November 24, 2011Earlier in the year we headed down to the incredible space that is The Crypt Gallery for the launch of an exhibition that saw Tess Farmer an Amon Tobin unveiling the aesthetic for his then forthcoming Isam album. It was pretty stunning, and you can check the report on that here, though it’s a shame we didn’t get any images…
November 23, 2011As seems to be the trend at the moment we’re coming in way too late on this, having only clocked on to this incredible exhibition after Ekoplekz tweeted the above picture last week. Analog Love was a photo exhibit put together by Alex Digard aka Tape-Echo, documenting the Bristol underground scene. If you’re in the boat with us who missed…
November 22, 2011Just gone up with the new RA chart is a long overdue shout to the debut Container LP, released on Spectrum Spools earlier this year, released and in stores two months after it was recorded. Despite Kamikaze rinsing it on back-to-back shows I was in the majority of people that slept on this way too long, snagging the last copy…
November 20, 2011Probably the most accessible thing Kamikaze has ever delivered for Awkward Movements Sessions, in what he’s calling his ‘pop sessions’ – though the quality hasn’t dropped one bit. A beautiful selection across two hours of some classics and some yet unknowns, and of course a bit of Sandwell District. Incidentally there’s a genius piece of writing on Sandwell District in…
November 19, 2011Boom! It’s been too long since Shook Mag brought us something heavy to get together at, but well worth the wait. Come next Wednesday (30th) they’re collaborating with our friends at Strut Records to bring an exclusive London screening of one of the greatest Latin music documentaries ever made. Full details below, don’t miss it. via Shook.fm Wednesday 30th November…
November 17, 2011Recently got a bit of a rinsing for championing this DVD, but having watched it again this morning it needs to be properly shouted. Visually there is only so much headbanging and synth tweaking from the legends that the standard fan can watch, but the fact is that the Octave One tracks are so incredibly heavy that it’s…
November 16, 2011Happening this Friday at The Garage in London a pretty heavy lineup is going to help launch a new night for clothing brand Fred Perry of all places, and their new branch Fred Perry Subculture. Dubbed Sub-Sonic Live the clothing brand has borrowed some credibility from Phonica Records, who’ve gotten involved and sprouted an epic cast of DJs and producers…
November 14, 2011I know it’s the second time in about as many months that we’ve shouted at Ninja Tune and the one Kid Koala, but his shows just keep getting better and better. There’s a full run down on the Space Cadet book from the first launch we caught in September, which you can catch up on here. Friday night’s Space Cadet…
November 11, 2011For those that just know Dem Hunger as the guy who changes his name and who posts on twitter in capitals, it’s time to get educated about his music. His releases as Dem Hunger and Wanda Group were the type of underground goodness purchased by all on recommendation, fast making him a “producer’s producer” to stay on top of. Come…
November 10, 2011Something really special for Charity Queen’s debut sessions with Awkward Movements. The long time Kamikaze associate has outdone himself compiling a chronological mix of the history of electronic music. Not only has he delivered the mix starting in 1954 and ending in 2003, but a reading guide of about 1500 words breaking it down track by track as a nice…
