NTS…
November 19, 2012Just finding out more about the American artist named Josh Keyes, who’s themes we’re constantly stoked with. His post-apocalyptic animal-survivalist concepts are done without the barren wastelands of dark, bloodied, zombie brain splatters we come to expect whenever that word comes in to play. Instead Keyes deals in re-imagined worlds that we’re big fans of, colored in with decently cheerful…
