November 8, 2011Shouts to Timmy K for putting me on to this track and the three-piece that is Battlesnake – first time I’ve heard from them and hanging out for more. Although the term ‘free-rock’ seems like a tag to music I’d generally avoid, there’s possibly some Moritz von Oswald trio vibes happening here (and perhaps for geographical reasons reminded me of…
November 7, 2011As well as residents Liam D & Chris CTOP, this Friday sees a host of our favourite London DJs spinning tracks for the return of SpaceBass. Semtek of Don’t Be Afraid and Lostbahnhof fame, Mr Beatnick (of pre-2000 gaming fame) and Ben Morris (but not this Ben Morris) who’s been making a welcome return to playing out as of…
November 5, 2011It’s been a quality year for NKC, having debuted on the scene with two acclaimed 12″ releases and built up a name for himself with props and drops from the leaders in the bass scene. Look for the live sets and shows unleashing around London before the end of the year. For those that missed it, there’s a 40 minute…

A bunch of records I’ve been playing…
October 25, 2011Having been out of the country for the debut EkoClef gig last week, well happy that Ekoplekz is back in London, playing a solo show this Thursday in Shoreditch for the third Mind Flowers night, hosted at Catch 22. Checking out the lineup I was also introduced to the music and work of Sculpture, who I definitely need more of…
October 24, 2011The man behind the look and style of Science & Romance is the one Rob McDougall, who just keeps topping our expectations with his work. Kato came to me with a concept for an album cover. He showed me lots of photographs he’d found as inspiration for the look and feel he was after. One in particular stood out, which was…
October 24, 2011Beating my head against the wall and falling into a deep depression about not seeing this sooner. Before there were game FAQS or walk-throughs available online, I once spent seven years on Zelda: A Link To The Past before I finished it (though whether or not you can ever really ‘finish’ Zelda is an entirely separate – and slightly spiritual…
October 23, 2011Courtesy of Timmy K, who was holding it down for us on the photographic tip last night as Kutmah, Flying Lotus and Martyn tore apart Roundhouse. Promotion kudos goes to Soundcrash who continue to smash it with multiple headliners on events like this. No doubt be more appearing on the Phomandark blog and his Flickr account a little later on,…
