August 10, 2012Not just for the design heads or computer art junkies, Juxtapoz mag has remained a proper crossover for the crowd that profess to only read Wire or other similar offerings that make some of us feel smarter than the rest of you. 140 issues deep is nothing to take lightly, and every occasion I’ve picked up for myself or at someone’s…
August 8, 2012Playing a bit of catch-up here, going back to the the 23rd of last month, with Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze holding it down on for Awkward Movements on NTS. As always flipping up a tonne of styles in to a pretty tidy 2 hours of music blasting out of the Dalston station. Download or stream right at the bottom, big…
August 6, 2012Stunning 12″ this, wish I’d been able to get it sooner as it’s pretty special in my opinion. Then again we’ve always been massive fans of squelchy stomped on electronics blended in to raw house music. Surprising then that we seem to be playing catch up in checking out the artist that is Gobby, who’s got it spot on. Not…
August 5, 2012I think the best thing about My Wife Makes Dioramas is that for about a month no one actually knew who the real artist was, now announced as one Abby Goldman. It was in fact her husband, best known by his Reddit handle CapJax, who shot her work to fame, as it was he who posted the murder oriented, and…
July 28, 2012Somewhat late on these as always, but we’ve been playing the last plates every chance we get. The Ron Morelli run Long Island Electrical Systems (L.I.E.S.) has been on the must-check list since it’s inception, but with the last three releases especially it can’t put a foot wrong, with all three plates being must-grab, wax only, you’ve got to get…
July 23, 2012Can’t remember who said it, but there’s a lot of truth in the comment “radio shows have become the new music blog.” Hopefully ‘curated listening parties’ don’t become the new radio show. It’s got to be a good thing that we’re currently spoiled for choice as of late, and all the more reason to single out the ones we’re digging…
July 20, 2012To inaugurate the launch of the label website – http://www.dontbeafraidrecordings.co.uk – Don’t Be Afraid are giving away tracks from their impressive roster of electronic dons. It was just over 12 months ago that the DBA took everything next level, kicking off a relentlessly stunning run of plates, starting with the release of the West Acyd Shelter 12″ from label boss…
July 18, 2012We’ve always been partial to longer tracks that don’t get a lot of radio play due to their length, and in the spirit of longcore Paul managed to bust through 13 tracks of dope electronic goodness across the two hour NTS show. Proper stunning offering this one. The next show will be going out Monday 23rd, get locked. All dance/electronic/experimental…
July 16, 2012Out to Charity Queen for the pick on this – for those London based this could be an absolute goldmine. As we’ve spoken about before BBC World Services is exiting the beautiful Bush House location, and as a result are selling pretty much everything used to run an operation on that scale. From masses of microphones and unused / unopened…
July 11, 2012Maybe a touch late on this one, but one of the best we’ve thrown up all the same. Starting the week of 25/6, and for the month of July, Kamikaze is holding it down solo for Awkward Movements on NTS. The latest one went live only a few days ago, so after you’re done with this check back for more.…
