August 25, 2011Another session we’ve been looking forward to dropping for time, NKC (or NKC Productions) steps in to the mix with a mix recorded live on two CDJs. With a couple of 12″ releases (including an Awkward Movements wax debut) this year already and another forthcoming he never ceases to amaze us; pretty much everything he produces is brilliant. 28 tracks…
August 24, 2011If only there there could be a new Firecracker Recordings record each week. Alas, with the time and care they put in to making each release such a high standard, we’re not sure if they’ll ever be able to break free of their “about one a year” release schedule. Firecracker dropped their seventh release this week; produced by Fudge Fingas…
August 22, 2011Originally airing around 1990 on Channel Four, A Short Film About Chilling… has been credited with introducing ‘The Balearic Scene’ to mainstream UK television audience. I’ve no real desire to go to Ibiza, and I was just starting school when this doco was shot, so while I’m not the best person to commentate on how it’s changed for better or…
August 19, 2011Stepping in to Awkward Movements Sessions comes G.Davies. Big fan of what the man does, and keeping with the recent vibes he’s done it all wax, recorded live. Loving the fact he opened with a Sunn O))) joint before moving across a dope selection of his top 130ish tracks from the last few months and a few influences outside of dance…
August 17, 2011With the Omar-S full length album – It Can Be Done, But Only I Can Do It, CD only release, but definitely worth checking – arriving this month, there’s no doubt been a sudden rush on the ever-popular Omar-S ice cube trays. Endorsed and supplied by the Detroit producer’s own FXHE label and sold in a variety of colours for…
August 16, 2011Just bombed up the new RA chart for the month, loads of notable mentions in there including the double-sided track from Cobblestone Jazz, Dark Sky and the new drop on Cratesavers International (a four track compilation 12″ worth picking it up sooner rather than later), but there’s a handful of joints on the darker side of electronic music that are…
August 13, 2011Our resident photographer Timmy K steps back in to the mix for his second Awkward Movements Sessions in nearly as many months. Constantly vibing on new joints, he’s been also been educating us as of late on the heyday of jungle raves, flyering and tape packs that we missed out on the first time around. Always out shooting, its…
August 12, 2011I wrote about Dan McPharlin briefly in an article for Shook Issue #5 a while back, as the man responsible for the Mr Chop artwork on the producer’s seminal Lightworlds EP. The design on that record was loosely based on the world within the 8-bit format game Marble Madness, stunningly futurised even further according to Dan’s vision for the music.…
August 10, 2011Dropped this week through our friends at Jus Like Music comes a new EP from San Francisco based producer B.Lewis. First time I’ve clocked on to him myself, but evidently the man’s been turning heads in California and US scenes for a while, and his earlier beat tapes and associated projects are well worth checking out. Titled Plug EP, it’s…
August 8, 2011One not to miss, the Lostbahnhof Carnival Afterparty is set to be the best vibes going down over the long weekend. Residents James Broomfield, Semtek and TK are joined by a load of special guests boasting some of the best record collections we know about. The fact that they’ll be coming through a quality sound system at Raving Buddha…
