September 5, 2012Damn, Paul Ackroyd went all out on this one. Originally posting these while the London Olympics were on, the man sometimes known as Kamikaze pushed his record collection to the extreme, pulling out one track from every country competing. Pretty impressive to say the least, this is some dedicated digging with hefty results. In fact the more we look…
September 5, 2012Very cool concept here, aided by the 1.5 hours of audio example they’re giving away as part of this month’s download package. Acid Pattern Group is an ever growing collective that submit original compositions each month based on a user created pattern of a 303 template. See below for the guidelines they use for the group and the pattern they…
September 3, 2012Here’s something pretty special to start off the week. The Sheffield-based techno pioneers known as The Black Dog have gone ahead and thrown up a brilliant Berghain live set for download and stream. It’s done in collaboration with Electronic Supper Club, a new online spot that includes a Boiler Room-esque element that will feature an epic live show this week (more on…
September 2, 2012A pretty incredible clip for comic book heads, anime buffs or movie fanboys of any kind, one of the best spinoff shorts we’ve ever seen has dropped in a timely fashion in the vein of Batman. DC Nation holds a block of animation on Cartoon Network as of earlier this year, and in between the programming (thus far only Young…
August 29, 2012The art x skate deck / snow board crossover thing has been such an underrated element since almost the start of the boarding industries. There were never stock images being pushed on to the gear, and even bulk sticker designs lend to customisation purely by placement and quantity. It’s an integral but often overlooked part within a subculture that we…
August 27, 2012Paul Ackroyd back in rotation for Awkward Movements on NTS, doing it live out of the HQ in Dalston where the studio’s been refurbed and by all accounts things are looking tight. Taking it back to the roots, Paul pulled out a drum special, managing to include the new Powell, Anworth Kirk and the recently discovered but earlier released The…
August 22, 2012Big ups Michael Chandler each and every way. Teaming up with Wilderness Films, Michael Chandler (aka The Furious) was the new talent that dropped the incredible Stay Sailing on us in the backend of 2010. If you missed the pirate radio documentary during it’s limited-release capacity first time around, the good news is that the entire thing is now available…
August 20, 2012We were pretty excited when Stones Throw and Now-Again were the first of our favourites to roll out the subscription services. Though despite the low-cost and ease of getting new tracks, the combined convenience of Phonica also meant that I wasn’t using it a great deal; just checking out the releases quickly, buying what you play out on wax and…
August 15, 2012A few months back we were raving about a chance purchase of a CD that became an instant favourite; the super limited, self-titled release of PS Stamps Back & Olekranon. The collaboration was a released on Inam Records, a label we’ve since come to love as we continue to hunt through their 103 deep catalogue of releases. As it turns…
August 13, 2012Probably need to apologise ahead of listening for the vocal levels blending a bit too far in the background this time around. Lack of monitors combined with some pretty epic jet lag and the want to cram in as many records as possible meant the importance of my dulcet tones got pushed to the back. Having had the last two…
